Mavis is a normal teenager but with a unique connection with birds. On her 13th birthday her grandmother reveals that like each female in the generations before Mavis, it is her destiny to develop the abilities of the birds she loves. To a shocked Mavis, Grandma explains that these abilities were given to a descendant back in the 15th Century for her bravery, by an Incan chief whose life she saved when the Spanish Conquistadors were invading and plundering the Incas gold. The chief gave her two gifts. A magical bracelet made of gold and gems, telling her that she and her descendants must always wear it to access the powers and a gold statue, that would link them to the Incas. Mavis's ancestor was sworn to secrecy and so began the story of generations of women fighting against evil. With Grandma's guidance and the help of a cheeky Macaw sidekick called Jervis, Mavis soon has the powers of the birds of the world including flying as fast as a Peregrine falcon at 300kmh, magnifying sound like an owl and mimicing as perfectly as the Superb Lyre Bird to help her, as she begins her adventures
Hurricane Jim Crow

Hurricane Jim Crow

sidottu
On an August night in 1893, the deadliest hurricane in South Carolina history struck the Lowcountry, killing thousands—almost all African American. But the devastating storm is only the beginning of this story. The hurricane's long effects intermingled with ongoing processes of economic downturn, racial oppression, resistance, and environmental change. In the Lowcountry, the political, economic, and social conditions of Jim Crow were inextricable from its environmental dimensions.This narrative history of a monumental disaster and its aftermath uncovers how Black workers and politicians, white landowners and former enslavers, northern interlocutors and humanitarians all met on the flooded ground of the coast and fought to realize very different visions for the region's future. Through a telescoping series of narratives in which no one's actions were ever fully triumphant or utterly futile, Hurricane Jim Crow explores with nuance this painful and contradictory history and shows how environmental change, political repression, and communal traditions of resistance, survival, and care converged.

A BLACK CONGRESSMAN in the AGE JIM CROW: SOUTH CAROLINA'S GEORGE WASHINGTON MURRAY
"Through the political biography of George W. Murray, one sees the myriad forces arrayed against southern Republicanism in the late nineteenth century and also witnesses the trials and tribulations one of the major African American political leaders faced in the quest for racial justice in the new South."--Bernard Powers, College of Charleston Born a slave in 1850s South Carolina and elected to Congress in the 1890s, George W. Murray appeared to be the antithesis of the African American male in the Jim Crow South and served as a beacon for African Americans who saw their hopes crushed in the aftermath of the Civil War. Early in the twentieth century, however, tragically defeated by corrupt Reconstruction politics and white supremacist attitudes he could not escape, Murray was driven from office and from the state. Drawing on extensive research to reconstruct Murray's life story, Marszalek defines an age and its people through the compelling battle of one man and shows how and why the nation's efforts to reconstruct the South into a biracial democracy failed. Murray's career, which spanned a quarter of a century, included two terms in the U.S. House of Representatives and leadership of South Carolina's Republican party. He was an investor as well as a landed property owner who sold tracts to poor blacks in order for them to qualify to vote. But by the beginning of the twentieth century, with his party in shambles, he found himself on trial for alleged forgery in a land deal with two of his black land purchasers. Murray was found guilty, and the South Carolina Supreme Court upheld the verdict. Sentenced to hard labor on a chain gang, he escaped to Chicago where he spent the rest of his life in obscurity.
