Martin R. Delany's Blake (1859, 1861-1862) is one of the most important African American--and indeed American--works of fiction of the nineteenth century. It tells the story of Henry Blake's escape from a southern plantation and his subsequent travels across the United States, into Canada, and to Africa and Cuba. His mission is to unite the black populations of the American Atlantic regions, both free and slave, in the struggle for freedom, whether through insurrection or through emigration and the creation of an independent black state. Blake is a rhetorical masterpiece, all the more strange and mysterious for remaining incomplete, breaking off before its final scene.

This edition of Blake, prepared by textual scholar Jerome McGann, offers the first correct printing of the work in book form. It establishes an accurate text, supplies contextual notes and commentaries, and presents an authoritative account of the work's composition and publication history. In a lively introduction, McGann argues that Delany employs the resources of fiction to develop a critical account of the interconnected structure of racist power as it operated throughout the American Atlantic. He likens Blake to Upton Sinclair's The Jungle, in its willful determination to transform a living and terrible present.

Blake; or, The Huts of America: A Corrected Edition will be used in undergraduate and graduate classes on the history of African American fiction, on the history of the American novel, and on black cultural studies. General readers will welcome as well the first reliable edition of Delany's fiction.

Smells incredible and leaves skin silky smooth!
Scent: Pomegranate & Hibiscus, Size: 30.6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Dove never disappoints, and this Rejuvenate formula is amazing. The scent is beautifully refreshing and fills the whole shower. The pump bottle makes it so convenient to use without fumbling around with a wet cap. It lathers up incredibly rich and creamy, and it actually leaves your skin feeling hydrated and silky smooth instead of dried out. A household staple that everyone loves!

Wow
Scent: Peach, Size: 30.6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This body wash smells amazing—light, fresh, and slightly sweet without being overwhelming. The white peach scent feels clean and relaxing, almost like a subtle spa vibe. It lathers well and leaves my skin feeling soft, smooth, and hydrated, not dry or tight. I also love that the scent lingers just enough after showering. Definitely a great everyday body wash if you want something gentle, moisturizing, and beautifully scented. Would repurchase!
