Three years after the publication of his much-heralded, Pulitzer
Prize-winning novel, "The Known World," Edward P. Jones returned
with an elegiac, luminous masterpiece, "All Aunt Hagar's Children."
In these fourteen sweeping and sublime stories, Jones resurrects
the minor characters in his first award-winning story collection,
"Lost in the City." The result is vintage Jones: powerful,
magisterial tales that showcase his ability to probe the
complexities and tenaciousness of the human spirit.
"All Aunt Hagar's Children" is filled with people who call
Washington, D.C., home. Yet it is the city's ordinary citizens, not
its power brokers, who most concern Jones. Here, everyday people
who thought the values of the South would sustain them in the North
find "that the cohesion born and nurtured in the south would be but
memory in less than two generations."

America’s status as the most powerful, productive, and prosperous
nation on the globe. Unfortunately, those days are long gone. Today
from kindergarten through 12th grade in the government school
system, teaching reading, writing, and math have been supplanted by
Marxist indoctrination. Our colleges and universities have become

Marxist activists. This book equips every American to turn this
travesty around.

It was the final speech of a long day, August 28, 1963, when
hundreds of thousands gathered on the Mall for the March on
Washington for Jobs and Freedom. In a resounding cadence, Martin
Luther King Jr. lifted the crowd when he told of his dream that all
Americans would join together to realize the founding ideal of
equality. The power of the speech created an enduring symbol of the
march and the larger civil rights movement. King s speech still
inspires us fifty years later, but its very power has also narrowed
our understanding of the march. In this insightful history, William
P. Jones restores the march to its full significance.
The opening speech of the day was delivered by the leader of the
march, the great trade unionist A. Philip Randolph, who first
called for a march on Washington in 1941 to press for equal
opportunity in employment and the armed forces. To the crowd that
stretched more than a mile before him, Randolph called for an end
to segregation and a living wage for every American. Equal access
to accommodations and services would mean little to people, white
and black, who could not afford them. Randolph s egalitarian vision
of economic and social citizenship is the strong thread running
through the full history of the March on Washington Movement. It
was a movement of sustained grassroots organizing, linked locally
to women s groups, unions, and churches across the country. Jones s
fresh, compelling history delivers a new understanding of this
emblematic event and the broader civil rights movement it
propelled."

Spirit and Capital in an Age of Inequality brings together a
diverse group of scholars, activists and public intellectuals to
consider one of the most pressing issues of our time: increasing
inequalities of income and wealth that grate against justice and
erode the bonds that hold society together. The contributors think
through different religious traditions to understand and address
inequality. They make practical proposals in relation to concrete
situations like mass incarceration and sweatshops. They also
explore the inner experience of life in a society marked by
inequality, tracing the contours of stress, hopelessness and a
restless lack of contentment. This book honors the work of Jon P.
Gunnemann, who has been a leading scholar at the intersections of
religion and economics. Spirit and Capital in an Age of Inequality
will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students and
scholars of religion and economics. It will be useful to
policy-makers and activists seeking a more thorough understanding
of the role of religion and theology in public life.
