by Jane AustenOf all Jane Austen&’s great and delightful novels, Persuasion—the story of a second chance at true love—is widely regarded as the most moving.With a new introduction by Brandon Taylor.Anne Elliot, daughter of the snobbish Sir Walter Elliot, is woman of quiet charm and deep feelings.

Spell Freedom: The Underground Schools That Built the Civil Rights Movement
by Elaine WeissThe acclaimed author of the &“stirring, definitive, and engrossing&” (NPR) The Woman&’s Hour returns with the story of four activists whose audacious plan to restore voting rights to Black Americans laid the groundwork for the Civil Rights Movement. In the summer of 1954, educator Septima Clark and small businessman Esau Jenkins travelled to rural Tennessee&’s Highlander Folk School, an interracial training center for social change founded by Myles Horton, a white southerner with roots in the labor movement. There, the trio united behind a shared mission: preparing Black southerners to pass the daunting Jim Crow era voter registration literacy tests that were designed to disenfranchise them. Together with beautician-turned-teacher Bernice Robinson, they launched the underground Citizenship Schools project, which began with a single makeshift classroom hidden in the back of a rural grocery store. By the time the Voting Rights Act was signed into law in 1965, the secretive undertaking had established more than nine hundred citizenship schools across the South, preparing tens of thousands of Black citizens to read and write, demand their rights—and vote. Simultaneously, it nurtured a generation of activists—many of them women—trained in community organizing, political citizenship, and tactics of resistance and struggle who became the grassroots foundation of the Civil Rights Movement. Dr. King called Septima Clark, &“Mother of the Movement.&” In the vein of Hidden Figures and Devil in the Grove, Spell Freedom is both a riveting, crucially important lens onto our past, and a deeply moving story for our present.

Growing in to Autism
by Sandra Thom-JonesFrom the outside looking in, Sandra Thom-Jones was living a successful life: she had a great career, a beautiful home, a caring husband, two loving sons and supportive friends. But from the inside looking out, she was struggling to make sense of her place in the world, constantly feeling overwhelmed and exhausted, and convinced that her challenges with daily life just meant that she had to try harder. In Growing In to Autism, Thom-Jones tells the story of gradually realizing that she was autistic, and that she experienced the world in ways which were markedly different from neurotypical people. This was a profound awakening - throughout her life she had been masking her true self and this effort had come at great physical, mental and emotional cost. Applying her skills as an experienced and expert researcher, Thom-Jones delved into the literature on autism in adults, learning much more than she already knew as a parent of two autistic boys. Part personal, funny, endearing and enlightening memoir, and part rigorous explication of the nature of autism, Growing in to Autism is a book for all people, memorably conveying the need for better understanding and ways of making space for a group of individuals in our society who have so much to offer.

Black Cargoes: A History of the Atlantic Slave Trade 1518–1865
by Daniel P. Mannix Malcolm Cowley&“A carefully understated but chilling account of the whole 3 ½ centuries during which 15 million Africans were snatched from their homes and delivered into slavery in the New World.&” —Time In 1518, the Atlantic slave trade began with the landing in the West Indies of the first enslaved people directly from Africa. These were the victims of a forced migration that was more callous and immensely larger, in the end, than any other such movement of modern or ancient times. Written in 1962, Black Cargoes attempts to tell where these exploited people came from, how they were enslaved in Africa, how they were purchased by sea captains, how they were packed into the hold like merchandise (although with greater losses in transit), and how the survivors were sold in West Indian and American markets. Author Daniel P. Mannix brings the horrifying spectacle to life, devoting attention to the engrossing and often fatal adventures of sea captains, smugglers, African agents, and sailors. But he never wavers from delivering &“a clear and frightening record of man&’s ability to allow the lust for money to deaden his sensibilities&” (The Journal of African American History). &“Both fascinating and horrifying. . . . It embodies the most careful research, and it also possesses literary charm.&” —Allan Nevins, Pulitzer Prize–winning author &“A sound book on a rich subject . . . it is the long-needed single volume covering all the salient angles of the evil, old trade.&” —The New York Times Book Review &“It translates the slave trade from statistics and conclusions into the sum total of individual human experiences.&” —Los Angeles Times
