Hardback. Etat : Good. Lily knows that nothing is more important than family. She's so proud when her sister, Eubie, wins a college scholarship.

Paperback. Etat : Good. In her powerful third collection, Alice Walker writes vivid, beautiful poems of 'breakdown and spiritual disarray.'

Paperback. Etat : Good. Short fiction about the female experience from the New York Times best-selling author of The Color Purple, "one of the best American writers of today" (Washington Post). Here are stories of women traveling with the weight of broken dreams, with kids in tow, with doubt and regret, with memories of lost loves, with lovers who have their own hard pasts and hard edges. Some from the South, some from the North, some rich and some poor, the characters that inhabit In Love & Trouble all seek a measure of self-fulfillment, even as they struggle with difficult circumstances and limiting social conventions. The stories that make up Alice Walker's debut short fiction collection reflect her tenacious commitment to face brutal and sometimes melancholy truths while also illuminating the ways in which the courageous pursuit of love brings hope to even the most harrowing lives.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. Zora Neale Hurston(1891 -- 1960) Of the various signs that the study of literature in America has been transformed, none is more salient than is the resurrection and canonization of Zora Neale Hurston. Twenty years ago, Hurston's work was largely out-of-print, her literary legacy alive only to a tiny, devoted band of readers who were often forced to photocopy her works if they were to be taught . Today her works are central to the canon of African-American, American, and Women's literatures . The author of four novels, Jonah's Gourd Vine (1934), Their Eyes Were Watching God (1937), Moses, Man of the Mountain (1939), and Seraph on the Suwanee (1948); two books of folklore -- Mules and Men (1935) and Tell My Horse (1938); an autobiography, Dust Tracks On a Road (1942); and over 50 short stories, essays, and plays, Hurston was one of the most widely acclaimed Black authors for the two decades between 1925 and 1945.-- from the Preface by Henry Louis Gates, Jr.…

Hardback. Etat : Good. Designed to address the major health issues facing African-Americans, such as obesity, diabetes, cancer, and heart disease, Lighten Up: The HealthQuest 30-Day Weight-Loss Program uses a three-part approach -- nutrition, fitness, and body-mind-spirit awareness -- to provide a sensible plan for permanent weight loss, without sacrificing the foods folks love. Lighten Up is an eye-opening look at the relationship between African-Americans' chronic health issues and their ancestral diet, and it examines soul food (notoriously high in fat, sodium, and cholesterol) and the role it plays in the African-American community. The nutrition component of the plan includes five comprehensive food pyramids as well as instructions on how to adapt them to individual diets. The program is also bolstered by "Think It Through" and "For Your Spirit" exercises, using affirmations, meditations, and self-reflection to empower the reader. Finally, more than thirty delicious, low-fat, low-sodium adaptations of favorite African-American dishes are provided, along with two weeks of menus and meal and exercise planners. Lighten Up is a true path to permanent weight loss for African-Americans.…
