The Crisis, founded by W.E.B. Du Bois as the official publication of the NAACP, is a journal of civil rights, history, politics, and culture and seeks to educate and challenge its readers about issues that continue to plague African Americans and other communities of color. For nearly 100 years, The Crisis has been the magazine of opinion and thought leaders, decision makers, peacemakers and justice seekers. It has chronicled, informed, educated, entertained and, in many instances, set the economic, political and social agenda for our nation and its multi-ethnic citizens.

A woman attempts to prevent herself from falling in love at sixty years of age, but her ardent admirer is not giving up that easily. The daunting experience of throwing her world upside down is mellowed by applying humor to the situation. Finally, she reasons that nowadays, we will all live to be ninety and people need to fill the final decades of their lives with fun and passion. As always, love wins the day, and a partnership between two hitherto stubborn and rather selfish people is formed, whereby new and exciting experiences are shared. However, Yvonne Taylors advice to others of her age is not to be taken all too seriously!

The book delves into the complexities of colonialism and its impact on both the native African populations and the European colonizers, offering a balanced perspective on this controversial period in history. E. Alexander Powell, a renowned journalist and author, draws on his extensive knowledge of African history and politics to present a nuanced analysis of the white man's quest for domination in Africa.

In the early 1970s, César Alvarez enlists in the navy to escape a life of crime; while the decision saves him from the streets, it also lands him amid volatile racial tensions at a crucial moment in US history. "Skillfully blending his fictional hero’s coming-of-age story with a real-life racial confrontation aboard ship, Carter’s tale is a winning combination of military procedural, suspense, and Black history." —Booklist, Starred Review "Taking its title from a nautical term for a conundrum, the novel is a coming-of-age and redemption story about two young Black men going through boot camp, training school and their first assignments in an early 1970s Navy struggling with racism and sexism." —The Oregonian The Vietnam War is raging, the US Navy has only recently begun the process of integration, and the country is reeling from racial turmoil and unrest. So why does César, a street-tough kid of Afro-Cuban descent, enlist in the navy? He is on the run from a life of crime and from Mr. Mike, a charismatic, sociopathic gangster who was once a mentor but has now turned on him. Escaping into a navy wrestling with its history of racism and sexism, César soon sees the absurdity of certain prejudices that seem as old as the US Armed Forces. When he is deployed aboard the USS Kitty Hawk, racial tensions are high and are moving quickly toward violence. Through it all, César’s ever-growing sense of honor and self-worth force him to make moral decisions he never knew he was capable of. It’s a fortitude he will desperately need.
