Many of the early students also brought their slaves to the college with them. Upon Emancipation some of the African Americans of the community--mostly women--stayed on as servants forming what is now called the Hollins Community. Although the servants played an integral part in the college's success students were strongly discouraged from acknowledging them as people. Rules forbidding any 'familiarity' with the servants perpetuated a prejudicial attitude toward the African American community that would persist well into the 1940s. Determined to give voice to the African American community that served as the silent workforce for Hollins College Ethel Morgan Smith herself a graduate of Hollis College succeeded in finding individuals to step forward and tell their stories."--jacket ; VG/VG Columbia : University of Missouri Press, 2000. hardcover

Red cloth in decorative dust jacket ; 1st edition 1st printing ; ISBN: 0930330994 9780930330996 ; "Over the last 20 years Baxt A Queer Kind of Death has always had a light touch but this book reaches new heights of levity if not silliness. Jethro Clay is devastated by the death of his beautiful ballerina daughter Vanessa when tycoon Medwin Patton deliberately runs her down in his car. Maddened by Patton's hangers-on who testify that it was an accident Clay goes on a murderous rampage. Aided by Patton's estranged wife Lilith he devises a series of ''clever'' murders e.g. a choreographer loses his legs that will eradicate the toadies. Under the very noses of two clever NYPD detectives the killings culminate in an almost-clean getaway for lovers Clay and Lilith with a twist ending in Africa. Among the problems of this disappointing caper are paper-thin characters and an unbelievable plot; the suspense is further vitiated by labored mayhem and feeble wisecracks."--Publisher's Weekly ; FINE/FINE New York : International Polygonics, c1988. hardcover
