Harper1stYear.com BOOKS FOR THE FIRST-YEAR STUDENT FIRST-YEAR FAVORITES Dear America: FIRST-YEAR FAVORITES Notes of an Undocumented Citizen Jose Antonio Vargas

Dear America: Notes of an Undocumented Citizen is an urgent, provocative and deeply personal account from Jose Antonio Vargas, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who happens to be one of the most well-known undocumented immigrants in the United States. Born in the Philippines and brought to the U.S. illegally as a 12-year-old, Vargas hid in plain-sight for years, writing for some of the most prestigious news organizations in the country (The Washington Post, The New Yorker) while lying about where he came from and how he got here. After publicly admitting his undocumented status—risking his career and personal safety—Vargas challenged the definition of what it means to be an American and advocated for the human rights of immigrants and migrants during the largest global movement of people in modern history. Both a letter to America and a window into Vargas’s America, this book is a transformative argument about migration and citizenship, and an intimate, searing exploration on what it means to be home when the country you call your home doesn’t consider you one of its own. “This riveting, courageous memoir ought to be mandatory reading for every American. The personal trauma of living in this country as someone deemed “illegal”—without rights or without the benefit of compassion or concern from the government you consider your own—is typically lost in heated policy debates. The pressing question that emerges from these pages isn’t whether Jose deserves to be a citizen but whether we, as a nation, deserve the bravery and generosity of spirit that he offers us with an open heart and mind.” —Michelle Alexander, New York Times bestselling author of The New Jim Crow

Jose Antonio Vargas is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Emmy-nominated filmmaker, and Tony-nominated producer. His work has appeared internationally in Time magazine, as well as in the San Francisco Chronicle, The New Yorker,and the Washington Post. In 2014, he received the Freedom to Write Award from PEN Center USA. A leading voice for the human rights of immigrants, he founded the non-profit media and culture organization Define American, named one of the World’s Most Innovative Companies by Fast Company. In 2019, an elementary school was named after him in his hometown of Mountain View, California.

FIRST-YEAR FAVORITES Hidden Figures: The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Mathematicians Who Helped Win the Space Race Margot Lee Shetterly

Set against the backdrop of the Jim Crow South and the civil rights movement, Hidden Figures is the never-before-told story of NASA’s African-American female mathematicians who played a crucial role in America’s space program—and whose contributions have been unheralded, until now. Before John Glenn orbited the Earth or Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, a group of bright, talented African-American women, known as “colored computers,” calculated the flight paths that would enable these historic achievements. Segregated from their white counterparts by Jim Crow laws, these women helped write the equations that would launch rockets, and astronauts, into space. “Shetterly moves gracefully between the women’s lives and the broader sweep of history. . . . ‘What I wanted was for them to have the grand, sweeping narrative that they deserved,’ she writes, and in this genuinely inspiring book, they finally do.” —Boston Globe Freshman Common Read: Cedar Crest College, University of Houston, SUNY Oneonta, College of William and Mary, University of South Carolina Beaufort, Lafayette College, Palm Beach State College, and more William Morrow Paperbacks: 384 pp.; illustrated. 2017 • 9780062677280 • pb • $17.99 ($21.99/CAN)

The Devil You Know: New A Black Power Manifesto Charles Blow

Drawing on history, political observations and Blow’s personal experience as a Black son of the South, The Devil You Know proposes nothing short of the most audacious power play by Black people in the history of this country, as well as a road map to equality. “When I began work on this book years ago, it sprang out of an epiphany, my coming to see clearly a path forward for Black America that did not require kowtowing before white power structures or playing to white sympathies. At its base, equality is about power: equal access to it, equal treatment AMERICAN LIVES AMERICAN by it and equal control over it. The time is at an end for Black people begging and pleading, marching and chanting, for an equitable stake in that power. The time has come to simply assume it, to use the Constitution itself as the vehicle. I have written this book not as a med- itation on race, not as a protestation, but as a plan.

Wandering in Strange Lands: New A Daughter of the Great Migration Reclaims Her Roots Morgan Jerkins

Bassey Ikpi, a spoken-word poet and mental health advocate, was born in Nigeria in 1976. Four years later her parents packed up their family and moved to Stillwater, Oklahoma. Ikpi’s early years in the United States would come to be defined by the tension of being both African and American; of growing up in poverty; of being a young Black girl in a racist society; and of struggling with bipolar II and anxiety for decades before diagnosis.In this collection, Ikpi grapples with the weight of these identities, and the result is an exploration of the stories we tell ourselves to make sense of who we are— and the ways, as honest as we try to be, each of these stories is also a lie.

Chesapeake Requiem: New in Paperback A Year with the Watermen of Vanishing Tangier Island Earl Swift

Tangier Island, Virginia, is disappearing. It has lost two-thirds of its land since 1850, and still its shoreline retreats by fifteen feet a year—meaning this storied place will likely succumb first among U.S. towns to the effects of climate change. Chesapeake Requiem is an intimate look at the island’s past, present and tenuous future, by an acclaimed journalist who spent much of the past two years living among Tangier’s people, crabbing and oystering with them, and observing their long traditions. What emerges is the poignant tale of a world that has, quite nearly, gone by—and a leading-edge AMERICAN LIVES AMERICAN report on the coming fate of countless coastal communities.

“This is a powerful book. We need a replacement for the tired ‘canaries in a coal mine,’ and sadly ‘fishermen on Tangier Island’ will probably do. Fascinating people, clinging loyally to a fascinating and lovely place, even as the waters rise—Earl Swift’sChesapeake Requiem is a tale of our time, movingly told. Perhaps it will inspire some of us living safe on higher ground to more action on behalf of those at risk.” —Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature Dey Street Books: 448 pp.; index; illustrated. 2020 • 9780062661401 • pb • $17.99 ($21.99/CAN)

The Compton Cowboys: A New Generation of Black Cowboys in America’s Heartland Walter Thompson-Hernandez

To most people, Compton is known as the home of rap greats NWA and Kendrick Lamar and a place of seemingly intractable gang violence. But in 1988, Mayisha Akbar founded The Compton Jr. Posse to provide local youth with a safe alternative to the streets, one that connected them with the rich legacy of Black cowboys in American culture.

GLOBAL ISSUES Beneath the Tamarind Tree: New in Paperback A Story of Courage, Family, and the Lost Schoolgirls of Boko Haram Isha Sesay

In the early morning of April 14, 2014, the militant Islamic group Boko Haram burst into the small town of Chibok, Nigeria, and abducted 276 girls from their school dorm rooms. From poor families, these girls were determined to make better lives for themselves, but pursuing an education made them targets, resulting in one of the most high-profile kidnappings in modern history. While the Chibok incident made international headlines, and prompted the #BringBackOurGirls movement, many unanswered questions surrounding that night remain about the girls’ experiences in captivity, and where many of them are today. In Beneath the Tamarind Tree, Isha Sesay tells this story as no one else can. Originally from Sierra Leone, Sesay led CNN’s Africa reporting for more than a decade, and she was on the front lines when this story broke. With unprecedented access to a group of girls who made it home, she follows the journeys of Priscilla, Saa, and Dorcas in an uplifting tale of sisterhood and survival. “Isha Sesay’s indispensable and gripping account of the brutal abduction of Nigerian schoolgirls by Boko Haram terrorists provides a stark reminder of the great unfinished business of the 21st century: equality for girls and women around the world.” —Hillary Rodham Clinton Dey Street Books: 400 pp.; index, illustrated. 2020 • 9780062686619 • pb • $19.99 ($24.99/CAN)

Valentine: A Novel Elizabeth Wetmore

In Valentine, Elizabeth Wetmore writes, “What the hell is wrong with this place? Mary Rose’s voice is barely more than a whisper. Why don’t we give a shit about what happens to a girl like Gloria Ramirez?”

Valentine is the story of the rape and assault of a 14-year- old Mexican American girl by a young, white man, and the community in which they both live in mid-1970s Odessa, Texas. There is a wide range of responses to this crime as you can very likely imagine: there are good ol’ boys and their network, a scared and heavily scarred illegal immigrant family, a young victim, and a group of women, neighbors, who must confront what has happened in their town, to this girl one of them helped in her own front yard, and a crime which reverberates through their whole community. “Valentine impresses me for confronting the reality with which this community struggles with a question still, sadly, entirely relevant in today’s #MeToo discourse: Why don’t we give a shit about what happens to girls and women, raped or sexually assaulted who aren’t Caucasian? Why, in a moment and movement so concerned with visibility and the making visible, do we still not see, and therefore not know and perhaps care less about, all victims—not just the ones white enough or attractive enough or rich enough to make headlines?” —Kim Racon, Academic Marketing Department, HarperCollins Publishers Harper: 320 pp. 2020 • 9780062913265 • hc • $26.99 ($35.50/CAN)

Peggy Orenstein’s Girls & Sex broke ground, shattered taboos, and galvanized conversations about young women’s right to pleasure and agency in sexual encounters, but Orenstein knew that to fully understand girls and sex, we also need to talk about boys and sex. From pornography as the new sex education, hookup culture and consent, excessive drinking and frat parties, to boy’s experiences as victims and perpetrators of sexual violence—today’s young men are steeped in the distorted media images and stereotypes of female sexiness and toxic masculinity which shape how they navigate sexual and emotional relationships. Orenstein uses a fascinating mix of anecdote and research to reveal how young men understand and negotiate the new rules of physical and emotional intimacy. By exploring the complexity of young men’s attitudes, beliefs, and experiences, Orenstein unravels the hidden truths, hard lessons, and important realities of boys’ sex lives today.
