Some Of Us Did Not Die: Selected EssaysBasic Books, 5 авг. 2009 г. - Всего страниц: 320 “Forty years of tireless activism coupled with and fueled by flawless art.” —Toni Morrison Some of Us Did Not Die brings together the seminal essays of June Jordan, the widely acclaimed Black American writer known for her fierce commitment to human rights and political activism. Spanning the length of her extraordinary career, and including her last writings, the essays in this collection reveal Jordan as an incisive analyst of injustice, democracy, and literature. Willing to venture into the most painful contradictions of culture and politics, Jordan comes back with lyrical honesty, wit, and wide-ranging intelligence that resonates sharply to this day. |
