Book excerpt: A gritty, graphic, and gripping expose of the underworld and its inhabitants,It's All Good-presented here as an updated, 10th anniversary edition featuring a new edit and 40 never-before-seen photographs from the series of Boogie's widely acclaimed first monograph (Miss Rosen Editions/powerHouse Books, 2006)-chronicles the predators and the prey of New York City's drug game at the start of the new millennium.Shot in New York's most notorious neighborhoods-Bushwick, Bedford-Stuyvesant, and Queensbridge-Boogie gained intimate access into a world few dare to venture, a world closed to outsiders, a world of crackheads, junkies, and gangsters. From the cops patrolling the project roofs to the addicts overdosing on the streets,It's All Goodcaptures urban life in stark, heart-stopping images and intense testimonials. Boogie brings us to a place few will escape, a place where the exit is one rock, one shot, one glock away. "Ten years ago, when I was working on the original It's All Good, I never did contact sheets; I didn't even own a lightbox. I would look at the negative sheet by the light of the window and choose a couple of images to scan. Over the years, I realized how many images I missed, so many that should've been in the book from the beginning. Istill don't own a lightbox, but ten years ofeditingexperience counts for something!" -Boogie "A whole lot of initiations happen every day. You hear about them on the news, but you don't know it was an initiation. You hear about somebody getting shot somewhere in New York, and nobody knows why that person got shot; nine times out of ten it was a gang initiation. I am a three-star general in the Bloods, so I know what's going on. The majority of crime in New York City is 'cause of gangs; drugs, killings, stabbings, robberies, even the bullshit car theft, the fucking pettiest crimes and misdemeanors are all 'cause of gangs." -Kasino, from his testimonial inIt's All Good

Download or read book Faithful Vision written by James W. Coleman and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2009-08-01 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is a marvelous and sustained discussion of 'faithful vision' and its significant influence on African American literature." -- American Literature In Faithful Vision, James W. Coleman places under his critical lens a wide array of African American novels written during the last half of the twentieth century. In doing so, he demonstrates that religious vision not only informs black literature but also serves as a foundation for black culture generally. The Judeo-Christian tradition, according to Coleman, is the primary component of the African American spiritual perspective, though its syncretism with voodoo/hoodoo -- a religion transported from West Africa through the West Indies and New Orleans to the rest of black America -- also figures largely. Reviewing novels written mainly since 1950 by writers including James Baldwin, Randall Kenan, Toni Morrison, John Edgar Wideman, Alice Walker, Gloria Naylor, Erna Brodber, and Ishmael Reed, among others, Coleman explores how black authors have addressed the relevance of faith, especially as it relates to an oppressive Christian tradition. He shows that their novels -- no matter how critical of the sacred or supernatural, or how skeptical the characters' viewpoints -- ultimately never reject the vision of faith. With its focus on religious experience and tradition and its wider discussion of history, philosophy, gender, and postmodernism, Faithful Vision brings a bold critical dimension to African American literary studies. "An insightful interrogation of the complexities of religious discourse in the African American literary tradition. Because it superbly translates complex spiritual ethos into literary tradition, this remarkable book is a must for anyone interested in intersections of the sacred and the secular in black cultural productions." -- Southern Literary Journal "Faithful Vision both looks intently into faith and shows us how to look." -- Christianity and Literature
Download or read book Shawty Got A Thang For Them Country Boys written by Natisha Raynor and published by Sullivan Group Publishing. This book was released on 2018-07-01 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sundy Cumberland watched her mother be a kept woman her entire life. When one relationship ended, her mother would be on to the next man, and with each man came a new baby. No one thought twice, when Sundy met Paper soon after she graduated from high school and he began taking care of her. Being a kept woman was all good until one night, Sundy literally walked into a situation that almost claimed her life. In the blink of an eye, Paper was gone and so was her livelihood. Not sure what else to do, but knowing she wanted revenge on the people that cost her, her old life, Sundy moved to North Carolina to regroup and get her money right so she could go back to New York and distribute street justice to the men that violated. Sundy finds more than peace of mind and money in North Carolina, she also finds a real man. Tavoris 'Ugly' Boone, makes everyone do a double take. Chocolate and handsome are only a few of the words that so accurately describe him, but when people hear his nickname, they can't believe it. How can something so beautiful be called Ugly? The name doesn't bother Tavoris however. He's well known and well respected in Raleigh, as the cool dude from Memphis, Tennessee with the thick country accent. Being on the run from charges and wanting to be a positive force in his son's life, keeps Ugly from being too deep in the streets. He does just enough to make sure his son doesn't want for anything, but when he meets a gorgeous, feisty, shawty from New York, she turns him on to a lick that fattens his pockets. The more the two are around each other, the more they fall for each other, but Sundy has unfinished business and as long as it's unfinished, she can't start anything new, or can she?
Download or read book Rock the Nation written by Roberto Avant-Mier and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-05-06 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rock the Nation analyzes Latino/a identity through rock 'n' roll music and its deep Latin/o history. By linking rock music to Latinos and to music from Latin America, the author argues that Latin/o music, people, and culture have been central to the development of rock music as a major popular music form, in spite of North American racial logic that marginalizes Latino/as as outsiders, foreigners, and always exotic. According to the author, the Latin/o Rock Diaspora illuminates complex identity issues and interesting paradoxes with regard to identity politics, such as nationalism. Latino/as use rock music for assimilation to mainstream North American culture, while in Latin America, rock music in Spanish is used to resist English and the hegemony of U.S. culture. Meanwhile, singing in English and adopting U.S. popular culture allows youth to resist the hegemonic nationalisms of their own countries. Thus, throughout the Americas, Latino/as utilize rock music for assimilation to mainstream national culture(s), for resistance to the hegemony of dominant culture(s), and for mediating the negotiation of Latino/a identities.
Download or read book Piano Theory Level 4 written by Mary Elizabeth Clark and published by Alfred Music. This book was released on with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Theory Books of the DAVID CARR GLOVER PIANO LIBRARY are written in "programed instruction" style, one of the most effective means of learning in modern education. Programed instruction is based on three generally accepted principles: 1. The material is presented in small steps called "frames." 2. The student makes an immediate written response to each frame so that his learning is constantly checked. 3. The student knows if his answer is correct. The Theory Books are written for the Preparatory Age piano student. However, the fundamentals of music are presented in a logical order making the books useful for any beginner. The Theory books are correlated to the DAVID CARR GLOVER PIANO LIBRARY, but can be used with any course on music of this level of advancement.
