Characters spotlighted in one story reappear in another, providing a stunning testament to the enduring resilience of Black people as they navigate the "post-racial" period so vividly portrayed."--Back cover. 520 $a A collection of short stories captures powerful and poignant moments in everyday lives of African American families, friends, and neighbors in the years spanning from the beginning of the Clinton presidency to the eve of Barack Obama's election. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Social conditions $v Fiction. 650 0 $a African Americans $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 655 0 $a Short stories. 700 12 $a Hubbard, Ladee. $t Flip lady. 700 12 $a Hubbard, Ladee. $t Henry. 700 12 $a Hubbard, Ladee. $t Bitch. 700 12 $a Hubbard, Ladee. $t There he go. 700 12 $a Hubbard, Ladee. $t False cognates. 700 12 $a Hubbard, Ladee. $t Yams. 700 12 $a Hubbard, Ladee. $t Houston and the blinking what. 700 12 $a Hubbard, Ladee. $t Five people who crave sauce. 700 12 $a Hubbard, Ladee. $t Night nurses. 700 12 $a Hubbard, Ladee. $t Trash. 941 $a 2 945 $a lpt 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20221006011429.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20220630014324.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BA5E1C2AF83C11EC97B2B25526ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b IWRInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
