Book Synopsis Street Players by : Kinohi Nishikawa
Download or read book Street Players written by Kinohi Nishikawa and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2019-01-11 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The uncontested center of the black pulp fiction universe for more than four decades was the Los Angeles publisher Holloway House. From the late 1960s until it closed in 2008, Holloway House specialized in cheap paperbacks with page-turning narratives featuring black protagonists in crime stories, conspiracy thrillers, prison novels, and Westerns. From Iceberg Slim’s Pimp to Donald Goines’s Never Die Alone, the thread that tied all of these books together—and made them distinct from the majority of American pulp—was an unfailing veneration of black masculinity. Zeroing in on Holloway House, Street Players explores how this world of black pulp fiction was produced, received, and recreated over time and across different communities of readers. Kinohi Nishikawa contends that black pulp fiction was built on white readers’ fears of the feminization of society—and the appeal of black masculinity as a way to counter it. In essence, it was the original form of blaxploitation: a strategy of mass-marketing race to suit the reactionary fantasies of a white audience. But while chauvinism and misogyny remained troubling yet constitutive aspects of this literature, from 1973 onward, Holloway House moved away from publishing sleaze for a white audience to publishing solely for black readers. The standard account of this literary phenomenon is based almost entirely on where this literature ended up: in the hands of black, male, working-class readers. When it closed, Holloway House was synonymous with genre fiction written by black authors for black readers—a field of cultural production that Nishikawa terms the black literary underground. But as Street Players demonstrates, this cultural authenticity had to be created, promoted, and in some cases made up, and there is a story of exploitation at the heart of black pulp fiction’s origins that cannot be ignored.

Book Synopsis Rainbows From the Heart by : Wendell V. Fountain
Download or read book Rainbows From the Heart written by Wendell V. Fountain and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2009-02 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a ten-year collection of poems (1999-2009), thirty-four in all, with each being preceded by a preamble. It is a poetic story about a man and a woman who found love late in life, when neither was looking for a lasting relationship, because both had essentially given up finding that "someone special" with whom to share their intimate dreams and hopes. They both had ongoing relationships which had escaped rainbows from the heart, and neither of them were as happy as they wanted and needed to be. It all began so innocently, resulting from perhaps serendipity or possibly even divine preordination. It was an encounter in a work environment by two graduate professors who, until then, were complete strangers. It was like a film or movie about when a man meets a woman and they live happily ever after, because when their eyes met that day something happened which is inexplicable. Just ten days later, they attended a faculty meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, and their lives changed completely and gloriously. As they sat in the Atlanta Airport, waiting for the their respective flights, taking them to different places, he told her, "I know you might think this is crazy, but I think I love you." She merely smiled and said, "I knew what you were going to say, because I feel that way, too." So, the journey began, and now ten years later and their eventual marriage, they have a relationship of fairy tale proportions.

Download or read book Lyrical Bible written by Gregory Von Lee and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-08-31 with total page 813 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author is a hermit! A lifetime underachiever: A person who learned that you make it in life by hard work, smarts and chance. Who understands that there are no accidents or luck in life; there are only mistakes, opportunities and preparation. The author does not believe in marriage or relationships because he doesn't want to share 50/ 50 with no one. He only believes in intercourse and the feelings for the moment. It doesn't matter how a woman looks. That's because the author is more interested in the act and the person than the physical features. The author doesn't want his picture in the book because he rather be recognized for his works not his face. And he wants you to know in the end where to find happiness. It's not in a mate. They could leave you one day. It's in your babies.
