Then in marches Logan O’Connor, more annoyingly handsome than ever, turning all her plans upside down.

Download or read book Don t Touch My Hair written by Emma Dabiri and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2019-05-02 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Groundbreaking . . . a scintillating, intellectual investigation into black women and the very serious business of our hair, as it pertains to race, gender, social codes, tradition, culture, cosmology, maths, politics, philosophy and history' Bernardine Evaristo Straightened. Stigmatized. 'Tamed'. Celebrated. Erased. Managed. Appropriated. Forever misunderstood. Black hair is never 'just hair'. This book is about why black hair matters and how it can be viewed as a blueprint for decolonisation. Over a series of wry, informed essays, Emma Dabiri takes us from pre-colonial Africa, through the Harlem Renaissance, Black Power and on to today's Natural Hair Movement, the Cultural Appropriation Wars and beyond. We look everything from hair capitalists like Madam C.J. Walker in the early 1900s to the rise of Shea Moisture today, from women's solidarity and friendship to 'black people time', forgotten African scholars and the dubious provenance of Kim Kardashian's braids. The scope of black hairstyling ranges from pop culture to cosmology, from prehistoric times to the (afro)futuristic. Uncovering sophisticated indigenous mathematical systems in black hairstyles, alongside styles that served as secret intelligence networks leading enslaved Africans to freedom, Don't Touch My Hair proves that far from being only hair, black hairstyling culture can be understood as an allegory for black oppression and, ultimately, liberation.

Download or read book Stay written by Ian Newbegin and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-03-19 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a nutshell. Mind travel is a reality. Beings from all over the universe work together as operatives for the Inter Galactic Council to maintain peace. However, components of the original mind transfer device, which could also alter the mind permanently, have been found. The council fears that a crucial component containing the circuitry for the device has been seen on the planet Tishog and if it falls into the wrong hands, mind control would be a possibility, making it possible to change the course of history in favour of those in control of the device. The council, therefore, must retrieve it first to ensure universal safety. Frank Melton, a reluctant operative from Earth, teams up with other operatives to retrieve the missing piece. Opening. Bankrupt and remorseful, Frank Melton tries to get his life together, two years after losing his job. He decides to practice meditation to help him to relax and to guide his thoughts during the healing period. During this time, he has unexpected and unexplainable visions, which unnerve him at first, but after a series of ‘tests’ he comes to realize that the visions were indeed due to his mind being transferred to a host body on the planet, Trellin. He is forced to keep his involvement secret, since leaders on Earth were not aware of such advanced technology and it was thought by the council that such knowledge held by a developing planet may cause chaos. If he disclosed his involvement to anyone, his memory would be wiped of all participation. Closing. A sample of a drug that can render an operative ‘comatose’ is retrieved by an ‘all-Earth’ team of operatives. An operative known by Frank only as “Tolok” approaches Frank for support, should he need it when they return to earth. The mission is successful and Frank is asked by Howard and an elder from Trellin to save the incarcerated Tolok, since he had been without food for three days, kept alive only by his controller which was losing energy. However, Frank is not told the circumstances behind Tolok’s internment. Frank struggles with the non-committal manner exercised by Howard and the elder and begins to doubt whether he wants to continue to participate with the program. Saving Tolok adds fuel to his thoughts since Tolok proved to be a serial rapist and child molester. The three books on one page. Book one: Summarized above. Book two: Frank is still considering whether or not he wants to continue with the operative program when Howard, an intelligent robot, asks Frank to help save a fellow operative and friend, Tim, who had been rendered comatose on the planet, Tishog. As a consequence to Franks gallant action, he and Tim pair up for future operations which continue to be involved with finding the missing components of the ‘mind control’ device, though this time, they are up against more sophisticated and advanced communities. Frank also suspects that a friend, Gabrielle, is also an operative, but for who? Could she be working with the rival group, Deltrum, and enemy of the Intergalactic Council? Frank and Tim also become suspicious of the elders of Trellin, suspecting that they want the device for their own gain, but proof thus far has eluded them. Frank once again takes time away from the program to reconsider his involvement. Book three: Frank develops a ‘virus’ which effectively prevents his controller from reporting erroneous thoughts to the elders. He gains the trust of Gabrielle and with Tim, the three operatives foil a plot by the elders on Trellin to alter the minds of earth leaders (including the military) and to take control of the planet, since Trellins resources are depleted.

Book excerpt: An entertaining picture book that teaches the importance of asking for permission first as a young girl attempts to escape the curious hands that want to touch her hair. It seems that wherever Aria goes, someone wants to touch her hair.

Author-illustrator Sharee Miller takes the tradition of appreciation of black hair to a new, fresh, level as she doesn't seek to convince or remind young readers that their curls are beautiful -- she simply acknowledges black beauty while telling a fun, imaginative story.

Download or read book Notes to Jacqui written by Ronald A. Tomo Bs Mpa Ccp Cna and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-12 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " For years I have wanted to immortalize my thoughts as a handbook for my loving daughter Jacqui. A true testament to humanity and the ability to overcome challenges. Having been a polio survivor being stricken in 1953 at 7 months old, I had to learn much about survival, caring, adapting, loving, leading, and so much more. As one of the younger survivors of polio (vaccine came out a few months after I contracted this deadly and crippling disease) I naturally learned quickly about ""odds"" and statistics; which is to say they're meaningless if you are the one who falls on the wrong side of probability!!! I have survived many things in life and have achieved many things in life (polio survivors are known to be over achievers ... statistically of course). I have learned much along the way with both my successes and failures. The main thing I learned is how to beat the odds which turned out to be very simple; NEVER GIVE UP. This book is a compilation of various notes I want my daughter Jacqui to remember even when I'm long gone. My style of writing is free flowing for easy reading and understanding. The chapters in the book have no particular order be it chronological or otherwise. Instead they are in the order of my mood and inspiration at the time I sat down at my keyboard. I write from the heart as I approach all things in my life. My brain shows me the options but my heart makes the decision. This has proved to be a very effective approach and has made me successful in many ways. I live by a concept that I always knew but the great motivator Anthony Robbins coined or immortalized the best phrase that describes it all: ""Live with Passion."" So, buckle your seatbelts; put on your reading glasses; relax and enjoy. I waited and thought about this project for a long time so I hope you learn something and to my daughter, this is what I leave to you as the history of your dad and the ""guide to life according to Pops.""
