AMERICAN APARTHEID is the first of three intriguing books written by James Wright that probe into the heart of America's apartheid consciousness. It is about broken promises and old cliques America has made and still purports to make to African Americans and Native Americans. And more importantly, this tome is about how these attitudes are beginning to manifest themselves in the institutional and social systems in this country. James Wright's research, observations and personal commentary show that there are serious perils attacking the core fabric of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for most African Americans that are still not fully understood or accepted by America. Yet, these perils present clear and present dangers whether people live in the inner cities, the suburbs or rural America. Some of the intriguing issues covered in American Apartheid include: ¿ Why do African American women continue to form the foundation of the black family and why do black men continue to be the target of America's aggression and animosity? ¿ Why do African Americans believe that America's criminal justice system poses one of the gravest threats to their right to life, liberty and the pursuit of freedom? ¿ Why is racial hatred against African Americans and Jews still rising in the U.S.A.? ¿ Why is American history so distorted as it relates to blacks and other minorities? ¿ What is the genesis of black self-hatred and how do whites still use certain methods to perpetuate this condition among blacks today?

The Branch Will Not Break is a reflective anthology of poems which evokes its author's upbringing in poverty-stricken Ohio during the 1930s and 1940s.Representing a radical and innovative departure from the more conventional and nature-orientated works of his earlier career, this collection sees James Wright embark on sudden narrative shifts while conjuring evocative imagery full of implication. Often, the poems begin with a description of a person or object - after these initial verses, we find a blossoming of imagery. This collection was the result of years of collaboration Wright enjoyed with fellow poet Robert Bly.Economical with words, Wright's poems are generally short but unfailing in evocation and implication. Some of the shortest, most rhythmic works in this collection carry shades of Eastern poetry such as Haiku. Others declare a raw scene, image and meaning in an appealing and deceptively simple manner. Readers will find pleasure in Wright's gifts, qualitative, intense and imbued with brevity as they often are.This collection formed a fine compliment to the Beat and New York School poetry of the 1950s and early 1960s - isolated geographically from his contemporaries, James Wright's ability gave significance to the Midwest; prior to this collection, modern poets mostly inhabited the east and west coasts of North America.

One of the most admired American poets of his generation, James Wright (1927-80) wrote contemplative, sturdy, and generous poems with an honesty, clarity, and stylistic range matched by very few--then or now. From his Deep Image-inspired lyrics to his Whtimanesque renderings of Neruda, Vallejo, and other Latin American poets, and from his heartfelt reflections on life, love, and loss in his native Ohio to the celebrated prose poems (set frequently in Italy) that marked the end of his important career, Above the River gathers the complete work of a modern master. It also features a moving and insightful introduction by Donald Hall, Wright's longtime friend and colleague.

Based on a large-scale survey, it is found that during the Cultural Revolution masses took part in the movements to either improve their social status or maintain their social positions. In the provinces immersed in class based struggles, there was strong relationship between faction alignment and family background. Nevertheless, in the provinces involved in non-class based sectarian struggles, the association between the two was nil. The social conflict school failed to notice the sectarian internecine fights among rebels while the political process school failed to pay attention to the fundamental social conflicts in China. The book summarizes the lessons learned from the self-destruction of the mass movements and points out pitfalls for the future social movements in China.
