In This Book Has No Title: The Black Book, Collins I. Aki presents a collection of verses and comments on color, race, and future. Collaborating with the artwork of Harouna Ouédraogo, Aki makes a case for the idiom of black genius as the idiom of future par excellence. Through verses and comments on time, history, thought, love, past works of poetry, reading, myth, and other experiences in a movement of word and line that Aki credits to the experimental idiom of the jazz mystic, Sun Ra, the Black Book offers a metaphor of the future that has always been among us as the "now/here/always/after" that 'we' are. The Black Book is more of a cypher than a journey, going from poetry to prose to "politics," Aki charges the reader to embrace black genius in all of its motion and emotion of world.

Federico Garcia Lorca called The Public "the best thing I've written for the theater." Yet, he acknowledged, "this is for the theater years from now." Now, half a century later, The Public and another of Lorca's most daring works, Play without a Title, are available in English translation for the first time. Surrealism, folk theater, poetry, vivid costumes, black humor--in the The Public, dramatic traditions are ransacked to develop themes as timely in the 1980s as they were taboo when Lorca was writing: if Romeo were a man of thirty and Juliet a boy of fifteen, would their passion be any less authentic? No, says a young observer of the play within the play, "I who climb the mountain twice each day and, when I finish studying, tend an enormous herd of bulls that I've got to struggle with and overpower at every instant, I don't have time to think about whether Juliet's a man or a woman or a child, but only to observe that I like her with such a joyous desire." In both The Public and Play without a Title, the player himself is of as much consequence as the role he plays. The fierce, stark Play without a Title, with its cast of Author, Prompter, Stagehand in the wings, and hecklers in the gallery, clearly heralds developments in today's avant-garde theater. It also reflects the violence of the times in which it was written. As Carlos Bauer notes in his introduction, neither of the plays in this volume was complete in 1936, when Lorca was assassinated by Franco's forces. Still, both have here the unity and grace of finished tours de force.

Inspired by his bizarre encounters with the odd and the unusual in Asbury Park, New Jersey, made famous by Bruce Springsteen, Mermelstein vigorously prowled the streets of New York City in the mid-1980s, snapping up scenes of vivid colour, glitz, artifice and unrelenting ugliness. Attracted to the surreal and outlandish, including everything from dog shows to grand openings of malls, Mermelstein took his project across the decades and across the country, resulting in this bizarre catalogue of the wacky, quirky, oddly lyrical sights of America. 75 full-colour photos.

Beginning with the 1760s, when lynching and vigilantism came into existence in what is now the United States, this bibliography fills a void in the history of American collective violence. It covers over 4,200 works dealing with vigilante movements and lynchings, including books, articles, government documents, and unpublished theses and dissertations. Following a chapter listing general works, the book is arranged into four chronological chapters, a chapter on the frontier West, a chapter on anti-lynching, and chapters on literature and art. The book opens with a chapter devoted to general works. It then includes chapters on the period from the Colonial era to the Civil War, the Civil War through 1881, and the periods from 1882 to 1916 and 1917 to 1996. The work then turns to the frontier West and to anti-lynching bills, laws, organizations, and leaders. Finally, the book includes chapters on vigilantism in literature and art.
