Описание: Walter Prescott Webb (1888-1963), a towering figure in Texas and western history and letters, published an abundance of books but for decades the autobiography he`d written late in life sat largely undisturbed among his papers. Webb`s remarkable story appears here in print for the first time, edited by Michael Collins, an authority on Texas history.

Описание: NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY NPR AND KIRKUS REVIEWS

In these twelve deeply personal, connected essays, Bernard details the experience of growing up black in the south with a family name inherited from a white man, surviving a random stabbing at a New Haven coffee shop, marrying a white man from the North and bringing him home to her family, adopting two children from Ethiopia, and living and teaching in a primarily white New England college town. Each of these essays sets out to discover a new way of talking about race and of telling the truth as the author has lived it. "Blackness is an art, not a science. It is a paradox: intangible and visceral; a situation and a story. It is the thread that connects these essays, but its significance as an experience emerges randomly, unpredictably. . . . Race is the story of my life, and therefore black is the body of this book."
