A roman à clef about racism, identity, and bohemian living amidst the tensions and violence of Algerian War-era France, and one of the earliest published accounts of the Paris massacre of 1961. As a teenager, Simeon Brown lost an eye in a racist attack, and this young African American journalist has lived in his native Philadelphia in a state of agonizing tension ever since. After a violent encounter with white sailors, Simeon makes up his mind to move to Paris, known as a safe haven for black artists and intellectuals, and before long he is under the spell of the City of Light, where he can do as he likes and go where he pleases without fear. Through Babe, another black American émigré, he makes new friends, and soon he has fallen in love with a Polish actress who is a concentration camp survivor. At the same time, however, Simeon begins to suspect that Paris is hardly the racial wonderland he imagined: The French government is struggling to suppress the revolution in Algeria, and Algerians are regularly stopped and searched, beaten, and arrested by the French police, while much worse is to come, it will turn out, in response to the protest march of October 1961. Through his friendship with Hossein, an Algerian radical, Simeon realizes that he can no longer remain a passive spectator to French injustice. He must decide where his true loyalties lie.
Or A Voice From The Steerage (1850)
The memoir recounts William Smith's journey as an emigrant from England to the United States in the mid-19th century, detailing the harsh realities of life in the steerage section of the ship. Smith vividly describes the unsanitary conditions, the struggle to find work, and the prejudice he faced as a British immigrant. His reflections provide a poignant insight into the social and economic factors that compelled many to leave their homes in search of a better life. This narrative serves as a significant historical document on early American immigration experiences.
This is story is dedicated to the men and women who respond to releases of hazardous materials in transit. These dedicated individuals aren't hip shooting cowboys that rush in where angels fear to tread. They are professionals that work very methodically and with great care to minimize personal danger before addressing life and environmentally threatening situations. The instances in this story are true; however, the chronology, characters, and locations are fiction. All the descriptions of the incidents were told to me by responders to places like Covington, Tennessee, Reimage River in Wisconsin, and Ozark, Arkansas. During my training sessions in Pueblo, Colorado, many stories, mostly true but some admittedly embellished, were told by many different responders from all major railroads and emergency service organizations.
