![]() ![]() As the money pours in, Hannah hides her millions across 29 banks. Hannah quietly invests in the stock market, growing her fortune with the help of businessmen. ![]() ![]() Shedding her past, Hannah slips on a new identity before relocating to New York City to become as rich as a robber baron. This is the beginning of an odyssey that moves back and forth in time and reveals the dangerous secrets of a mysterious woman, the fortune she built, and her precipitous fall.Born in Philadelphia in the late 1800s, Hannah Elias has done things she’s not proud of to survive. A murder and a case of mistaken identity brings the police to Hannah Elias’ glitzy, five-story, twenty-room mansion on Central Park West. The author of the award-winning Sally Hemings now brings to life Hannah Elias, one of the richest black women in America in the early 1900s, in this mesmerizing novel swirling with atmosphere and steeped in history. ![]() ![]() ![]() In between accounts of such fabulous flights and efforts of concentration which "draw you down so very deep," there are delightful portraits of a set of attractive parents (shameless connoisseurs of jokes, both ancient and practical) and not unaffectionate views of Pittsburgh's Old Guard, at Country Club play to actually praying (to teen-ager Dillard's angry astonishment) in sables and tailcoats, in their gold-plated church). ![]() To the tot, "mindless and eternal," playing on the kitchen floor, will come, in the roaring flood of time, "the breakthrough shift between seeing, and knowing you see." Aware as the dickens, Dillard found that everything in the world is "an outcrop of some vast vein of knowledge." The child Dillard will read books "to delirium," investigate rocks and insects, "pry open a landscape" with a microscope, draw faces, and just because it felt marvelous, pretend to fly, arms flapping, clown a Pittsburgh main street. There is less tugging at the rare insight, the wild surmise, as in, say, Dillard's Teaching the Stone to Talk (1982), and this bright, imaginative whack through the "overgrown path" back to the past is more accessible to the general reader. Dillard's headlong immersion into the mysteries of the natural world-from bedrocks to the heavens, and flora and fauna (from amoebas to us)-places this childhood memoir of life with a companionable family in Pittsburgh's elite enclave in the 50's and 60's. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() to an alien world utterly transformed by cataclysm and time: Earth.Ī writer of dazzling genius and imaginative vision, Neal Stephenson combines science, philosophy, technology, psychology, and literature in a magnificent work of speculative fiction that offers a portrait of a future that is both extraordinary and eerily recognizable.

The following chapter, “Imagined Bodies,” sets up one of Mustakeem’s important historiographical interventions. Whilst this chapter perhaps lacks a better grounding in West and West Central African historiography, it makes clear that the arrival of European ships and the expansion of the slave trade left individuals, often regardless of status, vulnerable. From a woman grabbed by two men as she went to bathe in a nearby river to two men tricked aboard a ship and plied with alcohol, the precarious and destabilising impact of Atlantic Slavery is continually emphasised. It begins along the coast of West and West Central Africa, recounting the numerous ways individuals fell into captivity. The book is broadly structured through the processes of warehousing, transport, and delivery. ![]() ![]() Slavery at Sea: Terror, Sex, and Sickness in the Middle Passage is a handbook to the infamous “Middle Passage.” This is a text anchored in the Atlantic Ocean, taking the reader along each point in, what Mustakeem refers to as, “the human manufacturing process.” Charting the hundreds of thousands of voyages taken by English and American sailors and their enslaved cargoes, Mustakeem “min for the forgotten” shifting our understanding of the Middle Passage from a symbol or transitory event to an empirically grounded lived experience. ![]() |
