Welcome to Litsy!

I love my job, and these covers! #happynewbookdaytome

Sorry for the glare in the picture, BUT LITTENS, I was so excited and proud to find my editor's copy of this book in my work mailbox as I was headed out of the office tonight. The author worked incredibly hard on this book, and it shows in its remarkable contribution to the history of African American women. You can follow the author on Twitter (@divafeminist). #GoTreva #happynewbookdaytome #ReadUP

I have been waiting for these books to be out for so long!!! LOST IN THE USA is extremely relevant given the recent women's march and continued activist resistance to the current administration, and FOOTBALL AND MANLINESS unfortunately continues to be relevant given the culture of violence among many athletes toward women. #happynewbookdaytome #ReadUP #womenshistorymonth

You guys, this cover! This book looks at pop culture representations of marginalized figures like zombies, prisoners, and queers in shows and movies like Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead, and World War Z. The author then shows how the marginalized are always in precarious financial circumstances, and it isn't until economic hardship hits the white middle class that people pay attention. #ZOMBIES #coverart #happynewbookdaytome #ReadUP

I get a copy of every book I acquire once it is published. This book examines the responses to Booker T. Washington's death, analyzing the many ways both black and white Americans honored or memorialized the great visionary. #HappyNewBookDayToMe #ReadUP #BlackHistoryMonth
