Here is how you can support an author and libraries: Go to your library and ask for my latest book. If they don't have it look perplexed. "What? You don't have Teri's latest book?" See if they'll order it.

If you check out a few of my books that helps keep them on the shelves.

(I am always embarrassed when books come out because I think they are priced too high at first. A the same time, I like to announce a new book.)

@Teri_Kanefield Speaking as a librarian: Libraries want to get the books that people want! Please ask for the books you want if you don’t see them! 💜💜📖📚

Just finished “Devil in the Grove: Thurgood Marshall, the Groveland Boys, and the Dawn of a New America”

Learned a lot about the role of the NAACP in criminal cases in the Jim Crow South. So much bravery in the face of klan violence and systemized dehumanization. Will definitely be seeking out biographies of Thurgood Marshall soon.

Just finished Kris Manjapra’s “Black Ghost of Empire: The Long Death of Slavery and the Failure of Emancipation”

Fascinating and heartbreaking analysis of how #emancipation has always been a means of continuing slavery while pretending to eliminate it (via “indenture periods” and reparations to slavers for “property lost”) and how to move past this #history for a more #humane world

@bookstodon another

“Certainly, the focus on the long trajectory of slavery in the American South is a convenient narrative, allowing mainstream publics to disavow the active forms of enslavement, and the widespread social and political complicity, of Northern society. For contemporary Northerners, to forget about the North's involvement is also to shirk any need to take responsibility.”

@bookstodon some of my favorite

“Reparative justice demands ways of retelling the past that detect the voices previously consigned to the archival void; and of rewriting history in ways that matter to those voices and that make those voices matter to us”

Just finished “How to Hide an Empire,” by Daniel Immerwahl

I’m often surprised by how much I don’t know, but this #book really astonished me with my own ignorance. I’m embarrassed to say how little I knew of US colonialism, territories, and global military bases

Immerwahl explains the post WWII #decolonization / #recolonization as a product of technological innovation in a clear (and very readable) way. Highly recommend!

Any N.K. Jemisin fans who haven’t read this short story collection, I highly recommend it!

In the introduction, she discusses her initial reluctance to write short stories, and how she came to see the value, as both art and a place to explore what becomes longer fiction. (It’s hard to miss the beginnings of some of her later work peeking through these pieces!)

Anyway, it’s great! 💜

Problem: I need bookcases, but I can’t seem to find the motivation to go out and get some or learn how to make them

Proposed solution: Just keep buying more books until it becomes urgent and forces me to act

Evaluation: I’m a super genius

I’m teaching #archival arrangement and description course next semester. To explain topics and to supply hands-on examples, I’ll have the students create (arrange and describe) a collection of photos of #PancakeTheDog. I’m so excited about this
