This book argues that ultimately feminism, friendship, and faith in one's own superpowers are all we really need to turn things right side up again. And it took another intervention, this time staged by one of her homegirls, to turn Cooper into the fierce feminist she is today. When Cooper learned of her grandmother's eloquent rage about love, sex, and marriage in an epic and hilarious front-porch confrontation, her life was changed. It reminds women that they don't have to settle for less. Eloquent rage keeps us all honest and accountable. It's what makes Beyoncé's girl power anthems resonate so hard. So what if it’s true that Black women are mad as hell They have the right to be. Black women's eloquent rage is what makes Serena Williams such a powerful tennis player. Eloquent Rage: A Black Feminist Discovers Her Superpower by Brittney Cooper was The Global Black Feminist Reading Circle’s Session 11 reading selection, Septemto November 27, 2018. But Cooper shows us that there is more to the story than that. In the Black feminist tradition of Audre Lorde, Brittney Cooper reminds us that anger is a powerful source of energy that can give us the strength to keep on fighting.Far too often, Black women's anger has been caricatured into an ugly and destructive force that threatens the civility and social fabric of American democracy. So what if it's true that Black women are mad as hell? They have the right to be.

Then the bell rings and we’re swept into another version of the events we just witnessed. The mystery of the first story instantly grabbed me and as that section wrapped up, I wondered where the narrative could possibly go. I knew that two librarian friends ( okay, one of them was Karyn) had already read and loved it but I had no hint of what it was about, or even what kind of book it would be. This may be a case of “right book, right time” for me alone and that’s okay too, because there’s a lot of craft that I admire in the writing. I’ll refrain from speculation though because I can only speak for myself. Joy: Okay, I was originally going to start my section by talking about my experience reading Jane, Unlimited but excuse me, two stars ? Seriously? Maybe it’s too weird and experimental for folks or it’s possible that it seems light to some readers because of the “choose-your-own-adventure” style and rompiness.

When his grandmother falls ill, he is forced to leave his idyllic life and attend a public school. Cap has grown up in a commune and has never attended a traditional school. This novel tells the story of Capricorn Anderson, a thirteen-year-old boy. Are you looking for a heartwarming and humorous coming-of-age story that will make you laugh, cry, and ultimately leave you feeling inspired? Look no further than Schooled by Gordon Korman. The US President and many of his followers have ramped up their racist provocations. Since then we’ve seen the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and many others. Surely, I thought, things would never get this bad, such normalization and societal complicity. Racial and economic tensions are not just in the background of the novel’s America: they have come fully into the open, with laws that overtly treat races differently based on the lie of safety and security for “all.” People of every walk of life have largely become resigned to it, have given up-even those progressively active in their past. The separations instead lie solely in the realm of the socio-political: this is 2018 or 2019, acutely augmented. Set in the near future, very little in this novel distinguishes the technology of its world from the present. It’s telling that my impressions of We Cast a Shadow have changed in small, but important, ways since I first read it months ago. |
