Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Showcases brilliant and experimental work in African American poetry. Just prior to the Second World War, and even more explosively in the 1950s and 1960s, a far-reaching revolution in aesthetics and prosody by black poets ensued, some working independently and others in organized groups. Little of this new work was reflected in the anthologies and syllabi of college English courses of the period. Even during the 1970s, when African American literature began to receive substantial critical attention, the work of many experimental black poets continued to be neglected. Every Goodbye Ain’t Gone presents the groundbreaking work of many of these poets who carried on the innovative legacies of Melvin Tolson, Gwendolyn Brooks, and Robert Hayden. Whereas poetry by such key figures such as Amiri Baraka, Tolson, Jayne Cortez, Clarence Major, and June Jordan is represented, this anthology also elevates into view the work of less studied poets such as Russell Atkins, Jodi Braxton, David Henderson, Bob Kaufman, Stephen Jonas, and Elouise Loftin. Many of the poems collected in the volume are currently unavailable and some will appear in print here for the first time. Coeditors Aldon Lynn Nielsen and Lauri Ramey provide a critical introduction that situates the poems historically and highlights the ways such poetry has been obscured from view by recent critical and academic practices. The result is a record of experimentation, instigation, and innovation that links contemporary African American poetry to its black modernist roots and extends the terms of modern poetics into the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "They said he was crazy, but he was merely mad, angry at the racist insanity he saw around him in the South of the '60s. They arrested him for fire-bombing a segregated toilet and put him away in a mental hospital, aptly named 'Limbo.' Released ten years later, he goes home to the housing projects of South Central Los Angeles, where he witnesses an entirely different kind of insanity--a black-on-black cruelty even more destructive than what he had gone south to protest."--Publisher's note on back cover

Download or read book Every Closed Eye Ain t Sleep written by Teresa Hill and published by R&L Education. This book was released on 2011-07-16 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every Closed Eye Ain't Sleep: African American Perspectives on the Achievement Gap examines the origins and perpetuation of the achievement gap from the perspective of the African American community. Instead of accepting the achievement gap as an inevitable matter of fact, Every Closed Eye Ain't Sleep questions the fundamental beliefs that perpetuate the gap. Drawing on dialogue with African American community members, Teresa Hill advances a framework for understanding a predominant African American view of the educational process. She then juxtaposes this framework with the norms perpetrated by the educational establishment to demonstrate how disagreements about the roles and responsibilities of parents, teachers and students affect community members' experiences in schools. Every Closed Eye Ain't Sleep opens a dialogue about the achievement gap on different terms, analyzes the gap as an issue of social justice, and provides educational leaders and policymakers with ways to engage in the productive dialogue necessary to improve education for African American children.

Download or read book All the Cowboys Ain t Gone written by John J. Jacobson and published by Blackstone Publishing. This book was released on 2021-02-23 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All the Cowboys Ain’t Gone is the rollicking adventure story of Lincoln Smith, a young Texan living at the beginning of the twentieth century, who thinks of himself as the last true cowboy. He longs for the days of the Old West, when men like his father, a famous Texas Ranger, lived by the chivalric code. Lincoln finds himself hopelessly out of time and place in the fast-changing United States of the new century. When he gets his heart broken by a sweetheart who doesn’t appreciate his anachronistic tendencies, he does what any sensible young romantic would do: he joins the French Foreign Legion. On his way to an ancient and exotic country at the edge of the Sahara, Lincoln encounters a number of curious characters and strange adventures, from a desert hermit who can slow up time to a battle with a crocodile cult that worships the god of death. He meets them all with his own charming brand of courage and resourcefulness.
Download or read book Ain t It Time We Said Goodbye written by Robert Greenfield and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 2014-05-13 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For ten days in March 1971, the Rolling Stones traveled by train and bus to play two shows a night in many of the small theaters and town halls where their careers began. No backstage passes. No security. No sound checks or rehearsals. And only one journalist allowed. That journalist now delivers a full-length account of this landmark event, which marked the end of the first chapter of the Stones' extraordinary career. Ain't It Time We Said Goodbye is also the story of two artists on the precipice of mega stardom, power, and destruction. For Mick and Keith, and all those who traveled with them, the farewell tour of England was the end of the innocence. Based on Robert Greenfield's first-hand account and new interviews with many of the key players, this is a vibrant, thrilling look at the way it once was for the Rolling Stones and their fans—and the way it would never be again.

Download or read book Improper Assembly of the Body of Christ written by Bishop J. G. Riles Sr. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2020-08-23 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Improper Assembly of the Body of Christ is a book written to challenge how the church today looks at, extracts, ingests, and dissects scripture, especially with our recipe used to congregate and formulate the assembling of the true church. This book is a strong reminder of the biblical protocol. As Jehovah stressed to Moses, “See that thou do all things according to the pattern shown thee in the Mount.” In this book, Bishop Riles seeks to reestablish biblical principles and truths. It is written to increase unity in the body of Christ and tear down and remove walls, barriers, and partisans never supposed to have been in the first place. It is to ensure that the blood of God’s truth circulates to the least extreme and remotest parts of the body of Christ. Pauper or king, Sunday stroller or Holy Roller, we must all strive to be the church of the faith, where everybody is welcome to take a seat. Some might be tempted to think that it is impossible to have unity—we are just too different! We come from different backgrounds and have different styles of praise and worship, we express ourselves differently, and we enjoy distinctively different things. You may ask, “Bishop, how in the world do you propose that we can be unified?” To achieve corporate unanimity, we must come to the understanding that unity is not “sameness or uniformity.” The Christian’s unity is a unity in diversity. Like Baskin-Robbins, we exhibit thirty-eight flavors and varieties. We can be different but not divided. We must learn not to compete or to compare but to celebrate our incompatibilities. God did not create the earth in just browns and earth tones. God views the world through a kaleidoscope. It is a beautiful bouquet. The church must be an array of multiplicity—multicolored and multicultural. The church is the “rainbow coalition.” God is calling his family in for suppertime. At suppertime, my mother’s rule was that she would never call us to eat at the table separately or individually. Instead, we all had to eat together at the same table at the same time or not eat at all. The church needs to be an accurate sample of unity and a proper example of what it truly means to unite and be a unit. If you dip a glass into the Pacific Ocean in California and you return to Texas with that glass of water, you cannot say you have the entire Pacific Ocean in a glass. But perhaps you have an accurate sample or a proper example of the Pacific Ocean in that glass. A cake, a pie, or even cornbread has many ingredients essential to the texture and flavor of the cornbread, pie, and cake. You cannot bake a pie or a cake with a cornbread recipe or with cornbread ingredients or bake cornbread with a pie or cake recipe or ingredients. In a cake recipe, all the ingredients are different, all the ingredients aren’t sweet or agreeable, but all ingredients are necessary for the success of delicious cake. Any ingredient alone is not a cake. Sugar alone does not constitute a pie or a cake. Flour, vanilla, eggs, or butter alone, independent of one another, does not make a pie or a cake or cornbread. It is not until you homogenize them and blend them—mix, mingle, marry, merge, scramble, and place them together in a hot oven—that they come together to make cake, pie, or cornbread. In this last hour, God is removing the walls, barriers, and partisans never supposed to have been there in the first place. God is scrambling up his church. He will keep on scrambling until you cannot tell where the yoke or the yellow begins and the white ends. He is going to scramble until we do not choose ministries based solely on race, culture, or ethnicity but based upon whether there is a move in that ministry. Like the black-and-white keys on a piano, the church belongs to all of us. It is time for us to go back to the Bible. God has given us his word to live by, and there is just no other way to please him.
