How did blacks settle in the village of Glendale, Ohio? The answer is simple--through the Underground Railroad. Who led them? The answer to that question is why you should continue reading. It appears as though at times history only has room for a few people whose names we hear over and over again, reinforcing their importance. Others not only fall way below the radar of importance, but their existence has literally been wiped off the face of the earth. That was the price one paid for aiding slaves in their effort to achieve freedom. Through this book, you'll learn that there were a number of significant dedicated leaders who gave their lives and significant contributions for the freedom of a people. They were unlikely ambassadors instrumental in the Underground Railroad movement and to the village of Glendale. Among those are an amazing Underground Railroad conductor, two local black pastors of churches in the village who at the time were great influencers, and a teacher so significant in the movement that Eckstein School was named after her. You'll learn that there were three schools for black children in Glendale before the Historic Eckstein School. While there are many unanswered questions relating to blacks settling in Glendale, one thing is certain. Blacks lived in the village even before the village was incorporated in 1855.

Down and In: Life in the Underground was originally published in 1987 and traces the development of New York's underground scene by way of Lower Manhattan's hotspots from the late 1940s to the mid-1980s. A dialogic and semi-autobiographical report, Down and In taps the immediate wealth of experience of many subterraneans down and in as voiced in face-to-face interviews with the narrator. "Making this book was more than bar-hopping down memory lane. It is a collaborative cross-cultural construction with a star-studded road gang helping Ron find the way to his own history. And more." -- New York Times Book Review This newly designed edition of Down and In is Volume 10 of The Ronald Sukenick Edition.

His eight novels, three collections of short stories, and four books of nonfiction/theory, published between 1968 and 2005, have variously been described as avantgarde, energetically performative, dissident, revisionistic, and a threat to all hierarchies. Educated at Cornell University, New York, and Brandeis University, Massachusetts, Sukenick taught as Professor of English at the University of Colorado, Boulder, from 1975 to 1999, where he was also director of the creative writing program. Sukenick co-founded the publishing house the Fiction Collective (now FC2) and edited the journals American Book Review and Black Ice Magazine.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • PULITZER PRIZE WINNER • NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER • "An American masterpiece" (NPR) that chronicles a young slave's adventures as she makes a desperate bid for freedom in the antebellum South. • The basis for the acclaimed original Amazon Prime Video series directed by Barry Jenkins. Cora is a slave on a cotton plantation in Georgia. An outcast even among her fellow Africans, she is on the cusp of womanhood—where greater pain awaits. And so when Caesar, a slave who has recently arrived from Virginia, urges her to join him on the Underground Railroad, she seizes the opportunity and escapes with him. In Colson Whitehead's ingenious conception, the Underground Railroad is no mere metaphor: engineers and conductors operate a secret network of actual tracks and tunnels beneath the Southern soil. Cora embarks on a harrowing flight from one state to the next, encountering, like Gulliver, strange yet familiar iterations of her own world at each stop. As Whitehead brilliantly re-creates the terrors of the antebellum era, he weaves in the saga of our nation, from the brutal abduction of Africans to the unfulfilled promises of the present day. The Underground Railroad is both the gripping tale of one woman's will to escape the horrors of bondage—and a powerful meditation on the history we all share. Look for Colson Whitehead’s new novel, Crook Manifesto, coming soon!

Young readers “will be carried along by the sheer excitement of the story” of 17th-century slavery and witchcraft by the million-copy selling author (The New York Times).

Rumors about witches are spreading like wildfire throughout the state, filling the heads of Salem’s superstitious, God-fearing residents. When the reverend’s suggestible young daughter, Betsey, starts having fits, the townsfolk declare it to be the devil’s work. Suspicion falls on Tituba, who can read fortunes and spin flax into thread so fine it seems like magic. When suspicion turns to hatred, Tituba finds herself in grave danger. Will she be judged guilty of witchcraft and hanged? Loosely based on accounts of the period and trial transcripts, Ann Petry’s compelling historical novel draws readers into the hysteria of America’s deadly witch hunts.
