Martin R. Delany's Blake (1859, 1861-1862) is one of the most important African American--and indeed American--works of fiction of the nineteenth century. It tells the story of Henry Blake's escape from a southern plantation and his subsequent travels across the United States, into Canada, and to Africa and Cuba. His mission is to unite the black populations of the American Atlantic regions, both free and slave, in the struggle for freedom, whether through insurrection or through emigration and the creation of an independent black state. Blake is a rhetorical masterpiece, all the more strange and mysterious for remaining incomplete, breaking off before its final scene.

This edition of Blake, prepared by textual scholar Jerome McGann, offers the first correct printing of the work in book form. It establishes an accurate text, supplies contextual notes and commentaries, and presents an authoritative account of the work's composition and publication history. In a lively introduction, McGann argues that Delany employs the resources of fiction to develop a critical account of the interconnected structure of racist power as it operated throughout the American Atlantic. He likens Blake to Upton Sinclair's The Jungle, in its willful determination to transform a living and terrible present.

Blake; or, The Huts of America: A Corrected Edition will be used in undergraduate and graduate classes on the history of African American fiction, on the history of the American novel, and on black cultural studies. General readers will welcome as well the first reliable edition of Delany's fiction.

Favorites!

Iโ€™m not a sunglasses person by any means. I only ever bought the cheap $5 sunglasses for years cause I didnโ€™t care to wear them anyway and I never liked how they looked on me. THESE HOWEVER. Jaw dropped. I love them. I wear them everywhere. I care for them and clean them like they are my child. They are the best investment into sunglasses I have ever made.

Beautiful and comfortable Coach aviators!
Color: Shiny Light Gold, Lens Width: 57 Millimeters
Beautiful! I loved how they looked in the virtual try-on and they are even better in person. Aviator sunglasses are my favorite and these take it to the next level. They are classic and never go out of style. The size is perfect. The gradient brown is very nice and provides great sun protection and the frames are beautiful. The Coach logo is stunning. But even better is the comfort. The frame is just the right weight and they are comfortable for long periods. They came nicely packaged in a very nice Coach case. I am very pleased with this purchase.
