Quoted

"...if reading wasn't so important, there wouldn't have been a law passed in 1740 in South Carolina banning African Americans from reading. That's where the power is." Stephanie Y. Evans, Chair of the Clark-Atlanta University Department of History

About Now Rise Books Store Online

After twenty years experience selling books at fairs and expos between Boston and Washington, D.C., I introduced Now Rise Books@Amazon.com to my Now Rise Books blog more than a year ago. Why not combine my passion for talking about literature and selling books in the same space? Now Rise Books blog--the discussion and the bookselling--is the closest I've come to owning that brick-and-mortar community-based bookshop I've dreamed of. With an average of 600 visitors per month, it's my online labor of love.

My Profile

My Photo
Lisa at nowrisebooks@gmail.com
I write about books and sell books under the name, Now Rise Books, a name inspired by the final line from Margaret Walker's poem, "For My People," in which the speaker calls out: "let a race of men now rise and take control." In this space, i transform my love of books into an activist stance, believeing that what is known as Black literature, (serious Black literature), when read and absorbed, can help to uplift Black people so that we overcome the debilitating impact of the hostile racial attitudes aimed at us day to day. Liberated from social brainwashing leaves room for us to affirm daily our God-given sensibility to know and honor God, to know ourselves as God's creation, and to treat others as we want to be treated.
