Beneath the Blazing Sun
Paperback
(August House Jan. 27, 2006)
, First Edition
This collection of 18 stories serves as both a historical teaching tool and a method for exploring slavery.
From African roots to the present day, scholar and storyteller Rex Ellis animates the African-American experience, weaving the strands of African folklore, early American history, and contemporary interpretations into a rich quilt.
His stories spin a thread from the Windward Coast of West Africa to the shores of Jamestown and beyond. He uses storytelling as both a historical teaching tool and a method for dealing with controversial subjects. Ellis's unique style of storytelling educates, informs, and inspires courage and trust.
