Bamboozled By Jesus
Author: Yvonne Orji
Publisher: Hachette UK
ISBN: 1546012699
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 213
Book Description
Thriving stand-up comic and actress Yvonne Orji—best known as Issa Rae's BFF on the HBO series, Insecure—shares the secrets to living the life of your dreams. Yvonne Orji has never shied away from being unapologetically herself, and that includes being outspoken about her faith. Known for interpreting Biblical stories and metaphors to fit current times, her humorous and accessible approach to faith leaves even non-believers inspired and wanting more. The way Yvonne sees it, God is a Sovereign Prankster, punking folks long before Ashton Kutcher made it cool. When she meditates on her own life—complete with unforeseen blessings and unanticipated roadblocks—she realizes it’s one big testimony to how God tricked her into living out her wildest dreams. And she wants us to join in on getting bamboozled. This is not a Self-Help book—it’s a Get Yours book! In Bamboozled by Jesus, a frank and fresh advice book, Orji takes readers on a journey through twenty-five life lessons, gleaned from her own experiences and her favorite source of inspiration: the Bible. But this ain’t your mama’s Bible study. Yvonne infuses wit and heart in sharing pointers like why the way up is sometimes down, and how fear is synonymous to food poisoning. Her joyful, confident approach to God will inspire everyone to catapult themselves out of the mundane and into the magnificent. With bold authenticity and practical relatability, Orji is exactly the kind of cultural leader we need in these chaotic times. And her journey through being Bamboozled by Jesus paints a powerful picture of what it means to say “yes” to a life you never could’ve imagined—if it wasn’t your own.

Spike Lee’s Bamboozled
Author: Sara Corrizzato
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443873993
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 175
Book Description
This book compares the original version of the screenplay of the film Bamboozled (2000) with the Italian dubbed text, offering an analysis of forty-four compliments and forty-four insults. In order to provide a comparative study of the expressive speech acts in both versions, the book includes all the examples of such language use in the film. After a brief presentation of the main linguistic features of African American English and a short introduction to audiovisual language and to the relevance of audiovisual translation in the field of Translation Studies, every speech act in both versions is thoroughly analysed and commented upon. The contrastive analysis of the original and the dubbed version demonstrates that the most noteworthy discrepancies between the scripts are due to the transposition of lingua-cultural elements. Because of the constraints of the target language itself, several references to the African American community and heritage are omitted in the Italian text. Moreover, while the illocutionary force of dubbed utterances often coincides with the original, slang expressions and sub-standard linguistic traits are almost always weakened or neutralized.

Bamboozled
Author: Joey Torrey
Publisher: Microcosm Publishing
ISBN: 1621065367
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 129
Book Description
In this introspective exploration of former boxer Joey Torrey's life, his past, his murder conviction, and his more than 30-year incarceration in a California state prison are each fine-tooth combed. Nearly five years after his original memoir, this new edition is re-written as a biography and delves deeper into circumstances surrounding Torrey’s alleged murder of his boxing coach, the lengthy prison sentence handed down, his undercover collaboration with the FBI on “Operation Matchbook” in support of John McCain’s proposed Professional Boxing Amendments Act, and the inner workings of the prison system in general. From his days as a Compton gang leader and an Olympic boxing hopeful to being tried as an adult rather than a 17-year-old minor, this compelling narrative reflects on his life as a parable as well as examining the strategies used in his conviction, such as establishing the motive as robbery despite a lack of evidence linking the opening of safe to the murderer. And after more than three decades as a model prisoner—and saving the life of a prison guard—Torrey has prolifically written hundreds of letters to Joe Biel, who finds himself in the unlikely situation to share this story.

Spike Lee's Bamboozled and Blackface in American Culture
Author: Elizabeth L. Sanderson
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476636958
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
Spike Lee's challenging film Bamboozled (2000) is often read as a surface level satire of blackface minstrelsy. Careful analysis, however, gives way to a complex and nuanced study of the history of black performance. This book analyzes the work of five men, minstrel performer Bert Williams, director Oscar Micheaux, writer Ralph Ellison, painter Michael Ray Charles, and director Spike Lee, all through the lens of this misunderstood film. Equal parts biography and cultural analysis, this book examines the intersections of these five artists and Bamboozled, and investigates their shared legacy of resistance against misrepresentation.

How We Are Being Tricked and Bamboozled Into Bad Health
Author: Marcia Banks-Alston
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595183743
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
“…people are destroyed for the lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6) Therefore, one of our best weapons is knowledge. We need to learn God’s ways so we can combat the tricks and ploys that the master trickster (Satan) uses to ensnare. This book is to help us “renew our minds”, break life-defeating habits, overcome generational curses, dispel useless myths and begin to ‘feed’ ourselves in a manner that is God honoring, health promoting and not Satan honoring and death producing. “Feeding” does not refer to just physical food, but also the mental ‘food’ we take in that keeps us defeated, down-trodden, broke and unsuccessful in our secular and spiritual life. Most of us do not know that what we are doing to our bodies, minds and spirits are not life generating or God pleasing. We have been tricked and bamboozled. This book will reveal some of the best tricks played on us. Tricks that cause needless death, severe aches, emotional pains, marital affairs, academic failures, mental problems, social concerns, sleepless nights and drug addictions (legal and illegal). Not only will this book expose what the tricks are but will tell you how to avoid and conquer their ill effects.
