Printed as handbills and broadsides, the image Cheryl Finley has termed the "slave ship icon" was easily reproduced, and by the end of the eighteenth century it was circulating by the tens of thousands around the Atlantic rim. First published by British abolitionists in 1788, it exposed this widespread commercial practice for what it really was-shocking, immoral, barbaric, unimaginable. How an eighteenth-century engraving of a slave ship became a cultural icon of Black resistance, identity, and remembrance One of the most iconic images of slavery is a schematic wood engraving depicting the human cargo hold of a slave ship. ![]() ![]() "From the author of The Five Stages of Andrew Brawley comes a brand-new novel about a teenage boy who must decide whether or not the world is worth saving.

I found Connie's time traveling to be rather tedious. She frequently travels to the future to learn about Luciente's world, which is an anti-capitalist, eco-feminist utopia. Connie learns that her empathy and ability to connect with people gives her the ability to time travel. While all of this is going on in her daily life, she is visited by Luciente, a woman from the future. For that, she is unjustly put in a horrible mental institution where she is kept on heavy sedatives and subjected to medical experiments.

She lives alone (she has been twice widowed, and her daughter has been taken away by Child Protection Services).

The book was the third published by Davies, having been preceded by The Soul's Destroyer (1905) and New Poems (1907). Shaw was also instrumental in keeping the unusual title of the book, of which Davies himself was unsure, and which later proved to be controversial with some reviewers. George Bernard Shaw had become interested in Davies, a literary unknown at the time, and had agreed to write a preface for the book, largely through the concerted efforts of his wife Charlotte.
