Politics, the Press, and a First Lady

“East Wing brought back wonderful memories for me...some things I hadn’t thought about in a long time. Mary’s stories about our White House days are accurate and fun to read.”
--Former First Lady Rosalynn Carter

“Mary Finch Hoyt’s memoirs of her years as press secretary to Rosalynn Carter are engrossing, informative and a wonderful read. In a time of ‘spin,’ she tells it like it was to be a part of history in the making. As a reporter on the other side of the fence, I learned a lot.”
--Helen Thomas, Hearst Newspapers Columnist

“Mary Hoyt helped Senator Ed Muskie’s wife navigate the highs and lows of a tumultuous presidential campaign in an era when it was rare for women to campaign on their own. Her memoir is a faithful and valuable contribution to the political record of those times.”
--Senator George Mitchell, author of “Making Peace”

“East Wing is an insightful and brilliant story that reveals how some of the most remarkable political partners of the 20th century—-including Eleanor McGovern—- found and exercised their public voices.”
--Senator George McGovern, author of “The Third Freedeom”

“In East Wing: Memoirs of Politics, the Press and a First Lady, Mary Finch Hoyt recounts her life journey that brought her to the White House as press secretary for Rosalynn Carter between 1977 and 1981. It is a candid and frank narrative that recaptures the promise and disappointments of the Carter years in a sympathetic yet realistic light. Rosalynn Carter emerges as the First Lady activist that she was, and Hoyt’s account should spark a reappraisal of this important but neglected presidential spouse. The anecdotes about the Carters’ travels, White House events, and campaigning will be a rich trove for future historians of this presidency.”
--Lewis L. Gould, from the introduction to East Wing

From Frederick Douglass to the present, the preoccupation of black writers with manhood and masculinity is a constant.  Black Manhood in James Baldwin, Ernest J. Gaines, and August Wilson explores how in their own work three major African American writers contest classic portrayals of black men in earlier literature, from slave narratives through the great novels of Richard Wright and Ralph Ellison.
 
Keith Clark examines short stories, novels, and plays by Baldwin, Gaines, and Wilson, arguing that since the 1950s the three have interrupted and radically dismantled the constricting literary depictions of black men who equate selfhood with victimization, isolation, and patriarchy. Instead, they have reimagined black men whose identity is grounded in community, camaraderie, and intimacy.
 
Delivering original and startling insights, this book will appeal to scholars and students of African American literature, gender studies, and narratology.

Texas Prison Life and Death from the Inside Out

The story of the author's thirty-year career in Texas prisons, from his first night as a shotgun-wielding guard to the last man he accompanied to the death chamber, Willett remembers not just the big events of his career but the small ones that give prison life its texture. In measured but powerful prose, he describes the efficient actions of the tie-down team, the prisoner's often meandering last words, and the way that he himself lifted his glasses from his nose to signal the executioner to start the IV flow.

Untangling the Roots of Black Hair in America

Two world wars, the Civil Rights movement, and a Jheri curl later, Blacks in America continue to have a complex and convoluted relationship with their hair. From the antebellum practice of shaving the head in an attempt to pass as a "free" person to the 1998 uproar over a White third-grade teacher's reading of the book Nappy Hair, the issues surrounding Black hair continue to linger as we enter the twenty-first century.

Hair Story is a historical and anecdotal exploration of Black Americans' tangled hair roots. A chronological look at the culture and politics behind the ever-changing state of Black hair from fifteenth-century Africa to the present-day United States, it ties the personal to the political and the popular.

Read about:

* Why Black American slaves used items like axle grease and eel skin to straighten their hair.
* How a Mexican chemist straightened Black hair using his formula for turning sheep's wool into a minklike fur.
* How the Afro evolved from militant style to mainstream fashion trend.
* What prompted the creation of the Jheri curl and the popular style's fall from grace.
* The story behind Bo Derek's controversial cornrows and the range of reactions they garnered.

Major figures in the history of Black hair are presented, from early hair-care entrepreneurs Annie Turnbo Malone and Madam C. J. Walker to unintended hair heroes like Angela Davis and Bob Marley. Celebrities, stylists, and cultural critics weigh in on the burgeoning sociopolitical issues surrounding Black hair, from the historically loaded terms "good" and "bad" hair, to Black hair in the workplace, to mainstream society's misrepresentation and misunderstanding of kinky locks.

Hair Story is the book that Black Americans can use as a benchmark for tracing a unique aspect of their history, and it's a book that people of all races will celebrate as the reference guide for understanding Black hair.
