Readings from Founding Fathers of Freedom: Martin Luther King Jr, Malcolm X, and James Baldwin on the corruption of the church, the post-racial myth, & the American hoax.

Stephen Marche is the author of six books, has been a columnist at Esquire, has taught Shakespeare at the college level and has contributed to The New Yorker, The Atlantic, The New York Times, and many other publications. By any reasonable measure, his career is an unmitigated success. But seen through a different lens (for instance his own) it can also look a lot like failure. That's true of just about every writer who ever lived and Stephen grapples with this dichotomy in new book, On Writing And Failure, which is both a literary history and a reverse pep talk for aspiring artists. In this conversation, Stephen talks about how writers from James Baldwin to James Joyce to Li Bai (and many, many others) built legacies on the sands of constant rejection. He also shares stories of his own failures and offers some thoughts about how the contours of failure and rejection have changed in the new independent creator economy. For paying Substack subscribers, Stephen stays overtime to talk about failure outside of the literary arena, including the perils of marriage and childrearing. Meghan shares her story about getting rejected from a dream job because of a typo in her resumé and Stephen remembers what it was like when his first book, a novel, received a positive New York Times review from none other than . . . Meghan!   Guest Bio: Stephen Marche is a novelist and essayist. He is the author of half a dozen books, including The Next Civil War, The Unmade Bed: The Messy Truth About Men and Women in the Twenty-First Century (2016) and The Hunger of the Wolf (2015). He has written opinion pieces and essays for The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Atlantic, Esquire, The Walrus and many others. He is the host of the hit audio series How Not to F*ck Up Your Kids Too Bad, and its sequel How Not to F*ck Up Your Marriage Too Bad on Audible. His latest book is On Writing and Failure: Or, On the Peculiar Perseverance Required to Endure the Life of a Writer (Field Notes).

The final installment in the series on the tri-partite part nature of American antisemitism. In this episode Rav Mike Feuer revisits all three forms of Jew-hatred characteristic of society in the United States and touches base with their manifestation in the new millennia. Along the way we identify the narrative endgame driving each of these stories of destruction and consider what the Jews ought to do about it. Learn about the 2001 Durban Conference, James Baldwin, the Oklahoma City Bombing, and Jewish students on college campus today.

Between 1961 and 1971 James Baldwin spent extended periods of time in Turkey, where he worked on some of his most important books. In this first in-depth exploration of Baldwin's “Turkish decade,” Magdalena J. Zaborowska reveals the significant role that Turkish locales, cultures, and friends played in Baldwin's life and thought. Turkey was a nurturing space for the author, who by 1961 had spent nearly ten years in France and Western Europe and failed to reestablish permanent residency in the United States. Zaborowska demonstrates how Baldwin's Turkish sojourns enabled him to re-imagine himself as a black queer writer and to revise his views of American identity and U.S. race relations as the 1960s drew to a close. Following Baldwin's footsteps through Istanbul, Ankara, and Bodrum, Zaborowska presents many never published photographs, new information from Turkish archives, and original interviews with Turkish artists and intellectuals who knew Baldwin and collaborated with him on a play that he directed in 1969. She analyzes the effect of his experiences on his novel Another Country (1962) and on two volumes of his essays, The Fire Next Time (1963) and No Name in the Street (1972), and she explains how Baldwin's time in Turkey informed his ambivalent relationship to New York, his responses to the American South, and his decision to settle in southern France.  James Baldwin's Turkish Decade: Erotics of Exile (Duke UP, 2009) expands the knowledge of Baldwin's role as a transnational African American intellectual, casts new light on his later works, and suggests ways of reassessing his earlier writing in relation to ideas of exile and migration. Magdalena J. Zaborowska is Professor of Afroamerican and American Studies and the John Rich Faculty Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities at the University of Michigan Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature. YouTube channel.

To Be Heard, To Be Seen, To MatterShaunda McDill is the newly appointed Managing Director of the Pittsburgh Public Theater. She is a rare type of new leader coming of age in the modern American Theater – black women who are ascending to top roles in major theatrical institutions across the country. She joins the ranks of theatrical trailblazers like Nataki Garrett, Artistic Director at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival; Dominique Morisseau, Executive Artistic Producer at Detroit Public Theater; Patricia McGregor, Artistic Director at New York Theater Workshop; and Hana Sharif, the Augustin Family Artistic Director at Repertory Theater of St. Louis. All wrestling with that question of how do we create space within the canon of the theater to make as much room as possible for a multitude of voices, perspectives, and stories to emerge that are as diverse and as expansive as is the landscape of the country today. Because in the final analysis, it comes down to Representation. And whose stories get to be heard, to be seen and to matter.For Shaunda, her answer to that question has its roots in her nontraditional journey to the Pittsburgh Public Theater. As a young girl her life as an artist began by performing in skits at the local Red Cross to highlight HIV/AIDS for kids, and reciting Bible verses in the Easter Pageants at her church. Along the way, she was mentored by such theater and literary luminaries as Ntozake Shange and August Wilson, and influenced by the words of Langston Hughes, James Baldwin, and Toni Morrison. She formed her own theater company called Demaskus – that unapologetically creates space for the underserved and underrepresented people in the theater to have the artistic license to succeed and fail, and to explore freely their artistry on their own terms. For as Shaunda says, “It is necessary for us to tell our own stories if they are going to be told. We must bear witness to what happens and what has transpired in our lives.” She has built a life buttressed by her strong, unshakeable faith and her belief that her approach to creativity isn't about struggling to convince others of her humanity, but rather a struggle to produce work and art that reflects her vision of the world. Her life and her career are not exercises in looking outward, rather they are the result of Shaunda looking inward into her innermost soul.At the Podium WebsiteAt the Podium on IGPatrick on IGFor more information contact Patrick at patrick@patrickhueyleadership.com

This week, we read Another Country by James Baldwin A story about race, relationships, sex, careers, and finding your passions, this book is truly one of the greats. James Baldwin has made his mark in history as a superb writer and even better speaker, forming bonds with other historic greats like Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcom X. Another Country is one of those novels that hits you hard and gets you talking.  Ella Kopeikin, the woman who knows French pronunciation better than myself, joins me today to talk about why this book deserves so much more recognition.  In this episode we cover:  Why it's important to read stories like this, even though the subject matter may be difficult (abuse and suicide) Why having a community of people to challenge your thinking creates rich individuals Why we aimed to have this release during Black History Month and ended up recording in Black History Month because we did not study math in college.  Open your book and press play on a podcast episode that will challenge you, pull on your heart strings, and get you flying to the nearest bookstore to pick up your own copy.  Mentioned in the Pairings section of the podcast: DRINK: I.W.

Historian and author Cedric Robinson defined the Black radical tradition as “the continuing development of a collective consciousness informed by the historical struggles for liberation.” The Black radical tradition is a rich and vibrant tapestry woven by the efforts of many Black people who raised their voices demanding freedom and equality denied to them by racial capitalism. They broke through white supremacy and forged the Black Radical Tradition. There were such giants as W. E. B. Du Bois, C.L.R. James, Frantz Fanon, and Malcolm X. And important cultural figures such as Langston Hughes, Lorraine Hansberry, James Baldwin, Paul Robeson, and Toni Morrison. Today, the legacy of these pioneers and many others inform and inspire Black movements for liberation and justice from Ferguson to Minneapolis to Memphis.

In this episode of Broken Boxes we hear recurring host and artist Cannupa Hanska Luger in conversation with Cassils, a transgender artist who makes their own body the material and protagonist of their performances. Cassils's art contemplates the history(s) of LGBTQI+ violence, representation, struggle and survival. For Cassils, performance is a form of social sculpture: Drawing from the idea that bodies are formed in relation to forces of power and social expectations, Cassils's work investigates historical contexts to examine the present moment. In the conversation, Cassils speaks to recent and landmark projects including Monument Push, a multi pronged experiential work and reaction to Trans violence, and In Plain Sight, a national activation responding to policed migration and created in collaboration with dozens of artists across the nation. They speak to the larger ideas that shape their practice, including how their work explores the violence, resilience, strength and vulnerability of the body. They unpack the ethos behind their collaboration with other community members, how the audience becomes archive in their practice, and the importance of restructuring systems of care in large projects to actively dismantle the notion that those directly impacted should shoulder the burden alone. They see a desperate need to uplift complexity and productive disagreement to move us forward collectively and share how they exercise this communication model as an educator. Cassils reminds us of the potential of art, that within the space of making, our agency cannot be taken. Cassils ends the conversation reading an excerpt from a powerful essay by James Baldwin regarding the artist's responsibility to ”...drive to the heart of every answer and expose the question that the answer hides.” Cassils has had recent solo exhibitions at HOME Manchester, Station Museum of Contemporary Art, Perth Institute for Contemporary Arts, Ronald Feldman Fine Arts, NYC; Institute for Contemporary Art, AU; Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts; Bemis Center, Omaha; MU Eindhoven, Netherlands.They are the recipient of the National Creation Fund, a 2020 Fleck Residency from the Banff Center for the Arts, a Princeton Lewis Artist Fellowship finalist, a Villa Bellagio Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship, a United States Artist Fellowship, a Guggenheim Fellowship and a Creative Capital Award. Cassils is an Associate Professor in Sculpture and Integrated Practices at PRATT Institute. Featured Song: Yoko Ono "Walking On Thin Ice" Dj's Transition Edit https://www.cassils.net

Dr. Jim discussed the topic of diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) on his podcast . He noted that progress for the Black community has been slow and questioned whether this slow progress is a design feature or a bug. He has had conversations with members of the Black community about civil rights, representation and advancement, and how DEIB was brought forward to create a more equitable world of work and opportunity for the Black community. The conversation highlights the need to consider this slow progress and the importance of DEIB in creating a more equitable world. Dr. Jim talks about the level of frustration that comes up when discussing D E I B initiatives, and how they often don't do what they're designed to do. He references James Baldwin's debate with William F. Buckley and his later quote from 1980, which reflects the struggles of the Black community over the past 60 years. Dr. Jim concludes that if a fair-minded person looks at the slow progress of D E I B initiatives, they must conclude that the slow progress is a design feature. He encourages people to think about what other conclusion can be drawn from this.Timestamps00:00:00Exploring the Slow Pace of Progress for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB)00:00:58"Exploring the Impact of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) Initiatives on the Black Community"00:02:46 Examining the Effectiveness of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Initiatives00:04:59Conversation on Oppression and Initiatives to Address Injustice00:07:44Examining the Need for Sustained Focus on DEIB Music Credit: Maarten Schellekens - Riviera Follow us at: www.cascadingleadership.comlinkedin.com/in/drjimklinkedin.com/in/1lawrenceobrown

In part three of their Death and Spectacle series, Carrie and Ellie explore the inequity of American commemoration and how it deprives the marginalized, even in death. They discuss the corrupt dealings behind public works projects such as Lake Eufaula, which led to the forcible removal of native peoples and the flooding of their history. In the context of the discovery of countless children's remains near residential schools and an official record of 9/11 fatalities that excludes the undocumented, the sisters ask – how do we choose what and who to memorialize? What makes some ground holy and others deserving of desecration or erasure? Who has the right to rest in peace?Texts discussed include: Edmund Morgan's “American Slavery, American Freedom,” Jefferson Cowie's “Freedom's Dominion,” The 1965 James Baldwin - William F. Buckley Debate, Walter Johnson's “The Slave Trader, the White Slave, and the Politics of Racial Determination in the 1850's,“ Karla Cornejo Villavicencio's “The Undocumented Americans,” Jason de Leon's “The Land of Open Graves”, Alicia Elliott's short story “Unearth,” and Annette Gordon Reed's “The Hemingses of Monticello” and Walter Johnson's “The Strange Story of Alexina Morrison: Race, Sex, and Resistance in Antebellum Louisiana.”

"I really admire how James Baldwin always talks about jazz as a kind of model for his writing style. But music has certainly had a profound influence on the way I see the world, especially in terms of the social world. One of the big problems we have in all sorts of different places around the world is the question of how to coordinate difference. All sorts of people have different modes of living, different cultural rhythms, and different ideas about the future. Jazz is brilliant at a lot of things, but it notably brings together different people and allows them to retain their own sense of time and rhythm while playing together. It's a really profound model of social coordination. Now, of course, it says something particularly pressing about the United States, but I think as a model for how differences go together, jazz is perhaps unparalleled."Bruce Evan Barnhart is an associate professor of American literature and culture at the University of Oslo and co-director of the project Literature, Rights, and Imagined Communities.

He's best known as an eight-time Formula 1 Grand Prix winner, but Daniel Ricciardo is now forging a reputation for his DR3 wines, produced in partnership with Australia's St Hugo.After a strong critical reception and encouraging sales for the debut vintages, the project continues to evolve with the third consecutive release of Barossa Shiraz and Coonawarra Cabernet, this time from the celebrated 2021 vintage.The DR3 wines come in an eye-catching packaging created by specialist drinks design agency Co-Partnership that repositions the St Hugo brand for a new audience.And there's new products coming into the range with more accessible pricing, like the Ric Red comprised of Daniel's quote unquote – “Secret Sauce” – a mystery blend of grape varieties known only to him and St Hugo chief winemaker, Peter Munro.I got the opportunity to sit down with both Peter and Daniel at St Hugo in the Barossa recently, along with Eric Thomson, global marketing director at St Hugo's parent company, Pernod Ricard.For the F1 fans among you, I did want to ask Daniel some questions about his future in the sport following the early termination of his contract with McLaren last year, but his management said F1 questions were strictly off limits in this interview.So instead, I put some of those questions to James Baldwin from the F1 podcast Lakeside Drive.James is a wine guy himself, so he gives me his thoughts on the DR3 partnership and Daniel's F1 prospects in a bonus episode of Drinks Adventures coming out this week.Watch the podcast feed for that one, and you can also catch me on the Lakeside Drive podcast speaking with James about my interview with Daniel and the DR3 wines.Click here to open episode in your podcast player.

The Marches were ignited by the Death of SCLC local Jimmie Lee JacksonWhat did Jimmie Lee Jackson accomplish?Jimmie Lee Jackson, was a Vietnam veteran, Baptist deacon, activist and martyr of the Civil Rights Movement. Jackson, active in the fight for equal rights, had tried multiple times to register to vote in Alabama and was denied each time.When Jimmie Lee Jackson saw his frail 80-year-old grandfather rudely turned away from the registrar's office in 1962 after attempting to register to vote in Marion, Ala., the young man became angry. He knew he had to join the civil rights movement.On Feb. 18, 1965, he was among more than 200 people participating in a night march in Marion. Before they had walked a block, they were confronted by state troopers and the police chief, who ordered them to disperse.The marchers halted at the chief's order, and suddenly all the streetlights on the square went out. A black minister at the head of the march knelt to pray and was struck on the head by a trooper. Other troopers began swinging their clubs, and the marchers panicked, running for cover.Jackson and his mother huddled for safety in a café. When Jackson's grandfather entered the café bloodied and beaten, the young man tried to take him to a hospital. But they were quickly shoved back by a crowd of club-swinging troopers and terrified marchers.The troopers began knocking out the café lights with their clubs and beating people. Jackson saw a trooper strike his mother, and he lunged for the man. He was clubbed across the face and slammed him into a cigarette machine. Another trooper pulled his pistol and shot Jackson in the stomach. It was two hours before Jackson arrived at the hospital in Selma. He died eight days later.Forty-five years later, former trooper James Bonard Fowler pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of second-degree manslaughter. He was sentenced to six months in jail but was released early due to poor health. Fowler claimed he shot Jackson in self-defense.At one of two services for Jackson, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. told a crowd of 2,000: “Jimmie Lee Jackson's death says to us that we must work passionately and unrelentingly to make the American dream a reality. His death must prove that unmerited suffering does not go unredeemed.”© 2023 Building Abundant Success!!2023 All Rights ReservedJoin Me on ~ iHeart Media @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASSpot Me on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23baAmazon Music ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAudacy:  https://tinyurl.com/BASAud

How do we know what other people know? In this interview Douglas Manuel and Tresha Faye Haefner talk with Jessica Cuello about her third collection, Liar, selected by Dorianne Laux for the Barrow Street Book Prize. Her book explores issues of childhood trauma that children are taught to lie about or to hide from adults. Jessica discusses her own ambiguous, uncertain relationship with the lyric "I" when writing, and asks the question, "How do we know what others know?" As James Baldwin says, all art is a form of confession. Listen for references to James Baldwin, Dorianne Laux, and Mary Oliver.

The N-word is here to stay, and so are debates about it. However, scholars and teachers don't need the word to disappear so much as they need to be more deliberate and intellectually rigorous in handling it. In this episode, Koritha Mitchell (Ohio State University) suggests that students and faculty members should not be subjected to hate speech in the classroom just because it appears in the texts we study. She shares her deep disappointment with how little white instructors as well as those in other dominant identity categories have thought about their use of slurs in their classes and proposes solutions to improve pedagogical practices. She details her own classroom policies and offers examples of how the policies function in texts by Mark Twain and James Baldwin. We also hear Mitchell's former students discuss how her policy transformed their learning experiences and critical thinking during and beyond her courses. Throughout, Mitchell identifies how intellectually lazy ways of handing racial slurs result from, and fuel, that which makes our institutions unjust. This episode originally appeared on March 4, 2019. It was produced by Xine Yao, Paul Kotheimer, and Koritha Mitchell. Post-production by Xine Yao.

Show Notes: Sarah's passion is creative writing and teaching it in ways that inspire and delight others. Today she works as a writing professor at a community college and offers creative writing workshops in hospitals, libraries, alternative education programs and more. Yet Sarah considers her real work to be caring for her three children and their rural homestead through the various challenges and opportunities that come their way. Sarah Silbert, a member of the Harvard and Radcliffe class of 1992, speaks about her journey since graduating from Harvard. She explained that she had been passionate about two areas while at Harvard - social service and community service, and creative writing. She went on to explain that Harvard ran its own homeless shelter, just two blocks from Adam's House, and that this had been the start of her journey and passion for social service. Since then, she has gone on to work around the country to help those needing shelter and support with a focus on teenage runaways. In the late 90's, she became a professor at a community college where she continues to teach about the importance of civic engagement, community service, and self-awareness where she is able to use her knowledge and experience to help students make a difference in the world.   Inspired by Stories of Runaways Inspired by an anthology of creative writing collected by a reporter tracking teenage runaways, Sarah started teaching creative writing workshops in libraries, hospitals, treatment centers, and other places for troubled youth. The teens in these workshops often wrote about the idea of home, and always linked it with a yearning for belonging. Sarah's work with them over led her to reflect on her own desire for a home and to ask herself what “belonging” might mean to her.” Eventually, she realized that she wanted to live in a countryside setting and decided to pursue that goal. Building a Cabin in Vermont She applied for a series of creative writing fellowships which allowed her to stay in cabins in various locations. During her stay in the MacDowell cabin, which was once occupied by James Baldwin, she was inspired to find her own land and build a cabin. She took a house building course in Maine and looked for land in Wyoming and Eastern Washington. She wanted to create a space for young people who didn't have access to artist colonies. She was living out her teenage dream of building a cabin in Vermont. She had been given the land at a rock bottom price, but it had no water, power or road. Then, the electrical company offered her a large sum of money to put a power line across her property, which gave her the power she needed.    Coping with Illness and Grief Unfortunately, her boyfriend was diagnosed with leukemia, and they were in and out of hospitals for seven years. She was 25 or 26 at the time and had to give up her dreams of family and children to take care of him. Sarah felt a spiritual calling to be in this situation, spending many days in the hospital sleeping in a cot by his bed. Despite the hardship, it was an experience that she believes brought her closer to Jeff and taught her to appreciate life. To cope with the grief of Jeff passing,  Sarah decided to jump into a new idea of life and family. She took a year off from college to work for Mother Teresa, which she believes helped her get through the tough time.    Building a Village A few years later she was hired as a teacher at a community college, and started taking in tenants to help with the house and kids. Eventually, her tenants became her fairy godmothers, helping with the house and kids, and her neighbors and godparent also came in to help. Now, six years later, Sarah and her kids are living for their dreams. Sarah Silbert  has traveled the world and seen many different kinds of families. She has found a way to raise her three children without a spouse, but still loves having another adult around to help her with her children. To her, family means having both mom, dad and kids, but she also has a tribe of people who love and support her and her children. She is proud of her physical strength and her mental strength, which she is developing further in a leadership program. The program's motto is “how to be an island of calm in a storm”, which she applies to her own life and the lives of those around her. Harvard courses and professors who influenced Sarah include Susan Dodd, creative writing instructor, and Ed Cohen, founder of The Echoing Green Fellowship.   Timestamps: 12:20: The hardships of living off grid 17:41 Caring for a Loved One with Leukemia  22:42 The Meaning of Family and Personal Accomplishments  26:13: The dynamic tribe 32:30 Combining Physical Endurance with Mental Clarity and Stewarding Kids in Unforeseen Craziness 34:48 Taking a Year Off to Work with Mother Teresa  41:17 Exploring Adventure and Opportunity  Links: https://echoinggreen.org/ “The River We Call Ourselves” in the Sun “Fighting in the Zendo”in the Sun “The Land” in Ploughshares CONTACT INFO: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarah-silbert-97909111/  

James Baldwin once said, "To be a Negro in this country and to be relatively conscious is to be in a state of rage almost, almost all of the time, and in one's work." This episode discusses the disturbing arrest of Mrs. Stevens, an elderly, Black retired teacher at Mid-Florida Credit Union. Was this situation motivated by racism? How do we stop situations like this from happening? The following video shares more details of this disturbing story with Mrs. Stevens and her attorneys. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s28Jxz8a94I --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/cherie-hardy/message

In this episode, we talk to Camille Auguste about book censorship and book banning trends. Ms. Auguste stresses the importance of self-reflection and really knowing our students to better connect with their needs.

In this episode, Book Dreams producer and guest host Gianfranco Lentini takes us on a journey to a real-life literary paradise—a thin barrier island just 50 miles east of New York City—that has been a haven for authors, especially queer authors, for more than a century. Author and scholar Jack Parlett joins Gianfranco to discuss the subject of Jack's latest book, Fire Island: A Century in the Life of an American Paradise. They talk about the significance of creating and maintaining queer spaces as havens, and they examine the cultural context that led many writers—including Noël Coward, W. H. Auden, Walt Whitman, Tennessee Williams, and James Baldwin—to spend summers on Fire Island, experiencing personal freedom that was denied to them everywhere else. They also explore the effect that those earlier writers, as well as Fire Island itself, had on the authors who make the island their second home today. Says Jack, “The [Fire Island] landscape itself knows something, feels something, about the people who were there. It's a repository of their legacies." Jack Parlett is a writer, poet, and scholar. He is the author of three books: Fire Island: A Century in the Life of an American Paradise; The Poetics of Cruising: Queer Visual Culture from Whitman to Grindr; and Same Blue, Different You, a poetry pamphlet. Fire Island was named an Editor's Pick by The New York Times and One of the Best Books of 2022 by The New Yorker and BBC Culture. His writing has appeared in The New Yorker, Boston Review, Granta, Literary Hub, BBC Culture, Poetry London, and elsewhere. Jack currently holds a junior research fellowship at University College Oxford, where he also teaches. His research focuses on 20th and 21st century American literature and culture with an emphasis on queer writing and questions of gender, sexuality, and race.

Get ready for another great episode on "Conversations with Akilah". This episode will contain commentary and discussion on "Salvation: Black People and Love" by bell hooks. This is a 4-part series. The following episode is on the Intro. Be sure to tune in to continue this conversation. *Trigger Warning* This episode may contain topics that may be offensive and upsetting. OPINIONS and VIEWS shared here are my own.Listeners discretion is advised. In this episode you will learn: About how much has changed and yet so much still remains the same A little bit about what the author bell hooks thought about what it meant to "stay together" in marriage. Her view from her parents vs her view from her grandparents. What other authors such Zora Neale Hurston and James Baldwin wrote about the Black experience and how Black Affirmation was a needed part for "Black Healing" collectively. A little more about the author (taken from www.bellhooksbooks.com): Gloria Jean Watkins, or her famous pen name, bell hooks, is one such person. As an American feminist, author, social activist and African American woman, Hooks has been a party to inequality at its finest. Her pen name comes from her great-grandmother on her mother's side, Bell Blair Hooks, a woman who was known for always speaking her mind. Drawing inspiration from this strong woman, Hooks works to draw attention to the issues and write from the heart. Hooks draws her inspiration from her life, her experiences, and the hope for a better future. Through her postmodernist perspective she has addressed a wide range of issues including race, class, gender in education, sexuality, art, history, mass media, and of course, feminism. Hooks has proven time and again that despite the hurdles and challenges that have been set before her, she is not afraid of the challenge. Hooks continues to teach and work at Berea College as well as her writing and continues to address issues that many find too sensitive to deal with. Hooks works to end the oppression, end the racism, and end the sexism that has become so deeply ingrained in our society. Through her continued dedication and work, Hooks hopes that her example may be the one that makes the ultimate difference in tipping the scales toward true equality. All I'm saying is, you MIGHT want to go and buy this book .

African Americans have been present in Paris for centuries, with a significant number of them living in the city during the early 20th century. Many were artists, writers, and musicians who were drawn to the city's cultural scene. The period between the two World Wars is often referred to as the "Harlem Renaissance in Paris" because of the number of Black artists, writers, and musicians who lived and worked there at the time. They were part of a larger community of expatriates, which included many other Americans and Europeans. This period saw the emergence of jazz and the birth of the literary genre of the "Negro novel".
