On a cold September day in 1959 a 14 year old Canadian schoolboy, in just his first encounter with the police and in a crime of passion, was sentenced by a jury to hang. It is sad when any young boy is punished more harshly than should be for his crime. Fortunately, common sense prevailed and after three months the penalty was reduced to a life sentence. Six years later a journalist would write about this boy who, sentenced to hang until dead, had always claimed he was innocent.

Warning: This is an independent companion to To Kill a Mockingbird, meant to enhance your experience of the novel. If you have not yet bought Harper Lee's novel, make sure to purchase it before buying this unofficial Sidekick. Meet Jean Louise Finch, nicknamed "Scout." Six years old at the opening of the novel, this fiery tomboy is hardly the conventional "Southern lady," a fact which occasionally gets her into trouble with the more traditionally minded members of the small town of Maycomb, Alabama. But when a black man is accused of raping a white woman and Scout's father is appointed to defend him, Scout begins to see the darker side of her pleasant little town-and to question what it means to live justly in a world torn by race and class distinctions. One of the great classics of American literature, Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize winning To Kill a Mockingbird has sold millions of copies all over the world. With this Sidekick, you'll: - Learn what you might have missed on your first read of Lee's novel - Discover some of the book's secret gems and underlying themes - Explore possible alternate endings and imagine ideas for a prequel - Spend some more time with the characters you've come to know and love, delving deep into their psyches and hidden motives Sidekicks are entertaining and insightful reading companions, filled with delightful commentary and thought-provoking questions. Readers have raved that they "really put you in touch with the many layers of the novel," "keep you entertained even longer," and are "perfect if you want a vivid understanding of the story." Designed to be read side by side with the novels they complement, they'll give you even more reasons to love some of today's best books.
"Submersion journalism" happens when a reporter dares to see a story from the inside: to participate in the events at hand, sometimes undercover, and then to tell the tale from a distinct point of view rather than pretend to some ideal of objectivity. During the Bush years, Harper's correspondents infiltrated the Republican machine, from its lowliest canvassing operation to its corporate and evangelical elite, and they posed as shady clients for sleazy blue-chip lobbying firms. They shot machine guns, lounged in Vegas brothels, and peered into secret tunnels in Mexicali. They terrorized art museums and touched off worldwide fads.Here are some of the best examples of participatory reporting published in the past decade, called "brilliant work" by the Los Angeles Times.Contributors: Charles Bowden Adam Davidson Barbara Ehrenreich Steve Featherstone Kristoffer A.

A fresh examination of Harper's body of work as an archive of Black life, thought, and culture.The first book devoted to the groundbreaking poet's work, Understanding Michael S. Harper locates his poetic project within Black expressive tradition. The study examines poems drawn from the eleven volumes of verse that Harper (1938-2016) produced between 1970 and 2010, bringing attention to his poetry's sustained engagement with music, literature, and the visual arts. Author Michael A. Antonucci offers readers an account of the poet's career while assessing his verse and providing a sense of its perspective on Black America and American experience.Throughout his examination of Harper's verse, Antonucci builds upon the critical attention the poet received at the outset of his career—he was twice nominated for the National Book Award. Exploring the poet's celebrated examinations of history, kinship, and Black music, Understanding Michael S. Harper develops and expands critical dialogues about the poet and his body of work, which, Antonucci argues, presents a counter narrative about the composition and origins of the United States, reshaping prevailing discourse about race, nation, and identity.
