Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lively, subversive history of the new UK jazz wave, encapsulating its revolutionary spirit and tracing its foundations to birth of the genre itself. By the end of the last century, jazz music was considered by many to be obsolete and uncool, a genre appreciated only by out of touch white men with deeply questionable taste. And yet, by 2019, a new generation of UK jazz musicians was selling out major venues and appearing on festival line-ups around the world. How has UK jazz rehabilitated its image so totally in twenty-five years? And how did it ever become uncool in the first place? Reaching back to the roots of jazz as the 'unapologetic expression' of oppressed peoples, shaped by the forces of slavery, imperialism and globalisation, Andre ́ Marmot places this new wave within the wider context of a divided, postcolonial Britain navigating its identity in a new world order. These artists have crafted a sound which reflects the nation as it is today - a sound connected to the very origins of jazz itself. Drawing on eighty-six interviews with key architects of this jazz renaissance and those who came before them - from Shabaka Hutchings, Nubya Garcia and Moses Boyd to Gilles Peterson, Courtney Pine and Cleveland Watkiss - Unapologetic Expression captures the radical spirit of a vital British musical movement.

Book excerpt: From 1955-65 the historian Eric Hobsbawm took the pseudonym 'Francis Newton' and wrote a monthly column for the New Statesman on jazz - music he had loved ever since discovering it as a boy in 1933 ('the year Adolf Hitler took power in Germany'). Hobsbawm's column led to his writing a critical history, The Jazz Scene (1959). This enhanced edition from 1993 adds later writings by Hobsbawm in which he meditates further 'on why jazz is not only a marvellous noise but a central concern for anyone concerned with twentieth-century society and the twentieth-century arts.' 'All the greats are covered in passing (Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday), while further space is given to Duke Ellington, Ray Charles, Thelonious Monk, Mahalia Jackson, and Sidney Bechet ... Perhaps Hobsbawm's tastiest comments are about the business side and work ethics, where his historian's eye strips the jazz scene down to its commercial spine.' Kirkus Reviews

Book excerpt: A manifesto from one of America's most influential activists which disrupts political, economic, and social norms by reimagining the Black Radical Tradition. Drawing on Black intellectual and grassroots organizing traditions, including the Haitian Revolution, the US civil rights movement, and LGBTQ rights and feminist movements, Unapologetic challenges all of us engaged in the social justice struggle to make the movement for Black liberation more radical, more queer, and more feminist. This book provides a vision for how social justice movements can become sharper and more effective through principled struggle, healing justice, and leadership development. It also offers a flexible model of what deeply effective organizing can be, anchored in the Chicago model of activism, which features long-term commitment, cultural sensitivity, creative strategizing, and multiple cross-group alliances. And Unapologetic provides a clear framework for activists committed to building transformative power, encouraging young people to see themselves as visionaries and leaders.

Book excerpt: A savvy witch’s guidebook on strengthening their innate capacity to speak the symbolic language of the universe and trusting their inner knowing—their intuwitchin. From the founder of Witch School Mia Magik comes a guide to what she calls IntuWitchin. There’s a key difference between intuition and IntuWitchin. While they both come from within us, IntuWitchin involves our innate capacity to learn and fluently speak the symbolic language of the Universe. It allows us to receive information from every animal or number, any part of our body, dreams, conversations, and more. We’ve all been told to follow our intuition, but IntuWitchin shows you how. It means reclaiming your magik to see how the world around you is always communicating with you and letting you know which way to go. IntuWitchin makes you your own teacher, guide, healer, and hero of your story. Putting the Witch in IntuWitchin supports you in owning your witchiness—how your wisdom expresses through you—and synergizing that unique essence with the magik of the world all around you. The book describes how to tap into your Intuwitchin and apply it in your life with rituals, magikal practices, journaling prompts, and chapters on: Reclaiming the witch wound in order to move forward in courage and empowerment Understanding signs and symbols from the Universe Divination tools like astrology, tarot, numerology, and color magik Recognizing how your body speaks to you Incorporating the wisdom of the elements into your magik

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her teenage years, Katherine Moore Davis felt that something was missing in her life. In Chasing the Early Church Experience, she details her search for the missing link. By asking questions and exploring a wide range of sources - books, cassette tapes, cds, etc. Dr. Katherine shares a close up glimpse into the life of the poster child of a defeated Christian. Her quest took her to many places and before many people. Ultimately, she found the answers in the greatest book of all time: the Bible. In her search, Dr. Katherine discovered the secret of the early church—one that she now outlines for others to learn. She identifies areas and practices that the early church modeled and that can be used today to achieve a successful lifestyle. She also explores great exploits of the early church while following Jesus, the Head of the church. By tracing the pattern of the early church found in the book of Acts, Dr. Katherine commits fully to restoring Fivefold Ministry to the Body of Christ. This study presents an examination of early church practices that can be used in the modern world to revive our spiritual lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The only comprehensive encyclopedia on the subject of women in higher education. America's first wave of feminists—Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and others—included expanded opportunities for higher education in their Declaration of Sentiments at the first Women's Rights Convention in Seneca Falls, New York, in l848. By then, the first American institutions to educate women had been founded, among them, Mt. Holyoke Seminary, in l837. However, not until after the Civil War did most universities admit women—and not for egalitarian purposes. War casualties had caused a drop in enrollment and the states needed teachers. Women students paid tuition, but, as teachers, were paid salaries half that of men. By the late 20th century, there were more female than male students of higher education, but women remained underrepresented at the higher levels of educational leadership and training. This volume covers everything from historical and cultural context and gender theory to women in the curriculum and as faculty and administrators.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the depiction of the Delta region of Nigeria through literature and other cultural art forms. The Niger Delta has been thrust into the global limelight due to resource extraction and conflict, but it is also a region with a rich culture, environment, and heritage. The creative imagination of the area’s artists has been fuelled by the area’s pressing concerns of indigenous peoples, minority discourse, environmental degradation, climate change, multinational corporations' greed, dictatorship, and people’s struggle for control of their resources. Taking a holistic approach to the Niger Delta experience, this book showcases artistic responses from literature, visual arts, and performances (such as masquerades, dances, and festivals). Chapters cover authors, artists, and performers such as Ben Okri, Ken Saro-Wiwa, Isidore Okpewho, J.P. Clark, and Bruce Onobrakpeya, as well as topics like the famous Benin bronze figures and Urhobo Udje dance. Affirming the wealth and diversity of the region which continues to inspire creative artistic productions, The Literature and Arts of the Niger Delta will be of interest to researchers of African literature, arts, and other cultural productions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Companion to Performance Philosophy is a volume of especially commissioned critical essays, conversations, collaborative, creative and performative writing mapping the key contexts, debates, methods, discourses and practices in this developing field. Firstly, the collection offers new insights on the fundamental question of how thinking happens: where, when, how and by whom philosophy is performed. Secondly, it provides a plurality of new accounts of performance and performativity – as the production of ideas, bodies and knowledges – in the arts and beyond. Comprising texts written by international artists, philosophers and scholars from multiple disciplines, the essays engage with questions of how performance thinks and how thought is performed in a wide range of philosophies and performances, from the ancient to the contemporary. Concepts and practices from diverse geographical regions and cultural traditions are analysed to draw conclusions about how performance operates across art, philosophy and everyday life. The collection both contributes to and critiques the philosophy of music, dance, theatre and performance, exploring the idea of a philosophy from the arts. It is crucial reading material for those interested in the hierarchy of the relationship between philosophy and the arts, advancing debates on philosophical method, and the relation between Performance and Philosophy more broadly.

Book excerpt: The moon hung high in the midnight sky, casting an ethereal glow upon the deserted streets of Lourdes, a small town tucked away in the heart of the French countryside. Simone Delacroix, a young woman burdened by an unyielding sense of emptiness, wandered through the winding alleys, her footsteps echoing in the silence of the night. In the shadows, the remnants of shattered glass littered the cobblestones, a stark reflection of the broken pieces of Simone's own life. Her once-vibrant spirit had been fractured by the weight of expectations and the suffocating conformity of her existence. Trapped in a cycle of pleasing others, she had lost touch with the true essence of her being. A peculiar mirror caught Simone's attention, standing alone in a dimly lit corner of an antiquities shop. Its ornate frame seemed to beckon to her, whispering secrets from ages long past. As she approached, an irresistible pull drew her closer, and before she knew it, she stood before the mirror, mesmerized by her own reflection. But what she saw was not the familiar face she had grown accustomed to. Instead, a stranger stared back at her—a woman with fiery eyes that mirrored her own inner turmoil, with wild, untamed hair that mirrored her desire for freedom. It was a reflection that spoke of hidden depths and untapped potential, of a dormant power waiting to be awakened. A surge of curiosity and longing coursed through Simone's veins. With trembling hands, she reached out and touched the mirror's surface. In that instant, the world around her seemed to shift and dissolve, giving way to a realm beyond her wildest imagination.

Book excerpt: With so many social challenges facing our world, trying to effect change feels daunting. The problems are complex, the politics murky, and the players innumerable. Yet, every day there are regular heroes making a significant impact on our most intractable social issues. “Can’t Not Do” is a catchphrase for the urge that captures the heart of effective social change agents—explaining, in their own words, their passion and drive: “I can’t not do this.” “It’s not that I can do this, it’s that I can’t not.” “I could not imagine not doing something about this issue.” The surprising truth from the trenches is: we already have numerous proven solutions for our many social challenges; what our world needs most, and what most changes our children’s future, are more people prepared and committed to act on their social impulses for the long haul. Innovation helps. Money helps, too. But greater numbers of committed people help the most. If you feel an internal, persistent call to do more for the world, Can’t Not Do will help you to bridge the gap between “wanting to do” and “doing”—to access the drive of an effective change agent, to break through self-imposed barriers, to learn key principles for success, and to start seeing yourself acting as a change agent. There is no “secret sauce” someone is born with and no special club needed to be successful at social change. Rather, successful change agents share some fundamental orientations to the world and to their committed cause and, over time, learn certain lessons that help them become more effective. These lessons are reflected in Can’t Not Do in seven seemingly simple questions that provide guideposts and unlock the reader’s potential to make a difference for a social cause they care about. This isn’t a self-help book. It’s an inspiring narrative intertwined with a “street-readiness” dialogue, between the author and you, between you and your inner aspirations. These are authentic success stories, vital questions, and unconventional answers that can guide and inspire you to realize your greatest potential.
