This frontier policy continued along the upper Mississippi until the territories of Iowa, Wisconsin, and Minnesota were established.

Mainstream feminists rarely talk about meeting basic needs as a feminist issue, argues Mikki Kendall, but food insecurity, access to quality education, safe neighborhoods, a living wage, and medical care are all feminist issues. All too often, however, the focus is not on basic survival for the many, but on increasing privilege for the few. That feminists refuse to prioritize these issues has only exacerbated the age-old problem of both internecine discord and women who rebuff at carrying the title. Moreover, prominent white feminists broadly suffer from their own myopia with regard to how things like race, class, sexual orientation, and ability intersect with gender. How can we stand in solidarity as a movement, Kendall asks, when there is the distinct likelihood that some women are oppressing others? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn her searing collection of essays, Mikki Kendall takes aim at the legitimacy of the modern feminist movement, arguing that it has chronically failed to address the needs of all but a few women.

Here, Coates takes readers along on his journey through America's history of race and its contemporary resonances through a series of awakenings -- moments when he discovered some new truth about our long, tangled history of race, whether through his myth-busting professors at Howard University, a trip to a Civil War battlefield, a journey to Chicago's South Side to visit aging survivors of 20th century America's \"long war on black people,\" or a visit with the mother of a beloved friend who was shot down by the police.

Slavery fueled the conflict, but somehow the passions of North and South came to focus on a lonely federal fortress in Charleston Harbor: Fort Sumter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaster storyteller Erik Larson offers a gripping account of the chaotic months between Lincoln’s election and the Confederacy’s shelling of Sumter—a period marked by tragic errors and miscommunications, enflamed egos and craven ambitions, personal tragedies and betrayals. Lincoln himself wrote that the trials of these five months were “so great that, could I have anticipated them, I would not have believed it possible to survive them.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the heart of this suspense-filled narrative are Major Robert Anderson, Sumter’s commander and a former slave owner sympathetic to the South but loyal to the Union; Edmund Ruffin, a vain and bloodthirsty radical who stirs secessionist ardor at every opportunity; and Mary Boykin Chesnut, wife of a prominent planter, conflicted over both marriage and slavery and seeing parallels between them. In the middle of it all is the overwhelmed Lincoln, battling with his duplicitous secretary of state, William Seward, as he tries desperately to avert a war that he fears is inevitable—one that will eventually kill 750,000 Americans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on diaries, secret communiques, slave ledgers, and plantation records, Larson gives us a political horror story that captures the forces that led America to the brink—a dark reminder that we often don’t see a cataclysm coming until it’s too late.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50180273701153,"sku":"","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/1011\/2545\/files\/9780385348744.jpg?v=1723749724"},{"product_id":"the-devil-in-the-white-city-murder-magic-and-madness-at-the-fair-that-changed-america","title":"The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America","description":"\u003cp\u003eBy Erik Larson\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaperback \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"bookpage\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"d-none d-sm-block\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"booktabs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-sm-12\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv role=\"tabpanel\" class=\"tab-pane active show\" id=\"tab-book-about\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-12 col-lg-10\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-detail-about\" data-component=\"book-detail-about\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST • From the #1\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ebestselling author of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Splendid and the Vile\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ecomes the true tale of the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago and the cunning serial killer who used the magic and majesty of the fair to lure his victims to their death. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“As absorbing a piece of popular history as one will ever hope to find.” —\u003ci\u003eSan Francisco Chronicle\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCombining meticulous research with nail-biting storytelling, Erik Larson has crafted a narrative with all the wonder of newly discovered history and the thrills of the best fiction.\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwo men, each handsome and unusually adept at his chosen work, embodied an element of the great dynamic that characterized America’s rush toward the twentieth century.

The murderer was Henry H. Holmes, a young doctor who, in a malign parody of the White City, built his “World’s Fair Hotel” just west of the fairgrounds—a torture palace complete with dissection table, gas chamber, and 3,000-degree crematorium. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBurnham overcame tremendous obstacles and tragedies as he organized the talents of Frederick Law Olmsted, Charles McKim, Louis Sullivan, and others to transform swampy Jackson Park into the White City, while Holmes used the attraction of the great fair and his own satanic charms to lure scores of young women to their deaths.
