Com prehensive biography of Sara's life that describes the abuse of slaves and details the Civil War from a slave's perspective. The novel also illuminates many elements of slave culture, such as "jumping the broom" when Sara gets married, explaining wh y slave quarters were reputed to be so dirty, and describing the pain of being forcibly separated from family. This biographical fiction also aptly expresses other concerns of the turn of the century era: Sara's master is a drunk, and most of the il ls that befall Sara and those she loves are due to his drinking (hence, the temperance movement). All of the Afro-american dialogue is in the traditional American slave dialect of the time.

Autobiography of an African-American Lt. Cl. Johnson's military career lasted from the early forti es until 1962. His story chronicles the challenges and frustrations of being a minority in the military, as well as the manner in which racism has developed in the army. While the effects of institutionalized racism are still felt, the methods in wh ich they are enacted are more subtle than in the past, and therefore more difficult to confront. Johnson also makes note of the seemingly forgotten history of Blacks in the military and includes portraits of two historical figures of Black military history: Cr. Charles Young (West Point, 1889) and Rev. H.M. Turner (Chaplain during the Civil War). The front page of this scarce book is inscribed by the author to Julian Bagley, an Afro-american juvenile author and fellow Hampton Institute graduat e.

While Long's raci al background is unknown, she was born in Miami, Oklahoma in an era when it was the second Black town in the state. It would be very unlikely that she was white. The novella deals with several dynamics of social prejudice and expectation. The heroin e of the piece is unique in her self-determination to divorce her abusive husband. A romance simmers between her and her new boss, Malcolm Reed. When it becomes known that Reed is actually Black, despite his fair skin, the protagonist must face her dual prejudices against men and African-Americans. An equal strain is placed on Malcolm's shoulders, as he confronts his family's prejudices against his new love. An unusual book, both in publication and content. $175.00
