Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. In Divining Freedom, generations of Black families carry their hopes from the red clay roads of the post-Reconstruction South to the streets of Detroit - a city shimmering with promise, shadowed by limits they cannot yet see. From the Great Migration through the twenty-first century foreclosure…crisis, their lives ask a question that echoes across time: What does it mean to be free in a land that remembers your bondage and still demands your submission?George and Bertha Jones arrive in Detroit with little more than a wartime promise and an unshakeable belief that the North will be different. George works the foundry lines, saves, and dreams - until the dream proves too slow and the humiliations too familiar. What he builds instead is The Congregation: Detroit's shadow economy, part survival network, part underground government, filling the spaces where banks, courts, and city hall refused to go. Bertha raises their son Moses inside the dream George sacrificed everything for, never certain what the sacrifice has cost them.Rose Dunbar arrives in Detroit as a daughter of the Great Migration - a journalist, a truth-teller, the quiet conscience of everyone around her. When she marries Calvin Goodwin, a visionary young minister, the two remake themselves as Makena and Chike Okoye and build Amistad, a Black Liberation church at the center of Detroit's spiritual and political life. Makena gives Chike her theology, her intellect, and her voice. As Chike rises - trading favors with politicians, drifting toward power brokers, entangling himself with The Congregation and its schemes - she watches him use everything she gave him to build an empire that slowly forgets her.Their adopted son Zion comes to them with nothing and becomes the family's moral center - a street-level minister running a housing defense operation block by block, family by family, as Detroit's foreclosure crisis swallows the neighborhoods Amistad was built to protect. His wife Talitha is fierce, brilliant, and fiercely loyal - until the corruption at the heart of the church can no longer be defended. Moses Jones, Bertha's son and Detroit's brightest political hope, has spent his career fighting the very machinery his father helped build. When the city demands that Detroit choose a side, he steps forward with everything to lose.At the heart of this sweeping multigenerational novel are women whose voices are first silenced, then borrowed, then reshaped - until they claim them as their own. Daughters inherit the quiet endurance of their mothers, only to transform it into something sharper: a language of truth, justice, and self-possession. Alongside them, men pursue freedom through ambition, defiance, and control - until they confront the limits of conquest and the wreckage left behind.As Detroit rises and burns, as dreams are built and broken across generations, these lives reveal a deeper struggle - not only for survival, but for meaning. Who defines freedom? Who gets to speak it into being? And what must be unlearned to finally live it?Lyrical, intimate, and unflinching, Divining Freedom is a powerful portrait of migration, identity, and the enduring search for belonging - where the path to freedom is not only fought for, but reimagined. From the post-Reconstruction South to 21st century Detroit, Divining Freedom follows Black families across a century of faith, and resistance - asking what it means to be free.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Most of us were taught that voting is democracy. It isn't. Voting is one tool - and in a city where one in three homes has been lost to tax foreclosure, where water is shut off and neighborhoods wait while downtown is rebuilt, the ballot box alone has not delivered justice. That gap is where thi…s handbook begins.The Black Detroit Democracy Handbook is a practical, plainspoken guide to reclaiming power in the Blackest big city in America. It takes seriously the reasons so many Detroiters have stopped believing their participation matters - and then shows what real civic power looks like beyond Election Day. Drawing on Detroit's own long tradition of Black political organizing - from the Underground Railroad and the Black Slate to the unions, churches, and block clubs that built and defended the city - it argues that the same collective power that won past victories can be rebuilt now.Inside, readers will find a clear-eyed diagnosis of how Detroit's democracy was weakened, an accessible map of how city government actually works - the charter, the mayor, city council, and the boards and authorities that operate out of public view - and concrete strategies for organizing: building a shared agenda, changing the narratives used against Detroit, choosing and holding leaders accountable, mobilizing neighbors, and using ballot initiatives and the courts.Written for residents, organizers, students, faith leaders, and journalists - for anyone who wants to understand how this city is governed and how it can be reclaimed - this is a guide to turning frustration into power. Voting is not democracy - it's one tool. A plainspoken guide to reclaiming civic power in the Blackest big city in America, rooted in Detroit's own tradition of Black political organizing.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Most of us were taught that voting is democracy. It isn't. Voting is one tool - and in a city where one in three homes has been lost to tax foreclosure, where water is shut off and neighborhoods wait while downtown is rebuilt, the ballot box… alone has not delivered justice. That gap is where this handbook begins.The Black Detroit Democracy Handbook is a practical, plainspoken guide to reclaiming power in the Blackest big city in America. It takes seriously the reasons so many Detroiters have stopped believing their participation matters - and then shows what real civic power looks like beyond Election Day. Drawing on Detroit's own long tradition of Black political organizing - from the Underground Railroad and the Black Slate to the unions, churches, and block clubs that built and defended the city - it argues that the same collective power that won past victories can be rebuilt now.Inside, readers will find a clear-eyed diagnosis of how Detroit's democracy was weakened, an accessible map of how city government actually works - the charter, the mayor, city council, and the boards and authorities that operate out of public view - and concrete strategies for organizing: building a shared agenda, changing the narratives used against Detroit, choosing and holding leaders accountable, mobilizing neighbors, and using ballot initiatives and the courts.Written for residents, organizers, students, faith leaders, and journalists - for anyone who wants to understand how this city is governed and how it can be reclaimed - this is a guide to turning frustration into power.
