Madness transports readers through the ninety-three-year history of Crownsville Hospital, one of the last segregated asylums with surviving records and a campus that still stands to this day in Anne Arundel County, Maryland.  Antonia Hylton blends the intimate tales of patients and employees whose lives were shaped by Crownsville with a decade's worth of investigative research and archival documents. Madness chronicles the stories of Black families whose mental health suffered as they tried, and sometimes failed, to find safety and dignity. Hylton also grapples with her own family's experiences with mental illness, and the secrecy and shame that it reproduced for generations.  As Crownsville Hospital grew from an antebellum-style work camp to a tiny city sitting on 1,500 acres, the institution became a microcosm of America's evolving battles over slavery, racial integration, and civil rights. Hylton traces the legacy of slavery to the treatment of Black people's bodies and minds in our current mental healthcare system. It is a captivating and heartbreaking meditation on how America decides who is sick or criminal, and who is worthy of our care or irredeemable. \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eUSA Today\u003c\/i\u003e Bestseller \u003c\/b\u003e National Indie Bestseller \u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews \u003c\/i\u003eBest Nonfiction Books of the Year \u003ci\u003eELLE Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e's Best (and Most Anticipated) Nonfiction Books of 2024  Ent\u003ci\u003eertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e's Best Books to Read 2024  An Amazon \"Best Book of the Year\"\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAntonia Hylton \u003c\/b\u003eis a Peabody and Emmy-award winning journalist at NBC News reporting on politics and civil rights, and the co-host of the hit podcast Southlake and Grapevine.

Trevor was born to a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother at a time when such a union was punishable by five years in prison. Living proof of his parents' indiscretion, Trevor was kept mostly indoors for the earliest years of his life, bound by the extreme and often absurd measures his mother took to hide him from a government that could, at any moment, steal him away. Finally liberated by the end of South Africa's tyrannical white rule, Trevor and his mother set forth on a grand adventure, living openly and freely and embracing the opportunities won by a centuries-long struggle.  \u003ci\u003eBorn a Crime\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of a mischievous young boy who grows into a restless young man as he struggles to find himself in a world where he was never supposed to exist. It is also the story of that young man's relationship with his fearless, rebellious, and fervently religious mother--his teammate, a woman determined to save her son from the cycle of poverty, violence, and abuse that would ultimately threaten her own life.  The stories collected here are by turns hilarious, dramatic, and deeply affecting. Whether subsisting on caterpillars for dinner during hard times, being thrown from a moving car during an attempted kidnapping, or just trying to survive the life-and-death pitfalls of dating in high school, Trevor illuminates his curious world with an incisive wit and unflinching honesty. His stories weave together to form a moving and searingly funny portrait of a boy making his way through a damaged world in a dangerous time, armed only with a keen sense of humor and a mother's unconventional, unconditional love.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrevor Noah\u003c\/b\u003e is a comedian from South Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 336\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.2 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 12, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuiz Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upper Grades, 9-12\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.4\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45191486406735,"sku":"9780399588198","price":20.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/8328\/0463\/files\/ttxFyR8Vqb9780399588198.webp?v=1781204731"},{"product_id":"black-out-loud-the-revolutionary-history-of-black-comedy-from-vaudeville-to-90s-sitcoms-hardcover","title":"Black Out Loud: The Revolutionary History of Black Comedy from Vaudeville to '90s Sitcoms - Hardcover","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlat $7 shipping on every order.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eGeoff Bennett\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe award-winning co-anchor of \u003cem\u003ePBS NewsHour\u003c\/em\u003e presents a sweeping and insightful retrospective on the history of Black comedy in America.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlack comedians have long played a pivotal role in shaping the American sense of humor.

Racism in maternal healthcare is not reserved for the poor. An unsparing picture of inequities in prenatal care and childbirth in the United States, \u003ci\u003eExpecting Inequity\u003c\/i\u003e reveals that not only are black people three to four times more likely to die from a pregnancy-related cause, but racial disparities in maternal mortality persist across income levels. That is, wealthier black people are much more likely to die during pregnancy, childbirth, or the postpartum period than their white counterparts. Focusing on a San Francisco obstetrics clinic that caters to the affluent, Khiara Bridges looks at the choices around prenatal care and childbirth that class-privileged, pregnant black people are making in order to survive what has been called the \"black maternal health crisis.\" Bridges, whose previous work exposed how race and racism are embedded in maternal healthcare for the poor, draws on two years of participant-observation to show how wealthier black people try to leverage their class privilege to avoid some of the negative effects of their blackness--only to discover that in a country that has never reckoned with its horrific racial past, there is no escaping racism's reach. Throughout the book, engaging, heartbreaking, infuriating stories of women's experiences with pregnancy and prenatal care illustrate how race and racism matter regardless of wealth or status.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKhiara M.

As Nadia hides her secret from everyone, including Aubrey, her God-fearing best friend, the years move quickly. Soon, Nadia, Luke, and Aubrey are full-fledged adults and still living in debt to the choices they made that one seaside summer, caught in a love triangle they must carefully maneuver, and dogged by the constant, nagging question: What if they had chosen differently?

With lyrical precision, psychological directness, resonating symbolic power, and a rage born of compassion, Baldwin chronicles a fourteen-year-old boy's discovery of the terms of his identity as the stepson of the minister of a Pentecostal storefront church in Harlem.

His first novel, \u003ci\u003eGo Tell It on the Mountain\u003c\/i\u003e, appeared in 1953 to excellent reviews and immediately was recognized as establishing a profound and permanent new voice in American letters. \"Mountain is the book I had to write if I was ever going to write anything else,\" he remarked. Baldwin's play \u003ci\u003eThe Amen Corner\u003c\/i\u003e was first performed at Howard University in 1955 (it was staged commercially in the 1960s), and his acclaimed collection of essays Notes of a Native Son, was published the same year. A second collection of essays, \u003ci\u003eNobody Knows My Name\u003c\/i\u003e, was published in 1961 between his novels \u003ci\u003eGiovanni's Room\u003c\/i\u003e (1956) and \u003ci\u003eAnother Country\u003c\/i\u003e (1961). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe appearance of \u003ci\u003eThe Fire Next Time\u003c\/i\u003e in 1963, just as the civil rights movement was exploding across the American South, galvanized the nation and continues to reverberate as perhaps the most prophetic and defining statement ever written of the continuing costs of Americans' refusal to face their own history. It became a national bestseller, and Baldwin was featured on the cover of Time magazine. Critic Irving Howe said that \u003ci\u003eThe Fire Next Time\u003c\/i\u003e achieved \"heights of passionate exhortation unmatched in modern American writing.\" In 1964 \u003ci\u003eBlues for Mister Charlie\u003c\/i\u003e, his play based on the murder of a young black man in Mississippi, was produced by the Actors Studio in New York.

A collection of short stories, \u003ci\u003eGoing to Meet the Man\u003c\/i\u003e, was published in 1965, and in 1968, \u003ci\u003eTell Me How Long the Train's Been Gone\u003c\/i\u003e, his last novel of the 1960s appeared. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the 1970s he wrote two more collections of essays and cultural criticism: \u003ci\u003eNo Name in the Street\u003c\/i\u003e (1972) and \u003ci\u003eThe Devil Finds Work\u003c\/i\u003e (1976).

Linking the caste systems of America, India, and Nazi Germany, Isabel Wilkerson explores eight pillars that underlie caste systems across civilizations, including divine will, bloodlines, stigma, and more. Using riveting stories about people--including Martin Luther King, Jr., baseball's Satchel Paige, a single father and his toddler son, Wilkerson herself, and many others--she shows the ways that the insidious undertow of caste is experienced every day. Finally, she points forward to ways America can move beyond the artificial and destructive separations of human divisions, toward hope in our common humanity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: \u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Boston Globe, O: The Oprah Magazine, \u003c\/i\u003e NPR, \u003ci\u003eBloomberg, The Christian Science Monitor, New York Post, \u003c\/i\u003e The New York Public Library, \u003ci\u003eFortune, Smithsonian Magazine, Marie Claire, Slate, Library Journal, Kirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eWinner of the \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e Book Prize - National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist - Winner of the Carl Sandburg Literary Award - Dayton Literary Prize Finalist - PEN\/John Kenneth Galbraith Award for Nonfiction Finalist - PEN\/Jean Stein Book Award Finalist - Kirkus Prize Finalist\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIsabel Wilkerson\u003c\/b\u003e, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Humanities Medal, is the author of the critically acclaimed \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller \u003ci\u003eThe Warmth of Other Suns, \u003c\/i\u003e which won the National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction and was named to \u003ci\u003eTime\u003c\/i\u003e's 10 Best Nonfiction Books of the 2010s and \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e's list of the best nonfiction books of all time.
