NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER • NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A renowned historian traces the life of a single object handed down through three generations of Black women to craft a “deeply layered and insightful” (The Washington Post) testament to people who are left out of the archives. WINNER: Frederick Douglass Book Prize, Harriet Tubman Prize, PEN/John Kenneth Galbraith Award, Anisfield-Wolf Book Award, Ralph Waldo Emerson Prize, Lawrence W. Levine Award, Darlene Clark Hine Award, Cundill History Prize, Joan Kelly Memorial Prize, Massachusetts Book Award ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, Slate, Vulture, Publishers Weekly “A history told with brilliance and tenderness and fearlessness.”—Jill Lepore, author of These Truths: A History of the United States In 1850s South Carolina, an enslaved woman named Rose faced a crisis: the imminent sale of her daughter Ashley. Thinking quickly, she packed a cotton bag for her with a few items, and, soon after, the nine-year-old girl was separated from her mother and sold. Decades later, Ashley’s granddaughter Ruth embroidered this family history on the sack in spare, haunting language. Historian Tiya Miles carefully traces these women’s faint presence in archival records, and, where archives fall short, she turns to objects, art, and the environment to write a singular history of the experience of slavery, and the uncertain freedom afterward, in the United States. All That She Carried is a poignant story of resilience and love passed down against steep odds. It honors the creativity and resourcefulness of people who preserved family ties when official systems refused to do so, and it serves as a visionary illustration of how to reconstruct and recount their stories today FINALIST: MAAH Stone Book Award, Kirkus Prize, Mark Lynton History Prize, Chatauqua Prize ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Times, NPR, Time, The Boston Globe, The Atlantic, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Smithsonian Magazine, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Ms. magazine, Book Riot, Library Journal, Kirkus Reviews, Booklist

Book Description
Everybody kept telling Jory Unger that she needed a man---her sister Missy, Lucas the maintenance man, her friend Toni when they met at the movies. Yet Jory wondered how she was supposed to find a man when her luck with men was so lousy. Besides, she had more important things to worry about---like how to stop her younger sister Missy from hanging out every night to all hours of the night with her new boyfriend, Joseph. So when Jory went to Joseph's apartment to have a talk with him and ended up telling her concerns to his older brother Caleb instead, she never considered him as man material because he had a girlfriend. Yet as circumstances repeatedly bring them together in the furtive act of collusion to control their younger siblings' hanging out to all hours of the night, Jory finds herself thinking of Caleb more than she could have anticipated. The question is will Caleb think of her in the same way?

Book Description
A playboy dragon shifter, a secret baby, and a nanny who can't stand cocky men Max As a dragon-shifter and one of the youngest billionaires in Seattle, I work hard during the day and party equally hard at night. I’m fastidious about my habits and don’t like setbacks of any kind. Especially when they come in the form of a baby girl abandoned at my doorstep. The sooner I take care of this problem, the better it is, so I can go back to the club. There’re two gorgeous blondes waiting for me to rock their night… Vivienne My brother wakes me at three in the morning because his boss, Mr. Rich & Hateful, has an emergency. He makes it sound like a life-or-death situation, so of course, I run to the penthouse. And what do I find there, besides my brother and the billionaire jerk? The most beautiful baby girl I’ve ever seen. She’s so tiny and just perfect, and I fall in love with her at first sight. Too bad she’s probably related to Mr. Prize—the man is too handsome for his own good, and I can’t stand the sight of him. I’ll endure his presence, though, for the baby’s sake. Hopefully, we don’t end up killing each other…

Pages : 410
Book Description
A critical and timely collection, Land as Relation introduces readers to an intersectional approach to Indigenous space and land-based education. Indigenous and ally-partnered contributors, from elders to emerging and established scholars, share teachings and scholarship grounded in Indigenous knowledge and philosophy. These diverse perspectives on Indigenous pedagogies are intersected with content surrounding Indigenous languages, sciences, mathematics, arts, health, and governance. Divided into three parts, this text defines the interrelatedness of global Indigenous land protectors and educators, and the significant impact of Indigenous knowledges, language, and ceremonies on the collective social, spiritual, and physical wellness of all living beings. Land as Relation demonstrates that Indigenous resistance and renaissance is essential for learners everywhere to understand how a collective notion of land education contributes to walking in harmony and balance, not only for themselves, but for their families, the larger communities that they are a part of, and the world. This collection is an accessible and engaging core resource for undergraduate and graduate students of education, Indigenous studies, geography, and environmental studies. FEATURES - Grounded in Indigenous knowledge systems and provides practical examples of how land-based pedagogies can be applied in different communities and contexts - Features contributions from noted and upcoming Indigenous and ally-partnered scholars who have been gifted access to elders and deep cultural and linguistic knowledges of Indigenous nations - Includes learning aids such as end-of-chapter discussion questions, maps, photographs, and other visual tools
