  Black Country Music - Listening...

  Black Country Music tells the story of how Black musicians have changed the country music landscape and brought light to Black creativity and innovation. 
  After a century of racist whitewashing, country music is finally reckoning with its relationship to Black people. In this timely work—the first book on Black country music by a Black writer—Francesca Royster uncovers the Black performers and fans, including herself, who are exploring the pleasures and possibilities of the genre. 
   
  Informed by queer theory and Black feminist scholarship, Royster’s book elucidates the roots of the current moment found in records like Tina Turner’s first solo album, Tina Turns the Country On! She reckons with Black “bros” Charley Pride and Darius Rucker, then chases ghosts into the future with Valerie June. Indeed, it is the imagination of Royster and her artists that make this music so exciting for a genre that has long been obsessed with the past. The futures conjured by June and others can be melancholy, and are not free of racism, but by centering Black folk Royster begins to understand what her daughter hears in the banjo music of Our Native Daughters and the trap beat of Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road.” A Black person claiming country music may still feel a bit like a queer person coming out, but, collectively, Black artists and fans are changing what country music looks and sounds like—and who gets to love it.

  Psyche’s Awakening - A Guide to...

  READ BY THE AUTHOR 
  Ancient Greek mythology meets the best of today’s self-healing insights for a hero’s journey you won’t soon forget: your own. 
  It’s a tale as old as time: a seeker steps out from the familiar into the unknown, facing great danger on the way to enlightenment. While in ancient myth the hero must slay a monster, in real life you must conquer the challenges within. This emotional quest invokes an inner alchemy, transforming wounds into wisdom, shame into self-forgiveness, and pain into purpose. In Psyche’s Awakening, psychotherapist Gillian O’Shea Brown turns to these epic dramas as mirrors and maps guiding you to rediscover powers of resilience and wisdom within waiting to be claimed. 
  The Greek myths are some of the most enduring stories of all time because their archetypal energies are alive in us today, woven into our psyche and shaping our thoughts, behaviors, and experiences as we move through life. We have much to learn from Medusa’s body-based trauma, Sisyphus’s pattern of pain (known as “the bite that fits the wound”), Pygmalion's boundary work and emotional walls, Icarus's efforts to balance the dignity of risk with the duty of care, and Chiron’s transformation beyond trauma in becoming “the wounded healer.” 
  Through vibrant mythical retellings and evidence-based, trauma-informed psychological insights, Psyche’s Awakening will support your journey with:Somatic exercises such as breathwork, body scans, and grounding ritualsGuided tools for charting your erotic-emotional mapTechniques for social pruning and revitalizing your relationshipsCompassionate shadow work and self-healing practices 
  As Gillian writes, “The greatest adventure you will ever embark on is the journey back to yourself. This path is rich with unexpected twists, turns, heartbreak, fear, and the vital experience of learning to release what no longer serves you.” This book is your map to this sacred awakening.
