$26.99Mr. White traces his path from 1950’s minor leagues and baseball’s slow desegregation to his presidency of the National League and his pride in the expansion to Florida and Colorado. His eighteen year broadcasting partnership with Phil Rizzuto and the Yankees is a nice part of the journey.

Vroman's introduces the brand-new Penguin African Writers Series, launching with the two best-known novels by the great Kenyan writer Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o! First published in 1964, Weep Not, Child is a moving novel about the effects of the infamous Mau Mau uprising on the lives of ordinary men and women, and on one family in particular. Three years later, A Grain of Wheat was published, which portrays several characters in a village whose intertwined lives are transformed by the 1952-1960 Emergency in Kenya.
