  By turns hilarious, candid, and heartbreaking, this powerful book takes the straitjacket off Black history. 
   
   
   
  A refreshing, insightful, sacrilegious take on African American history, Crazy as Hell explores the site of America's greatest contradictions. The notables of this book are the runaways and the rebels, the badass and funky, the activists and the inmates—from Harriet Tubman, Nina Simone, and Muhammad Ali to B'rer Rabbit, Single Mamas, and Wakandans—but are they crazy as hell, or do they simply defy the expectations designated for being Black in America? 
   
   
   
  With humor and insight, scholars and writers V. Efua Prince and Hoke S. Glover III (Bro. Yao) offer brief breakdowns of one hundred influential, archetypal, and infamous figures, building a new framework that emphasizes their humanity. Peppered with little-known historical facts and PSAs that get real about the Black experience, Crazy as Hell captures the tenacious, irreverent spirit that accompanies a long struggle for freedom.

  This is small copy of introduction of the book: Welcome to the journey of discovery as we delve into the life and legacy of one of history's most remarkable figures, Christine de Pizan. In this biography, we will unveil the story of a woman who not only defied the norms of her time but also laid the foundation for feminist thought that continues to resonate today. 
  Christine de Pizan, born in 1364 in Venice, Italy, embarked on a path that would challenge the conventions of the late medieval period. Her life unfolded against the backdrop of a society where opportunities for women were severely limited, yet she rose above these constraints to become a trailblazing writer, philosopher, and advocate for women's rights. 
  This journey will take us through the significant moments of Christine's life, from her early education and marriage to her widowhood, when she turned to writing to support her family. We will explore her literary achievements, including masterpieces like "The Book of the City of Ladies" and "The Book of the Queen," which not only celebrated the virtues of women but also criticized the prevailing misogyny of her era.
