Ruth’s gaze stays on Pestilence for a long time, moving from his bow and quiver to his crown, before settling on his face. Age has made her soft and plump, but there’s a certain quiet strength to her.

Just when I thought we were fresh out of horrors, another one comes. We crashed the house of someone’s grandma. She peers over them at us, the book in her hands entirely forgotten. Reclining on the couch next to it is an old woman, her white hair cropped close to her head, her spectacles perched low on her nose.

But a woman’s plans are no match for the crushing power of Stalin’s repressive Soviet state.

Spanning nearly a century, from 1930s Siberia to contemporary Brighton Beach, a page turning, epic family saga centering on three generations of women in one Russian Jewish family-each striving to break free of fate and history, each yearning for love and personal fulfillment-and how the consequences of their choices ripple through time. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() An essay titled "The Real History of Slavery" presents a jolting re-examination of that tragic institution and the narrow and distorted way it is too often seen today. It presents eye-opening insights into the historical development of the ghetto culture that is today wrongly seen as a unique black identity-a culture cheered on toward self-destruction by white liberals who consider themselves "friends" of blacks. In a series of long essays, this book presents an in-depth look at key beliefs behind many mistaken and dangerous actions, policies, and trends. Plainly written, powerfully reasoned, and backed with a startling array of documented facts, Black Rednecks and White Liberals takes on not only the trendy intellectuals of our times but also such historic interpreters of American life as Alexis de Tocqueville and Frederick Law Olmsted. This explosive new book challenges many of the long-prevailing assumptions about blacks, about Jews, about Germans, about slavery, and about education. ![]() ![]() ![]() VisitExhibitionsProgramsLibraryEducationExploreShop Join & Give New Wing Host an Event Dine Admission TicketsImage Info.
