Secrets from Jacob's tumultuous relationship with Isaac's mother and the shame he carries from the dissolution of their family.

Book Description
In The Tears of the Black Man, award-winning author Alain Mabanckou explores what it means to be black in the world today. Mabanckou confronts the long and entangled history of Africa, France, and the United States as it has been shaped by slavery, colonialism, and their legacy today. Without ignoring the injustices and prejudice still facing blacks, he distances himself from resentment and victimhood, arguing that focusing too intensely on the crimes of the past is limiting. Instead, it is time to ask: Now what? Embracing the challenges faced by ethnic minority communities today, The Tears of the Black Man looks to the future, choosing to believe that the history of Africa has yet to be written and seeking a path toward affirmation and reconciliation.

Book Description
"In 1815, deep within Africa, a fifteen-year-old prince of the Matabele nation is captured and sold to slave traders in Mozambique. As he travels on a ship bound for America, the prince realizes he will never again hear his name--Atachawayo--cried out in greeting. But as soon as the ship docks in New Orleans, Samuel, as he is now known, escapes with a member of the slave ship's company and enters into a bargain that will change the direction of his life forever. After he becomes the shadow master of a large plantation in Georgia, he begins planning his revenge against the man who brought him to America in chains ... As he begins what will become a thirty-five-year journey from the confines of slavery to the joy of freedom ... Samuel stops at nothing to fulfill his promise to himself to achieve total revenge."--Back cover

Book Description
Hard Times and Survival: The Autobiography of an African American Son is my story. It is how I overcame all the heartbreaking, brutal, and horrendous circumstances that I was born into in 1947. I saw it all in my first sixteen years: unbridled lust, gross immorality, damning lies, and terrible brutality by my father against me and my mother. He tried to kill me once but kept up a constant campaign of horrible abuses of my mother until I left home at sixteen. However, success is the best revenge! After three years of alcoholism, I pulled myself together and went back to school on my own. That was after I spent a year in Job Corps from 1966 to 1967. From 1975 to 1977, I went to Piedmont Virginia Community College in Charlottesville. From 1977 to 1980, I attended Virginia State University in Petersburg. I earned my BA and MA degrees. I studied above a master's at the University of Virginia at Charlottesville from 1980 to 1983. I did not graduate, but I learned valuable life lessons. I started to write in 1993 about what had happened to me over the years and how I used my dire circumstances as motivation to pick myself up and make my life better. I hope I am an example that will help others who are suffering through similar atrocities to be motivated to not give up but persevere and that they will, as I did, overcome anything they are being faced with.
