Charles van Onselen clinically reconstructs the world of the night trains, which were run as a partnership between the mining houses and the railways. By tracing the up and down rail journeys undertaken by black migrants over half a century it is possible to discern how racial thinking, expressed logistically, reflected South Africa’s evolving systems of segregation and apartheid. Mirroring the brutal logic of industrial capitalism, this was a system of transport designed to maximise profit at the expense of the health, well-being and even the lives of those it conveyed.

Let My People Flow makes a bold but careful claim: God has always made sure His people could hear His voice—even when religious leaders failed. Drawing from Isaiah 28, Scripture, history, Black music, and hip hop culture, Cellus Hamilton explores how God often speaks through what the religious establishment considers strange, foreign, or unworthy.

In 1841, a Black man arrived in California at the helm of a ship, carrying ambition and a secret: William Leidesdorff. Within a few years he became an American diplomat and civic leader who helped found San Francisco on a stretch of windswept sand dunes, building one of the largest fortunes in California. When he died in 1848, he left a fiercely contested estate, and the fight over his legacy continues. Born in the Danish Caribbean to a Danish father and an Afro-Caribbean mother, Leidesdorff built a record so vast it obscured his origins.

Before hip-hop became a global industry, it was an act of survival. Born in abandoned neighborhoods and powered by borrowed electricity, hip-hop transformed forgotten records into living history. DJs did not create new sounds from silence—they excavated them from the past. Funk breaks, jazz fragments, soul shouts, and outlawed rhythms were cut, looped, and reborn as something entirely new.

La definizione di saggio per le opere non narrative di Baldwin è certamente impropria. Baldwin è un artista, prima di essere un intellettuale, e il suo appassionante confronto con la realtà americana è opera di uno scrittore. Fanno da legame le immagini, le intuizioni, le facce e la sequenza di emozioni e impressioni, piuttosto che l’organizzazione delle idee, perché Baldwin è sempre più impegnato, nei saggi come nei romanzi, a raccontare una storia. Pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1963, La prossima volta il fuoco di James Baldwin colpisce dritto al cuore della cosiddetta “questione nera”.
