Download or read book The Record Players written by Bill Brewster and published by Grove/Atlantic, Inc.. This book was released on 2011-04-12 with total page 716 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the co-authors of the classic Last Night a DJ Saved My Life: A fascinating oral history of record spinning told by the groundbreaking DJs themselves. Acclaimed authors and music historians Bill Brewster and Frank Broughton have spent years traveling across the world to interview the revolutionary and outrageous DJs who shaped the last half-century of pop music. The Record Players is the fun and revealing result—a collection of firsthand accounts from the obsessives, the playboys, and the eccentrics that dominated the music scene and contributed to the evolution of DJ culture. In the sixties, radio tastemakers brought their sound to the masses, while early trendsetters birthed the role of the club DJ at temples of hip like the Peppermint Lounge. By the seventies, DJs were changing the course of popular music; and in the eighties, young innovators wore out their cross-faders developing techniques that turned their craft into its own form of music. With discographies, favorite songs, and amazing photos of all the DJs as young firebrands, The Record Players offers an unparalleled music education: from records to synthesizers, from disco to techno, and from influential cliques to arenas packed with thousands of dancing fans.

Book excerpt: H. Lynn Beck had no clue what to do after finishing his master’s degree in Vermont, so he applied to join the Peace Corps. Eventually, he was invited to work in Brazil, and he agreed to work in education in the state of Mato Grosso. He began counting down the days to the start of training. While his Portuguese consisted of ninety-five percent Spanish and five percent Portuguese, he managed to communicate. Working in the geographic center of South America, he felt as if he’d been dumped into a pressure cooker as it was so hot and humid. After thirty days in Cuiabá, he took a new position in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte. Even though it meant moving five hours away with more than a half-million people, it also gave him the chance to stay. Working at the state agricultural extension office, not much was expected of him, but he had an excuse to stay in Brazil for at least another two years, allowing him to learn the language and culture. Join the author as he travels rural roads, meets large rats and tarantulas, and makes friends while immersing himself in a rich culture.

Download or read book So You Think You re American written by Iriowen Thea Ojo and published by Author House. This book was released on 2014-07-22 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ekina was made in America with African parts, but unfortunately this has never made him indestructible. Precocious at ten years old, Ekina knows that physical strength won't help him fend off his overbearing parents, cruel teachers, and one-sided romance. It won't help him save his baby sister from their traditionally-misogynist father or protect his little brother from their mother's expectations either, although it might've helped him master an adagio--if he hadn't quit ballet class. Nigerian boys don't wear pointe shoes, and anyway, who does he think he is...an American? "So You Think You're American" is a novel about growing up in that world between foreign and native cultures. Poignant, funny, and sometimes hopelessly heartbreaking, "So You Think You're American" will evoke profound emotions, tears or laughter, in even the most stoic of readers.

Book excerpt: “When we lift every voice, we forge a deep and enduring connection to the past—and carve a tunnel of hope to a brighter future for us all.” -Oprah Winfrey “This book, above all else, is a reminder of where we have been and the debt we owe to those who came before. These Americans have not passed the torch, but are clasping it with us, urging us to continue the work alongside them,”-Nikole Hannah-Jones More than 50 elders share their remarkable experiences of being Black in America in a collection of powerful photographs and interviews For so long, too many stories that reveal what it means and feels like to be Black in America have been overlooked outside Black communities. After these long years of racial reckonings and nascent awakenings, Lift Every Voice presents interviews with the oldest generation of Black Americans about their lives, their experiences, and the wisdom that can carry all of us to a better future. The 54 fascinating individuals—civil rights activists, hometown heroes, celebrities, and many others—include: • Andre de Shields, an actor, director, and choreographer who discusses the essential values and lessons his parents taught him • Clarice Freeman, an educator and community leader in Houston, Texas who speaks about how to live a long and fulfilling life • Fred Gray, a civil rights lawyer who represented Rosa Parks and Claudette Colvin, also featured in the book, against disorderly conduct charges for their refusal to give up their bus seats to white passengers • Patti LaBelle a singer/songwriter who shares her thoughts on aging and her career as an internationally celebrated powerhouse singer • Faye Wattleton, a reproductive rights activist and the first African American and youngest president of Planned Parenthood who recounts her experience as a nurse and midwife in the 1960s The insightful interviews were conducted by a brilliant team, many of whom are rising Black journalists from historically Black colleges and universities, and the portraits were shot by a talented group of next generation Black photographers. Lift Every Voice is named after the James Weldon Johnson poem and hymn "Lift Every Voice and Sing," which is often referred to as the "Black national anthem." Lift Every Voice is both a testament to the strength of the elders’ stories and a triumphant beginning for a new generation of Black journalists and photographers.
