Résultats pour "Box" dans Arts et littérature

Distilled over many years from Henry Louis Gates Jr's legendary Harvard course in African American Studies, The Black Box: Writing the Race is the story of Black self-definition in America through the prism of the writers who have led the way. From Phillis Wheatley and Frederick Douglass, W. E. B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington, to Zora Neale Hurston and Richard Wright, James Baldwin and Toni Morrison, these writers used words to create a liveable world – a “home” – for Black people destined to live in a bitterly racist society.

Have you ever felt boxed in by the limitations of your own life choices or other people's labels? In unboxing Blu, author and humorist Blu Wyatt takes us on a hilarious wild ride through her life and the many boxes she's found herself in--either by her own choices or other people's less-than-positive expectations. Through fourteen head injuries, a bipolar diagnosis, suicide attempts, and a daddy who said she'd never amount to anything, Blu Wyatt's story shouldn't have ended well--but it did, and she'll keep you laughing through it all!
