Описание: The book covers all the details concerning our philosophy of government, which is modeled on the philosophy of Aristotle but the Obama administration defacto switched it to that of the philosophy of Plato and an emperor who makes his own law. The book provides insight into the bad decisions and incompetence of Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Leon Panetta. Clearly, they were more worried about covering up ill-conceived, illegal, and arguably treasonous program than saving the lives of the brave men who put everything on the line for their country in Fast and Furious (border agent) and Benghazi-Chris Stevens, ambassador; Sean Smith, US State Department; Glen Doherty, former Seal; and Tyron Woods, former Seal. The book shows how our national government has become so out of step with our Constitution that men, not laws, now run our country. The Hillary statement after the deaths of the brave Seals stands out here for our form of government. Her question is relevant. "What difference does it make?" It makes a great deal of difference. Read the book to see why.

Описание: In Furiously Funny, Tucker finds that comic rage developed from black oral tradition and first shows up in literature by George Schuyler and Ralph Ellison shortly after World War II. He examines its role in novels and plays, following the growth of the expression to comics and stand-up comedy and film, where Richard Pryor, Spike Lee, Whoopi Goldberg, and Chris Rock have all used the technique. Connecting through humor to what is familiar in both mainstream and African American culture, works of comic rage are at the center of American racial dialogue. The simultaneous expression of comedy and militancy enables artists to reject white stereotypes of blackness and also to confront white audiences with America’s legacy of racial oppression. Tucker shows how this important art form continues to expand in new ways in the twenty-first century.

Описание:
Tanella Boni is a major African poet, and this book, The Future Has an Appointment with the Dawn, is her first full collection to be translated into English. These poems wrestle with the ethnic violence and civil war that dominated life in West Africa’s Ivory Coast in the first decade of the new millennium. Boni maps these events onto a mythic topography where people live among their ancestors and are subject to the whims of the powerful, who are at once magical and all too petty. The elements—the sun, the wind, the water—are animated as independent forces, beyond simile or metaphor. Words, too, are elemental, and the poet is present in the landscape—“during these times / I searched for the letters / for the perfect word.” Boni affirms her desire for hope in the face of ethno?cultural and state violence although she acknowledges that desiring to hope and hoping are not the same.

Описание:
Rhina P. Espaillat, judge of the 2014 Andr?s Montoya Poetry Prize, describes Furious Dusk, David Campos’s winning collection, as "a work whose five parts trace a son’s efforts—only partially successful—to fulfill his father’s expectations and—perhaps even more difficult—understand those expectations enough to forgive them.” The poet's reflections are catalyzed by learning of his father’s impending death, which, in turn, forces him to examine his father’s expectations against his own evolving concept of what it means to be a man.
The poems' speaker sifts through his past to find the speckles of memory that highlight the pressures to fit the mold of masculinity forged both by the Mexican culture of his father and the American culture he inhabits. The problematic norms of both rip the speaker in two directions as he recounts his father’s severe parenting, as he explores the inability to father a child, as he witnesses human suffering, as he overeats and confronts the effects on his body, and, finally, as he realizes what it means to transcend these expectations. The speaker’s epiphany frees him to reject masculine stereotypes and allows him to see himself simply as a human being. That realization, in turn, enables the speaker to see his father not only as “father,” “husband,” and “man,” but as a citizen of Earth.
Through Campos’s bold imagery and accessible language and themes, he memorably adds to the continuing conversation of the effects of cultural expectations on the children of immigrant parents.
