OPRAHS BOOK CLUB PICK  A HARPERS BAZAAR BEST BOOK OF 2022  A PARADE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK  A MARIE CLAIRE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKIts clear from the first page that Davis is going to serve a more intimate, unpolished account than is typical of the average (often ghost-written) celebrity memoir; Finding Me reads like Davis is sitting you down for a one-on-one conversation about her life, warts and all.USA Today[A] fulfilling narrative of struggle and success.Her gorgeous storytelling will inspire anyone wishing to shed old labels.Los Angeles Times In my book, you will meet a little girl named Viola who ran from her past until she made a life-changing decision to stop running forever.This is my story, from a crumbling apartment in Central Falls, Rhode Island, to the stage in New York City, and beyond. This is the path I took to finding my purpose but also my voice in a world that didnt always see me.As I wrote Finding Me, my eyes were open to the truth of how our stories are often not given close examination. We are forced to reinvent them to fit into a crazy, competitive, judgmental world. So I wrote this for anyone running through life untethered, desperate and clawing their way through murky memories, trying to get to some form of self-love. For anyone who needs reminding that a life worth living can only be born from radical honesty and the courage to shed facades and be . . . you.Finding Me is a deep reflection, a promise, and a love letter of sorts to self. My hope is that my story will inspire you to light up your own life with creative expression and rediscover who you were before the world put a label on you.

Finding Me

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ‘A fascinating exploration into the lives of three women ignored by history … Eye-opening, engrossing’ Brit Bennett, bestselling author of The Vanishing Half In her groundbreaking debut, Anna Malaika Tubbs tells the incredible storIES of three women who raised three world-changing men. Much has been written about Berdis Baldwin's son James, about Alberta King's son Martin Luther and Louise Little's son Malcolm. But virtually nothing has been said about the extraordinary women who raised them, each fighting their own battles, born into the beginning of the twentieth century and a deadly landscape of racial prejudice, Jim Crow, exploitation, unpoliced violence and open police vitriol. It was a society that would deny their sons’ humanity from the beginning as it had denied theirs, but Berdis, Alberta and Louise were extraordinary women who instilled resilience, resistance and greatness in their sons. They would become mothers not just to three world-famous men but to the civil rights movement itself. These women represent a piece of history left untold and a celebration of Black motherhood long overdue.

Three Mothers

Historische verhalen over de slavernij zijn in groten getale geschreven, maar de mystieke en traditionele krachten bleven nog onderbelicht. In dit boek, doorgegeven in de dromen van U.J.H. Cairo, wordt u meegenomen naar de voormalige kolonie Suriname, waar zware slavernij werd bedreven. Dit avonturenverhaal beschrijft de kracht van de weggelopen slaven die opstonden tegen de Europese overheersers. Ze verdwenen van de plantages, maar keerden terug om hun medelotgenoten een nieuwe vrije toekomst te geven. Het verhaal dat voorheen van mond tot mond werd overgeleverd is nu voor het eerst op een avontuurlijke manier opgetekend. U.J.H. Cairo is geboren op 12 maart te Vierkinderen in Suriname. Op een jonge leeftijd is hij naar Nederland gekomen en is opgegroeid in Doetinchem (Gelderland). Zijn geboorteland, Suriname, en haar traditionele mystiek heeft altijd onbewust een rol gespeeld in zijn leven. Vanuit datgene wat tot hem gekomen is in zijn dromen brengt hij het nooit volledig vertelde verhaal van wat er achter de afschaffing van de Surinaamse slavernij heeft afgespeeld.

Destruction of Black Civilization

Olive Senior's new collection of stories, The Pain Tree, is wide-ranging in scope, time period, theme, locale, and voice. Winner of the OCM Bocas Prize for Caribbean Literature, The Pain Tree is Olive Senior at her very best, unforgettable short stories set in Jamaica and Canada, now available in this beautiful UK and Caribbean edition from Peepal Tree Press. Olive Senior’s new collection of stories, The Pain Tree, is wide-ranging in scope, time period, theme, locale, and voice. There is — along with her characteristic “gossipy voice” — reverence, wit and wisdom, satire, humour, and even farce. The stories range over at most a hundred years, from around the time of the second world war to the present. Like her earlier stories, Jamaica is the setting but the range of characters presented are universally recognisable as people in crisis or on the cusp of transformation. While most of the stories operate within a realist mode, Senior also exploits traditional motifs. Collected here are revenge stories (“The Goodness of my Heart”), a bargain with the Devil (“Boxed-in”), a Cinderella story (“The Country Cousin”), a magical realist interpretation of African spiritual beliefs (“Flying”) and a narrator’s belated acceptance of the healing power of traditional beliefs (“The Pain Tree”). “Coal” is a realist story set in the war years and depression that followed as folks try to find a new place in the world. Senior’s trademark children awakening to self-awareness and to the hypocrisy of adults are here too, from the heartbreaking “Moonlight” and “Silent” to the girls in “Lollipop” and “A Father Like That” who learn to confront loneliness and vulnerability with attitude.

The First Woman

From acclaimed author and researcher Dr. Joy DeGruy comes this fascinating book that explores the psychological and emotional impact on African Americans after enduring the horrific Middle Passage, over 300 years of slavery, followed by continued discrimination. From the beginning of American chattel slavery in the 1500’s, until the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment in 1865, Africans were hunted like animals, captured, sold, tortured, and raped. they experienced the worst kind of physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual abuse. Given such history, Dr. Joy DeGruy asked the question, “Isn’t it likely those enslaved were severely traumatized? Furthermore, did the trauma and the effects of such horrific abuse end with the abolition of slavery?” Emancipation was followed by another hundred years of institutionalized subjugation through the enactment of Black Codes and Jim Crow laws, peonage and convict leasing, and domestic terrorism and lynching. Today the violations continue, and when combined with the crimes of the past, they result in further unmeasured injury. What do repeated traumas visited upon generation after generation of a people produce? What are the impacts of the ordeals associated with chattel slavery, and with the institutions that followed, on African Americans Today?Dr. DeGruy answers these questions and more as she encourages African Americans to view their attitudes, assumptions, and emotions through the lens of history. By doing so, she argues they will gain a greater understanding of the impact centuries of slavery and oppression has had on African Americans. Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome is an important read for all Americans, as the institution of slavery has had an impact on every race and culture. b“A masterwork. [bDeGruyb’s] deep understanding, critical analysis, and determination to illuminate core truths are essential to addressing the long-lived devastation of slavery. Her book is the balm we need to heal ourselves and our relationships. It is a gift of wholeness. ”—Susan Taylor, former Editorial Director of Essence magazine

The Story of Afro Hair

Winti, een boek voor de jeugd, gaat over de Wintireligie. Dit geloof is ontstaan in Suriname nadat mensen uit verschillende delen van Afrika gedwongen werden als slaven met elkaar te leven. Hun religies leken op elkaar. Die vermengden zich en zo ontstond Winti. De hele koloniale periode is het de Afrikanen (tegenwoordig Afro-Surinamers) erg moeilijk gemaakt hun religie te beleven. Eeuwenlang kon Winti slechts mondeling, en vooral in het geheim worden overgedragen. Kort na de afschaffing van de slavernij is Winti zelfs strafbaar gesteld, dit ten gunste van de kerstening van de Afro-Surinamers. Wie tussen 1874 en 1971 betrapt werd op het beleven van het geloof, riskeerde een gevangenisstraf en een geldboete. Religie is niet alleen de manier waarop een groep het leven en de wereld om zich heen verklaart, religie behoort ook tot de geschiedenis van een groep. Fu sabi pe yu e go, yu musu sabi pe yu komoto (om te weten waar je heen gaat, moet je weten waar je vandaan komt/moet je je geschiedenis kennen). In Winti maakt de lezer kennis met de grote lijnen van dit cultureel erfgoed. Het boek is ook interessant voor volwassenen.
