Marking Time
Author: Nicole R. Fleetwood
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 067491922X
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
"A powerful document of the inner lives and creative visions of men and women rendered invisible by America’s prison system. More than two million people are currently behind bars in the United States. Incarceration not only separates the imprisoned from their families and communities; it also exposes them to shocking levels of deprivation and abuse and subjects them to the arbitrary cruelties of the criminal justice system. Yet, as Nicole Fleetwood reveals, America’s prisons are filled with art. Despite the isolation and degradation they experience, the incarcerated are driven to assert their humanity in the face of a system that dehumanizes them. Based on interviews with currently and formerly incarcerated artists, prison visits, and the author’s own family experiences with the penal system, Marking Time shows how the imprisoned turn ordinary objects into elaborate works of art. Working with meager supplies and in the harshest conditions—including solitary confinement—these artists find ways to resist the brutality and depravity that prisons engender. The impact of their art, Fleetwood observes, can be felt far beyond prison walls. Their bold works, many of which are being published for the first time in this volume, have opened new possibilities in American art. As the movement to transform the country’s criminal justice system grows, art provides the imprisoned with a political voice. Their works testify to the economic and racial injustices that underpin American punishment and offer a new vision of freedom for the twenty-first century."

Poems of Petition, Praise, Perception, People, & Playfulness
Author: Iii Walter A. Newport
Publisher: Xulon Press
ISBN: 1602666733
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 158
Book Description
Poems The poems in this volume are quite varied in theme and purpose. Readers can find solace or healing, encouragement, joy in The Lord, laughter, common feelings about loved ones, or perhaps special insights into Christian thinking that might serve to bring someone into or back into a Biblical worldview. Many who have begun to doubt or to encounter criticism of Christianity in today's world they cannot defend against, and perhaps do not have the patience to read apologetic discourses, may find that poetry can speak to their hearts when pure logic does not in an age of relativism, naturalism, secular humanism, post-modernism, and terrorism. Taken as a whole, one gets the sense that God's Love, Sovereignty, Majesty, Truth and Grace are visible in His Creation, and that humankind need to embrace Him, accept Christ, and dedicate ourselves to obeying, glorifying, and serving Him as long as we live. Walter Newport is a retired professor of language and culture who has spent nearly thirty years in four widely diverse areas of the world - in the USA, Cuba, Spain, and Japan. Dr. Newport was the first non-Japanese professor ever hired by Ishikawa Prefecture in Japan, after having been a founding member of an international center in Toyama Prefecture. He has also been an active Christian in parts of the world in which Christians are a minority, supporting an orphanage in the Philippines, and has helped refugees from the recent Ethiopian-Eritrean war in Africa. He enjoys opera and classical music, theology, mountain hiking, and weight lifting, belongs to the International Society of Poets, and has received numerous awards for his poetry. He now lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

John Edgar Wideman
Author: Doreatha D. Mbalia
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
"John Edgar Wideman's process of decentering himself from European life and culture and centering himself within African life and culture is the focus of this study." "In this critical review of the works of Wideman, Doreatha Drummond Mbalia argues that the author's early writings are characterized by a self-hatred that is shaped by explicit and implicit messages he receives as an African living in a racist, capitalist society. These messages are reinforced by European-style, westernized familial and educational influences. However, Mbalia argues that once Wideman experiences several unfortunate family occurrences, witnesses the growing pride and dignity younger Africans feel in regard to their history, and simply "lives and learns," his perspective shifts from one that is clearly centered in European culture and tradition to one that is at the heart of African culture and tradition. This shift reflects a new way of seeing, thinking, and writing about himself, his family, the African community and its institutions, African people in general, and African women in particular." "This shift in point of view is not reflected only in theme, but also in structure. In later works, Wideman's writing style no longer imitates that of such European writers as T. S. Eliot, but imitates that of the African community, with all of its jive, rap, and hokey-pokey nuances. Once Wideman sees himself as one of many Africans all over the world who are exploited and oppressed, his perspective broadens as well. In the later work, the point of view is no longer national in scope, but rather international, tackling such issues as apartheid in South Africa and reflecting the international scope of capitalism."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Underground Rap as Religion
Author: Jon Ivan Gill
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351391321
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
Underground rap is largely a subversive, grassroots, and revolutionary movement in underground hip-hop, tending to privilege creative freedom as well as progressive and liberating thoughts and actions. This book contends that many practitioners of underground rap have absorbed religious traditions and ideas, and implement, critique, or abandon them in their writings. This in turn creates processural mutations of God that coincide with and speak to the particular context from which they originate. Utilising the work of scholars like Monica Miller and Alfred North Whitehead, Gill uses a secular religious methodology to put forward an aesthetic philosophy of religion for the rap portion of underground hip-hop. Drawing from Whiteheadian process thought, a theopoetic argument is made. Namely, that it is not simply the case that is God the "poet of the world", but rather rap can, in fact, be the poet (creator) of its own form of quasi-religion. This is a unique look at the religious workings and implications of underground rap and hip hop. As such, it will be of keen interest to scholars of Religious Studies, Hip-Hop Studies and Process Philosophy and Theology.

From Pain to Poetry
Author: Mark Tanner
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1312257237
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
This collection of poems was written with pen and tears through pain filled years. Sometime during the year of 1996 I began a journey. It was a journey that took me to places that I never knew existed. I went into places in this life and thought of things and did things that I otherwise would have never thought of doing. I stayed there much longer than I ever wanted to stay. That place was a place that I call "The Altar of No Mercy." There you will find yourself and the people that surround you with tombstones in their eyes, "roaming through the earth and going back and forth in it" (Job 1:7). Through that journey I have come to understand that everything that is evil is just a mimic of everything that is good. Just as you will find the mercy seat at the altar of God, you will likewise find the seat of no mercy and the altar of our enemy, satan.
