Download or read book MEdusa written by Coffy Davis and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-28 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MEdusa is a powerful memoir of tumultuous, bold teenage girlhood blossoming in the ruins of black life circa 1990. It's a story of a young girl raised by a single-mom; an ex- military vet suffering from Post- Traumatic Stress and Depression. She finds herself closing inside those same walls of low self-worth and promiscuity but challenges the reflection she sees in the mirror. It's a coming-of-age story of a young girl bursting into this inner-city ballet of heartache and dysfunction and ultimately finds self-love with the energy of a hip-hop lyric. And in the beginning, life is, by just about any measure, a mess. Her strength is pulling poetry out of the wreckage and finding beauty in the most simplistic and basic aspects of urban life; the rhythm of the Double Dutch ropes slapping against asphalt; the dozens; Nike Cortez on cracked side-walks, hide-n-seek in abandoned houses, and first kisses in the back of old school cars is what keeps the beat flowing. She inhales heartaches, violence and trauma and exhales a piece of art that captures a young girl blooming into womanhood in the midst of urban chaos, and fractured family structures. Medusa reads like a hip hop verse-- a modern form of poetry that has a fast-paced flow and a heartbeat like rhythm that keeps time with double-dutch ropes on the pavement and circles of nursery rhymes. Still the most fundamental part is the story. It's a true fairy-tale with all the elements of love and loss. Once upon a time in a land of urban decay where magical moments open like penny-candy and much like pickles with Now & Laters in the middle--can be sweet and sour at the same time. It's a place where young girls are enchanted by mix-tapes, where colorful characters burst on the page with vibrant language. MEdusa feels like slipping on a bright neon- Cross Color outfit and turning the dial on the radio to elaborate phraseology.MEdusa, is the image of a misunderstood and often villainized woman whose outward appearance essentially reduces others to stony and cold figures. How it's often a façade a woman creates for herself for protection but how she can ultimately imprison herself behind these same walls. It's a story about monsters, real and imagined and how society creates images of women that young girls struggle to bend themselves into. This book is also a celebration of flowers; women, those broken, damaged bushels pushing through the cracks in the concrete.
Download or read book Sexual Politics written by Kate Millett and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2016-02-16 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sensation upon its publication in 1970, Sexual Politics documents the subjugation of women in great literature and art. Kate Millett's analysis targets four revered authors—D. H. Lawrence, Henry Miller, Norman Mailer, and Jean Genet—and builds a damning profile of literature's patriarchal myths and their extension into psychology, philosophy, and politics. Her eloquence and popular examples taught a generation to recognize inequities masquerading as nature and proved the value of feminist critique in all facets of life. This new edition features the scholar Catharine A. MacKinnon and the New Yorker correspondent Rebecca Mead on the importance of Millett's work to challenging the complacency that sidelines feminism.
Book Synopsis Why Solange Matters by : Stephanie Phillips
Download or read book Why Solange Matters written by Stephanie Phillips and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2021-04-20 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing up in the shadow of her superstar sister, Solange Knowles became a pivotal musician in her own right. Defying an industry that attempted to bend her to its rigid image of a Black woman, Solange continually experimented with her sound and embarked on a metamorphosis in her art that continues to this day. In Why Solange Matters, Stephanie Phillips chronicles the creative journey of an artist who became a beloved voice for the Black Lives Matter generation. A Black feminist punk musician herself, Phillips addresses not only the unpredictable trajectory of Solange Knowles's career but also how she and other Black women see themselves through the musician's repertoire. First, she traces Solange’s progress through an inflexible industry, charting the artist’s development up to 2016, when the release of her third album, A Seat at the Table, redefined her career. Then, with A Seat at the Table and 2019’s When I Get Home, Phillips describes how Solange embraced activism, anger, Black womanhood, and intergenerational trauma to inform her remarkable art. Why Solange Matters not only cements the place of its subject in the pantheon of world-changing twenty-first century musicians, it introduces its writer as an important new voice.
Book Synopsis The Sisters Are Alright by : Tamara Winfrey Harris
Download or read book The Sisters Are Alright written by Tamara Winfrey Harris and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GOLD MEDALIST OF FOREWORD REVIEWS' 2015 INDIEFAB AWARDS IN WOMEN'S STUDIES What's wrong with black women? Not a damned thing! The Sisters Are Alright exposes anti–black-woman propaganda and shows how real black women are pushing back against distorted cartoon versions of themselves. When African women arrived on American shores, the three-headed hydra—servile Mammy, angry Sapphire, and lascivious Jezebel—followed close behind. In the '60s, the Matriarch, the willfully unmarried baby machine leeching off the state, joined them. These stereotypes persist to this day through newspaper headlines, Sunday sermons, social media memes, cable punditry, government policies, and hit song lyrics. Emancipation may have happened more than 150 years ago, but America still won't let a sister be free from this coven of caricatures. Tamara Winfrey Harris delves into marriage, motherhood, health, sexuality, beauty, and more, taking sharp aim at pervasive stereotypes about black women. She counters warped prejudices with the straight-up truth about being a black woman in America. “We have facets like diamonds,” she writes. “The trouble is the people who refuse to see us sparkling.”
Download or read book Eloquent Rage written by Brittney Cooper and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2018-02-20 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Emma Watson "Our Shared Shelf" Selection for November/December 2018 • NAMED A BEST BOOK OF 2018/ MENTIONED BY: The New York Public Library • Mashable • The Atlantic • Bustle • The Root • Politico Magazine ("What the 2020 Candidates Are Reading This Summer") • NPR • Fast Company ("10 Best Books for Battling Your Sexist Workplace") • The Guardian ("Top 10 Books About Angry Women") Rebecca Solnit, The New Republic: "Funny, wrenching, pithy, and pointed." Roxane Gay: "I encourage you to check out Eloquent Rage out now." Joy Reid, Cosmopolitan: "A dissertation on black women’s pain and possibility." America Ferrera: "Razor sharp and hilarious. There is so much about her analysis that I relate to and grapple with on a daily basis as a Latina feminist." Damon Young: "Like watching the world’s best Baptist preacher but with sermons about intersectionality and Beyoncé instead of Ecclesiastes." Melissa Harris Perry: “I was waiting for an author who wouldn’t forget, ignore, or erase us black girls...I was waiting and she has come in Brittney Cooper.” Michael Eric Dyson: “Cooper may be the boldest young feminist writing today...and she will make you laugh out loud.” So what if it’s true that Black women are mad as hell? They have the right to be. In the Black feminist tradition of Audre Lorde, Brittney Cooper reminds us that anger is a powerful source of energy that can give us the strength to keep on fighting. Far too often, Black women’s anger has been caricatured into an ugly and destructive force that threatens the civility and social fabric of American democracy. But Cooper shows us that there is more to the story than that. Black women’s eloquent rage is what makes Serena Williams such a powerful tennis player. It’s what makes Beyoncé’s girl power anthems resonate so hard. It’s what makes Michelle Obama an icon. Eloquent rage keeps us all honest and accountable. It reminds women that they don’t have to settle for less. When Cooper learned of her grandmother's eloquent rage about love, sex, and marriage in an epic and hilarious front-porch confrontation, her life was changed. And it took another intervention, this time staged by one of her homegirls, to turn Brittney into the fierce feminist she is today. In Brittney Cooper’s world, neither mean girls nor fuckboys ever win. But homegirls emerge as heroes. This book argues that ultimately feminism, friendship, and faith in one's own superpowers are all we really need to turn things right side up again.

Twenty-six-year-old editorial assistant Nella Rogers is tired of being the only Black employee at Wagner Books. Fed up with the isolation and microaggressions, she’s thrilled when Harlem-born and bred Hazel starts working in the cubicle beside hers. They’ve only just started comparing natural hair care regimens, though, when a string of uncomfortable events elevates Hazel to Office Darling, and Nella is left in the dust. Then the notes begin to appear on Nella’s desk: LEAVE WAGNER. NOW. It’s hard to believe Hazel is behind these hostile messages. But as Nella starts to spiral and obsess over the sinister forces at play, she soon realizes that there’s a lot more at stake than just her career. Having joined Wagner Books to honor the legacy of Burning Heart, a novel written and edited by two Black women, she had thought that this animosity was a relic of the past.
