Burton aspired to offer her community in South Central Los Angeles the same resources and opportunities available to those in more affluent communities. Personal experience has taught Burton that incarceration is a tale of two systems: one in which some are granted grace and the other in which people are condemned.

Alan Ball, the creator of HBO's Six Feet Under Though most of the intrigue doesn't come till halfway through, Harris keeps the action going nonstop in this bubbly brew of supernatural spice and whimsical whodunit that's more fun than a barrel of beignets. Sookie and Amelia Broadway, Hadley's landlady and a pretty cool witch, immediately discover a mess of trouble left behind in Hadley's closet, and Sookie's soon neck-deep in even more. Still, she'd led a lively existence as the main squeeze of the Queen of Louisiana, an omnisexual vampire, whose political marriage to the King of Arkansas occurred the night before Hadley's demise.

The authors incorporate recent scholarship to examine slavery, the Civil War, Reconstruction, and the period between World War I and World War II (including the Harlem Renaissance).įrom Slavery to Freedom describes the rise of slavery, the interaction of European and African cultures in the New World, and the emergence of a distinct culture and way of life among slaves and free blacks.

Though it reads like a plucky sci-fi adventure serial, at Herland’s heart is an unapologetically feminist treatise. I think that’s what is so deeply, viscerally empowering about Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s 1915 novella Herland, in which three swaggering male explorers discover a lost civilization populated entirely by women. “Cool” girls don’t complain.Īs a loud, stubborn, happily non-cool girl, I’ve grown accustomed to almost never seeing myself represented in media (except as a hairy, bra-burning punchline). Body positivity is not a “cool” segment of identity politics. It’s not “cool” to complain about sexism in the current blockbuster movie. It’s not “cool” to call out your friend’s racist joke. Cultural messaging is powerful, and for decades (centuries?) the message, not coincidentally, has been that being a feminist is profoundly not cool. Even in 2015, the word feminism still has a chilling effect on most rooms: in certain internet circles, it’s thrown around like a slur female pop stars and actors bend over backwards to emphasise that they’re into equality and stuff, but not in a scary way. However, there was a sense the whole time, as I was flying through it, that it shouldn’t be so easy for me to read. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this novel and I could hardly put it down. It is compelling and exciting, and has an air of mystery woven into the rest of the story that leaves you wanting to read more and more each time you pick it up. Now this is a long book, about 570 pages, and I read it in a matter of a couple days. When I found it at a thrift store for a good price, I just had to have it and read it right away. I also love reading (or watching or learning) anything about World War II, so I was even more excited to give this book a try. Everyone seems to love it, so I have had it on my radar for a while. The Nightingale has been a Booktube favorite for as long as I have been watching videos on there. I liked it, but it certainly wasn’t the best thing I have ever read and it didn’t really meet my expectations – expectations that were heightened because of all of the hype surrounding it. “She was crying for it all at last–for the pain and loss and fear and anger, for the war and what it had done to her and to all of them, for the knowledge of evil she could never shake, for the horror of where she’d been and what she’d done to survive.” |
