Book Synopsis Words to Make My Dream Children Live by : Deirdre Mullane
Download or read book Words to Make My Dream Children Live written by Deirdre Mullane and published by Anchor. This book was released on 1995 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1918, Joseph Seaman Cotter, Jr., a promising young African-American poet who later died at the age of twenty-four, published a poem in which he prayed, "O God, give me words to make my dream-children live!" In this collection of some two thousand quotations, Deirdre Mullane has taken Cotter's prayer to heart and gathered the most memorable quotes from a wide range of sources--poetry, folk songs, political speeches, autobiographies, stories, novels, interviews, and essays--to illustrate the amazing richness of the African-American written and oral tradition. From the earliest tracts against slavery to the poetry of Maya Angelou, African-Americans have tumed to language to record their experience and to sustain their souls. Barred from education for centuries, they used the spoken word to hand down their daily wisdom, their faith in God, and dreams of freedom and justice, until the establishment and survival of their own press during the 1800s enabled them to document the horrors of slavery and discrimination, to name the political and social realities they faced, as well as to celebrate the everyday joys of their lives. An ideal companion to African-American history, this extensive and varied collection of quotes, from political figures to poets, from jazz greats to boxers, will be an important resource for writers, journalists, public speakers, and parents seeking an educational gift for their children. The entries are arranged alphabetically by speaker, along with a brief biography of each source. Also included is a subject index that allows a reader to research quotations on specific topics, such as "freedom" or "dreams." Encyclopedic and inspirational,Words To Make My Dream Children Liverepresents the living legacy of the word, both spoken and written, for African-Americans everywhere.

Download or read book Language Is a Place of Struggle written by Tram Nguyen and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2008-12-01 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Language Is a Place of Struggle" is the first truly multiracial and polycultural quote book, collecting quotations from both historical and contemporary novelists and poets, activists and political leaders, and artists and musicians. Within these pages, readers will find wisdom, wit, and inspiration from Asian Americans, African Americans, Latinos, Arab Americans, American Indians, recent immigrants to the United States, and many others. With nearly fifteen hundred quotations, this exceptional book covers a broad spectrum: from insights on spirituality to words inciting social change and justice; from the impact of colonization, slavery, and racism to observations on gender, sexuality, and identity. The quotes show how people of color in the United States have been shaped by various community histories, ongoing political and cultural struggles, and personal evolutions. Each quote reflects three core themes from the histories of people of color in America: the significance of mass movements and the role of individuals within them; the vision that binds one society to another; and the foundational relationship between an evolving society and a changing self. Each chapter—Roots, Selves, Relationship, Work and Play, Making Change, and Inner Visions—adds to the larger story about people of color in the context of history, culture, and community. An invaluable tool for speechwriters, educators, ministers, and librarians that is accessibly organized for all readers, this entertaining and thought-provoking book is a much-needed resource for anyone interested in multicultural issues. Here you will find: Gloria Anzaldúa on borders and margins; Margaret Cho on failure and success; Edwidge Danticat on women who write; Junot Díaz on masculinity; Vine Deloria, Jr., on activism; Suheir Hammad on miscegenation and identity; bell hooks on identity and oppression; Edward P. Jones on the system of racism; Philip Vera Cruz on leadership; Chögyam Trungpa on spiritual materialism; and much more.
Book Synopsis Black Reconstruction in America (The Oxford W. E. B. Du Bois) by : W. E. B. Du Bois
Download or read book Black Reconstruction in America (The Oxford W. E. B. Du Bois) written by W. E. B. Du Bois and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-02-01 with total page 1134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: W. E. B. Du Bois was a public intellectual, sociologist, and activist on behalf of the African American community. He profoundly shaped black political culture in the United States through his founding role in the NAACP, as well as internationally through the Pan-African movement. Du Bois's sociological and historical research on African-American communities and culture broke ground in many areas, including the history of the post-Civil War Reconstruction period. Du Bois was also a prolific author of novels, autobiographical accounts, innumerable editorials and journalistic pieces, and several works of history. Black Reconstruction in America tells and interprets the story of the twenty years of Reconstruction from the point of view of newly liberated African Americans. Though lambasted by critics at the time of its publication in 1935, Black Reconstruction has only grown in historical and literary importance. In the 1960s it joined the canon of the most influential revisionist historical works. Its greatest achievement is weaving a credible, lyrical historical narrative of the hostile and politically fraught years of 1860-1880 with a powerful critical analysis of the harmful effects of democracy, including Jim Crow laws and other injustices. With a series introduction by editor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and an introduction by David Levering Lewis, this edition is essential for anyone interested in African American history.
