Rock 'n' roll appeared in the 1950s as the high-energy, electrically amplified music of young dancers and listeners, first in the United States and then around the globe, and from the beginning it symbolized more than music. First popularized as a marketing rubric to sell African-American rhythm and blues to white teenagers, it stood for racial integration, sexual freedom, youthful rebellion, and for change and modernity. It was never a single kind of music, and historians disagree about when it began and which artists or records should be included in its canon—but it was always a flashpoint, whether condemned as an assault on cultural standards or hailed as the most exciting movement of the twentieth century.This Very Short Introduction explores the complex musical styles and evolutions of the genre and also examines it as product, symbol, and vehicle of societal change. The introduction seamlessly integrates the genre with elements of 1955-1965's mass influence, including the rise of television and niche radio formats, the civil rights movement, a new concept of "teenagers" as a unique age group, and a sexual revolution. Rock 'n' Roll traces the rise and trajectories of the styles and musicians grouped as rock 'n' roll and their journey to becoming emblems of much more.Ver libro

Since the first day after the tragedy was announced, controversy has surrounded the death of rap and cultural icon Tupac Shakur. In this work, preeminent researcher on the topic, John Potash, puts forward his own theories of the events leading up to and following the murder in this meticulously researched and exhaustive account of the story. Never before has there been such a detailed and shocking analysis of the untimely death of one of the greatest musicians of the modern era. The FBI War on Tupac Shakur contains a wealth of names, dates, and events detailing the use of unscrupulous tactics by the Federal Bureau of Investigation against a generation of leftist political leaders and musicians. Based on twelve years of research and including extensive footnotes, sources include over 100 interviews, FOIA-released CIA and FBI documents, court transcripts, and mainstream media outlets. Beginning with the birth of the Civil Rights Movement in America, Potash illustrates the ways in which the FBI and the United States government conspired to take down and dismantle the various burgeoning activist and revolutionary groups forming at the time. From Martin Luther King Jr. to Malcolm X to Fred Hampton, the methods used to thwart their progress can be seen repeated again and again in the 80s and 90s against later revolutionary groups, musicians, and, most notably, Tupac Shakur. Buckle up for this winding, shocking, and unbelievable tale as John Potash reveals the dark underbelly of our government and their treatment of some of our most beloved Black icons.Ver libro
Emoting is a chapbook that explores the delicate and often overwhelming nature of human emotions through a series of evocative, introspective short-form narratives and poems. Each piece captures a fleeting moment, a spark of feeling, or an emotional truth that lingers long after the reader has read the words. From joy to sorrow, from rage to quiet contemplation, the chapbook delves deep into the nuances of the emotional landscape, challenging readers to confront their own complex inner worlds. With stark imagery and raw, unfiltered language, Emoting invites readers to experience the vulnerability and power that comes with expressing the things we often leave unspoken. Through fragmented narratives and moments of stillness, piece after piece illuminates the ways in which we process and navigate our feelings in a world that sometimes demands we keep them hidden. At its core, Emoting is a celebration of the emotional spectrum — reminding us that our emotions, however messy or difficult, are what make us human. Each narrative and poem serves as an intimate exploration of what it means to feel deeply and to allow those feelings to shape our lives, even in their most chaotic and untamed forms.Ver libro
