Book Synopsis Every Tub Must Sit on Its Own Bottom by : Deborah G. Plant
Download or read book Every Tub Must Sit on Its Own Bottom written by Deborah G. Plant and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a ground-breaking study of Zora Neale Hurston, Deborah Plant takes issue with current notions of Hurston as a feminist and earlier impressions of her as an intellectual lightweight who disregarded serious issues of race in American culture. Instead, Plant calls Hurston a "writer of resistance" who challenged the politics of domination both in her life and in her work. One of the great geniuses of the Harlem Renaissance, Hurston stands out as a strong voice for African American women. Her anthropological inquiries as well as her evocative prose provide today's readers with a rich history of African American folk culture - a folk culture through which Hurston expressed her personal and political strategy of resistance and self-empowerment. Through readings of Hurston's fiction and autobiographical writings, Plant offers one of the first book-length discussions of Hurston's personal philosophy of individualism and self-reliance. From a discussion of Hurston's preacher father and influential mother, whose guiding philosophy is reflected in the title of this book, to the influence of Spinoza and Nietzsche, Plant puts into perspective the driving forces behind Hurston's powerful prose.

Book Synopsis The Politics of Black Joy by : Lindsey Stewart
Download or read book The Politics of Black Joy written by Lindsey Stewart and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2021-09-15 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the antebellum period, slave owners weaponized southern Black joy to argue for enslavement, propagating images of “happy darkies.” In contrast, abolitionists wielded sorrow by emphasizing racial oppression. Both arguments were so effective that a political uneasiness on the subject still lingers. In The Politics of Black Joy, Lindsey Stewart wades into these uncomfortable waters by analyzing Zora Neale Hurston’s uses of the concept of Black southern joy. Stewart develops Hurston’s contributions to political theory and philosophy of race by introducing the politics of joy as a refusal of neo-abolitionism, a political tradition that reduces southern Black life to tragedy or social death. To develop the politics of joy, Stewart draws upon Zora Neale Hurston’s essays, Beyoncé’s Lemonade, and figures across several disciplines including Frederick Douglass, W. E. B. Du Bois, Toni Morrison, Angela Davis, Saidiya Hartman, Imani Perry, Eddie Glaude, and Audra Simpson. The politics of joy offers insights that are crucial for forming needed new paths in our current moment. For those interested in examining popular conceptions of Black political agency at the intersection of geography, gender, class, and Black spirituality, The Politics of Black Joy is essential reading.

Book Synopsis What Will A Man Give In Exchange For His Soul? by : George D. Johnson
Download or read book What Will A Man Give In Exchange For His Soul? written by George D. Johnson and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-10-26 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George D. Johnson’s What Will A Man Give In Exchange For His Soul? is an extensive study of men and women who gave their lives to Christ for the sake of others. Men have exchanged their souls for much power, wealth, and success. When the envious Pharisees asked Christ which was the greatest commandment in the law, in essence, he told them that loving God and their fellow man are the only two laws for which men can exchange their souls. Anything apart from this means they will fall short of God’s expectations. And Johnson’s sophisticated treatise illustrates this fact.

Book Synopsis Game Without Rules by : Kalman Maduro
Download or read book Game Without Rules written by Kalman Maduro and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2019-08-01 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, the author builds on a simple premise and ideology that everyone wants to get to heaven but too many are failing to do the works that are required to get there. He likens the eventuality of that person reaching their goal to one being on a journey having no map or well-thought-out plans of the proper route to take. As a result, they become derailed in a quest for the eternal goodness. They become twisted and mangled in thoughts and deeds, beguiled by an adversary who wants to take them in another direction. And the job of the adversary is made easy, because he seduces and paints the false picture that the secular pleasures in life are rather what is fulfilling and brings these to fruition center stage in their lives any and all such things to do with an unscrupulous social life and the full works, to include marriage and divorce in which they get caught up and led astray. He also does not omit to administer the sweet pills of greed, pride, and selfishness. At the end of the day, what it boils down to is that one can otherwise miss the mark on their journey, particularly if they figured they could reach their destination based upon wishful thinking only and not play by the rules. The reading has been made very interesting by lots of humor built in, but there is nothing fictional about the rules we ought to adhere on this journey.
