“This will be a bestseller, a must read! I could not put it down! This is by far the best book I’ve read in years . . . possibly ever!” —Reader review A Civil War–era secret brings modern-day consequences in a novel that asks: How long can the shadows of the past hang over one family? Philip Richards puts little value on his life. He avoids close relationships and blames himself for the sexual abuse his sister suffered at the hands of their grandfather. To drown his sorrows and evade his guilt, Philip drinks too much and engages in dangerous activities. When his father dies, two more life-changing events take place. Philip meets Edith, a free-spirited poet, with whom he feels an instant connection. He also comes across a manuscript, a stolen narrative that chronicles the Civil War relationship between his ancestor, Russell, and Fever, the slave who became his wife. As new details about Philip’s family and his own identity come to light, his perception of who he is and where he comes from is turned on its head. But even as Philip comes to terms with the issues that have loomed over his family for decades, fresh allegations bring the crimes of the past flooding into the present . . . Echoes of Our Ancestors is a dark and moving multi-generational saga that explores themes of trauma, race, and abuse—and the question of whether, and how, we can free ourselves from the past.

Echoes of the Ancestors: The Enduring Relevance of the Mythologies from our Ancient, African Ancestors challenges readers to abandon their preconceived notions and the many stereotypes relegated to Africa and Africans, and to engage with a collection of African myths as a way to learn from the past and discover new solutions for modern challenges. The book demonstrates the power of African myths to give meaning to experience. It offers readers a glimpse of the amazing diversity, knowledge, and ageless wisdom found in the mythology of the African continent. The text features stories from West, Central, East, and Southern African, as well as the African Islands. Readers are encouraged to engage with the stories and find new ways of understanding ancient stories with an emphasis on drawing connections to their own lives. The book is organized into four distinct units that address: the storyteller, the audience, and the landscape; traditions, creativity, and memory; origins, alchemy, and home; and evolution, application, and tomorrow. Individual concepts and topics covered include ancestral wisdom, the role of the mystic, African mythological traditions, African creation myths, African mythological metaphors for life, personal mythologies, and more. The revised first edition features coverage of a new myth, "The Woman with Two Skins." Underscoring the concepts of healing, unitary participation, and positive transformation, Echoes of the Ancestors is an emotional and illuminating resource for courses in Africana studies and African and world mythology.

Illustrated with never-before-published artifacts from the unique treasures in the museum's Northwest Coast collections, Listening to Our Ancestors profiles native communities of the Pacific Northwest and showcases the region's rich cultural history and artwork. Sophisticated in conception and execution and rich with symbolism, the totem poles, painted housefronts, masks, dance regalia, feast bowls, and elaborately decorated boxes made by the native people of the North Pacific Coast have long been recognized as masterworks of art. Here, in a series of community self-portraits, cultural figures from eleven Northwest Coast nations discuss the ways in which these masterpieces, as well as everyday tools and utensils from the museum's collections, connect them with their forbears, who made and used these beautiful objects. Kwakwaka'wakw Chief Robert Joseph and the community curators contrast the approach anthropologists and art historians have taken to the treasures of the Northwest with Native people's perspective on their cultural legacy. In addition, Mary Jane Lenz explores the Northwest as a crossroads of native and non-native worlds in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when many of these works were collected, and today. With its striking images and community self-portraits, Listening to Our Ancestors invites readers to appreciate Northwest Coast art as its native inheritors do—for the spirit with which it is endowed. Official companion to the exhibition opening at the National Museum of the American Indian in November 2005.

In Echoes of Ararat, author Nick Liguori contends that oral traditions of the Flood - and the survival of the few inside the floating Ark - are even more prevalent than previously thought, and they powerfully confirm the truth of the Genesis account. This unprecedented work carefully documents hundreds of native traditions of the Flood - as well as the Tower of Babel and the Garden of Eden - from the tribes of North and South America. Learn what the Cherokee, Lakota, Iroquois, Cheyenne, Inuit, Inca, Aztec, Guarani, and countless other tribes claimed about the early history of the world. Liguori also shares many evidences for the historical reliability of Genesis, and shows that the Genesis Flood account is not dependent on the Epic of Gilgamesh or other Near-Eastern texts, as skeptics claim. Rather, its author Moses had access to ancient records passed down by the early Patriarchs, including Joseph, Jacob, Abraham, and even Noah himself.
