Beschreibung

In "The Lone Black Pioneer: Oscar Micheaux Boxed Set," readers are invited into the rich narratives crafted by Oscar Micheaux, an influential figure in early 20th-century literature and cinema. This boxed set encapsulates Micheaux'Äôs unique literary style, characterized by a blend of stark realism and imaginative storytelling. It reflects the sociocultural landscape of post-Reconstruction America, exploring themes of identity, race, and resilience through the experiences of Black pioneers. The collection showcases Micheaux's innovative use of vernacular dialogue and vivid imagery, establishing a literary context that bridges African American experiences with broader American narratives. Oscar Micheaux, often hailed as the first major African American filmmaker, turned to literature as a means to address racial injustices and celebrate Black identity. Born into poverty in Illinois, Micheaux's first-hand experiences with racism and his relentless spirit of entrepreneurship motivated him to tell stories that highlighted the dignity and struggles of African Americans. His work desires to counter the dominant narratives of his time, giving voice to a marginalized population in both literature and film. This boxed set is highly recommended for readers seeking a profound understanding of African American history and literature. Micheaux'Äôs pioneering spirit and unflinching honesty render his narratives essential for anyone looking to grasp the complexities of race and identity in American culture. With this set, one not only recognizes Micheaux'Äôs legacy but also appreciates the rich tapestry of Black life that he so passionately chronicled.

The works examine East-South relations from the standpoints of international trade patterns, financial transfers, military relations including their economic angle, interactions within the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), and the international legal framework for trade embedded in the “socialist offensive in international law.” The chapters provide extensive bibliographies making this volume a handbook  of great interest not only to researchers, but also to university students and the general public.

    Marcus Garvey's The Tragedy of White Injustice is a powerful indictment of white racism and colonialism. Garvey argues that the white race has a long history of oppressing and exploiting non-white people all over the world, and that white racism is not simply a matter of individual prejudice, but rather a deeply ingrained system of oppression that is maintained by white institutions and social structures. Garvey also discusses the impact of white racism on Black people, arguing that it has caused them to suffer physical, psychological, and spiritual damage, and has prevented them from reaching their full potential. Garvey's book is a call to action for Black people to unite and resist oppression, and to build their own institutions and economies so that they can achieve self-determination.

    Swoon is a prehistory of the fangirl. From the Byromaniacs of Regency London to the screamers of Beatlemania, it revisits six defining moments in book, film and music history through the eyes of the girls and women who gave birth to pop culture as we know it today.
    Far from passive consumers, these women were tastemakers, visionaries and cultural disruptors. Their obsessions shaped literary canons, built Hollywood icons and turned musicians into messiahs – long before social media came along. But with power came panic, especially when female fans and male stars were involved. Fandom became a moral and cultural battleground. What was at stake was women's right to want things they weren't supposed to want, feel things they weren't supposed to feel and express all these things loudly, shamelessly and in public.

    Do you want to improve your life and be happy and successful? 
    Do you want to use the law of attraction to live your wildest dreams?This amazing book is a collection of positive affirmations made specifically for my beautiful black queens! 
    We often struggle with negative emotions like anxiety and low self esteem in our teens and adulthood when we have not done the work to heal our inner child and truly nurture our mental health. If you find that these sentiments resonate with you, you may have come to realize that its time to begin loving yourself. 
    But how? 
    Positive affirmations are incredibly underrated. What they do not do is radically transform your mindset overnight. What they do is bring a sense of intentionality into your self-love journey. They are a symbol of your intent to reach emotional freedom and peace. With consistency, you can and will reverse the thinking patterns that are causing you emotional harm. 
    Why will this book help? 
    The simple answer is that it will serve as a constant reminder of the power of words: the beautiful and affirming words you can tell yourself to raise your vibration. It will help you to stop getting in your own way. It will be there as your support as you go through your journey to achieve radical self-love and joy. Instead of self-sabotaging, pick up this book and give yourself a little reminder of who you are. 
    This book is the first step to start living the life of your dreams, order your copy and make yourself a priority!

    When the Trinidadian novelist, Harold Sonny Ladoo was found dead soon after the publication of his classic novel, No Pain Like This Body, for Christopher Laird, it became an obsession to try to discover the writer behind the work and what had brought about his untimely end. Equal to Mystery – words written by Ladoo – is the record of that pursuit.
    
    When, as the editor of a Trinidadian literary journal in the radical years of the early 1970s, Christopher Laird was sent Harold Sonny Ladoo's novel, No Pain Like This Body (1973) to review, he knew he was looking at something revolutionary in Caribbean fiction. It is a novel that has recently been republished as a Penguin Modern Classic. But the next news Laird heard of Ladoo was that he had returned to Trinidad from Canada and had been found dead – very probably murdered – in the canefields outside his family's village of McBean. Laird follows in the path of Ladoo to Canada, where he went to make a name for himself as a writer, and tracks him as a student and young married man through conversations with his widow and other family members. He looks in detail at his relationships with two Canadian writers, Dennis Lee and Peter Such, who supported his work, and in Lee's case published him. Here there is an acute account of their meetings across the line of race, of the mix of generous contact and elusive flight in their relationship. Above all, with access to Ladoo's unpublished material -- short stories and fragments of the vast body of fiction he announced he was writing -- Laird offers acute analysis of what is there, honest bafflement about just what Ladoo was up to, with a tragic sense of the talent that was lost through his untimely death.
