You Must Set Forth at Dawn by Wole Soyinka #books #literature #dedication

To all the fallen in our common cause,
and to the surviving, scars and all, clamorous or hidden.
To all my stoically resigned children.
And to my wife, Adefolake, who, during the season of a deadly dictatorship, demoted me from the designation of Visiting Professor to that of Visiting Spouse, but was still left with only an Invisible Spouse as I was swallowed by my study even during visiting hours.

Gerald's Party by Robert Coover #books #literature #dedication

For John Hawkes, who, standing beside me in a dream one night long ago, long before we'd become friends, and remarking upon another author's romanticization of autumn (there seemed to be hundreds of them actually, stooped over, on the endless tree-lined streets before us), observed wistfully: “It's so true, people still do that, you know, count the dead leaves. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, three, four..."

Standing: One Man's Odyssey Though the Turbulent '60s by Ernest McMillan #books #literature #dedication

And through their respective journeys
May you forever be a light unto yourself

Young and Restless: The Girls Who Sparked America's Revolutions by Mattie Kahn #books #literature #dedication

What wild and unearned luck to have been born to parents who believed that there were no limits to what a girl could do and who once let me shop for a coveted and overpriced Madame Alexander doll in a feverish haze.

I am so grateful on both counts.
This book is dedicated to them.

"And Don't Call Me a Racist!": A Treasury of Quotes on the Past, Present, and Future of the Color Line in America, selected and arranged by Ella Mazel #books #literature #dedication

To Booker T. Washington, from whose autobiography, UP FROM SLAVERY, which I read as a child in the 1920s, I learned the meaning of empathy.

To Paul Robeson, from whose lifelong struggle on behalf of his people and of working people around the world I learned the meaning of the word hero.

To Dean Dixon, from whose frustration over being denied permanent conductorship of a major orchestra in the United States because of his color I learned the meaning of black rage.

To the Joint Veterans' Council of Peekskill, New York, from whose instigation of mob violence to prevent a concert by Paul Robeson (the first of the two 1949 "riots") I learned firsthand the meaning of the fear for one's life that accompanies ugly hatred, racial insults, and physical attack.

To Zola G., the hard-working young black single mother from whose sharing of her history and her dreams I learned the importance of the dignity without which she "would slowly and surely die."

To Eddie Vanderlip, from whose...

Farewell, Ghosts by Nadia Terranova #books #literature #dedication
