| FREE!: Great Escapes from Slaver on the Underground Railroad
A partnership between Third World Press and Philadelphia's New City COMMUNITY Press, FREE! is a collection of non-fiction stories of America's Underground Railroad as compelling as the history they chronicle. Cary breathes life into the accounts
of slave escapes documented by William Still, co-chair of the Vigilance Committee of the Pennsylvania Committee for the Abolition of Slavery. Still himself is the son of an escaped slave, and the heartbreaking story of his mother's daring escape
is among the stories included. In addition, FREE! offers readers a chance to live vicariously through the lives of the interesting characters in the twelve additional stories as they run with breathless courage, through darkness, freezing cold, desperate hunger and bone-weary fatigue, risking their lives at a chance to be their own masters. For more information, see www.freethebook.net.
FREE! is distributed by Third World Press.

| Espejos
y Ventanas details the individual stories of the Mexican
community of Kennett Square, a community of three generations
who have migrated to work in the world's largest mushroom industry,
and details their personal and political aspirations. Published
with both Spanish and English versions, these oral histories provide
a window into the lifes of retirees who came north twenty-five
years ago; of mothers and children who stayed in Mexico and finally
made it over; of teenagers building a house for their family in
Mexico; of children graduating from college, their feet planted
in two worlds. In doing so, it provides a window into the general
struggles of immigrant populations for social, political, and
economic rights.
