Book Description
Told in the Huts is an illustrated book of personal contributions from soldiers and war workers, and was originally published in 1916 "for the benefit of the Y.M.C.A. Active Service Campaign amongst our Soldiers, Sailors & Munition Workers, in all parts of the world." Little has been compiled about the role the YMCA played in providing comfort and support to those involved in WWI conflicts, and that is why we chose to reproduce this wonderful book. We hope to provide an insight into the services provided by the YMCA in the trenches and the support provided to both civilians and servicemen. The book describes how individuals were involved and affected by war in this very touching and moving compilation of stories and poems.

Blake; or, The Huts of America
Author: Martin R. Delany
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674088727
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 374
Book Description
Martin R. Delany’s Blake (1859, 1861–1862) is one of the most important African American—and indeed American—works of fiction of the nineteenth century. It tells the story of Henry Blake’s escape from a southern plantation and his subsequent travels across the United States, into Canada, and to Africa and Cuba. His mission is to unite the black populations of the American Atlantic regions, both free and slave, in the struggle for freedom, whether through insurrection or through emigration and the creation of an independent black state. Blake is a rhetorical masterpiece, all the more strange and mysterious for remaining incomplete, breaking off before its final scene. This edition of Blake, prepared by textual scholar Jerome McGann, offers the first correct printing of the work in book form. It establishes an accurate text, supplies contextual notes and commentaries, and presents an authoritative account of the work’s composition and publication history. In a lively introduction, McGann argues that Delany employs the resources of fiction to develop a critical account of the interconnected structure of racist power as it operated throughout the American Atlantic. He likens Blake to Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle, in its willful determination to transform a living and terrible present. Blake; or, The Huts of America: A Corrected Edition will be used in undergraduate and graduate classes on the history of African American fiction, on the history of the American novel, and on black cultural studies. General readers will welcome as well the first reliable edition of Delany’s fiction.
