Current Authors Prospective Authors The University of Virginia Press grieves at the loss of yet another valued life taken on a street corner, in a church, in a dangerous factory, in a routine traffic stop, or along a rural desolate road. We stand in solidarity with the peaceful protestors. We amplify their calls to remember those lost unjustly, to reclaim humanity and fairness, and to remain steadfast and committed to a world where all people are visible, valued, and have at birth a life of promise no matter color or creed. Books allow us to gain understanding, to measure ourselves against the mirror of the past, and to rewrite the script for change. They show us pain, they act as mirrors, they allow us to see in new ways, they force us to remember, they shed light on reality, and they move us from provocative words to meaningful action. We hope that these six voices can help lead you through that process. Pain—“Racial Hurt and Soul Murder” from African Americans and the Culture of Pain by Debra Walker King Seeing—“Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown, and Creative Productivity" from Bad Men by Howard Rambsy II Mirrors— “The Making of a Racist” from The Making of a Racist by Charles B. Dew Remembering—“Introduction” from Educated in Tyranny—Slavery at Thomas Jefferson’s University by Maurie D. McInnis and Louis Nelson (eds.) Reality—"From Researching the Past to Reimagining the Future: Locating Carceral Crisis and the Key to its End, in the Long Twentieth Century" by Heather Ann Thompson in The Punitive Turn: New Approaches to Race and Incarceration, Deborah E. McDowell, Claudrena n. Harold, and Juan Battle (Eds.) Action and Light—“Goodness—Altruism and the Literary Imagination. 2012 Ingersoll Lecture by Toni Morrison in Toni Morrison—Goodness and the Literary Imagination, David Carrasco, Stephanie Paulsell, and Mara Willard (eds.)
