Book excerpt: "This is the first book-length project to examine the relationship between blackness, queerness, and hip hop. Using aesthetics as its organizing lens, Hip Hop Heresies attends to the ways that hip hop cultural production in New York City from the 1970s through the first fifteen years of the 21st century produced hip hop cultural products (film, visual art, and music) that offer "queer articulations" of race, gender, and sexuality that are contrary to hegemonic ideas and representations of those categories in hip hop production, as well as in writing about hip hop culture"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is the 'Full Gospel Baptist Church' truly Baptist, or is it Pentecostalism in disguise? Is the growing trend towards women serving as preachers and pastors biblical? Is the 'mega-church mania' that is sweeping the country doctrinally sound? Dr. Burwell not only addresses these issues, but he also issues a stinging indictment against the leadership of the National Baptist Conventions for their failure to develop and adopt doctrinal stances on these and other controversies. Falling prey, he says, to the fear of another convention split, the leadership has chosen to hide behind the veil of autonomy, sacrificing doctrine on the altar of dollars. As such, the National Baptist church has lost its identity and its distinctiveness. In a call for doctrinal integrity, Sho Nuff offers a biblical examination of more than a dozen major and minor controversies from a uniquely National Baptist perspective. Dr. Bill Burwell is a former Black nationalist who was converted to Christianity in 1978, after serving as co-founder, professor, and chairman of the Afro-American Studies department at California State University, Northridge for ten years. Leaving his pursuit of the PhD degree at the University of Southern California, and resigning his tenured position at the university in 1981, Dr. Burwell became a full-time seminarian pursuing the Master of Divinity Degree at Talbot Theological Seminary in La Mirada California, where after assisting in the development of a Minority Ministers Program; he briefly joined the faculty teaching at both the graduate and undergraduate level. After organizing and serving as Pastor-Teacher of the First Berean Christian Church in Los Angeles for eight years, Dr. Burwell left the pastorate and embarked upon the unique ministry of a full-time teaching evangelist. In addition to serving as a commentary writer for the NBC, USA Sunday School Publishing Board, he was a regular lecturer for more than six years at the National Conference of Christian educators held each December at the World Baptist Center in Nashville, TN. Over the past seventeen years he, with his faithful wife Kathy at his side, has traveled more than a million miles in the USA, the Virgin Islands, and Germany serving as Christian education consultant and lecturer to dozens of local Baptist district associations, state and national conventions. He and his wife Kathy currently reside in Palm Springs, California where they play active roles in the lives of their eight children and thirteen grandchildren.

Book excerpt: The vivid and absorbing story of a man whose unwavering pursuit of success leaves him searching for the true meaning of life Raised in rural Arkansas during the Great Depression, Frank “Son” Wynn leaves home at age fourteen to seek his fortune. Handsome, charismatic, and headstrong, he eventually becomes a powder man, selling dynamite up and down the Mississippi River. With a single-minded determination, he expands his business at every opportunity, foreseeing the crucial role his product will play in constructing dams and levees to bring the region’s annual flooding under control. Step by step, over the course of a long and challenging career, Son outmaneuvers his competitors and achieves a level of prosperity far removed from his humble beginnings. He is the quintessential self-made man—impressive and exasperating in equal measure, the cheerful expression he wears to greet customers masking the giant chip on his shoulder. His health failing, Son retires and finds that all those years of striving have built a wall between him and his family. His wife has never forgiven him for not coming home for the birth of their daughter. A young woman now, Laurel is barely more than a stranger to her father. As his condition worsens and his past accomplishments lose their luster, Son must ask himself if a lifetime of success came at too great a price. With Laurel at his bedside, he has one last chance to connect, to create something of true and everlasting value. Will he be brave enough to take it? A rich and satisfying portrait of one man’s life from beginning to end, Old Powder Man affirmed Joan Williams’s reputation as one of the most skillful and psychologically astute novelists of her generation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1972 to 1976, Hollywood made an unprecedented number of films targeted at black audiences. But following this era known as “blaxploitation,” the momentum suddenly reversed for black filmmakers, and a large void separates the end of blaxploitation from the black film explosion that followed the arrival of Spike Lee’s She's Gotta Have It in 1986. Illuminating an overlooked era in African American film history, Trying to Get Over is the first in-depth study of black directors working during the decade between 1977 and 1986. Keith Corson provides a fresh definition of blaxploitation, lays out a concrete reason for its end, and explains the major gap in African American representation during the years that followed. He focuses primarily on the work of eight directors—Michael Schultz, Sidney Poitier, Jamaa Fanaka, Fred Williamson, Gilbert Moses, Stan Lathan, Richard Pryor, and Prince—who were the only black directors making commercially distributed films in the decade following the blaxploitation cycle. Using the careers of each director and the twenty-four films they produced during this time to tell a larger story about Hollywood and the shifting dialogue about race, power, and access, Corson shows how these directors are a key part of the continuum of African American cinema and how they have shaped popular culture over the past quarter century.
