Book excerpt: ANGELO "BAREFOOT POOKIE" WHITE LIVING LEGACY OF GREAT BLACK LEADERS I am the product of the struggle fought by our legacy of Black folk raised in America. The birth of our community struggle began as early as the year 1619, when the Dutch introduced the first captured Africans to American plantations. The seeds of a slavery system that evolved into a nightmare of abuse and cruelty eventually led people to turn on each other in a quest for resources, power and control in a nation where they were put in a powerless situation for many years of abuse. From the moment the first African slaves were introduced, slavery began. Jamestown, Virginia was a colony where Africans were first brought into north America in 1619. The goal was to use us as a way to make money through crops and working the tobacco fields. The slavery industry continued to grow throughout the next two centuries. The economic system of much of North America was built by sweat and toil of our people. People got rich off of our backs, while building their new nation that we had no voice in controlling. It wasn't until some brave souls began the abolition movement in the north, that the centuries of abuse started to be challenged. The fight over whether our people should be freed divided a nation and resulted in a bloody bath war. The same mentality that made slavery kept our folk in less powerful and unequal situations until the civil rights era where America really challenged unequal practices for the first time. Torn from the rich soils from the motherland of Africa, the origin of our civilized culture where we were kings and queens and warriors, our ancestors found themselves on the shores of America, suddenly stripped and raped of all their dignity and power. Mass oppression during the Jim Crow Era worked to further silence our people, until we began to push back. The 1950's and 60's, when I grew up, was the era of the Black African youth baby boomer generation. The great Black African leaders paved the way for our stories to be written and eventually told. Beginning with our leaders Nat Turner, W.E.B. Dubois, Fredrick Douglass, Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X, Martin L. King, Jr. Huey Newton, Fred Hampton, Sr. and Dr. Ron Karenga, all the way to the descendants of the 1950's and 60's Baby Boomer Generation of great Black leaders: Raymond Lee Washington, Sr. and Stanley "Big Tookie" Williams Both martyred and added their own efforts to the movement for Blacks, Fred Hampton, Jr., Melvin Hardy, Kevin "Good Buddy" Syvester, Louis and Michael Concepcion, and T. Manuel A.K.A. Capucino.

Book Synopsis Blue Rage, Black Redemption by : Stanley Tookie Williams
Download or read book Blue Rage, Black Redemption written by Stanley Tookie Williams and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2007-11-13 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gripping tale of personal revolution by a man who went from Crips co-founder to Nobel Peace Prize nominee, author, and antigang activist When his L.A. neighborhood was threatened by gangbangers, Stanley Tookie Williams and a friend formed the Crips, but what began as protection became worse than the original gangs. From deadly street fights with their rivals to drive-by shootings and stealing cars, the Crips' influence -- and Tookie's reputation -- began to spread across L.A. Soon he was regularly under police surveillance, and, as a result, was arrested often, though always released because the charges did not stick. But in 1981, Tookie was convicted of murdering four people and was sent to death row at San Quentin in Marin County, California. Tookie maintained his innocence and began to work in earnest to prevent others from following his path. Whether he was creating nationwide peace protocols, discouraging adolescents from joining gangs, or writing books, Tookie worked tirelessly for the rest of his life to end gang violence. Even after his death, his legacy continues, supported by such individuals as Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Snoop Dogg, Jesse Jackson, and many more. This posthumous edition of Blue Rage, Black Redemption features a foreword by Tavis Smiley and an epilogue by Barbara Becnel, which details not only the influence of Tookie's activism but also her eyewitness account of his December 2005 execution, and the inquest that followed. By turns frightening and enlightening, Blue Rage, Black Redemption is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and an invaluable lesson in how rage can be turned into redemption.

Book Synopsis The Ethics of Identity by : Kwame Anthony Appiah
Download or read book The Ethics of Identity written by Kwame Anthony Appiah and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2010-06-28 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, sexuality: in the past couple of decades, a great deal of attention has been paid to such collective identities. They clamor for recognition and respect, sometimes at the expense of other things we value. But to what extent do "identities" constrain our freedom, our ability to make an individual life, and to what extent do they enable our individuality? In this beautifully written work, renowned philosopher and African Studies scholar Kwame Anthony Appiah draws on thinkers through the ages and across the globe to explore such questions. The Ethics of Identity takes seriously both the claims of individuality—the task of making a life—and the claims of identity, these large and often abstract social categories through which we define ourselves. What sort of life one should lead is a subject that has preoccupied moral and political thinkers from Aristotle to Mill. Here, Appiah develops an account of ethics, in just this venerable sense—but an account that connects moral obligations with collective allegiances, our individuality with our identities. As he observes, the question who we are has always been linked to the question what we are. Adopting a broadly interdisciplinary perspective, Appiah takes aim at the clichés and received ideas amid which talk of identity so often founders. Is "culture" a good? For that matter, does the concept of culture really explain anything? Is diversity of value in itself? Are moral obligations the only kind there are? Has the rhetoric of "human rights" been overstretched? In the end, Appiah's arguments make it harder to think of the world as divided between the West and the Rest; between locals and cosmopolitans; between Us and Them. The result is a new vision of liberal humanism—one that can accommodate the vagaries and variety that make us human.

Download or read book City of Quartz written by Mike Davis and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2006-09-17 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new edition of the visionary social history of Los Angeles is “as central to the L.A. canon as anything that . . . Joan Didion wrote in the seventies” (New Yorker) No metropolis has been more loved or more hated. To its official boosters, “Los Angeles brings it all together.” To detractors, L.A. is a sunlit mortuary where “you can rot without feeling it.” To Mike Davis, the author of this fiercely elegant and wide- ranging work of social history, Los Angeles is both utopia and dystopia, a place where the last Joshua trees are being plowed under to make room for model communities in the desert, where the rich have hired their own police to fend off street gangs, as well as armed Beirut militias. In City of Quartz, Davis reconstructs L.A.’s shadow history and dissects its ethereal economy. He tells us who has the power and how they hold on to it. He gives us a city of Dickensian extremes, Pynchonesque conspiracies, and a desperation straight out of Nathaniel West—a city in which we may glimpse our own future mirrored with terrifying clarity. In this new edition, Davis provides a dazzling update on the city’s current status.
Book Synopsis Terrorist Recruitment in American Correctional Institutions by : Mark S. Hamm
Download or read book Terrorist Recruitment in American Correctional Institutions written by Mark S. Hamm and published by . This book was released on 2013-04-02 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are thousands of followers of non-Judeo-Christian faith groups in American correctional institutions. Research suggests that many of these prisoners began their incarceration with little or no religious calling, but converted during their imprisonment. According to the FBI, some of these prisoners may be vulnerable to terrorist recruitment. The purpose of this study is three-fold: (1) to collect baseline information on non-traditional religions in U.S. correctional institutions; (2) to identify the personal and social motivations for prisoners’ conversions to these faith groups; and (3) to assess the prisoners’ potential for terrorist recruitment. The study creates a starting point for more in-depth research on the relationship between prisoners’ conversion to non-traditional religions and extremist violence. Figure.

Download or read book Afro Asia written by Fred Ho and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2008-06-25 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With contributions from activists, artists, and scholars, Afro Asia is a groundbreaking collection of writing on the historical alliances, cultural connections, and shared political strategies linking African Americans and Asian Americans. Bringing together autobiography, poetry, scholarly criticism, and other genres, this volume represents an activist vanguard in the cultural struggle against oppression. Afro Asia opens with analyses of historical connections between people of African and of Asian descent. An account of nineteenth-century Chinese laborers who fought against slavery and colonialism in Cuba appears alongside an exploration of African Americans’ reactions to and experiences of the Korean “conflict.” Contributors examine the fertile period of Afro-Asian exchange that began around the time of the 1955 Bandung Conference, the first meeting of leaders from Asian and African nations in the postcolonial era. One assesses the relationship of two important 1960s Asian American activists to Malcolm X and the Black Panthers. Mao Ze Dong’s 1963 and 1968 statements in support of black liberation are juxtaposed with an overview of the influence of Maoism on African American leftists. Turning to the arts, Ishmael Reed provides a brief account of how he met and helped several Asian American writers. A Vietnamese American spoken-word artist describes the impact of black hip-hop culture on working-class urban Asian American youth. Fred Ho interviews Bill Cole, an African American jazz musician who plays Asian double-reed instruments. This pioneering collection closes with an array of creative writing, including poetry, memoir, and a dialogue about identity and friendship that two writers, one Japanese American and the other African American, have performed around the United States.

Book Synopsis White American Youth by : Christian Picciolini
Download or read book White American Youth written by Christian Picciolini and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As featured on Fresh Air and the TED stage, a stunning look inside the world of violent hate groups by a onetime white supremacist leader who, shaken by a personal tragedy, abandoned his destructive life to become an anti-hate activist. Raw, inspiring, and heartbreakingly candid, White American Youth explores why so many young people lose themselves in a culture of hatred and violence and how the criminal networks they forge terrorize and divide our nation. The story begins when Picciolini found himself stumbling through high school, struggling to find a community among other fans of punk rock music. There, he was recruited by a notorious white power skinhead leader and encouraged to fight with the movement to "protect the white race from extinction." Soon, he had become an expert in racist philosophies, a terror who roamed the neighborhood, quick to throw fists. When his mentor was sent to prison, sixteen-year-old Picciolini took over the man's role as the leader of an infamous neo-Nazi skinhead group. Seduced by the power he accrued through intimidation, and swept up in the rhetoric he had adopted, Picciolini worked to grow an army of extremists. He used music as a recruitment tool, launching his own propaganda band that performed at white power rallies around the world. But slowly, as he started a family of his own and a job that for the first time brought him face to face with people from all walks of life, he began to recognize the cracks in his hateful ideology. Then a shocking loss at the hands of racial violence changed his life forever, and Picciolini realized too late the full extent of the harm he'd caused. "Simultaneously horrifying and redemptive" (AlterNet), White American Youth examines how radicalism and racism can conquer a person's way of life and how we can work together to stop those ideologies from tearing our world apart. *An earlier edition of this book was published as Romantic Violence
