Few women in history have suffered as did those in the Reed-Donner Party. In this epic crossing of a continent, they were forced to face almost insurmountable suffering, hardship and tragedy. Beguiled by a false picture of an easy trek to a land of perpetual sunshine and freedom from want and disease, a group of well-to-do families left comfortable homes in Illinois, Missouri and Kentucky in April of 1846. A year later, the last of a horror-haunted remnant of the wagon train staggered or were carried into Sutter's Fort to remake their shattered lives. Beginning with their disastrous turn from the main Oregon-California trail at Little Sandy Creek, tragedy rode with the twenty wagons taking the perilous Hastings' short cut. The party chopped their way through the trackless mountains of Utah; they dragged across the waterless salt flats of the Great Salt Lake, losing cattle and wagons and time. The Nevada desert brought further losses of men, equipment and food. Finally reaching the formidable Sierra Nevada Mountains far too late in the year, they made a last desperate effort to climb over the summit. They were trapped at what became known as Donner Lake by an unseasonable, unrelenting snow storm. They were without shelter or enough food to survive the long winter. LEFT HAND TURN is a story concerning the struggles of three women, Tamsen Donner, 45; Margaret Reed, 32, Mary Ann Graves, 19; and Margaret's two daughters, Virginia, 12, and Patty, 8, and how each reacted to the hardships, suffering, starvation and cannibalism. Taught to comply with decisions made by their - trained to follow, not to lead - they could only fight desperately to survive. Of the party, a little more than half survived. That any survived is the miracle.

Preface by Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham Afterword by Robin D.G. Kelley African American protest and political movements outside the South appear as ancillary and subsequent to the "real" movement in the South, despite the fact that black activism existed

Kelley unearths freedom dreams in this exciting history of renegade intellectuals and artists of the African diaspora in the twentieth century. Focusing on the visions of activists from C. L. R. James to Aime Cesaire and Malcolm X, Kelley writes of the hope that Communism offered, the mindscapes of Surrealism, the transformative potential of radical feminism, and of the four-hundred-year-old dream of reparations for slavery and Jim Crow. From'the preeminent historian of black popular culture' (Cornel West), an inspiring work on the power of imagination to transform society.
