They both have secrets. But neither dare to speak of them...Luca feigns personal questions. When he isn't hiding behind the lens of a camera, he assumes a suave Italian façade in order to avoid acknowledging his true ethnicity and jaded past. Luca prefers black and white film because it makes the world seem simple and uncomplicated. Savannah is a small-town southern girl just trying to pick up the pieces of her shattered family after the devastating loss of her older brother, Tommy, a soldier killed on deployment in Afghanistan. With Tommy gone, Savannah floats aimlessly through nursing school, finding herself in places the two of them would frequent just to feel something again. Savannah sees the loss in Luca's eyes. She is drawn to his pain because, maybe for a moment, it lets her forget her own. As frost settles on the south Georgia streets, Luca's past boils over into the present. Perhaps, it is love. Or perhaps, they merely longed for a time and place that never existed.

In this transnational account of black protest, Nicholas Grant examines how African Americans engaged with, supported, and were inspired by the South African anti-apartheid movement. Bringing black activism into conversation with the foreign policy of both the U.S. and South African governments, this study questions the dominant perception that U.S.-centered anticommunism decimated black international activism. Instead, by tracing the considerable amount of time, money, and effort the state invested into responding to black international criticism, Grant outlines the extent to which the U.S. and South African governments were forced to reshape and occasionally reconsider their racial policies in the Cold War world. This study shows how African Americans and black South Africans navigated transnationally organized state repression in ways that challenged white supremacy on both sides of the Atlantic. The political and cultural ties that they forged during the 1940s and 1950s are testament to the insistence of black activists in both countries that the struggle against apartheid and Jim Crow were intimately interconnected.

Creide Press is delighted to republish Raven Dane's dark fantasy trilogy known collectively as The Legacy of The Dark Kind. The trilogy is an exciting cross over genre consisting of dark fantasy, alternative history and even a hint of science fiction. From the first novel, Blood Tears, it has gained an enthusiastic following and inspired artwork, music and even tattoos from its readers. It is not a paranormal romance series, the Dark Kind do not sparkle! They are not human or supernatural beings but of a species higher up the food chain than humans. They have no interest in emotional contact with humans which would be considered bestiality to them. Their long life span is a result of their unique biology. Sunlight does not kill them but will permanently blind them. Once much of the known world was ruled by Dark Kind kings and queens, protecting their human subjects from invasions by raiders or barbarian armies. As mankind evolved and multiplied, one by one, the Dark Kind ruled lands were lost, leaving their few survivors to find a way to adapt in the new order of human domination. By the 20th century only one Dark Kind noble exists, Prince Azrar, warlord ruler of Isolann, a remote land ringed by vast black granite mountains in the Upper Balkans. Created to protect his subjects, can Azrar hold back the advances of human society as the 20th century gets closer to his secretive domain? Raven Dane is a UK based author of dark fantasy, award winning steampunk, horror, alternative fiction and science fiction. She has twice been listed as one of the top female writers in horror and is in demand for her horror short stories Creide Press thanks the team at SelfPubBookCovers for the wonderful artwork for the Legacy of the Dark KInd covers.

Black college football began during the nadir of African American life after the Civil War. The first game occurred in 1892, a little less than four years before the Supreme Court ruled segregation legal in Plessy v. Ferguson. In spite of Jim Crow segregation, Black colleges produced some of the best football programs in the country. They mentored young men who became teachers, preachers, lawyers, and doctors--not to mention many other professions--and transformed Black communities. But when higher education was integrated, the programs faced existential challenges as predominately white institutions steadily set about recruiting their student athletes and hiring their coaches. Blood, Sweat, and Tears explores the legacy of Black college football, with Florida A&M's Jake Gaither as its central character, one of the most successful coaches in its history. A paradoxical figure, Gaither led one of the most respected Black college football programs, yet many questioned his loyalties during the height of the civil rights movement. Among the first broad-based histories of Black college athletics, Derrick E. White's sweeping story complicates the heroic narrative of integration and grapples with the complexities and contradictions of one of the most important sources of Black pride in the twentieth century.

In Holy Tears, Holy Blood, Richard D. E. Burton continues his investigation of Catholic France from Revolution to Liberation. From his focus in Blood in the City on public demonstrations of the cultural power of Catholicism, he now turns to more private rituals, those codes of conduct that shaped the interior lives of French Catholic women and determined their artistic and social presentation. "Here there is rather less blood, and considerably more weeping," Burton says. In portraits of eleven women, including Simone Weil and Sainte Thèrése, he traces the lasting power of particular expressions of suffering and sacrifice. How, Burton asks, does a rapidly modernizing society accommodate the cultural-historical legacy of religious belief, in particular the extreme conservative beliefs of ultramontane Catholicism? Burton pays particular attention to the doctrine of "vicarious suffering," whereby an individual suffers for the redemption of others, and to certain extreme forms of religious experience including stigmatization, self-starvation, visions, and apparitions.
