SUMMARY:NC Reads Book Discussion: Night Magic
DESCRIPTION:North Carolina Reads is North Carolina Humanities’ award-winning\, statewide book club! North Carolina Reads annually features five books that explore issues of racial\, social\, and gender equity and the history and culture of North Carolina. All featured books pose critical questions about how North Carolinians view their personal roles in helping to promote and form a more just and inclusive society.  Learn more about the book selections here. \nNight Magic: Adventures Among Glowworms\, Moon Gardens\, and Other Marvels of the Dark by Leigh Ann Henion\nNonfiction. Night Magic is a glorious celebration of the dark! new York Times bestselling nature writer Leigh Ann Henion makes the case for embracing night as a profoundly beautiful part of the world we inhabit – and she invites us to leave our well-lit homes and step outside. It turns out we don’t have to go far to find marvels: We are surrounded by animals that rise witht he moon\, gigantic moths\, and nocturnal blooms that reveal themselves\, incrementally\, as light fades. In her quest to know night with greater intimacy\, Henion travels through forests alight with bioluminescent mushrooms and mountain valleys teeming with migratory salamanders. She ventures into the dark alongside naturalists\, biologists\, primitive-skills experts\, and others who’ve dedicated their lives to cultivating relationships with darkness and the creatures who depend on it. In this age of increasing artificial light\, Night Magic is an invitation to focus on the biodiversity that surrounds us. We do not need to stargaze into the distant cosmos or to dive into the depths of oceans to find awe in the dark—when we reclaim night\, dazzling wonders can be found in our own backyards. \nRegistration is required to join our discussion of Night Magic. Registration is open and books are available upon request starting July 1st at 9:30 a.m. \nNC Humanities’ virtual book event (held June 23rd) featuring author Leigh Ann Henion can be viewed here.

SUMMARY:NC Reads Book Discussion: The Devil's Done Come Back
DESCRIPTION:North Carolina Reads is North Carolina Humanities’ award-winning\, statewide book club! North Carolina Reads annually features five books that explore issues of racial\, social\, and gender equity and the history and culture of North Carolina. All featured books pose critical questions about how North Carolinians view their personal roles in helping to promote and form a more just and inclusive society.  Learn more about the book selections here. \nThe Devil’s Done Come Back edited by Ed Southern\nFiction. North Carolina ain’t what it once was: forests and fields have given way to suburbs and vacation homes\, textile mills to high tech\, tobacco farms to tourism. That doesn’t mean\, though\, that the ghosts of the Old North State have gone away. In this anthology\, readers might glimpse some of the ghostly apparitions\, headless fiends\, and creepy hollers they heard about around their childhood campfires. Now\, fifteen of the state’s finest contemporary prose writers and poets have reimagined these stories—bringing us fresh tales that are bound to scare the living daylights out of us all over again. Contributors include: Michele Tracy Berger on the ghosts of the Great Dismal Swamp\, Wiley Cash (and his daughters) on the Maco Light\, Annette Saunooke Clapsaddle on the Raven Mockers\, Tyree Daye on family hauntings\, Jeremy B. Jones on the phantasms of Chimney Rock\, Ed Southern on the Jack Tales and the Devil’s Tramping Ground\, Ross White on the Little Red Man of Old Salem\, and many more. The Devil’s Done Come Back reclaims these old ghost tales as living stories\, told and re-told to frighten and delight. \nRegistration is required to join our discussion of The Devil’s Done Come Back. Books are available upon request starting August 3rd. \nWatch NC Humanities’ recorded book event with author Ed Southern and folklorist Sarah Bryan in a conversation moderated by Beth Stevenson.

SUMMARY:NC Reads Book Discussion: Daughters of Green Mountain Gap
DESCRIPTION:North Carolina Reads is North Carolina Humanities’ award-winning\, statewide book club! North Carolina Reads annually features five books that explore issues of racial\, social\, and gender equity and the history and culture of North Carolina. All featured books pose critical questions about how North Carolinians view their personal roles in helping to promote and form a more just and inclusive society.  Learn more about the book selections here. \nDaughters of Green Mountain Gap by Teri M. Brown\nFiction. An Appalachian granny woman. A daughter on a crusade. A granddaughter caught between the two. Maggie McCoury\, a generational healer woman\, relies on family traditions\, folklore\, and beliefs gleaned from a local Cherokee tribe. Her daughter\, Carrie Ann\, believes her university training holds the answers. As they clash over the use of roots\, herbs\, and a dash of mountain magic versus the medicine available in the town’s apothecary\, Josie Mae doesn’t know whom to follow. But what happens when neither family traditions nor science can save the ones you love most? Daughters of Green Mountain Gap weaves a compelling tale of Maggie\, Carrie Ann\, and Josie Mae\, three generations of remarkable North Carolina women living at the turn of the\ntwentieth century\, shedding light on racism\, fear of change\, loss of traditions\, and the intricate dynamics within a family. Author Teri M. Brown skillfully navigates the complexities of their lives\, revealing that some questions are not as easy to answer as one might think. \nRegistration is required to join our discussion of Daughters of Green Mountain Gap. Books are available upon request starting September 1st. \nWatch NC Humanities’ recorded book event with author Teri M. Brown and historian Dr. Jessie Wilkerson in a conversation moderated by Dr. Rebecca Godwin.

SUMMARY:NC Reads Book Discussion: Morningside
DESCRIPTION:North Carolina Reads is North Carolina Humanities’ award-winning\, statewide book club! North Carolina Reads annually features five books that explore issues of racial\, social\, and gender equity and the history and culture of North Carolina. All featured books pose critical questions about how North Carolinians view their personal roles in helping to promote and form a more just and inclusive society.  Learn more about the book selections here. \nMorningside: The 1979 Greensboro Massacre and the Struggle for an American City’s Soul by Aran Shetterly\nNonfiction. On November 3\, 1979\, as activist Nelson Johnson assembled people for a march adjacent to Morningside Homes in Greensboro\, North Carolina\, gunshots rang out. A caravan of Klansmen and Neo-Nazis sped from the scene\, leaving behind five dead. Known as the “Greensboro Massacre\,” the event and its aftermath encapsulate the racial conflict\, economic anxiety\, clash of ideologies\, and toxic mix of corruption and conspiracy that roiled American democracy then—and threaten it today. In 88 seconds\, one Southern city shattered over irreconcilable visions of America’s past and future. When the shooters are acquitted in the courts\, Reverend Johnson\, his wife Joyce\, and their allies\, at odds with the police and the Greensboro establishment\, sought alternative forms of justice. As the Johnsons rebuilt their lives after 1979\, they found inspiration in Nelson Mandela’s post-apartheid Truth and Reconciliation Commission and Martin Luther King Jr’s concept of Beloved Community and insist that only by facing history’s hardest truths can healing come to the city they refuse to give up on. This intimate\, deeply researched\, and heart-stopping account draws upon survivor interviews\, court documents\, and the files from one of the largest investigations in FBI history. The persistent mysteries of the case touch deep cultural insecurities and contradictions about race and class. A quintessentially American story\, Morningside explores the courage required to make change and the evolving pursuit of a more inclusive and equal future. \nRegistration is required to join our discussion of Morningside. Books are available upon request starting October 1st. \nWatch NC Humanities’ virtual book event with author Aran Shetterly and historian Dr. Ajamu Dillahunt-Holloway in a conversation moderated by Melissa Giblin.

SUMMARY:NC Reads Book Discussion: The Caretaker
DESCRIPTION:North Carolina Reads is North Carolina Humanities’ award-winning\, statewide book club! North Carolina Reads annually features five books that explore issues of racial\, social\, and gender equity and the history and culture of North Carolina. All featured books pose critical questions about how North Carolinians view their personal roles in helping to promote and form a more just and inclusive society.  Learn more about the book selections here. \nThe Caretaker by Ron Rash\nFiction. It’s 1951 in Blowing Rock\, North Carolina. Blackburn Gant\, his life irrevocably altered by a childhood case of polio\, seems condemned to spend his life among the dead as the sole caretaker of a hilltop cemetery. It suits his withdrawn personality\, and the inexplicable occurrences that happen from time to time rattle him less than interaction with the living. But when his best and only friend\, the kind but impulsive Jacob Hampton\, is conscripted to serve overseas\, Blackburn is charged with caring for Jacob’s wife\, Naomi\, as well. Sixteen-year-old Naomi Clarke is an outcast in Blowing Rock\, an outsider\, poor and uneducated\, who works as a seasonal maid in the town’s most elegant hotel. When Naomi eloped with Jacob a few months after her arrival\, the marriage scandalized the community\, most of all his wealthy parents who disinherited him. Shunned by the townsfolk for their differences and equally fearful that Jacob may never come home\, Blackburn and Naomi grow closer and closer until a shattering development derails numerous lives.\nA tender examination of male friendship and rivalry as well as a riveting\, page-turning novel of familial devotion\, The Caretaker brilliantly depicts the human capacity for delusion and destruction all too often justified as acts of love. \nRegistration is required to join our discussion of The Caretaker. Books are available upon request starting November 2nd. \nWatch NC Humanities’ virtual book event (live event May 27th) with author Ron Rash.
