Dangerous Liaisons

Sex and Love in the Segregated South

By: Charles Frank Robinson

In the South after the Civil War, segregation--and race itself--was based on the idea that interracial sex posed a biological threat to the white race. In this groundbreaking book, Charles Robinson examines how white southerners enforced antimiscegenation laws. His findings challenge conventional wisdom, documenting a pattern of selective prosecutions under which interracial domestic relationships were punished even more harshly than transient sexual encounters.

Engaging Missouri

An Epic Drama of Love, Honor, and Redemption Across the Color Line

By: Charles Frank Robinson II

Engaging Missouri is the epic drama of a powerful but tragic love affair that takes place in Arkansas in the 1880s. Based on actual events, this historical fiction details the efforts of Isaac Bankston, a white sheriff and former Confederate soldier, and Missouri Bradford, a young, beautiful woman of color, to hold on to the love that they have for each other despite the significant obstacles that stand in their way. Isaac and Missouri live in a white South bent on preventing genuine affection across the color line. Add to this fact that Isaac is married when his affair with Missouri begins and one has an explosive combination that influences the lives of all of the people connected to this drama. In the end, Isaac learns that the only way that he can continue engaging Missouri is to be willing to make the ultimate sacrifice. Engaging Missouri is a story that illustrates the complexity of the human condition as individuals strive to negotiate their desires with society's sometimes uncompromising demands.

Something Magic

The Baltimore Orioles, 1979-1983

By: Charles Kupfer

Orioles Magic" is a phrase fans still associate with the 1979-1983 seasons, Baltimore's last championship era, when they played excellent, exciting ball with a penchant for late-inning heroics. This book analyzes the Orioles not just as a great team but as the team to be marked by the fabled "Oriole Way," an organizational commitment to fundamentally sound baseball that guided them for nearly 30 years. The Magic years are discussed in the context of Baltimore sports, fan culture and baseball history, recalling the thrills of a splendid squad that delighted fans and reminding us why Peter Gammons called the 1979-1983 Orioles one of the major league's "last fun teams.

Baseball Prodigies

Best Major League Seasons by Players Under 21

By: Charles F. Faber

This is a book about baseball players who performed in the major leagues before the age of 21. For years the dream of many boys has been to enter the world of professional sports. Out of millions of boys who have played baseball, more than 17,000 have appeared in major league contests. Among them were hundreds who made their debut before their 21st birthday. However, most of these appeared in only a few games. Only 284 young men have played at least one season as a regular before or during the season in which they reached the age of 21. They are the subjects of this book. The text is divided into three parts. Part One deals with the careers of the ten prodigies who had the most productive seasons at the bat. Part Two discusses the ten young pitchers who had the most fruitful seasons on the mound. Part Three provides short sketches of the 172 players with at least five eligible seasons who do not rank among the above 20 prodigies. Data on the 92 players with at least one but fewer than five eligible seasons are given in an appendix.
