Ruby Robinson Ennis is a wife, a mother, a grandmother, and a retired educator. Interest in her family genealogy led her to record information about her paternal ancestors that she learned from her father. Ennis validates much that her father told her through research. Through DNA testing, she traces strands of her paternal and maternal families to Mali, Niger, Nigeria, and Cameroon. Her personal memories of her families and her ability to connect incidents in their lives with the black experience in America prove to be lively and enlightening. Photographs from her mother's scrapbook that date from the late 19th century, the early 20th century and later further enhance her genealogical account.
Ennis also chronicles the history of Scotlandville, Louisiana, a once thriving, predominately black town north of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where she and her siblings were reared.

There's no one else quite like Jean-Luc Godard. You could take a few frames from one of his films and know they were by the maestro and nobody else. Where the flood of movies globally now runs into many thousands, Godard's works stand out as original, acerbic, romantic, ironic, humorous and explorative.
EXTRACT FROM CHAPTER 2: "GODARD BIOGRAPHY"
With Bout du Souffle, Godard produced one of the first, great French New Wave movies, starring Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg, and written by, among others, Fran ois Truffaut. Bout du Souffle, with its cool Parisian milieu, its filmic and film noir allusions, handheld camera, direct sound, startling editing and stylish, self-conscious performances from Belmondo and Seberg, established Godard as one of the major voices of postwar cinema, a reputation which Godard built on in subsequent early films such as Le Petit Soldat (1960), Une Femme Est Une Femme (1961), Vivre Sa Vie (1962), Le M pris (1963), Bande Part (1964), and Une Femme Mari e (1964).
In these films of the early to mid-1960s, Godard established a radical, polemical series of films as film-essays which confronted issues such as late consumer capitalism, prostitution, labour, politics, ideology, gender, marriage, music, popular culture, Hollywood and not forgetting cinema itself.
In the mid-1960s, Godard's films became increasingly political - the sci-fi film Alphaville (1965), Pierrot le Fou (1965), Made in U.S.A (1966), Masculine/ F minin (1966), 2 ou 3 Choses Que Je Sais (1966) - until, by 1967-68, the Marxist and Maoist influences permeated Godard's films: Weekend (1967), La Chinoise (1967), La Gai Savoir (1968), and One Plus One (Sympathy For the Devil, 1968). His concern was 'not to make political films, but to make films politically' (my emphasis).
In the 1970s, Godard moved into video and television territory, and worked with Anne-Marie Mi ville on many projects: Ici Et Ailleurs (1974), Num ro Deux (1975), Comment a Va (1976), Six Fois Deux/ Sur Et Sous La Communication (1976), and France/ Tour/ D tour/ Deux/ Enfants (1977-78).
In the late 1970s, Godard made a 'return' to feature filmmaking, with the 'sublime trilogy', Sauve Qui Peut (a.k.a. Every Man For Himself and Slow Motion, 1979), Passion (1982), and Pr nom: Carmen (1983).
Easily his most controversial film, Je Vous Salue Marie (Hail Mary), appeared in 1985; it was followed by D tective (1985), made to help finance the completion of Hail Mary, King Lear (1987), which starred Peter Sellars, Burgess Meredith, Molly Ringwald, Norman Mailer and Woody Allen, Nouvelle Vague (1990), H las Pour Moi (1993), For Ever Mozart (1997), loge de l'Amour (In Praise of Love, 2000) and Notre Musique (2005).

CHILDISH GAMES ... GRISLY CONSEQUENCES
Amanda was shocked and mystified when Alex apparently committed suicide. How could he have slashed his wrists in the bathtub and then slit his own throat? And why did the police not recognize that a rope around his hands had been removed? Young, sensitive Haley had seen the rope and the "Other", but kept it to herself. When her 15-year old sister Cassie led the older kids to try to contact Alex through a s ance, an apparition looking exactly like Haley suddenly appeared. The Other was jumping a red striped rope and singing. The same jump rope that had been around Alex's hands?
Cassie unfortunately agreed to an illicit rendezvous with Shawn at midnight in the woods. When Cassie and Shawn did not return, Haley was suspicious and frightened. You see, the Other had appeared again-jumping rope and singing its mournful song.
Rachel had also seen the apparition and became concerned that something deadly and evil was stalking the family. But, who would believe her? Surely, the events that followed Alex's death so closely could not be just coincidence. What had really happened to Alex in the bathtub? Haley was too scared to talk. Scared of seeing the Other again ... scared of feeling the jump rope tighten around her own fragile throat ...
