Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard Arlington has lived his life in the vortex of the inner city, a veteran landlord that knows the Hood. His story is an expose of racism that ravages the Black Community. This story will open many eyes! It will offend many racists! We live in a climate of intimidation, we are fearful of expressing the truth! Afraid of criticism. Afraid: The charge racism will be (The Label) stamped on our sole. This is a story of Black racism and the sad consequences that it has on the lives and well-being of far too many women and children of color. His opinions and knowledge of the minority views will melt the nylon in your socks! Ma Johnson (one of his tenants) had church services in her front parlor every Sunday. She was a Christian woman. She loved all of Gods children, even white ones! She called him the blue-eyed devil. He called her Ma. My Granny said: Racism is a stain on a mans soul. It was also at Grannys knee that fear was whispered into the millions of young ears. Beware of the boogieman. He is the devil and he is white.
Download or read book White on White written by Aysegül Savas and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-12-07 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A "marvelous" (Lauren Groff) and "gentle, mysterious and profound” (Marina Abramović) novel about a woman who has come undone. A student moves to the city to research Gothic nudes, renting an apartment from a painter, Agnes, who lives in another town with her husband. One day, Agnes arrives in the city and settles into the upstairs studio. In their meetings on the stairs, in the studio, at the corner café, the kitchen at dawn, Agnes tells stories of her youth, her family, her marriage, and ideas for her art - which is always just about to be created. As the months pass, it becomes clear that Agnes might not have a place to return to. The student is increasingly aware of Agnes's disintegration. Her stories are frenetic; her art scattered and unfinished, white paint on a white canvas. What emerges is the menacing sense that every life is always at the edge of disaster, no matter its seeming stability. Alongside the research into human figures, the student is learning, from a cool distance, about the narrow divide between happiness and resentment, creativity and madness, contentment and chaos. White on White is a sharp exploration of empathy and cruelty, and the stunning discovery of what it means to be truly vulnerable, and laid bare.

Download or read book The Young Landlords written by Walter Dean Myers and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1989-10-01 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you were looking for a real ghetto dump, you couldn’t beat The Stratford Arms. There was Askia Ben Kenobi throwing karate chops upstairs, Petey Darden making booze downstairs, and Mrs. Brown grieving for Jack Johnson, who’d died for the third time in a month—and not a rent payer in the bunch. Still, when Paul Williams and the Action Group got the Arms for one dollar, they thought they had it made. But when their friend Chris was arrested for stealing stereos and Dean’s dog started biting fire hydrants and Gloria started kissing, being a landlord turned out to be a lot more work than being a kid.

Book excerpt: "Landlord Colors: On Art, Economy, and Materiality reconsiders periods of economic and social collapse through the lens of artistic innovations and material-driven narratives. It examines five art scenes generated during heightened periods of upheaval: America’s Detroit from the 1967 rebellion to the present; the cultural climate of the Italian avant-garde during the 1960s-1980s; authoritarian-ruled South Korea of the 1970s; Cuba since the collapse of the Soviet Union in the 1990s to the present; and contemporary Greece since the financial crisis of 2009. Featuring more than sixty artists, Landlord Colors is a landmark exhibition, publication, and public art and performance series. While the project unearths microhistories and vernaculars specific to place, it also examines a powerful global dialogue communicated through materiality. Landlord Colors discovers textured and unexpected relationships between these artists whose investigations share themes of ingenuity, resourcefulness, and resistance." -- Cranbrook Art Museum website
