Book Synopsis I've Got to Make My Livin' by : Cynthia M. Blair
Download or read book I've Got to Make My Livin' written by Cynthia M. Blair and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2018-09-28 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many years, the interrelated histories of prostitution and cities have perked the ears of urban scholars, but until now the history of urban sex work has dealt only in passing with questions of race. In I’ve Got to Make My Livin’, Cynthia Blair explores African American women’s sex work in Chicago during the decades of some of the city’s most explosive growth, expanding not just our view of prostitution, but also of black women’s labor, the Great Migration, black and white reform movements, and the emergence of modern sexuality. Focusing on the notorious sex districts of the city’s south side, Blair paints a complex portrait of black prostitutes as conscious actors and historical agents; prostitution, she argues here, was both an arena of exploitation and abuse, as well as a means of resisting middle-class sexual and economic norms. Blair ultimately illustrates just how powerful these norms were, offering stories about the struggles that emerged among black and white urbanites in response to black women’s increasing visibility in the city’s sex economy. Through these powerful narratives, I’ve Got to Make My Livin’ reveals the intersecting racial struggles and sexual anxieties that underpinned the celebration of Chicago as the quintessentially modern twentieth-century city.

Download or read book Pioneer Street written by Thomas Lisenbee and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2018-11-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever wonder what your parents were like before you got to know them? When you were a kid, did you ever long for someone to tell you who you really were? Then meet Preston Stoner. The year is 2004, and he is a somewhat bemused fifty-eight-year-old Nebraskan living in exile on Pioneer Street in Red Hook, Brooklyn, when his past abruptly reasserts itself into his life. Orphaned at five and reawakened by memories of death and betrayal often so faint as to be almost nonexistent, this devoted husband and father shares the dilemma of every saint, sinner, wise man, fool, or dullard who has spent the better part of an adult life pretending the early events of one’s childhood doesn’t matter. Bestirred by equal portions of courage and fear, born of love and contempt, this novel invites the reader to come along for the ride as events contrast back and forth between Preston’s inalterable, virtually unknowable childhood past in Beatrice, Nebraska, and his painfully all-too-knowable, somewhat-humdrum, somewhat-chaotic present-day life in Brooklyn.

Book Synopsis Blueswomen by : Anna Stong Bourgeois
Download or read book Blueswomen written by Anna Stong Bourgeois and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While much has been written over the years about male blues singers of the first half of the 20th century, little attention has been paid to blueswomen. These women used their songs to proclaim their pain or to speak up and protest unfair conditions and discrimination. Through their songs, they expressed a desire for freedom and equality in a time when women were almost universally subjugated. The 37 women profiled here are representative of the many blueswomen who performed in the United States through the end of World War II. Some are well known (e.g., Lucille Bogan and Sippie Wallace), but many are obscure (such as Lil Johnson, Liza Brown and Margaret Whitmire). Biographical profiles are followed by a sampling of the performers' lyrics.

Book excerpt: Detective “Fang” Mulheisen returns in a rollicking thriller hailed as “a quirky, comic delight that brings to mind early Elmore Leonard” (Booklist). Detroit’s Det. Sgt. “Fang” Mulheisen is far from home and hunting for his seemingly unkillable nemesis, a hired gun named Joe Service, who survived a gunshot to the head and escaped a hospital with the help of his beguiling nurse. Joe is in Salt Lake City looking for his longtime lover and partner in crime, Helen Sedlacek, who is in hiding with millions in stolen mob money. The problem is, Joe’s injuries have left his memory a bit shaky—even if his skills with a gun are still rock solid—which leads to a whole lot of dead bodies in his wake. And those bodies leave a trail for Mulheisen to track his quarry. But there are a lot of other unpleasant people looking for Joe—all with itchy trigger fingers. And Mulheisen has to get between them all before his manhunt becomes a bloodbath. With a cast of unforgettably mad characters and an explosive climax, this is a “murderously funny” read you won’t be able to put down (Kirkus Reviews).
