Book Synopsis What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Blacker by : Damon Young
Download or read book What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Blacker written by Damon Young and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2019-03-26 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Finalist for the NAACP Image Award A Finalist for the Hurston/Wright Legacy Award for Nonfiction A Finalist for the Thurber Prize for American Humor Longlisted for the PEN/Diamonstein-Spielvogel Award for the Art of the Essay An NPR Best Book of the Year A Washington Independent Review of Books Favorite of the Year From the host of podcast "Stuck with Damon Young," cofounder of VerySmartBrothas.com, and one of the most read writers on race and culture at work today, a provocative and humorous memoir-in-essays that explores the ever-shifting definitions of what it means to be Black (and male) in America For Damon Young, existing while Black is an extreme sport. The act of possessing black skin while searching for space to breathe in Americais enough to induce a ceaseless state of angst where questions such as “How should I react here, as a professional black person?” and “Will this white person’s potato salad kill me?” are forever relevant. What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Blacker chronicles Young’s efforts to survive while battling and making sense of the various neuroses his country has given him. It’s a condition that’s sometimes stretched to absurd limits, provoking the angst that made him question if he was any good at the “being straight” thing, as if his sexual orientation was something he could practice and get better at, like a crossover dribble move or knitting; creating the farce where, as a teen, he wished for a white person to call him a racial slur just so he could fight him and have a great story about it; and generating the surreality of watching gentrification transform his Pittsburgh neighborhood from predominantly Black to “Portlandia . . . but with Pierogies.” And, at its most devastating, it provides him reason to believe that his mother would be alive today if she were white. From one of our most respected cultural observers, What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Blacker is a hilarious and honest debut that is both a celebration of the idiosyncrasies and distinctions of Blackness and a critique of white supremacy and how we define masculinity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being inside another kingdom’s prison is not part of the future plan of Alpha Prince Steele North of the Northernland Kingdom. He and his men are accused of abducting with the attempt to assassinate Luna Queen Lily Wolfe, the wife of Alpha King Boone Wolfe of the Wolferaine. If convicted, Prince Steele can face capital punishment. While King Wolfe is his enemy, Prince Steele never has a plan to harm the king’s wife. Especially since the queen is Prince Steele’s own cousin. But if he was not the one who abducted the queen, then who? Somebody was framing him and his men, and the clock was ticking. They need to know the answer fast, otherwise they will have to march to the gallows. The only person fits the profile is Prince Steele’s twin brother, Alpha Prince Damon North. That makes little sense since Prince Damon died six years ago. King Wolfe himself had killed him. Camellia Collins doesn’t know that her fated mate, Prince Damon, has died. People said that Prince Damon was savage and predatory, but Camellia refuses to believe that. Damon that she knew was a kind man who cared for the weak. He was not a vicious prince who had an ambition to rule the strongest kingdom in the whole shifters’ world. It was clear to Camellia that Prince Damon was the victim of a conspiracy. But who would frame Damon? There can only be one person who fits the description: Alpha Prince Steele North. The man wants to be the King of the Northernland, and will have the position by any means necessary. Well, not on Camellia’s watch. They need to stop him, and Camellia will be the person who does the job. There’s only one problem. Alpha Prince Steele North too is Camellia’s fated mate.

Book Synopsis Courageous Pedagogy by : Andrew Gilbert
Download or read book Courageous Pedagogy written by Andrew Gilbert and published by IAP. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are only a few studies that investigate the actual small-scale classroom processes and approaches that allow for students to participate in “doing” critical science and none that compare CSE to traditional classroom contexts. In a critical science classroom student’ thoughts, beliefs, and questions serve as the starting point for scientific investigation where an underlying goal is for students to students to utilize this scientific knowledge to empower their own lives. One must ask, “What would this process look like? What would happen to the students?” Pruyn (1999) argued that the difficult nature of this type of research has limited the number of studies that investigate small-scale critical classroom approaches. These classroom interactions and approaches will provide valuable insights into the diffi cult processes that must exist for students to begin to develop transformative notions of the world.

Book Synopsis Sorry I Worried You by : Gary Fincke
Download or read book Sorry I Worried You written by Gary Fincke and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these twelve intelligent tales, seasoned poet and story writer Gary Fincke reconciles lost hope and quiet despair with small blessings and ultimate redemption. In his world, as easily as one man becomes a hero, another is riddled with failure. Fincke weaves together the large and small tragedies of daily life to create an inescapable, yet at times oddly comforting, reality. His characters inhabit a world of strip malls and fast-food joints, low-down jobs and physical ailments, lottery tickets and cheap beer. Here, everyone and everything is suspicious, and only the luck of the draw determines who, if anyone, will survive. In the title story, Ben, a fifty-year-old bookstore clerk facing the possibility of prostate cancer, feels his life spiraling out of control as he endures his female doctor's examinations with childlike embarrassment on the one hand and struggles to conceal his age from his teenybopper coworkers on the other. Ben's only consolation is that "every day he heard about something a hundred times worse." In "Gatsby, Tender, Paradise," Bridgeford encounters a group of lightning strike and electrocution victims and feels lucky to have survived several light-switch shocks—the same type of shocks that have permanently disabled one man in the group. Such are the small but important blessings that ultimately rescue Fincke's characters from despair. Here at last is someone who can articulate both our constant, mortal desire to transcend ordinary experience and our simultaneous comfort in the unremarkable and familiar.

Book Synopsis The Scottsboro Boys in Their Own Words by : Kwando M. Kinshasa
Download or read book The Scottsboro Boys in Their Own Words written by Kwando M. Kinshasa and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-01-23 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a collection of letters written by the nine African American defendants in the infamous March 1931 Scottsboro, Alabama, rape case. Though most of the defendants were barely literate and all were teenagers when incarcerated, over the course of almost two decades in prison they learned the rudiments of effective letter writing and in doing so forcefully expressed a wide range of perspectives on the falsity of the charges against them as their incarceration became a cause celebre both in the United States and internationally. Central to this book is the chronologically structured presentation of letters (1931-1950), including some correspondence from attorneys and members of Scottsboro support committees. The original grammar, syntax and vernacular of the defendants are maintained in a desire to preserve the authenticity of these letters.
