Dwandalyn R Reece Musical Crossroads: The Stories Behind The Objects Of African American Music
Lafeltrinelli.it
Brand: Dwandalyn R Reece
EAN: 9781911282877
Categoria: Libri e riviste
Music is the great equalizer around the world. No matter where it originates or what form it takes, it has had a profound role in shaping the human experience and preserving the history of that experience for centuries. African American music originated out of a heritage shaped by the Transatlantic Slave Trade and forced enslavement. The music born out of this shared identity was a means of survival, a treatise on the struggle for freedom, and an agent of social change, and generated a vast array of musical styles and performance traditions that have defined American music. Musical Crossroads explores how objects can expand our understanding of the ways African American music-making continues to shape and influence society.\n\nFive thematic chapters are introduced with an essay by Dwandalyn R. Reece, and accompanied by shorter features written by museum staff. Striking images include Johnny Mathis on stage; Bo Diddley's Gretsch Guitar; Nina Simone recording \"Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood\" to name just a few. Featured objects include Radio Raheem's original boombox used in Spike Lee's 1989 film, Do the Right Thing; the original Public Enemy logo necklace alongside a story from rapper Chuck D about where the group's name comes from; and photos of Queen Latifah taken by Hip-hop photographer Al Pereira while she was filming the music video for \"Fly Girl\". Numerous illustrated profiles and stories relating to a host of DJs, producers, Black-owned record labels, Black music press, and artists, include magazines like Defender, Blacks Stars, and Vibe; record labels like Vee-Jay, Stax, Motown and Sussex Records; promoters and producers including Berry Gordy Jr, Isaac Hayes, and Ernie Freeman; as well as artists Otis Redding, Nina Simone, Luther Vandross, Little Richard, Bill Withers, Billie Holiday, Whitney Houston, and Janet Jackson, to name a few - they're all here.

C’è una sola verità: l’immigrazione è la conseguenza dei programmi del Fondo monetario internazionale e del saccheggio delle risorse da parte delle multinazionali. Non prendetevela con noi e puntate il dito sui veri responsabili.\r\nDopo il successo in Francia e Germania arriva finalmente nelle librerie italiane il libro di Emmanuel Mbolela, uno dei tanti esseri umani che rischiano la vita intraprendendo un viaggio disperato.\r\nLa differenza di queste pagine rispetto a molti altri memoir sull’argomento è che Mbolela è un’attivista colmo di dignità con un’instancabile voglia di lottare. In ogni situazione ha sempre tenuto la testa alta, superando le difficoltà che ogni migrante deve affrontare: il racket della dogana, i trafficanti di carne umana, le imboscate nel deserto, il lavoro in nero e la terribile arroganza della polizia africana, per approdare poi in Marocco, dove è rimasto intrappolato per quattro anni. Proprio qui, insieme ad alcuni compatrioti, è riuscito a fondare l’Associazione dei rifugiati congolesi in Marocco (Arcom) che ha promosso clamorose proteste.\r\nLa sua emozionante e drammatica narrazione ci pone davanti a una realtà di violenza e sfruttamento che le donne, ancor più degli uomini, devono subire giorno dopo giorno.\r\nL’illustrazione di copertina è di Umberto Torricelli.

Un viaggio nella tradizione africana, tra parole e immagini. Una serie di fotografie che tenta di restituirne la vitale bellezza specchiandola nell'antica e icastica saggezza dei proverbi. \r\n\r\nAlla carica sapienziale della cultura orale si affiancano cosí delle concrete microstorie, spesso riassunte in un volto scolpito dalle fatiche della vita o in un luminoso sorriso. Un percorso fatto non solo di molteplici incontri, quelli dell'autore con le persone ritratte, ma anche di due sguardi in un gioco di rimandi intrecciati. Settantasette immagini che evocano alcuni aspetti fondamentali del mondo africano: la vecchiaia, la solidarietà, la famiglia, l'amicizia. Il soffio degli antenati – dal titolo ispirato ai versi di Birago Diop, poeta senegalese che aderí al movimento della Negritudine – intende catturare e reinterpretare il misterioso sapere che proviene dal passato e forse rappresenta l'ultimo soffio di una storia che finisce, ma la cui forza evocativa sopravviverà ancora, se sapremo ascoltarla.

Kristina R. Gaddy Well Of Souls: Uncovering The Banjo's Hidden History
Lafeltrinelli.it
Brand: Kristina R. Gaddy
EAN: 9780393866803
Categoria: Libri e riviste
In an extraordinary story unfolding across two hundred years, Kristina Gaddy uncovers the banjo's key role in Black spirituality, ritual and rebellion. Through meticulous research in diaries, letters, archives and art, she traces the banjo's beginnings from the seventeenth century, when enslaved people of African descent created it from gourds or calabashes and wood. Gaddy shows how the enslaved carried this unique instrument as they were transported and sold by slaveowners throughout the Americas, to Suriname, the Caribbean and the colonies that became US states, including Louisiana, South Carolina, Maryland and New York.\n\n African Americans came together at rituals where the banjo played an essential part. White governments, rightfully afraid that the gatherings could instigate revolt, outlawed them without success. In the mid-nineteenth century, Blackface minstrels appropriated the instrument for their bands, spawning a craze. Eventually the banjo became part of jazz, bluegrass and country, its deepest history forgotten.

The rediscovery of a pivotal figure in Black history and his importance and influence in the struggle against slavery and discrimination\n \n“A masterful biography. . . . Ward’s struggles to find freedom, equality, peace, and belonging are still shared by many African Americans today.”—Kellie Carter Jackson, The Nation\n \n Born on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, Samuel Ringgold Ward (1817–c. 1869) escaped enslavement and would become a leading figure in the struggle for Black freedom, citizenship, and equality. He was extolled by his contemporary Frederick Douglass for his “depth of thought, fluency of speech, readiness of wit, logical exactness.” Until now, his story has been largely untold.\n \n Ward, a newspaper editor, Congregational minister, and advocate for the temperance movement, was considered one of the leading orators of his time. After the passage of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 he fled to Canada, where he lectured widely to improve conditions for formerly enslaved people who had settled there. Ward then went to Britain as an agent of the Canadian Antislavery Society and published his influential book Autobiography of a Fugitive Negro. He never returned to the United States, and he died in obscurity in Jamaica.\n \n Despite Ward’s prominent role in the abolitionist movement, his story has been lost because of the decades he spent in exile. In this book, R. J. M. Blackett brings light to Ward’s life and his important role in the struggle against slavery and discrimination, and to the personal price he paid for confronting oppression.

Brand: Cheryl R Hopson
EAN: 9781789147957
Categoria: Libri e riviste
This book explores the creativity and life of Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960), the most published African American woman writer of the first half of the twentieth century. Her life spanned a period of rapid technological change and advancement, and one of entrenched racial stratification. A Barnard-educated anthropologist, folklorist and novelist, Hurston was a modern woman on the move, and, as Cheryl R. Hopson relates, this movement is reflected in her work as a collector of folklore. Hopson also foregrounds how the Jim Crow legal system in the United States formed the material backdrop to Hurston’s life and work, and explores Hurston’s signature novel Their Eyes Were Watching God, as well as her lesser-known works. This biography is an insightful and illuminating look at a remarkable figure, and chronicles the rediscovery of Hurston years after her death.

A fresh portrayal of one of the architects of the African American intellectual tradition, whose faith in the subversive power of education will inspire teachers and learners today.\n\n“As departments…scramble to decolonize their curriculum, Givens illuminates a longstanding counter-canon in predominantly black schools and colleges.”\n—Boston Review\n\n“Informative and inspiring…An homage to the achievement of an often-forgotten racial pioneer.”\n—Glenn C. Altschuler, Florida Courier\n\n“A long-overdue labor of love and analysis…that would make Woodson, the ever-rigorous teacher, proud.”\n—Randal Maurice Jelks, Los Angeles Review of Books\n\n“Fascinating, and groundbreaking. Givens restores Carter G. Woodson, one of the most important educators and intellectuals of the twentieth century, to his rightful place alongside figures like W. E. B. Du Bois and Ida B. Wells.”\n—Imani Perry, author of May We Forever Stand: A History of the Black National Anthem\n\nBlack education was subversive from its inception. African Americans pursued education through clandestine means, often in defiance of law and custom, even under threat of violence. They developed what Jarvis Givens calls a tradition of “fugitive pedagogy”—a theory and practice of Black education epitomized by Carter G. Woodson—groundbreaking historian, founder of Black History Month, and legendary educator under Jim Crow.\n\nGivens shows that Woodson succeeded because of the world of Black teachers to which he belonged. Fugitive Pedagogy chronicles his ambitious efforts to fight what he called the “mis-education of the Negro” by helping teachers and students to see themselves and their mission as set apart from an anti-Black world. Teachers, students, families, and communities worked together, using Woodson’s materials and methods as they fought for power in schools. Forged in slavery and honed under Jim Crow, the vision of the Black experience Woodson articulated so passionately and effectively remains essential for teachers and students today.

Gaddy shows how the enslaved carried this unique instrument as they were transported and sold by slaveowners throughout the Americas, to Suriname, the Caribbean and the colonies that became US states, including Louisiana, South Carolina, Maryland and New York\n\n African Americans came together at rituals where the banjo played an essential part. White governments, rightfully afraid that the gatherings could instigate revolt, outlawed them without success. In the mid-nineteenth century, Blackface minstrels appropriated the instrument for their bands, spawning a craze. Eventually the banjo became part of jazz, bluegrass and country, its deepest history forgotten.

Brand: Steven R. Whitby
EAN: 9780764360374
Categoria: Libri e riviste
Looks at the mystery surrounding the discovery of a WWII American bomber aircraft lost in 1943!\n\n \n\n It was the first and only combat mission for the B-24 Liberator “Lady Be Good.” On April 4, 1943, she left her base on the North African coast of Libya to bomb the port city of Naples, Italy. She never returned to base. It was not until the spring of 1959 that “Lady Be Good” was discovered by a BP oil exploration team almost 500 miles into the Libyan Desert, virtually intact, with no trace of the crew. \n\n\n \n\nWhat happened to the “Lady Be Good” is explored in this book. \nIncludes the search for the crew and the subsequent mission to find the two US Army personnel lost during the initial search. \nThe author interviewed personnel who took part in the recovery effort, and has included many unpublished photos taken at the crash site during the first USAF visit in 1959. \n\n\n Author Steven Whitby had always had an interest in the history of flight, especially World War II aircraft. As an 11-year-old, he read the story of the \"Lady Be Good\" in the March 7, 1960, issue of Life magazine and was hooked on the mystery ever since. This book is the result of his very extensive research on this decades-long mystery.

Brand: Alfred L. Martin Jr.;anshare Antoine;gerald R. Butters Jr.
EAN: 9780253068880
Categoria: Libri e riviste
Since slavery, African and African American humor has baffled, intrigued, angered, and entertained the masses.\n\nRolling centers Blackness in comedy, especially on television, and observing that it is often relegated to biopics, slave narratives, and the comedic. But like W. E. B. DuBois's ideas about double consciousness and Racquel Gates's extension of his theories, we know that Blackness resonates for Black viewers in ways often entirely different than for white viewers. Contributors to this volume cover a range of cases representing African American humor across film, television, digital media, and stand-up as Black comic personas try to work within, outside, and around culture, tilling for content. Essays engage with the complex industrial interplay of Blackness, white audiences, and comedy; satire and humor on media platforms; and the production of Blackness within comedy through personal stories and interviews of Black production crew and writers for television comedy.\n\nRolling illuminates the inner workings of Blackness and comedy in media discourse.

Jacob R. Boersema Can We Unlearn Racism?: What South Africa Teaches Us About Whiteness
Lafeltrinelli.it
Brand: Jacob R. Boersema
EAN: 9781503627789
Categoria: Libri e riviste
In contemporary South Africa, power no longer maps neatly onto race. While white South Africans continue to enjoy considerable power at the top levels of industry, they have become a demographic minority, politically subordinate to the black South African population. To be white today means having to adjust to a new racial paradigm. In this book, Jacob Boersema argues that this adaptation requires nothing less than unlearning racism: confronting the shame of a racist past, acknowledging privilege, and, to varying degrees, rethinking notions of nationalism. Drawing on more than 150 interviews with a cross-section of white South Africans-representationally diverse in age, class, and gender-Boersema details how they understand their whiteness and depicts the limits and possibilities of individual, and collective, transformation. He reveals that the process of unlearning racism entails dismantling psychological and institutional structures alike, all of which are inflected by emotion and shaped by ideas of culture and power. Can We Unlearn Racism? pursues a question that should be at the forefront of every society's collective consciousness. Theoretically rich and ethnographically empathetic, this book offers valuable insights into the broader sociological process of unlearning, relevant today to communities all around the world.

Jennifer R. Harbour Organizing Freedom: Black Emancipation Activism In The Civil War Midwest
Lafeltrinelli.it
Brand: Jennifer R. Harbour
EAN: 9780809337699
Categoria: Libri e riviste
Organizing Freedom is a riveting and significant social history of black emancipation activism in Indiana and Illinois during the Civil War era. By enlarging the definition of emancipation to include black activism, author Jennifer R. Harbour details the aggressive, tenacious defiance through which Midwestern African Americans-particularly black women-made freedom tangible for themselves.\n\n Despite banning slavery, Illinois and Indiana share an antebellum history of severely restricting rights for free black people while protecting the rights of slaveholders. Nevertheless, as Harbour shows, black Americans settled there, and in a liminal space between legal slavery and true freedom, they focused on their main goals: creating institutions like churches, schools, and police watches; establishing citizenship rights; arguing against oppressive laws in public and in print; and, later, supporting their communities throughout the Civil War.\n Harbour's sophisticated gendered analysis features black women as being central to the seeking of emancipated freedom. Her distinct focus on what military service meant for the families of black Civil War soldiers elucidates how black women navigated life at home without a male breadwinner at the same time they began a new, public practice of emancipation activism. During the tumult of war, Midwestern black women negotiated relationships with local, state, and federal entities through the practices of philanthropy, mutual aid, religiosity, and refugee and soldier relief.\n\n This story of free black people shows how the ideal of equality often competed against reality in an imperfect nation. As they worked through the sluggish, incremental process to achieve abolition and emancipation, Midwestern black activists created a unique regional identity.

Vincitore del Premio Strega Europeo 2017\r\n\r\nRichard è un filologo classico in pensione, quasi per caso entra in contatto con un gruppo di africani alloggiati in un campo profughi di Berlino. È un uomo solo, vedovo e senza figli, e ha molto tempo a disposizione; in quel luogo si scoprirà capace di ascoltare le vite degli altri, le peripezie e le vicissitudini di chi viene dal Ghana, dal Ciad, dalla Nigeria, storie di lutto, fame, guerra, coraggio e difficoltà. Nel dialogo con gli esuli Richard scorge un'umanità a tratti capace di essere innocente e integra. La sua cultura classica funge da elemento rivelatore, lo aiuta a immergersi in un mondo e in una diversa visione del mondo, a confrontare valori a volte contrapposti. L'antichità e la modernità, l'universalismo e l'interesse individuale, il difficile bilanciamento tra gli ideali e la sopravvivenza. Gli uomini a cui pone le sue domande sono riusciti ad arrivare a Berlino nell'autunno del 2013, dopo essere sbarcati a Lampedusa. Sono quattrocento stranieri in terra straniera, e tutto per loro è diverso, difficile, alieno. Prima si accampano in una piazza del quartiere Kreuzberg per chiedere aiuto e lavoro, ma la polizia li sgombera e li ricovera nella zona orientale della capitale. Vitto e alloggio, una prima conquista, e poi un corso per apprendere la nuova lingua. Ma per loro, come per quasi tutti quelli che sono scappati dai paesi di origine per approdare in Europa in cerca di un rifugio e di una casa, la normalità è una conquista difficile.

L'acclamata trilogia di fantascienza vincitrice dei premi Hugo e Nebula.\r\nIl viaggio interplanetario della giovane Binti da un villaggio africano alla Oozma University. E ritorno.\r\n«Preparatevi a innamorarvi di Binti» – Neil Gaiman\r\nBinti Ekeopara Zuzu Dambu Kaipka di Namib è una ragazza di etnia Himba, talmente brava in matematica e nella tecnica dell'astrolabio da venire selezionata per frequentare la prestigiosa Oomza University. È l'occasione della vita e così, nonostante la contrarietà della sua famiglia, e le radicate tradizioni della sua terra, Binti fugge dal villaggio in cui vive e si imbarca sulla Terzo Pesce per intraprendere il viaggio interstellare verso Oomza. Ma tutto cambia quando le Meduse, feroci creature belligeranti, attaccano il veicolo che la ospita, uccidendo l'equipaggio, i passeggeri, gli altri studenti che Binti ha appena conosciuto. La giovane si trova così a doversela cavare da sola, intrappolata su un'astronave piena di esseri assassini, per cinque lunghi giorni prima di raggiungere la meta. Ma chi sono le Meduse? Binti scopre che dietro la loro storia, e la guerra che hanno scatenato contro i Khoush, si nasconde molto più di quanto non appaia. E ora una serie di compiti piuttosto gravosi le si para davanti: sopravvivere alla trasferta, proteggere gli abitanti del pianeta su cui ha sede l'ateneo; e provare a usare i propri ineguagliabili talenti per porre fine a un conflitto sanguinoso. Il volume raccoglie i romanzi brevi: \"Binti\", \"Ritorno a casa\", \"La maschera della notte\" e il racconto \"Il fuoco sacro\".
