Download or read book Represent written by Chris Ceraso and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-03-25 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In their exposé of Gen Z, The New York Times qualified its members as the “most diverse generation in American history". Recent Broadway hits have found a successful formula in productions showcasing the emotional turmoil of contemporary young people, yet the majority of these works represent predominantly white voices, both in terms of authorship and representation. Non-white characters tend to exist only in a world of colorblind casting rather than speaking to their distinct racial and cultural heritage. This anthology helps correct that balance and presents a unique offering of plays written for multicultural teenagers by diverse authors who have spent a significant part of their careers working closely with young people in urban settings. The playwrights - among them award winners such as Chisa Hutchinson and Nilaja Sun - have created texts that are dramatic and comic, satirical and earnest, touchingly real, and amusingly surreal. Varying in length and format, suitable for classrooms and youth groups of all sizes, the plays address such themes as ethnic and cultural identity; ancestry and assimilation; bullying and self-empowerment; disenfranchisement and alienation; parental pressure to over-achieve, youth activism and community-building; and the very real perils of daily school life in an era of gun proliferation.

Book excerpt: So uh, what's your book about? Trying to teach. That's what I used to say. I'm not writing a book about teaching or theoretical practices or anything like that. I'm writing a book about my observational experiences as a high school english teacher. Don't worry, the 'e' in english has been left lowercase for a reason. 8AM to 4PM. Monday through Friday. Summers off. That was the plan. Thing is, those are really just naïve assumptions. This book, my book, this whole account of What Had Happened is about something else. It's hard to describe. You won't really know that until you read it. I didn't really know that until I wrote it. (CONTAINS EXPLICIT LANGUAGE)

Download or read book Sweet Tea written by E. Patrick Johnson and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 591 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Giving voice to a population too rarely acknowledged, Sweet Tea collects more than sixty life stories from black gay men who were born, raised, and continue to live in the South. E. Patrick Johnson challenges stereotypes of the South as "backward" or "repressive" and offers a window into the ways black gay men negotiate their identities, build community, maintain friendship networks, and find sexual and life partners--often in spaces and activities that appear to be antigay. Ultimately, Sweet Tea validates the lives of these black gay men and reinforces the role of storytelling in both African American and southern cultures.

Book excerpt: When John Burdick received his orders to ship to Vietnam in 1967, he was certain his life was over. His goal was to return to the United States alive and on his feet no matter what it took. He had been recruited by the military to become an intelligence agent, and for a college graduate student from California, it sounded intriguing. But serving in Vietnam would require all of his skills to stay alive. Dressed as a civilian and with little formal training, Burdick learned quickly and executed missions effectively. He fulfilled several purposes in Vietnam-from infiltrating the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army command infrastructure to searching for American prisoners of war. The war hit hard. The deaths of all the young men haunted him. He could trust no one, including the military establishment who tried to squash each success the intelligence personnel achieved. In A Sphinx, author John Burdick recounts a powerful and emotional narrative following his duty in the Vietnam War in the 1960s. It uncovers behind-the-scenes footage of a military intelligence agent and his quest to help more American soldiers come home alive.

Book excerpt: It only took a moment for it all to vanish, one spark to set fire to the world. The fears and paranoia of a single man spread like a plague through all humanity, aided by the stem. Only the Pukes were immune, those who'd refused implantation. Civilization burned. But in the commune of Bannock, life continues, safe behind high valley walls. The town stands as the last bastion of life in a world swarming with the undead. It was to Bannock that Elder and his fellow Pukes ran, as the world collapsed around them. In Bannock, they found refuge, food and peace. But the chaos of the world without still threatens the safety within: wild bands of Skinnies stumble into the valley, seeking easy prey, and Drew Arrow, Bannock's billionaire benefactor, remains lost in the wilderness... Then, when a nugget of computer code hints at the possibility of ending the apocalypse, Elder and the others must consider the unimaginable: leaving the safety of Bannock's cloistered valley. ARROW is the second action-packed chapter in the continuing Zombpunk series, picking up six months after the conclusion of STEM. Would you risk it all to get back a little of what you lost?
