Book Description
Falicia Love debuts at Urban Books with Queen Hustlaz - now available in mass market! Jeryca and her girls are the typical hood chicks, always on the prowl for a come-up and dead set on making it out of the hood. Jeryca thinks she has the perfect mark to finance her escape in Thad Royster, a certified playboy and drug dealer with plenty of stacks to blow. But what will happen when Thad sees right through her fake persona and phony emotions? As she learns more about Thad's treacherous ways, Jeryca becomes fueled by anger. Now she is out to settle the score with everyone who has crossed her, and Thad is her first target. Farrah is the one chick in the crew who lucked up on a guaranteed payday by becoming Larry's baby mama, but when Larry flips the script on her, she's completely thrown off her game. Farrah is fighting a war to keep her son, and she will do whatever it takes. Has she taken on more than she can handle? Will her treachery leave her with a debt that requires a larger blood payment than she can afford? Stephanie stands out from the rest of her clique, but her brains and loyalty to Chris give her the inside track on Thad's hustle. When Thad's crew makes a dirty play, she's forced to choose between riding for her man and her loyalty to her girls. Which side will she stand on when the dust settles? Dana is the only chick in the clique who intends to get her money the legit way. With a budding career in law, she decides to change her circle and shed the "hood chick" label. When old ties pull on her heartstrings, however, she's quickly pulled back into the mix. As she takes on the role as the leader of their robbing crew, she is determined to find out just who is loyal and who isn't. Is she ready to face the harsh truth? Thad and his crew are searching for the individuals responsible for the murderous and thieving acts that occur at his trap house, but will they find that leaving well enough alone was better?

Aesthetics of Excess
Author: Jillian Hernandez
Publisher: Duke University Press
ISBN: 1478012633
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
Heavy makeup, gaudy jewelry, dramatic hairstyles, and clothes that are considered cheap, fake, too short, too tight, or too masculine: working-class Black and Latina girls and women are often framed as embodying "excessive" styles that are presumed to indicate sexual deviance. In Aesthetics of Excess Jillian Hernandez examines how middle-class discourses of aesthetic value racialize the bodies of women and girls of color. At the same time, their style can be a source of cultural capital when appropriated by the contemporary art scene. Drawing on her community arts work with Black and Latina girls in Miami, Hernandez analyzes the art and self-image of these girls alongside works produced by contemporary artists and pop musicians such as Wangechi Mutu, Kara Walker, and Nicki Minaj. Through these relational readings, Hernandez shows how notions of high and low culture are complicated when women and girls of color engage in cultural production and how they challenge the policing of their bodies and sexualities through artistic authorship.

Sonic Sovereignty
Author: Liz Przybylski
Publisher: NYU Press
ISBN: 1479816922
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
What does sovereignty sound like? Sonic Sovereignty explores how contemporary Indigenous musicians champion self-determination through musical expression in Canada and the United States. The framework of “sonic sovereignty” connects self-definition, collective determination, and Indigenous land rematriation to the immediate and long-lasting effects of expressive culture. Przybylski covers online and offline media spaces, following musicians and producers as they, and their music, circulate across broadcast and online networks. Przybylski documents and reflects on shifts in both the music industry and political landscape in the last fifteen years: just as the ways in which people listen to, consume, and interact with popular music have radically changed, large public conversations have flourished around contemporary Indigenous culture, settler responsibility, Indigenous leadership, and decolonial futures. Sonic Sovereignty encourages us to experiment with the temporal possibilities of listening by detailing moments when a sample, lyric, or musical reference moves a listener out of time. Przybylski maintains that hip hop and many North American Indigenous practices, all drawn from storytelling, welcome nonlinear listening. The musical readings presented in this book thus explore how musicians use tools to help listeners embrace rupture, and how out-of-time listening creates decolonial possibilities.

The Ashgate Research Companion to Feminist Legal Theory
Author: Vanessa E. Munro
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317043421
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 436
Book Description
As a distinct scholarly contribution to law, feminist legal theory is now well over three decades old. Those three decades have seen consolidation and renewal of its central concerns as well as remarkable growth, dynamism and change. This Companion celebrates the strength of feminist legal thought, which is manifested in this dynamic combination of stability and change, as well as in the diversity of perspectives and methodologies, and the extensive range of subject-matters, which are now included within its ambit. Bringing together contributors from across a range of jurisdictions and legal traditions, the book provides a concise but critical review of existing theory in relation to the core issues or concepts that have animated, and continue to animate, feminism. It provides an authoritative and scholarly review of contemporary feminist legal thought, and seeks to contribute to the ongoing development of some of its new approaches, perspectives, and subject-matters. The Companion is divided into three parts, dealing with 'Theory', 'Concepts' and 'Issues'. The first part addresses theoretical questions which are of significance to law, but which also connect to feminist theory at the broadest and most interdisciplinary level. The second part also draws on general feminist theory, but with a more specific focus on debates about equality and difference, race, culture, religion, and sexuality. The 'Issues' section considers in detail more specific areas of substantive legal controversy.
