Book Description
In Stories for My Sons, Marko Vukosavovic traces his Montenegrin family history, from fleeing Ottoman Empire oppression in the Balkans in the 15th century, to enjoying boisterous family breakfasts in New Jersey in the 21st. His accounts are heart-wrenching, uplifting and hilarious all at once. He details his father's battles against Nazi forces with a price on his head, as well as his own experience as a soldier, as Yugoslavia disintegrated in the 1990s, leaving Vukosavovic as a man without a country. His vignettes paint scenes of Montenegrin weddings where gunplay is expected, childhood beach soccer tournaments and fishing contests on the Adriatic coast, white-knuckle car chases across an African desert, as well as his quest to build a new life for his family in America.

Book Description
2020 Chautauqua Prize Finalist 2020 NAACP Image Award Nominee - Outstanding Literary Work (Nonfiction) Best-of Lists: Best Nonfiction Books of 2019 (Kirkus Reviews) · 25 Can't-Miss Books of 2019 (The Undefeated) Explores the terror, grace, and beauty of coming of age as a Black person in contemporary America and what it means to parent our children in a persistently unjust world. Emotionally raw and deeply reflective, Imani Perry issues an unflinching challenge to society to see Black children as deserving of humanity. She admits fear and frustration for her African American sons in a society that is increasingly racist and at times seems irredeemable. However, as a mother, feminist, writer, and intellectual, Perry offers an unfettered expression of love—finding beauty and possibility in life—and she exhorts her children and their peers to find the courage to chart their own paths and find steady footing and inspiration in Black tradition. Perry draws upon the ideas of figures such as James Baldwin, W. E. B. DuBois, Emily Dickinson, Toni Morrison, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Ida B. Wells. She shares vulnerabilities and insight from her own life and from encounters in places as varied as the West Side of Chicago; Birmingham, Alabama; and New England prep schools. With original art for the cover by Ekua Holmes, Breathe offers a broader meditation on race, gender, and the meaning of a life well lived and is also an unforgettable lesson in Black resistance and resilience.
