“Who do you thank you are, the Quane of Anglund?” That’s what Grace Marie’s father used to say to her whenever he thought she was getting out of her place. In her fifties now, Grace Marie is a college professor living in a beach town in California, and when she gets a phone call telling her that her father is dead, she is glad. She hopes her return for his funeral will be her “last trip home.” As a young girl Grace Marie struggled to escape from poverty, her father's lecherous, controlling grip, and a husband in the Klan. Determined to get an education, she clawed her way to a comfortable life and a home with indoor toilets—but her most unexpected struggle turned out to be survivor’s guilt, so she kept returning home to “fix” her family and the sharecropper shack. After her father’s funeral, Grace Marie burns down the family home—only to discover that she has unexpected ties to both the land and the people in her community. She realizes she will never have a “last trip home.”

Who was Sydney Rinard? God loves everyone. He does. But sometimes he sends someone to us who channels that love so well that their life revolves around sharing it. Not in fancy lights or productions. Just by being them. This book is about one such person. My dad, Sydney Rinard. He was an ordinary man. But he was an extraordinary man. Those who were lucky enough to know him already understand that. In his gentle, unpretentious ways, he touched so many lives. He would help anyone in need. Anyone. He was not a famous man. He did not walk the red carpet, win an MVP, or discover the newest scientific breakthrough. He was a son, husband, father, and grandfather. He was an engineer, a woodworker, a friend. He was humble as the day was long but affected so many others with his oversized heart and love for his creator. He loved everyone. And he was funny. Life made him laugh. He was truly happy. Why write a book about him? Sydney Rinard was the type of man that the world needs to know and emulate. As his only daughter, I felt it was not fair for me to keep him all to myself. He wanted to reach out to everyone before he died, so I am now giving all humankind this opportunity to get to know him and be his friend. This story follows his life and a final posthumous journey with me to the beautiful Rocky Mountains in Colorado that will touch your heartstrings. Does God have a favorite? No. But if he did, Sydney Rinard would make his short list.

In a long overdue contribution to geography and social theory, Katherine McKittrick offers a new and powerful interpretation of black women’s geographic thought. In Canada, the Caribbean, and the United States, black women inhabit diasporic locations marked by the legacy of violence and slavery. Analyzing diverse literatures and material geographies, McKittrick reveals how human geographies are a result of racialized connections, and how spaces that are fraught with limitation are underacknowledged but meaningful sites of political opposition. Demonic Grounds moves between past and present, archives and fiction, theory and everyday, to focus on places negotiated by black women during and after the transatlantic slave trade. Specifically, the author addresses the geographic implications of slave auction blocks, Harriet Jacobs’s attic, black Canada and New France, as well as the conceptual spaces of feminism and Sylvia Wynter’s philosophies. Central to McKittrick’s argument are the ways in which black women are not passive recipients of their surroundings and how a sense of place relates to the struggle against domination. Ultimately, McKittrick argues, these complex black geographies are alterable and may provide the opportunity for social and cultural change. Katherine McKittrick is assistant professor of women’s studies at Queen’s University.
