Download or read book The City of Refuge New and Expanded Edition written by Rudolph Fisher and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2008-11-03 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the premier writers of the Harlem Renaissance, Rudolph Fisher wrote short stories depicting the multifaceted black urban experience that are still acclaimed today for their humor, grace, and objective view of Harlem life. Through his words, wrote the New York Times Book Review, “one feels, smells, and tastes his Harlem; its people come alive and one cares about them.” A definitive collection of Fisher’s short stories, The City of Refuge offers vibrant tales that deal with the problems faced by newcomers to the city, ancestor figures who struggle to instill a sense of integrity in the young, problems of violence and vengeance, and tensions of caste and class. This anthology has now been expanded to include seven previously unpublished stories that take up such themes as marital infidelity and passing for black and also relate the further adventures of Jinx and Bubber, the comic duo who appeared in Fisher’s two novels. This new edition also includes two unpublished speeches and the popular article “The Caucasian Storms Harlem,” describing the craze for black music and dance. John McCluskey’s introduction has been updated to place the additional works within the context of Fisher’s career while situating his oeuvre within the broader context of American writing during the twenties. Fisher recognized the dramatic and comic power in African American folklore and music and frequented Harlem’s many cabarets, speakeasies, and nightclubs, and at the core of his work is a strong regard for music as context and counterpoint. The City of Refuge now better captures the sounds of the city experience by presenting all of Fisher’s known stories. It offers a portrait of Harlem unmatched in depth and range by Fisher’s contemporaries or successors, celebrating, as Booklist noted, “the complexity of black urban life in its encounter with the dangers and delights of the city.” This expanded edition adds new perspectives to that experience and will enhance Fisher’s status for a new generation of readers.

Download or read book The Next Breath written by Joseph C Fisher and published by . This book was released on 2015-03-27 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Follow the author's riveting journey from the threshold of death as he navigates the vagaries of modern medicine, PTSD, self-doubt and introspection to emerge forever changed by the event while coming to terms with a new appreciation for the tenuousness of existence. An inspirational story of faith, love and self-reliance. MAJOR THEMES Three themes run throughout The Next Breath. 1. The Healing Journey - the immediate crisis and recovery process are described as are the emotions, such as denial, anger, depression, angst, fear, and vulnerability that ebb and flow like sine waves through the aftermath of the emergency and recovery from it. 2. Medical Decision-Making - the not always constructive interplay between the peculiarities of how contemporary medicine is practiced and patients' psychological and therapeutic needs in times of crisis is documented. 3. Fate - how chance dictates the course of our lives and how reacting to, perhaps accepting, the undirected nature of existence can affect the recovery and adjustment to a life-threatening event. WHERE THE NEXT BREATH FITS The Next Breath offers a new perspective on the Near Death Experience (NDE) and Death and Dying literatures. Like Eben Alexander's Proof of Heaven the point of departure is a sudden, near fatal illness. However it is not another NDE story. Instead the near death event might more aptly be called a Sudden Life Experience and the book focuses on the profound self-examination it initiated. While The Next Breath takes inspiration from Elisabeth Kubler-Ross's work On Death and Dying and the stages of grief navigated by the terminally ill, this book centers on the stages of recovery and rebuilding a life. It is a story of life and living vs. death and dying, therefore. ABOUT THE AUTHOR With a doctorate in Sociology (Tufts University) and a Master of Public Health degree (Harvard University) Joe Fisher can speak to the topic of the consequences of life-threatening medical emergencies from a professional as well as personal perspective. As the author of three books, as many book chapters and over 20 peer reviewed articles, his work has received praise from Publishers Weekly, The Miami Herald and the New England Journal of Medicine.
