You Are Important, Valuable, Equal, Good Enough, Adequate... you are our BLACK BROTHER
The nation continues to witness the discrimination, inequality, mistreatment, and marginalization of Black Men. What can we do to preserve ourselves? In this book, one will find the answer to the aforementioned question.
Meet 44 authentic Black Men who have shared words of perseverance, wisdom, hope, and achievement. The writings will cultivate a deeper sense of self-worth, build character, and set a standard of living for every black male, in whose hands it is placed. Letters To Our Brothers is a collection of letters, prose, and quotes written by Black Men to encourage, motivate, challenge and support other Black Men.
Authors of the letters represent black men from various socioeconomic statuses, diverse childhoods, careers, ages, household compositions, religious belief systems, and different life experiences. Some of the authors shared their personal stories of overcoming adversity, while others provided tools and techniques for success. Overall, all authors were intentional about ensuring their brothers received a message of hope and love.
From his film festival debut Hard Eight to ambitious studio epics Boogie Nights, Magnolia, and There Will Be Blood, Paul Thomas Anderson’s unique cinematic vision focuses on postmodern excess and media culture. In Blossoms and Blood, Jason Sperb studies the filmmaker’s evolving aesthetic and its historical context to argue that Anderson’s films create new, often ambivalent, narratives of American identity in a media-saturated world.
Blossoms and Blood explores Anderson’s films in relation to the aesthetic and economic shifts within the film industry and to America’s changing social and political sensibilities since the mid-1990s. Sperb provides an auteur study with important implications for film history, media studies, cultural studies, and gender studies. He charts major themes in Anderson’s work, such as stardom, self-reflexivity, and masculinity and shows how they are indicative of trends in late twentieth-century American culture. One of the first books to focus on Anderson’s work, Blossoms and Blood reveals the development of an under-studied filmmaker attuned to the contradictions of a postmodern media culture.
