(March 2005) The author, Dennis Brutus, still has a deep concern and remains actively involved in the struggles of human and cultural rights. His current interests lie in African Literature, African Politics, Africa in the new Global order and Poetry and creative writing. BOOK EXCERPT: Somehow we survive and tenderness, frustrated, does not wither. Investigating searchlights rake our naked unprotected contours; over our heads the monolithic decalogue of fascist prohibition glowers and teeters for a catastrophic fall; boots club the peeling door.

Poetry. African American Studies. Women's Studies. BRIEF EVIDENCE OF HEAVEN: POEMS FROM THE LIFE OF ANNA MURRAY DOUGLASS by M. Nzadi Keita imagines how free-born, illiterate Anna Murray Douglass, wife to Frederick Douglass, the most vibrant black writer/orator of the 19th century, saw the world as an independent woman, mother, and an abolitionist in her own right. Poet Sonia Sanchez wrote the introduction. "BRIEF EVIDENCE OF HEAVEN…a poetic meditation on biography…joins a new tradition of African American poetry. Place Keita's name alongside A. Van Jordan, Marilyn Nelson, Brenda Marie Osbey and Nathasha Trethewey. These talented poets link history to rivers and dreams."—E. Ethelbert Miller, critic and author of The Fifth Inning "This is a history deftly crafted, enhanced by the formidable skills of a poet who floods this necessary story with light."—Patricia Smith, author of BLOOD DAZZLER (Coffee House Press, 2008)

History & Criticism

Is there an essential connection between the individual natures of the sons of Jacob and the territory that each of the twelve tribes later called its own? In this fascinating and thought-provoking second edition to her popular book, noted lecturer and tour guide Tamar Weissman takes an original look at the relationship between the forebears of the tribes and the territorial allotments, or nahalot, granted each one. Tribal Lands: The Twelve Tribes of Israel in Their Ancestral Territories explores the design to land apportionment. Having masterfully canvased a wealth of source material, Weissman presents a comprehensive picture of the individual personalities of the twelve tribes of Israel. She then discusses the natural features of their territories, suggesting connections between the tribe and its inheritance. The description of every nahalah is followed by a detailed, modern-day tour itinerary, allowing the reader the rewarding adventure of encountering the land on his or her own. With an extensive and riveting new foreword by Rabbanit Shani Taragin, Tribal Lands presents a new way of thinking about - and experiencing - the interplay of text and land. Many tour Israel with Bible in hand, but to tour with a deeper understanding of tribal character, and how that character was realized by the contours of its lands, is a rich experience for the serious Bible student. Rise, and walk the land - not just casually, to see the sites, but to sense, and even to participate in, the unfolding of tribal destiny within the twelve nahalot.
