Download or read book Black for a Day written by Alisha Gaines and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2017-03-27 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1948, journalist Ray Sprigle traded his whiteness to live as a black man for four weeks. A little over a decade later, John Howard Griffin famously "became" black as well, traveling the American South in search of a certain kind of racial understanding. Contemporary history is littered with the surprisingly complex stories of white people passing as black, and here Alisha Gaines constructs a unique genealogy of "empathetic racial impersonation--white liberals walking in the fantasy of black skin under the alibi of cross-racial empathy. At the end of their experiments in "blackness," Gaines argues, these debatably well-meaning white impersonators arrived at little more than false consciousness. Complicating the histories of black-to-white passing and blackface minstrelsy, Gaines uses an interdisciplinary approach rooted in literary studies, race theory, and cultural studies to reveal these sometimes maddening, and often absurd, experiments of racial impersonation. By examining this history of modern racial impersonation, Gaines shows that there was, and still is, a faulty cultural logic that places enormous faith in the idea that empathy is all that white Americans need to make a significant difference in how to racially navigate our society.

Book excerpt: On August 16, 1938 in Kittanning, Pennsylvania, a tiny boy opened his mouth and cried for the first time. As Germany persecuted Jews and Orson Wells prepared for his infamous War of the Worlds radio program, Edgar Allen Moore began his life as the second of three boys in a Scottish-Irish family who nurtured an insatiable curiosity and a zest for adventure. In his entertaining memoir, Moore chronicles his journey from childhood to adulthood as he experienced variability, excitement, and satisfaction while working in five different professions. As Moore shares how he was influenced not only by the death of his mother at a young age, but also by a post-war cultural environment, he details how he managed to become successful despite living with the effects of attention deficit disorder, an then-unknown affliction that would not be diagnosed until later in life. As he narrates his adventures from college to military assignments to eventual employment, Moore provides a compelling glimpse into what it is like to look at each sunrise as a new opportunity. WOW, What a Day! shares one baby boomers narrative of what it was like to grow up amid the chaos of World War II and the subsequent years as he embarks on a journey of self-discovery and embraces enriching life experiences.

Download or read book What a Difference a Day Makes written by Steve Bergsman and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2023-10-30 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In What a Difference a Day Makes: Women Who Conquered 1950s Music, Steve Bergsman highlights the Black female artists of the 1950s, a time that predated the chart-topping girl groups of the early 1960s. Many of the singers of this era became wildly famous and respected, and even made it into the Rock ’n’ Roll Hall of Fame. However, there were many others, such as Margie Day, Helen Humes, Nellie Lutcher, Jewel King, and Savannah Churchill, who made one or two great records in the 1950s and then disappeared from the scene. The era featured former jazz and blues singers, who first came to prominence in the 1940s, and others who pioneered early forms of rock ’n’ roll. In a companion volume, Bergsman has written the history of white women singers of the same era. Although song styles were parallel, the careers of Black and white female singers of the period ran in very different directions as the decade progressed. The songs of African American vocalists like Dinah Washington and Etta James were segregated to the R&B charts or covered by pop singers in the early and mid-1950s but burst into prominence in the last part of the decade and well into the 1960s. White singers, on the other hand, excelled in the early 1950s but saw their careers decline with the advent of rock music. In this volume, Bergsman takes an encyclopedic look at both the renowned and the sadly faded stars of the 1950s, placing them and their music back in the spotlight.

Download or read book Yee haw What a New Day written by Dadang Kadarusman and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What makes this book to be so different is the fact that reading it will take everyone to a 'serious-but-fun journey' in order to find the way of how to develop a great career A-N-D at the same time also a good personal life. The very first questions everyone asks to him or her self each day would be: Whether I satisfy with my business or career successfulness? Whether that successfulness does not bother my Personal Life? Whether I wish a well-balanced life both in my Business-Career Life A-N-D my Personal Life? And since the questions are intended to ourselves, then we certainly know the true sincere answers. In short, everyone must be asking over: can I get BOTH my businesscareer A-N-D personal life successfully? There are so many people who succeeded to step up their career ladder, BUT failed to balance that successfulness with their personal high quality of life. There are so many people sacrificed their personal life to run for their career. On the other hand, there also are so many people whom seen to be having good personal life, BUT failed to develop their career. Your business-career successfulness is meaningless if you have to disregard your personal life. At the same time; making account of your personal life cannot give you a truly satisfaction if you fail to reach a good career or a success business. That's so serious! And what is the fun? Do you still remember the story about Sir Isaac Newton when he witnessed a natural event, while an apple fallen down the ground in the farm? In the eyes of most people, that event represents a very ordinary matter. Isn't it true that apple has been falling to the ground since the era of our ancestors' yore? Even, since the first time those apples exist. That's the way most people look into natural phenomena. By contrast, for Sir Isaac Newton, every natural event represents series of special messages, and encoding certain hiding secrets to the wellness of human being. Rather than thought like ordinary people did, Isaac Newton preferred to try to open his mind whereof what happened with that apple. And through that contemplative way, he could deliver a great masterpiece, which is: gravitation forces law. Is there anyone staying out of the law of gravitation force? No. That is one of masterworks inspired by natural phenomena. We may not be as analytical as Newton when witnessing something happened around us. But, it does not mean that we cannot find any lesson from the event. If we are willing to think and contemplate to find the lesson behind it, hence we will find its benefit to help us to build our better life. By the way, do you comprehend what is the philosophy of the cock's crow? What about the hum a bamboo clump croons? Or may be the dormant trees as we can easily find in autumn? Or the egg's shell? String beans? Tomatoes? Trumpet flowers? Have you met a guru told you about the philosophy of Banana Tree? Or the advice tried to convey by a clump of Aloe? Weird, eh?! Yes, this book is e-x-t-r-e-m-e-l-y weird. Thus you will find so many things that you never ever found, read, nor heard before. Anywhere. A-a. You may ask around: What makes the book beneficial for the readers in order to grab a Well-Balanced of BOTH their career A-N-D personal life. It is the fact that this book shows you; how to learn from natural events happened around you to experience and find the secret to make you strong, happy, alive, motivated, tough, unbreakable, enchanted..........like Newton did. And LINKS it to your actual daily life. BOTH in Personal Life A-N-D Business Career Life of yours. Not to mention: How to hear the Divine voice in your heart. In short, this book is covering four important areas in human being's daily life: (1) P

Download or read book One Day written by Gene Weingarten and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “One of the 50 Best Nonfiction Books of the Last 25 Years”—Slate On New Year’s Day 2013, two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Gene Weingarten asked three strangers to, literally, pluck a day, month, and year from a hat. That day—chosen completely at random—turned out to be Sunday, December 28, 1986, by any conventional measure a most ordinary day. Weingarten spent the next six years proving that there is no such thing. That Sunday between Christmas and New Year’s turned out to be filled with comedy, tragedy, implausible irony, cosmic comeuppances, kindness, cruelty, heroism, cowardice, genius, idiocy, prejudice, selflessness, coincidence, and startling moments of human connection, along with evocative foreshadowing of momentous events yet to come. Lives were lost. Lives were saved. Lives were altered in overwhelming ways. Many of these events never made it into the news; they were private dramas in the lives of private people. They were utterly compelling. One Day asks and answers the question of whether there is even such a thing as “ordinary” when we are talking about how we all lurch and stumble our way through the daily, daunting challenge of being human.
