Book Description
American author Jane Dossick extends her mastery of the short-story format in a wide range of stories that features her finest and most mature work to date. In Memory of Lizzie Breed and Other Stories, the stories are full and rounded, sad but often tinged with humor and empathy. Subtly written (without flourishes) each story is a muted dramatic study that demonstrates the range and craftsmanship of an author who has mastered the psychology of people both young and old. Her eye for detail and command of family dynamics distinguish this uncommonly rich collection ideal for anyone who appreciates the finely turned tale.

Book Description
When gold was first discovered in the arid regions of Western Australia it attracted from all parts of the world the rich, the adventuous, the hard-working family man, the characters, the villians, and a miscellaneous array of misfits. Together, they created a kind of history the author has endeavoured to record with both pathos and humour. These vivid stories have authentic backgrounds and some stem from gossip, yarns, pub talk, with origins that are hazy. But nobody who lived throughout the early days of the pioneer town of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, would deny the possibility of any of them.

Book Description
For over two centuries, the topic of slave breeding has occupied a controversial place in the master narrative of American history. From nineteenth-century abolitionists to twentieth-century filmmakers and artists, Americans have debated whether slave owners deliberately and coercively manipulated the sexual practices and marital status of enslaved African Americans to reproduce new generations of slaves for profit. In this bold and provocative book, historian Gregory Smithers investigates how African Americans have narrated, remembered, and represented slave-breeding practices. He argues that while social and economic historians have downplayed the significance of slave breeding, African Americans have refused to forget the violence and sexual coercion associated with the plantation South. By placing African American histories and memories of slave breeding within the larger context of America’s history of racial and gender discrimination, Smithers sheds much-needed light on African American collective memory, racialized perceptions of fragile black families, and the long history of racially motivated violence against men, women, and children of color.
