It’s the summer of 2041.

One year earlier, America elected its first Mexican American president. Unemployment is at a record low, the economy is humming, and opportunities are plentiful…but not for everyone. The white population is now in the minority, with some feeling threatened and “surrounded” by the changing demographics; as if they are on the verge of extinction. These folks migrate to the upper northwest of the US to form an unofficial white ethnostate, which is mockingly known as “the Caucasian Caliphate.”

Some feel the heat of a second Civil War simmering.

A controversial political talk show host named Gerry Baines makes a proclamation about God’s intervention to cure America’s woes via an existential breaking point, in the form of a major, but unknown, event. One week later, on August 8th, three African slave ships appear out of thin air in Kips Bay, between NY and NJ.

A special team, led by Secretary of State Lucy Fender (in town for a UN Conference), is recruited to investigate the mysterious appearance of the ships. The team includes a quantum physicist named Kiki Bishop, a university professor named Joseph Healey, and his friend and colleague, Maxmilian Oroko—an African language specialist and historian.

Onorede Madaki is a warrior from the Krou tribe in 17th Century Africa. He embarks on what his village elders believe is an insane mission: to seek out and be purposefully captured by the “pale face ghosts” invading their land and rumored to abduct people from neighboring tribes for nefarious, and possibly cannibalistic horrors. While imprisoned on a slave ship during its Middle Passage, he and two of his tribesmen wind up on one of the ships caught in the time travel event.

Meanwhile, in the 27th Century, a mysterious man has accomplished the impossible; but at what cost?

Part satire, part historical drama, and spanning over thousands of years, this is a story that asks the question... “If you could go back in time, could you prevent African slavery?”

Book excerpt: Historians have examined the American Civil War and its aftermath for more than a century, yet little work has situated this important era in a global context. Contributors to this volume broaden the scope of Reconstruction by viewing it not as an insular process but as an international phenomenon. Here, three leading international scholars explore how emancipation, nationhood and nationalism, and the spread of market capitalism—issues central to the period in the United States—were interwoven with global patterns of political, social, and economic change. Rafael Marquese explores the integrated trajectories of slavery in the United States and Brazil, tracing the connections, interactions, and transformations of the coffee and cotton economies in both countries. Don Doyle discusses how Secretary of State William Seward eliminated a possible Confederate revival and hostile European presence supported by Mexico’s Maximilian regime. Edward Rugemer reconsiders how Jamaica’s Morant Bay Rebellion influenced Reconstruction by demonstrating that emancipation without citizenship, political rights, or economic opportunities can have violent consequences. This volume suggests new discussions about how the Civil War reshaped the United States’s relationship to the world and how large-scale international developments influenced the country’s transition from slavery to freedom. A volume in the series Frontiers of the American South, edited by William A. Link Contributors: William A. Link | Don H. Doyle | Rafael Marquese | Edward Rugemer

Book excerpt: Drawing on vital new evidence, a top historian dramatically reinterprets the life and reign of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, ruler of the world's first transatlantic empire "Masterly."--William Anthony Hay, Wall Street Journal "Seldom does one find a work of such profound scholarship delivered in such elegant and engaging prose. Drawing deftly on an astonishing volume of documentary evidence, Parker has produced a masterpiece: an epic, detailed and vivid life of this complex man and his impossibly large empire."--Susannah Lipscomb, Financial Times Selected as a book of the year (2020) by Simon Sebag Montefiore in Aspects of History magazine The life of Emperor Charles V (1500-1558), ruler of Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, and much of Italy and Central and South America, has long intrigued biographers. But the elusive nature of the man (despite an abundance of documentation), his relentless travel and the control of his own image, together with the complexity of governing the world's first transatlantic empire, complicate the task. Geoffrey Parker, one of the world's leading historians of early modern Europe, has examined the surviving written sources in Dutch, French, German, Italian, Latin, and Spanish, as well as visual and material evidence. He explores the crucial decisions that created and preserved this vast empire, analyzes Charles's achievements within the context of both personal and structural factors, and scrutinizes the intimate details of the ruler's life for clues to his character and inclinations. The result is a unique biography that interrogates every dimension of Charles's reign and views the world through the emperor's own eyes.
