In the Remixed Classics series, authors from diverse backgrounds take different literary classics from centuries past and reinterpret them through their own unique cultural lens. This collection will serve YA readers as both a series of fun, engaging reads as well as a subversive overall look at what our society has deemed “classic”—works that are overwhelmingly cishet, white, and male.

In A Clash of Steel: A Treasure Island Remix, two intrepid girls hunt for a legendary treasure on the deadly high seas. In So Many Beginnings: A Little Women Remix, you’ll meet four young Black sisters—Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy—as they come of age during the American Civil War.

The accumulation of wealth is steeped in trauma. How can we shift industries like media, consumer brands, finance, and philanthropy toward social reconciliation and healing if the cornerstones are exploitation, extraction, and control?

“In Decolonizing Wealth, Edgar lays a foundation that not only explains the history of wealth and racism but also provides a pathway to healing that we all need.”
—Ibram X. Kendi, author of How to Be an Antiracist

“The relationship between economic injustice and systemic racism must be understood. Edgar boldly and accessibly illuminates the connections while offering a way forward.”
—Robin DiAngelo, author of White Fragility
