Only eight-years-old at the time, Marti can't remember what happened, just that Maggie got into a car and never returned.

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: "I believe in possibility. Of magic, of omens, of compasses, of love. Some of it's a little bit true." Sixteen-year-old Tal is a Wanderer—a grifter whose life is built around the sound of wheels on the road, the customs of her camp, and the artful scams that keep her fed. With her brother, Wen, by her side, it's the only life she's ever known. It's the only one she's ever needed. Then, in a sleepy Southern town, the queen of cons picks the wrong mark when she meets Spencer Sway—the clean-cut Socially Secured boy who ends up hustling her instead of the other way around. For the first time, she sees a reason to stay. As her obligations to the camp begin to feel like a prison sentence, the pull to leave tradition behind has never been so strong. But the Wanderers live by signs, and all the signs all say that Tal and Spencer will end disaster and grief. Is a chance at freedom worth almost certain destruction? Wandering Wild is an achingly romantic journey of tradition and self-discovery—a magical debut.

Download or read book Girl of Steel written by Melissa Wehler and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2020-03-06 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The CW's hit adaptation of Supergirl is a new take on the classic DC character for a new audience. With diverse female characters, it explores different versions of the female experience. No single character embodies a feminist ideal but together they represent attributes of the contemporary feminist conversation. This collection of new essays uses a similar approach, inviting a diverse group of scholars to address the many questions about gender roles and female agency in the series. Essays analyze how the series engages with feminism, Supergirl's impact on queer audiences, and how families craft the show's feminist narratives. In the ever-growing superhero television genre, Supergirl remains unique as viewers watch a female hero with almost godlike powers face the same struggles as ordinary women in the series.

Their lives and loves collide and intertwine in a kaleidoscope of pain, tragedy, longing and belonging. “In the end, it’s not who we love, but how we love, that matters.” . . When several sexual dalliances almost cost 29-year old international soccer player Jonah Aaron Lewis his life, he goes AWOL from top Italian Club Portovenere, and returns to the UK to seek refuge and reignite his ‘loveship-brothership’ with ex-soccer player now entrepreneur Damien Gillen, the only person to ever give him goosebumps, even though his mind and heart tries to deny it. Damien, on the other hand, has fallen instantly for ‘strictly no-strings’ single-mother of one and fiercely independent diva-book writer TV personality Rhea Nicole Appleton, after she interviews him about the sudden appearance of his mother thought dead for twenty-four years. Used to getting what he wants, Damien’s intention is to capture, and keep, this evading butterfly. Rhea Appleton has men representing her different seasons, preferring each for whatever quality they offer. Rhea has no time for the suffocation of love or the boundaries of her time. She’s involved with London Grime and Hip-Hop artist ‘Q’ and wealthy, older Italian businessman Gianni – Damien is set to add more flavour to the pot – until she looks into Damien’s diamond blue-green eyes. Rhea’s best friend, 28-year-old singer-songwriter Jade Trinity Moore-Meirelles, Trinity vowed never to sing another note after the abduction of her five-year-old brother in her care aged 13. On the verge of stardom, her singing career crashed. With mental health issues and a strained relationship with her teen son, deceived by a record producer, Trinity’s life evolves when her son brings home another teenaged boy, Jonah’s secret son.
