Appalachee Red
by Raymond Andrews
Bawdy and sometimes horrifying, hilarious on the way to being tragic, Raymond Andrews's Muskhogean County novels tell of black life in the Deep South from the end of the First World War to the beginning of the 1960s, from the days of mules and white men with bullwhips to the moment when the pendulum began to swing.

Meteor in the Madhouse

The Return of Simple
by Langston Hughes
In 1943, Langston Hughes introduced Jesse B. Semple, or "Simple," to readers in is Chicago Defender Column, "From Here To Yonder." From his familiar perch in a fictional Harlem bar, Simple held forth on a variety of subjects--low wages, interracial marriage, birth control, race riots, the police--then central to black life in urban America . More than fifty years later, Simple's concerns are, startlingly, still ours, and his voice, ringing with poetic wisdom and humor, reminds us of the rich African-American folk tradition Langston Hughes helped to revive. This brilliantly edited collection by Akiba Sullivan Harper brings together the best stories from a number of SIMPLE volumes long out of print and a few never before published. Its feel is so contemporary and relevant to American life one must marvel at Huges's ability to pass through the barrier of time.

Corregidora
by Gayl Jones
'History and fiction have yielded little about those black slave women who were mistress and breeder to their white owners. There are some facts and figures, but they tell us nothing about the women themselves: their motives, their emotions, and the memories they passed on to their children. Gayl Jones's first novel is a gripping portrait of this harsh sexual and psychological genealogy....Jones's language is subtle and sinewy, and her imagination sure. 'Everything said in the beginning must be said better than in the beginning.' Ursa (Corregidora) vows. Gayl Jones fulfills that pledge.'--Margo Jefferson, Newsweek

Heart of the Falcon
by Francis Ray
