"Hartfield begins with the early life of her mother, Day Shepherd. Born to a wealthy British plantation owner and the mixed-race daughter of a former slave, Day negotiates the complicated circumstances of plantation life in the border country of Louisiana and Mississippi and, as she enters womanhood, the quadroon and octoroon societies of New Orleans. Equally a tale of the Great Migration, Another Way Home traces Day's journey to Bronzeville, the epicenter of black Chicago during the first half of the twentieth century. We relive crucial moments in African American history as they are experienced by the author's family and others in Chicago's South Side black community, from the race riots of 1919 and the Great Depression to the murder of Emmett Till and the dawn of the civil rights movement."--BOOK JACKET.

Did you know that there is no regulation on commercially sold products? Some products we buy everyday contain ingredients that are known to cause irritation and in worst-case scenario even cause cancer. Until a few years ago, I didn't know either. Once I learned more about what ingredients were in store-bought products, the more control I wanted over what I was exposing myself to, and learned how easy it was to DIY things instead of buying them from the store. It is so empowering to make your own products. It gives you peace of mind to know exactly what you are putting on and in your body. My hope is that this book shows you that ease and empowers you to try it for yourself. This book: ✅ Explains the ingredients for each recipe as well as why they are included ✅ Includes links and guidance on where ingredients can be found, and what to look for when making your purchase ✅ Has scannable QR codes to access video tutorials for each recipe ✅ Answers frequently asked questions regarding recipe yield, shelf-life, and optional ingredients ✅ Provides step-by-step instructions on how to make and use each recipe This book is perfect for: ✅ Anyone looking to take control of their health and well-being ✅ Gifting to the DIY-er in your life ✅ You, yes you!

The promise of America is that, with ambition and hard work, anyone can rise to the top. But now the promise has been broken, and we’ve become an aristocracy where rich parents raise rich kids and poor parents raise poor kids. We’ve been told that the changes are structural, that there’s nothing we can do about this. But that doesn’t explain why other First World countries are beating us hands down on the issue of mobility. What's different about America is our politics. An ostensibly progressive New Class of comfortably rich professionals, media leaders, and academics has shaped the contours of American politics and given us a country of fixed economic classes. It is supported by the poorest of Americans, who have little chance to rise, an alliance of both ends against the middle that recalls the Red Tories of parliamentary countries. Because they support an aristocracy, the members of the New Class are Tories, and because of their feigned concern for the poor, they are Red Tories. The Way Back explains the revolution in American politics, where political insurgents have challenged the complacent establishment of both parties, and shows how we can restore the promise of economic mobility and equality by pursuing socialist ends through capitalist means.
