Book Description
Growing up in the still segregated South, Wanda early on had her outlook Colored Cold. The daughter of an unfaithful undertaker, she had to pass the house of Miss Kathleen, her father's mistress, on her way to school, whose children shouted taunts, even the tobacco-chewing toddler Tilly. When her Arkansas town enforced integration, white reporters came to her home to interview her mama, who had bravely kept her children in school. Mama spoke her mind in perfect English and didn't put up with people mistreating her family. Mistreatment from Daddy was another matter. Neglect and callousness from this relationship continued the chill that froze Wanda's future relationships. Colored Cold gives a chilling account of poverty, abuse, and compounded consequences from poor choices. Although most of her wisdom came through difficult experiences, Wanda refused to succumb and strengthened her resolve. This revealing autobiography shares one woman's heartache from broken promises and painful relationships.

The Colors of Cold
Author: J. M. Sidorova
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1476756139
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 75
Book Description
A stunning new ebook original story by J. M. Sidorova Includes an exclusive excerpt of Sidorova’s acclaimed debut novel, The Age of Ice. Speculative fiction icon John Crowley calls J. M. Sidorova’s The Age of Ice “marvelous.” Karen Joy Fowler, author of The Jane Austen Book Club, hails it as “everything you could want in a novel.” Now, in this special ebook-only story, Sidorova returns to the world of The Age of Ice—her captivating blend of fiction, history, and fantasy—offering a mesmerizing new tale of the power of cold. In April 1814, just days after Napoléon’s defeat by the coalition of the European powers, Prince Alexander Velitzyn, the hero of The Age of Ice, is drifting around Paris, coming to grips with the brutality of the war and his role in it. Unbeknownst to him, Alexander strolls through the same passageways as another human being just like him. Hidden behind costume and makeup, twenty-two-year-old Cherie performs a daily show in the Palais-Royal, a noble palace where shopkeepers and showgirls have set up all manner of risqué commerce—boutiques, gambling rooms, and pubs designed to satiate every desire of the senses. Cherie, though, is an unusual act. Her feat relies on physics, not trickery. She is a young woman making do with the fate she’s been dealt—not just the terror of revolution, but her own, crippling coldness. Then, one evening, a wounded young soldier named Julien comes to her room, and what happens threatens to upend Cherie’s notion of the world and herself. The Colors of Cold is a beautifully imagined glimpse into two lives trapped by frost—metaphorical and literal—set amid one of the most stirring moments in the history of Paris.

Comrades of Color
Author: Quinn Slobodian
Publisher: Berghahn Books
ISBN: 1782387064
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 335
Book Description
In keeping with the tenets of socialist internationalism, the political culture of the German Democratic Republic strongly emphasized solidarity with the non-white world: children sent telegrams to Angela Davis in prison, workers made contributions from their wages to relief efforts in Vietnam and Angola, and the deaths of Patrice Lumumba, Ho Chi Minh, and Martin Luther King, Jr. inspired public memorials. Despite their prominence, however, scholars have rarely examined such displays in detail. Through a series of illuminating historical investigations, this volume deploys archival research, ethnography, and a variety of other interdisciplinary tools to explore the rhetoric and reality of East German internationalism.
