Kwanzaa
Author: Keith A. Mayes
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135284008
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 507
Book Description
Since 1966, Kwanzaa has been celebrated as a black holiday tradition – an annual recognition of cultural pride in the African American community. But how did this holiday originate, and what is its broader cultural significance? Kwanzaa: Black Power and the Making of the African-American Holiday Tradition explores the political beginning and later expansion of Kwanzaa, from its start as a Black Power holiday, to its current place as one of the most mainstream of the black holiday traditions. For those wanting to learn more about this alternative observance practiced by countless African Americans and how Kwanzaa fits into the larger black holiday tradition, Keith A. Mayes gives an accessible and definitive account of the movements and individuals that pushed to make this annual celebration a reality, and shows how African-Americans brought the black freedom struggle to the American calendar. Clear and thoughtful, Kwanzaa is the perfect introduction to what is now the quintessential African American holiday.

Rugrats
Author: Andrews McMeel Publishing
Publisher: Andrews McMeel Publishing
ISBN: 9780740754494
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
No matter where kids are growing up, no matter what challenges they face, they're still focused on family, friends, food, and the freedom to do what they want-although not necessarily in that order. That becomes perfectly clear in A Baby's Work Is Never Done, one of the funniest takes on growing up to come along in years. This sharp and witty comic strip for today's kids (and adults) was spun off the highly successful Nickelodeon TV series, which has become a modern classic. Children and their families just can't get enough of the Rugrats characters, including brave Tommy, cowardly Chuckie, oddball twins Phil and Lil, and bossy Angelica. They may be babies, but their personalities ring true for people of all ages. The fun of the comic strip comes in seeing the world through the Rugrats' unique, sincere perspective on a day-to-day basis. Just as comical is the physical humor that spills out across backyards, playgrounds, and bedrooms.
