The books in the Florida and the Caribbean Open Books Series demonstrate the University Press of Florida’s long history of publishing Latin American and Caribbean studies titles that connect in and through Florida, highlighting the connections between the Sunshine State and its neighboring islands. Books in this series show how early explorers found and settled Florida and the Caribbean. They tell the tales of early pioneers, both foreign and domestic. They examine topics critical to the area such as travel, migration, economic opportunity, and tourism. They look at the growth of Florida and the Caribbean and the attendant pressures on the environment, culture, urban development, and the movement of peoples, both forced and voluntary. The Florida and the Caribbean Open Books Series gathers the rich data available in these architectural, archaeological, cultural, and historical works, as well as the travelogues and naturalists’ sketches of the area in prior to the twentieth century, making it accessible for scholars and the general public alike. The Florida and the Caribbean Open Books Series is made possible through a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, under the Humanities Open Books program.
Themes and motifs in the art of Kara Walker, from blackface to abjection, by a leading art historian In 2002, Kara Walker was selected to represent the United States at the prestigious São Paulo Art Biennial. Curator Robert Hobbs wrote extended essays on her work for this exhibition, and also for her show later that year at the Kunstverein Hannover. Because these essays have not been distributed in the US and remain among the most in-depth and essential investigations of her work, Karma is now republishing them in this new clothbound volume. Among the most celebrated artists of the past three decades, with over 93 solo exhibitions to her credit, including a major survey at the Whitney Museum of American Art, Walker is known for her tough, critical, provocative and highly imaginative representations of African Americans and whites reaching back to antebellum times. In his analysis, Hobbs looks at the five main sources of her art: blackface Americana, Harlequin romances, Julia Kristeva’s concept of abjection, Stone Mountain’s racist tourist attraction and the minstrel tradition. Robert Hobbs (born 1946) has written more than 50 books and catalogs, focusing on such artists as Milton Avery, Alice Aycock, Lee Krasner, Robert Smithson and Kehinde Wiley. Since 1991 he has held the Rhoda Thalhimer Endowed Chair of American Art in the School of Arts, Virginia Commonwealth University. Since 2004 he has served as a visiting professor at Yale University. Now based in New York, Kara Walker was born in Stockton, California, in 1969. She received her MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1994; soon afterward, Walker rose to prominence for her large, provocative silhouettes installed directly onto the walls of exhibition spaces.

The world falls from beneath me-literally-one winter night when I'm racing down the road on my beloved motorcycle. I tumble into a huge sinkhole, followed by the sheriff, who's doggedly chasing me. I find myself in a cavern covered with evil petroglyphs that are intent on killing me ...From that harrowing situation I go to another even more dire: A hotel inspector who seems bent on putting me out of business. Add to this, my evil little sister has surfaced to tangle with me, and now Mick, my dragon boyfriend, is acting mysterious and scary. Only the magic mirror, my interfering grandmother, and my new cook seem to know what's going on, all of them telling me that Mick has been touched by shadows.I have to figure out what that means and wrest him free of dark forces before the Dragon Council stick their smoldering noses in and a new witch in town destroys everything I love.

This book tells the story of three Black brothers who enlisted in the British West Indies Regiment and served King and Country in the First World War. It follows them from their birthplace in Barbados, via the colony of British Guiana, to the battlefields of Egypt and Palestine. Only two returned home. The book also tells of a daughter's search for the truth about the part her father and two uncles played in the war. This was truly a 'world war' but the role Black people played in it has often been ignored by the history books. This book seeks to play its part in redressing the balance. The author's search takes her from her birthplace in British Guiana, via a library in South London, to Seaford in Sussex and Marseilles in France where, ninety eight years after he died, she was able to visit the grave of her uncle. In telling the story of the three Walker brothers the book makes a unique contribution to the history of Black participation in the war

Joshua Beck, son of a Virginia plantation owner and his barn slave, flees west in 1821 after his mother dies and he's accused by his white half-brother of killing his father. He ends up in Missouri, where he volunteers for a large trapping party heading north on two keel boats. After saving the Colonel from drowning, he accompanies the land party to barter for horses with the Arikara. When a trapper tries to sneak into the village, the tribe assaults the party with arrows and bullets. While many trappers are killed, Beck saves his friend Moses. He must cross the Missouri River by himself to survive and heads north on foot. Starving, he's rescued by three Crows, Sun Walker and two cousins. After rejoining the land party that the keel boat dropped on shore far above the Arikara, they begin trapping. The Captain is mauled by a grizzly. Beck and Antoine, son of a trapper and a Mandan, search for a comrade and must escape from Pawnee pretending to be friendly. When they climb a tree to hide and sleep, a panther attacks Beck. Although woozy from a poisoned arrow that pierced his butt, he manages to win the battle. Antoine believes Beck will soon be dead and abandons him. By surviving on berries and a bison calf killed by wolves, Beck grows stronger only to meet a party of Sioux. They leave him alone due to his courage proven by the lacerations from the panther's paws. After losing his pants and hatchet to a flooded creek, he's accosted by five Gros Ventre of the prairie. They send a young brave after him in a contest. Jumping into a stream to escape, he's saved by Sun Walker, Storm Cloud and White Bear. Again, they return him to his party. Meanwhile, his half-brother Langford takes over the plantation. More interested in the local tavern and women, he murders an escort's husband, flees, and leaves the bankrupt estate to his mother and twin sister. He heads to Missouri where his uncle, an army Colonel, is stationed. After defeating the Arikara, Colonel Pennington assigns his corporal nephew to build a fort on the site of the former village. Langford soon makes a deal with the British Hudson Bay Company, fierce competitors of American trapping companies, to send furs down to New Orleans and across the Atlantic to quench the European thirst for beaver fur hats. Beck spends a summer at the Crow village where Sun Walker and her cousins live. He learns their language and customs and joins a horse raid against the Blackfoot. Sun Walker, who was brutally raped as a youth by the Blackfoot and has no interest in men, begins to grow fond of Beck, as he's been of her ever since their first meeting. But Beck feels he has a duty to help his land party reach their destination. Back with them, he continues volunteering for dangerous missions as they struggle against fire, malaria, black wolves and hostile tribes on their way to the Mandan villages and Fort Unity. Yet his biggest challenge arises when he unwittingly stops at Langford's fort.

did you forget about it? did you think it was going away? you can crawl backwards with a bucket hanging from your throat and still feel bad about it. barricading all of that shine inside your bones, the marrow sucked clean, the chipping at your knuckles, the vibrant shades, the neon gold, the bursting and the collapse. you'd never remember it if it wasn't so constant, so don't tell me you forgot. it's right there; it isn't going away. so, if you feel up to it, try to hold it close to your chest. see if it stops vibrating and settles in. see if it allows you to cradle it, maybe rock it to sleep, and expect it to wake up and knock around in your head until you decide to start all over. there's no sparkle anymore, no more light. but maybe you'll find it in bits and pieces somewhere before you die.

Of all the spots on the world's surface that I, George Walker, of Friday Street, London, have ever visited, Suez in Egypt, at the head of the Red Sea, is by far the vilest, the most unpleasant, and the least interesting. There are no women there, no water, and no vegetation. It is surrounded, and indeed often filled, by a world of sand. A scorching sun is always overhead; and one is domiciled in a huge cavernous hotel, which seems to have been made purposely destitute of all the comforts of civilised life. Nevertheless, in looking back upon the week of my life which I spent there I always enjoy a certain sort of triumph;-or rather, upon one day of that week, which lends a sort of halo not only to my sojourn at Suez, but to the whole period of my residence in Egypt. I am free to confess that I am not a great man, and that, at any rate in the earlier part of my career, I had a hankering after the homage which is paid to greatness. I would fain have been a popular orator, feeding myself on the incense tendered to me by thousands; or failing that, a man born to power, whom those around him were compelled to respect, and perhaps to fear.
