520    "A suicidal father looks to an older neighbor--and the 
       Cookie Monster--for salvation and sanctuary as his life 
       begins to unravel. A man seeking to save his estranged, 
       drug-addicted brother from the city's underbelly confronts
       his own mortality. A chess match between a girl and her 
       father turns into a master class about life, self-
       realization, and pride: "Now hold on little girl. ... 
       Chess is like real life. The white pieces go first so they
       got an advantage over the black pieces." These are just a 
       few glimpses into the world of the residents of the 
       fictional town of Cross River, Maryland, a largely black 
       settlement founded in 1807 after the only successful slave
       revolt in the United States. Raw, edgy, and unrelenting 
       yet infused with forgiveness, redemption, and humor, the 
       stories in this collection explore characters suffering 
       the quiet tragedies of everyday life and fighting for 
       survival. In Insurrections, Rion Amilcar Scott's lyrical 
       prose authentically portrays individuals growing up and 
       growing old in an African American community. Writing with
       a delivery and dialect that are intense and 
       unapologetically current, Scott presents characters who 
       dare to make their own choices--choices of kindness or 
       cruelty--in the depths of darkness and hopelessness. 
       Although Cross River's residents may be halted or deterred
       in their search for fulfillment, their spirits remain 
       resilient--always evolving and constantly moving."--
