{2026 New Release} Colored People Time : A Case for (Casual) Rebellion by: Manny Fidel
A celebration of tardiness through funny, revealing, and deeply thoughtful essays on the nature of time and collective memory. âBrilliantly argues that after toiling to build this country for free or reduced wages, people of color not only deserve the extra time for themselves, but they should be afforded the opportunity to be late for anything they want.ââEssence (Must-Read Spring Books)

{2026 New Release} Paule Marshall : A Writerâs Life Mary Helen Washington
An elegant biography of a prescient author whose novels portray Black women's experiences across the African diaspora. Growing up in World War II era Brooklyn among West Indian immigrants, Paule Marshall (1929 -2019) was fiercely driven to become a writer, making art from the world she knew, the life she lived, and the world she imagined. Though her novels and stories are understood by scholars as the beginning of contemporary Black feminist literature bridging Harlem Renaissance writers like Zora Neale Hurston to such writers as Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, and Maya Angelou Marshall's legacy is often overlooked.

A layered exploration of the immigrant identity through the voices of multiple Nigerian American characters. The Yoruba word ArĂĄâlúèbĂł (/ah-rah-loo-ay-bow/), as the book tells us, means âan endearing term for a native who has gone abroad, and/or is returningâ or âa person who becomes a foreigner everywhere they go.â In his debut poetry collection, KĂNYIN Olorunnisola showcases the expansiveness of the immigrant experience through the form of the choreopoem, a non-Western style of poetry that incorporates elements of music and theater.
