The Cailiffs of Baghdad, Georgia: A Novel
Author: Mary Helen Stefaniak
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 0393080447
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
A hidden history of the South emerges when a worldly teacher leads Threestep, GA, to reinvent itself, setting in motion events that lead to triumph and tragedy for the black teenager who happens to be the smartest person in Piedmont County, Georgia, in 1938–39. As an epigraph from The Souls of Black Folk by W. E. B. Du Bois reminds us at the start of this novel, "Throughout history, the powers of single black men flash here and there like falling stars, and die sometimes before the world has rightly gauged their brightness." Protagonist Theo Boykin is a genius, an artist, an inventor, a Leonardo DaVinci–type, whose talents are sought after by local blacks and whites alike, but even this is not enough to save him. He falls victim to "the tragedy of ignorance and the damage caused by fear," in the words of poet Rita Dove—the first African American to serve as U.S. Poet Laureate and a member of the jury that conferred on The Cailiffs of Baghdad, Georgia the 2011 Anisfield-Wolf Award for books that "make a significant contribution to our understanding of racism and our appreciation for the diversity of human cultures." You won't forget Theo Boykin, nor will you forget his friends the Cailiffs, especially Gladys, who tells this story with love and bewilderment, and the teacher, Miss Spivey, who changes all their lives.

The Sexy Side of Self-Storage

Languages : en
Pages : 110
Book Description
Buying and selling self-storage can be a win-win-win prospect for all parties. Self-storage has become a household name in the past few years, not only on TV and to the general American public, but to Wall Street and private investors throughout the United States and abroad. This boom in demand for self-storage ownership has erupted the transactional volume--with facilities being sold for record prices and in record time. As such, we've also seen a development boom over the past few years, with investors trying to ride the storage wave and enjoy the wonderful profits that self-storage has historically delivered time and time again. Navigating this new landscape in the industry can be challenging, to say the least. With the entrance of a plethora of new capital and new competition comes a very sophisticated market with highly educated investors and big firms going head to head with the single owner-operators throughout the United States. This competitive environment and massive demand for self-storage creates an optimal sellers' market, one that can be extremely profitable with the right help. The Sexy Side Of Self-Storage was written to help any facility owner in the self-storage industry--but particularly the single owner-operator--maximize the value of their self-storage investment at sale.
