Download or read book In Pursuit Of Revolutionary Love written by Joy James and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2022-12-20 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Joy James's Revolutionary Love is umph-degree love; or love beyond measure. It is anything love. It is love without reckoning. It is love that dares all things, beyond which others may find the spirit-force to survive; to live to fight another day. Such love is also fighting itself, for the sake of ensuring that others may live.' - Mumia Abu-Jamal Violence is arrayed against us because we're Black, or female, or queer, or undocumented. There is no rescue team coming for us. With that knowledge, we need a different operational base to recreate the world. It is not going to be a celebrity savior. Never was, never will be. If you're in a religious tradition that is millennia-old, consider how the last savior went out. It was always going to be bloody. It was always going to be traumatic. But there's a beauty to facing the reality of our lives. Not our lives as they're broken apart, written about, and then sold back to us in academic or celebrity discourse. But our lives as we understand them. The most important thing is showing up. Showing up and learning how to live by and with others, learning how to reinvent ourselves in this increasing wasteland. That's the good life. Foreword by Da'Shaun L. Harrison. Afterword by Mumia Abu-Jamal.

Download or read book The Pledge Class Of 1969 written by Carson R. Yeager and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-05-04 with total page 613 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To quote John Lennon, "Imagine." Imagine eighteen-year-old Holden Caulfield, Richie Cunningham, Otter, Bluto, Archie McNally, and Kramer all thrown backward or forward in time to the summer of 1969. Imagine if, unknown to one another, they each blindly pledge to a ruckus fraternity house at a conservative and highly respected Midwestern university. Imagine their metamorphosis from innocent and naive high school graduates with lofty aspirations to rude, crude, and socially unacceptable frat rats. Imagine their creative, illogical, and often just plain stupid adventures as they fully take advantage of their newfound freedom and the total lack of respect and responsibility of college life. Imagine a pledge class that suffers together and sticks together until visited by the Grim Reaper. Imagine Marlo Thomas, Mary Tyler Moore, Ann-Margret, Shelley Fabares, Sandra Dee, and Annette Funicello as prudish and scholastically focused coeds attempting to cohabitate the same campus as the men of Sigma Mu. Imagine their potential transformation during the age of Aquarius into respectable and successful young adults. You may say I'm a dreamer, but what you are about to read is based on actual events (kind of). Enjoy!

Download or read book Funk written by Rickey Vincent and published by St. Martin's Griffin. This book was released on 2014-11-04 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Funk: It's the only musical genre ever to have transformed the nation into a throbbing army of bell-bottomed, hoop-earringed, rainbow-Afro'd warriors on the dance floor. Its rhythms and lyrics turned bleak urban realties inside out with distinctive, danceable, downright irresistible music. Funk hasn't received the critical attention that rock, jazz, and the blues have-until now. Colorful, intelligent, and in-you-face, Rickey Vincent's Funk celebrates the songs, the musicians, the philosophy, and the meaning of funk. The book spans from the early work of James Brown (the Godfather of Funk) through today, covering funky soul (Stevie Wonder, the Temptations), so-called "black rock" (Jimi Hendrix, Sly and the Family Stone, the Isley Brothers), jazz-funk (Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock), monster funk (Parliament, Funkadelic, Bootsy's Rubber Band), naked funk (Rick James, Gap Band), disco-funk (Chic, K.C. and the Sunshine Band), funky pop (Kook & the Gang, Chaka Khan), P-Funk Hip Hop (Digital Underground, De La Soul), funk-sampling rap (Ice Cube, Dr. Dre), funk rock (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Primus), and more. Funk tells a vital, vibrant history-the history of a uniquely American music born out of tradition and community, filled with energy, attitude, anger, hope, and an irrepressible spirit.
