Pub. Info: 2015
"Antony and Cleopatra. Helen of Troy and Paris. Romeo and Juliet. And now... Henry and Flora. For centuries Love and Death have chosen their players. They have set the rules, rolled the dice, and kept close, ready to influence, angling for supremacy. And Death has always won. Always. Could there ever be one time, one place, one pair whose love would truly tip the balance? Meet Flora Saudade, an African-American girl who dreams of becoming the next Amelia Earhart by day and sings in the smoky jazz clubs of Seattle by night. Meet Henry Bishop, born a few blocks and a million worlds away, a white boy with his future assured -- a wealthy adoptive family in the midst of the Great Depression, a college scholarship, and all the opportunities in the world seemingly available to him. The players have been chosen. The dice have been rolled. But when human beings make moves of their own, what happens next is anyone's guess."--Dust jacket

Pub. Info: New York, New York : One World, an imprint of Random House, 2026.
Includes index.
In Chain of Ideas, Ibram X. Kendi examines the historical development and global dissemination of the concept commonly referred to as the "great replacement" theory. The work traces the term's origins in early 21st-century Europe and analyzes how related ideas have been adapted and circulated in political discourse across multiple regions. Drawing on historical examples and contemporary events, the author explores how narratives centered on demographic change have influenced public opinion, policymaking, and political movements. The book considers the relationship between these ideas and broader concerns about democracy, governance, and social cohesion, and discusses responses aimed at addressing their impact.
