Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A move at age ten from a Detroit suburb to Chattanooga in 1984 thrusts Anjali Enjeti into what feels like a new world replete with Confederate flags, Bible verses, and whiteness. It is here that she learns how to get her bearings as a mixed-race brown girl in the Deep South and begins to understand how identity can inspire, inform, and shape a commitment to activism. Her own evolution is a bumpy one, and along the way Enjeti, racially targeted as a child, must wrestle with her own complicity in white supremacy and bigotry as an adult. The twenty essays of her debut collection, Southbound, tackle white feminism at a national feminist organization, the early years of the AIDS epidemic in the South, voter suppression, gun violence and the gun sense movement, the whitewashing of southern literature, the 1982 racialized killing of Vincent Chin, social media’s role in political accountability, evangelical Christianity’s marriage to extremism, and the rise of nationalism worldwide. In our current era of great political strife, this timely collection by Enjeti, a journalist and organizer, paves the way for a path forward, one where identity drives coalition-building and social change.

Download or read book Alice Steer Wilson written by Janice Wilson Stridick and published by Southbound Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost forty years after artist Alice Steer Wilson (1926-2001) wrote a message on the back of one of her paintings, this book offers an intimate view of her art. She enjoyed an undisputed role in the renaissance of Cape May, New Jersey. Known as "Mrs. Cape May," Wilson painted en plein air to capture the changing light on Victorian cottages, inns and hotels. She was hailed as a patron of preservationists and a colorist who conveyed the intrinsic character of a seaside resort fallen on hard times. This catalogue presents over 220 images from her career and invites the reader into an intimate view of the painter's life. It is the first publication of this scope, from the inside view of the artist's daughter and collaborator, the writer Janice Wilson Stridick. 128 pages, 229 illustrations, 208 in color
Download or read book Southbound Traveler written by James March and published by . This book was released on 2017-08-26 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weddings scheduled around a college football team's bye week. Children taken out of school on Fridays so their family can attend away games. Public officials who win or lose elections based on their college affiliation. Welcome to life in the Southeastern Conference (SEC), the most fanatical family in college football, if not all of college sports. In the fall of 2014, self-professed Notre Dame super fan James March left his home in Chicago to discover for himself what the SEC was really like. 10,000 miles, eighteen games, and four months later, the result was Southbound Traveler, a candid first-person account from the front lines of a unique American subculture. Along his journey March meets a mix of unforgettable characters including fratty elites with mop top comb-overs; friendly good ol' boys in overalls who use cuss words like punctuation; transplants who swear you don't have to be born in the South to be a real fan; and families so divided by rooting interests that every holiday dinner is a war of attrition. Part memoir and part cultural exploration, Southbound Traveler examines what makes sports fanaticism so alluring in the first place-and why the game of football means so much to so many across the South.

Book excerpt: What is a monument? How do we make them and where do we put them? Who decides what gets remembered and how does it shape the narrative of our history? I spent a semester thinking pretty deeply about these questions as a research fellow for Monument Lab-a public art and history project that asked these critical inquiries on a citywide scale. At ten lab sites across Philadelphia, Monument Lab aimed to engage anyone and everyone who wanted to be part of this conversation. The prompt: "What is an appropriate monument for the current city of Philadelphia?"I worked at my lab site each week, posting up in a public space, hoping Philadelphians would want to talk. And they did. Everyone I spoke to had a story, and they all wanted to be heard. Ranging from hilarious to heartbreaking, the laughter and tears of those strangers has taught me a lot about our need to be heard. To be authentically listened to.We'd do our best to capture their stories and monument ideas on proposal forms. About 5,000 were collected across the city. They were hand-drawn and written by people who celebrated and mourned things that were important to them, who cared and remembered in their own personal ways. After the exhibition wrapped, I would spend hours poring through these proposals. Not because I had to, but because they were absolutely captivating. Their sketches and scribbled words captured people's lives, values, and meanings in a uniquely powerful way.I felt connections to proposals that reflected my own personal stories. It made me think about our shared meanings with the strangers of our city. We may pass on a crowded street or sit next to each other on the subway. Or we may never step foot into each other's neighborhoods despite being only a few miles apart. We may be decades apart in age and worlds apart in experience. But we do share Philadelphia. And what this city means to us can sometimes overlap and unite us.So that's where this project began. At the intersection of personal stories and shared places. More questions emerged. How do our personal histories shape "official history"? If we don't write our stories down, how will be they be remembered? What is important to me? What do I want to be heard and remembered?These are my Philadelphia stories, mapped from North to South along the Broad Street Line. The stops I've chosen mean something to me. They're the streets and parts of the city that hold my Philadelphia memories. They have been the sites of some of the most beautifully ordinary moments of my life.At the end of each of stop's story is a Monument Lab proposal, as submitted by a stranger. The location of each proposal sometimes sits far from the location of my story, but the meaning of each is shared. Across zip codes and gender and race and age, this common ground threads us together. Our meanings and our city connect us.This is my monument to Philadelphia.
Download or read book Through Darkness to Light written by Jeanine Michna-Bales and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2017-03-28 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They left in the middle of the night—often carrying little more than the knowledge to follow the North Star. Between 1830 and the end of the Civil War in 1865, an estimated one hundred thousand slaves became passengers on the Underground Railroad, a journey of untold hardship, in search of freedom. In Through Darkness to Light: Photographs Along the Underground Railroad, Jeanine Michna-Bales presents a remarkable series of images following a route from the cotton plantations of central Louisiana, through the cypress swamps of Mississippi and the plains of Indiana, north to the Canadian border— a path of nearly fourteen hundred miles. The culmination of a ten-year research quest, Through Darkness to Light imagines a journey along the Underground Railroad as it might have appeared to any freedom seeker. Framing the powerful visual narrative is an introduction by Michna-Bales; a foreword by noted politician, pastor, and civil rights activist Andrew J. Young; and essays by Fergus M. Bordewich, Robert F. Darden, and Eric R. Jackson.
Download or read book Southbound written by Scott B. Bomar and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of the architects of rock and roll in the 1950s, including Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Little Richard, were Southerners who were rooted in the distinctive regional traditions of country, blues, and R&B. As the impact of the British Invasion and the psychedelic era faded at the end of the following decade, such performers as Bob Dylan and the Band returned to the simplicity of American roots music, paving the way for Southern groups to reclaim their region's rock-and-roll heritage. Embracing both Southern musical traditions and a long-haired countercultural aesthetic, such artists as the Allman Brothers Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd forged a new musical community that Charlie Daniels called “a genre of people more than a genre of music.” Focusing primarily on the music's golden age of the 1970s, Southbound profiles the musicians, producers, record labels, and movers and shakers that defined Southern rock, including the Allmans, Skynyrd, the Marshall Tucker Band, Wet Willie, the Charlie Daniels Band, Elvin Bishop, the Outlaws, the Atlanta Rhythm Section, .38 Special, ZZ Top, and many others. From the rise and fall of the mighty Capricorn Records to the music's role in helping Jimmy Carter win the White House and to its continuing legacy and influence, this is the story of Southern rock.

Download or read book The Elephant in the Room written by Tommy Tomlinson and published by Simon & Schuster. This book was released on 2020-01-14 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ONE OF NPR’S BEST BOOKS OF 2019 A “warm and funny and honest…genuinely unputdownable” (Curtis Sittenfeld) memoir chronicling what it’s like to live in today’s world as a fat man, from acclaimed journalist Tommy Tomlinson, who, as he neared the age of fifty, weighed 460 pounds and decided he had to change his life. When he was almost fifty years old, Tommy Tomlinson weighed an astonishing—and dangerous—460 pounds, at risk for heart disease, diabetes, and stroke, unable to climb a flight of stairs without having to catch his breath, or travel on an airplane without buying two seats. Raised in a family that loved food, he had been aware of the problem for years, seeing doctors and trying diets from the time he was a preteen. But nothing worked, and every time he tried to make a change, it didn’t go the way he planned—in fact, he wasn’t sure that he really wanted to change. In The Elephant in the Room, Tomlinson chronicles his lifelong battle with weight in a voice that combines the urgency of Roxane Gay’s Hunger with the intimacy of Rick Bragg’s All Over but the Shoutin’. He also hits the road to meet other members of the plus-sized tribe in an attempt to understand how, as a nation, we got to this point. From buying a Fitbit and setting exercise goals to contemplating the Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas, America’s “capital of food porn,” and modifying his own diet, Tomlinson brings us along on a candid and sometimes brutal look at the everyday experience of being constantly aware of your size. Over the course of the book, he confronts these issues head-on and chronicles the practical steps he has to take to lose weight by the end. “What could have been a wallow in memoir self-pity is raised to art by Tomlinson’s wit and prose” (Rolling Stone). Affecting and searingly honest, The Elephant in the Room is an “inspirational” (The New York Times) memoir that will resonate with anyone who has grappled with addiction, shame, or self-consciousness. “Add this to your reading list ASAP” (Charlotte Magazine).
