Her brother held her back before she could cross. Some came to the seediest business quarter of the imperial city to buy warmth. When they arrived at the red-light district’s peeling archway, an ember sparked in the girl’s stomach. They emerged from the secret passageways the girl knew well- too well, perhaps, given her identity-and darted between courtyard compounds and walled wards, venturing toward the market sectors. When it descended into the bowels of the palace, so did the girl and her brother. It rolled down the neighboring Shanlong Mountains and embalmed the limestone boulevards. Those who lingered in the city streets kept their eyes trained on the Eastern Gate, where the queen would be making her annual return. The three-day mourning ritual had ended most had gone home to break the fast. No night was perfect for treason, but this one came close. But in trying times, truth is the first thing we betray.

“A powerfully written, admirably perceptive synthesis of the vast literature on lynching. “In this history of lynching in the post-Reconstruction South-the most comprehensive of its kind-the author has written what amounts to a Black Book of American race relations.” - The New Yorker Praise for At the Hands of Persons Unknown This landmark book follows the trajectory of both forces over American history-and makes lynching’s legacy belong to us all. If lynching is emblematic of what is worst about America, their fight may stand for what is best: the commitment to justice and fairness and the conviction that one individual’s sense of right can suffice to defy the gravest of wrongs. Wells, James Weldon Johnson, Walter White, and W.E.B. Philip Dray also tells the story of the men and women who led the long and difficult fight to expose and eradicate lynching, including Ida B. This extraordinary account of lynching in America, by acclaimed civil rights historian Philip Dray, shines a clear, bright light on American history’s darkest stain-illuminating its causes, perpetrators, apologists, and victims. “A landmark work of unflinching scholarship.”- The New York Times.WINNER OF THE SOUTHERN BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD FOR NONFICTION Publication date 1960 Publisher Boston : Little, Brown Collection inlibrary printdisabled trentuniversity internetarchivebooks Digitizing sponsor Kahle/Austin Foundation Contributor Internet Archive Language English.

Outspoken and intelligent, Marjane chafes at Iran’s increasingly conservative interpretation of Islamic law, especially as she grows into a bright and independent teenager. Told through the eyes of a child (as reflected in Satrapi’s simplistic yet expressive black-and-white artwork), the story shows how young Marjane learns about her family history and how it is entwined with the history of Iran, and watches her liberal parents cope with a fundamentalist regime that gets increasingly rigid as it gains more power. Like Maus, the main strength of Persepolis is its ability to make the political personal. As she grows up, she witnesses first-hand the effects that the revolution and the war with Iraq have on her home, family and school. Set in Iran during the Islamic Revolution, it follows the young Satrapi, six-year-old daughter of two committed and well-to-do Marxists. Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis is an exemplary autobiographical graphic novel, in the tradition of Art Spiegelman’s classic Maus. Elaine's new school is Avalon High (Go Excaliburs!)
