Book Synopsis Still Swingin' by : Tonya Maria Matthews
Download or read book Still Swingin' written by Tonya Maria Matthews and published by Three Sistahs Press, LLC. This book was released on 2005 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like Lucille Clifton before her, Matthews politicizes the magic of hips that are "wide as hell." She let's readers in on the mystery and often the fear of black girl hips hat can 'stop crap games on shady ghetto corners. Wide enough to birth fat black baby boys."She tells us to swing proud, swing wide, swing universal and always swing love. A young, womanist voice, Matthews' poems are not for those who believe in art for art's sake. Matthews is clear about where she stands as a woman today, historically where she has been, and where we need to be going as a people
Book Synopsis Thanks—Thanks A Lot by : John Wooley
Download or read book Thanks—Thanks A Lot written by John Wooley and published by Babylon Books. This book was released on 2021-11-25 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Billy Parker will always be one of the greats…I’m proud that he has this autobiography to really show who he was and is." ~ Dolly Parton A lover of country music and broadcasting from his earliest days, Billy Parker took his first tentative steps into both those fields while still in his teens, leading to lasting renown as both a top-rated deejay and country recording artist. Following a stint as the front man for Ernest Tubb’s famed Texas Troubadours, Billy returned to his native Oklahoma, where he originated one of the first nationally known overnight radio shows of the ‘70s. For years, Billy’s voice rode nightly over the mighty airwaves of the original KVOO, a 50,000-watt flamethrower that spread Billy Parker’s Big Rigger show all across the country. Later, as program director for the station, he helped many country performers at all levels, becoming well-known for giving everyone a fair shake, regardless of their stature in the industry. Thanks – Thanks A Lot doesn’t just refer to the famous hit record he cut back in the 1960s; it’s also Billy Parker’s sincere nod to those who helped make him what he is today: a performer with several national hits; a trailblazing, multiple-award-winning deejay; and—as the call letters of the station that brought him stardom indicate —nothing less than the Voice of Oklahoma. "Billy was so important to the Oak Ridge Boys. He helped break all our songs and the Midwest followed. Billy was a trusted voice of radio. I am so blessed that our paths crossed and we became good friends for over five decades." ~ Duane Allen (of the Oak Ridge Boys)
Book Synopsis Strategies for Survival by : William Dusinberre
Download or read book Strategies for Survival written by William Dusinberre and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2009-08-13 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strategies for Survival conveys the experience of bondage through former enslaved people's own words. The source of this landmark content is a remarkable series of interviews conducted in Virginia in 1937 by WPA workers. Most of the interviewers were themselves Black; as a result, the subjects spoke with exceptional candor. William Dusinberre explores these interviews to re-create for the modern reader enslaved people's strategies for survival within the severe constrictions bondage imposed upon their lives. Religion and escape were the chief ways of coping with the indignity of family disruption, contempt, and the harsh realities of slavery. We see great creativity and variety in such responses to oppression, but we are forced to acknowledge the dispiriting realties of enslaved existence and the limits of enslaved people's resistance and agency.

Book excerpt: Skinny sat writing to an insurance company who had made it their best interest to exploit his claim in deceit - "suddenly" ink flowed in aggravation, what was meant to be a rather poignant spew turned into a second hand "no holds barred" account of his life. Reasons for leaving a life of security to go trucking the Arctic iceroads, work in dangerous coal mines, or load DC-3's for the northern based Buffalo Airways tell stories of childhood abuse and spontaneous travel. Skinny relates many points of view on what he thinks of society as a whole - views that at times even he wishes to understand - finally forced to settle down, turn around and look back... this is one "wild & crazy" guy's version of truth... "with a twist!"
Book Synopsis Anatomy of a Purple State by : Christopher A. Cooper
Download or read book Anatomy of a Purple State written by Christopher A. Cooper and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2024-10-09 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: North Carolina represents a perfect distillation of the promise and peril of modern American democracy: hyperpartisanship, gerrymandering, dissatisfaction with the two-party system, the urban-rural divide—these issues are all brought into sharp relief in the Tar Heel State. For that reason, North Carolina politics and government are increasingly of interest not just to North Carolina citizens but to journalists, political observers, and people across the country. Political scientist Christopher A. Cooper, to whom the national media go when they need a quote about North Carolina politics, offers a primer made for all people, no matter their political leanings. Readers will be introduced to everything that has made North Carolina the most purple of purple states—from the state constitution and the influence of think tanks to the growing racial diversity of the state and the limitations on the governor's power. By explaining how we came to be in the political situation we are in, Cooper shows us where we might go next. And, as many have said, "As North Carolina goes, so goes the nation."
