Black Skin White Masks

The explosion will not happen today. It is too soon.. .or too late. First published in English in 1968 Frantz Fanons seminal text was immediately acclaimed as a classic of black liberationalist writing. Fanons descriptions of the feelings of inadequacy & dependence experienced by people of colour in a white world are as salient & as compelling as ever. Fanon identifies a devastating pathology at the heart of Western culture a denial of difference that persists to this day. His writings speak to all who continue the struggle for political & cultural liberation in our troubled times. ...

Black Spring
£5.99
This is a fantasy reworking of Wuthering Heights" which interweaves wizard lore & vendetta with Emily Brontes beloved classic. " Black Spring" takes the passionate story of Emily Brontes " Wuthering Heights" & re-imagines it in a fantasy nineteenth-century society set in savage lands sustained by wizardry where its people live by the vengeance code of vendetta. Like " Wuthering Heights" its a story within a story featuring the brooding young Damek who is swept along by his emotions. The object of his affections is Lina daughter of the village lord whose magical powers make her a witch
- & witches are not tolerated in this brutally patriarchal society. When Lina is sent away & forced to become a servant Damek promises revenge & like Heathcliff spends a lifetime securing & refining it. This book has strong crossover potential & will appeal as much to adult fans of sophisticated fantasy & the Brontes as to teen fantasy readers. This is a beautifully written & unique take on " Wuthering Heights" which mixes wizard lore & the Armenian vendetta tradition with the epic romance of the original classic."
