This is the most recent in Meryl Taylor’s long series of literary offerings since 1987 when she first published Earthbound as a tribute to Elizabeth Steinberg, a murdered child from New York City. Proceeds went to the World Hunger Coalition. Since then, SCRAPS, 1988, with New Horizons, in Chula Vista, donated funds to Humane Society; Brown Mare, with Avant Garde, in Missouri, gifted WWF; Big Trouble on Hog’s Back helped Wounded Warriors; and her other works with Xibris aided animal charities across the world. She was widely published in magazines under pen names in the late ’70s and won contests with her teachers’ help. Writing has been her passion and solace. Now with her love, Charles, at her side, she reaches out to those who hurt, need to heal, survive, move on, and grow past life that no longer work. Living in Dayton, Ohio, she writes for adults and children who need to laugh at lives that may not always seem funny. With a freshly minted PhD, she soars into the stratosphere to entertain and enlighten. A mother and grandmother, she sees life as a challenge, a tunnel where that light is no roaring train but an opportunity. To aspiring authors, write on, publish, or perish!

Winner of the 2020 Sarah A. Whaley Book Prize from the National Women's Studies Association Putting Their Hands on Race offers an important labor history of 19th and early 20th century Irish immigrant and US southern Black migrant domestic workers. Drawing on a range of archival sources, this intersectional study explores how these women were significant to the racial labor and citizenship politics of their time. Their migrations to northeastern cities challenged racial hierarchies and formations. Southern Black migrant women resisted the gendered racism of domestic service, and Irish immigrant women strove to expand whiteness to position themselves as deserving of labor rights. On the racially fractious terrain of labor, Black women and Irish immigrant women, including Victoria Earle Matthews, the “Irish Rambler”, Leonora Barry, and Anna Julia Cooper, gathered data, wrote letters and speeches, marched, protested, engaged in private acts of resistance in the workplace, and created women’s institutions and organizations to assert domestic workers’ right to living wages and protection.

This book explores the character and contours of the Asian Space Powers. At present, Asian states like China, Japan and India are found investing in space technologies with analogous social and scientific and probably with divergent military intents. Other Asian states like Israel, South Korea and Malaysia are also making investments in the space arena. States like Iran and North Korea are faulted for using space launches as a demonstrative tool to achieve strategic objectives. This work examines this entire maze of activities to unearth where these states are making these investments to accomplish their state-specific goal or are they also trying to surpass each other by engaging in competition. Explaining why and how these states are making investments towards achieving their socio-economic and strategic mandate this book infers that the possibility of Asian Space Race exists but is presently fairly diminutive.

In the Hands of Strangers is a collection of sixty-seven documents by writers and witnesses from the past, both black and white, that offer perspectives on the trade and movement of slaves. Many elucidate the long-standing discord between North and South over the issue of slavery. Documents are divided into three parts that cover the African slave trade, the internal U.S. slave trade, and the series of conflicts and crises that led to the Civil War. They cover a variety of topics including the forced transport of slaves throughout East Coast and Gulf Coast states, buying and selling of slaves, increasingly contentious debates over the legitimacy of slavery, and effects of the breakup of families. The volume concludes with a brilliant essay by Frederick Douglass that asks the question: &"What shall be done with the Negro?&"
