Martin R. Delany's Blake (1859, 1861-1862) is one of the most important African American--and indeed American--works of fiction of the nineteenth century. It tells the story of Henry Blake's escape from a southern plantation and his subsequent travels across the United States, into Canada, and to Africa and Cuba. His mission is to unite the black populations of the American Atlantic regions, both free and slave, in the struggle for freedom, whether through insurrection or through emigration and the creation of an independent black state. Blake is a rhetorical masterpiece, all the more strange and mysterious for remaining incomplete, breaking off before its final scene.

This edition of Blake, prepared by textual scholar Jerome McGann, offers the first correct printing of the work in book form. It establishes an accurate text, supplies contextual notes and commentaries, and presents an authoritative account of the work's composition and publication history. In a lively introduction, McGann argues that Delany employs the resources of fiction to develop a critical account of the interconnected structure of racist power as it operated throughout the American Atlantic. He likens Blake to Upton Sinclair's The Jungle, in its willful determination to transform a living and terrible present.

Blake; or, The Huts of America: A Corrected Edition will be used in undergraduate and graduate classes on the history of African American fiction, on the history of the American novel, and on black cultural studies. General readers will welcome as well the first reliable edition of Delany's fiction.

Great value
You get so many in the package. My dog gets one each night after dinner as a “tooth brushing”. He’s a big greyhound and these are thin and smallish, which is great for smaller dogs, but he loves them anyway.

My dogs favorite
These are my dogs favourite treats at the end of the day. I used to buy the small packages, but im so glad i just discovered the large size. He waits all day for these and he'll even sit by the drawer theyre kept in throughout the day hoping to get one. They smell like real food (not strong though) and one of these lasts him at least 20-30 minutes. My dog is insanely picky when it comes to chewing sticks so im glad hes obsessed with these. He'll first chew off the chicken wrapping around the rawhide, then eat the full rawhide afterwards followed by a huge nap. They tire him out which is perfect because hes a huge chewer.
