African-American Alphabet
Author: Gerald Hausman
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780312139193
Category : African Americans
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
"Africa, the cradle of humanity, is a snake that swallows its own tail, a circle that has no beginning or end, a cosmos that is wholly inclusive, without limits or boundaries of any measurable kind. Africa is the sacred birth-mother to mankind, and thus her blessing and heritage embrace us all. Here, in African-American Alphabet, Gerald Hausman and Kelvin Rodriques seek to capture the vast wisdom and heritage of Mother Africa and to honor the common spirit that binds us, as a people, to our shared genesis." "African-American Alphabet is an historic and poetic A-to-Z collection of legends, traditions, and symbols that represents the great depth and breadth of African, Caribbean, and African-American culture. A work that, among other things, reinterprets slavery as an historical and cultural legacy, African-American Alphabet explores and illustrates the many ways that African-Americans and West Indians of the past bravely sought empowerment in the face of cruelty and suffering through the disciplines of magic, dance, drum, song, and story." "Each chapter is introduced by a key word whose significance to the culture is then demonstrated through examples of poetry, song, essay, interview, and myth, with material dating as far back as ancient Egypt or as recently as today." "Over fifty entries, including * Banjo * Conjure * Duppy * Father * Juba * Indigo * Nine Night * Obeah * Serpent * and Trickster are accompanied by over one hundred stunning photographs and illustrations."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

When You Learn the Alphabet
Author: Kendra Allen
Publisher: University of Iowa Press
ISBN: 1609386299
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 165
Book Description
Kendra Allen’s first collection of essays—at its core—is a bunch of mad stories about things she never learned to let go of. Unifying personal narrative and cultural commentary, this collection grapples with the lessons that have been stored between parent and daughter. These parental relationships expose the conditioning that subconsciously informed her ideas on social issues such as colorism, feminism, war-induced PTSD, homophobia, marriage, and “the n-word,” among other things. These dynamics strive for some semblance of accountability, and the essays within this collection are used as displays of deep unlearning and restoring—balancing trauma and humor, poetics and reality, forgiveness and resentment. When You Learn the Alphabet allots space for large moments of tenderness and empathy for all black bodies—but especially all black woman bodies—space for the underrepresented humanity and uncared for pain of black girls, and space to have the opportunity to be listened to in order to evolve past it.
