New York:: St Martin's,, (1997). SIGNED hardcover first edition -. Fine in fine dust jacket.. First printing. A brief but powerful first novel. In a starred review Publisher's Weekly wrote: "Related by ancestry and by their common story, the African American voices form a turbulent current of racial memory that flows through two continents, three centuries and incalculable terror, suffering and grief. A nameless African progenitor searches for the home of the great tree planted as a seed by his grandfather, and for his name, which he eventually comes to know as River. His story - told in timeless, mythlike language - weaves in and out of the counterpointing narratives of his succeeding generations. Ampofo, a new slave, describes the last hours of his life; Sally, also a slave, tells why she killed Ampofo while he still had the heart of a free man; Tom, the biracial son of a plantation owner, relates the torment of being caught between two races." and onto three generations of more contemporary times. SIGNED on the title page. 118 pp plus a family tree.

FROM THE PUBLISHER - From time to time a single voice surfaces: It is all one life and one memory.' It sings of Ampofo, human cargo brought across the seas, of Sally, enslaved as a breeder of slaves, of Tomas, the master's banished son, of Antoinette, summoned by angels, of Robert, unseeing tourist in his ancestral land, and of Brenndan, imprisoned and damned by his violence. And all the voices belong to Calvin Baker, whose tautly lyrical Naming the New World brings the horror and healing of a people to our national literature. inventory #22893 ISBN: 0312151780.
