Into a Light Both Brilliant and Unseen
Pereira's collection of interviews with leading contemporary African American poets Wanda Coleman, Yusef Komunyakaa, Thylias Moss, Harryette Mullen, Cornelius Eady, Elizabeth Alexander, Rita Dove, and Cyrus Cassells offers an in-depth look at the cultural and aesthetic perspectives of the post-Black Arts Movement generation.
Gender in Germany and Beyond
Jean Quataert redefined the boundaries of at least five historical fields including European socialism, women’s history and gender history, and international law and human rights. In this volume dedicated to her pioneering work, established and emerging scholars showcase the signature ways in which Quataert, as one of the discipline’s first women’s historians, has influenced how subsequent generations think about history writing as a form of intellectual activism. Gender in Germany and Beyond presents cutting edge historiographical commentary alongside new work which address subjects such as the history of German colonialism and women’s colonial leagues, human rights advocacy during the Cold War, and the complexities of turn of the century gay and lesbian rights organizing.
The Riot Inside Me
"The Riot Inside Me finds the author at the bloody crossroads where art and politics, the personal and the political, and Southern California and the wider world meet and trade blows before resuming their separate paths. The twenty-five items gathered here - a "hopscotch" of essays, memoirs, interviews, journal entries, letters, and reports - are divided into four sections. One collects intimate autobiographical pieces, including a moving portrait of her late first husband, a moth drawn to the flames of the more extreme forms of '60s radicalism. Another is reserved for polemics, mainly issues of Black, White, Brown, and Yellow. A third reprints Coleman's infamous "bad" review of Maya Angelou's A Song Flung Up to Heaven - "the most controversial piece I've written" - and a caustically funny report on its fallout. The book concludes with a group of essays on racial violence, poetry and the post-9/11 mindset, topical pieces that are sardonic when it comes to politics and groups but, like all of Coleman's writing, tender and hopeful when it comes to individuals."--BOOK JACKET.
Men of Our Time
In this groundbreaking volume, Fred Moramarco and Al Zolynas bring together a comprehensive and widely representative selection of poetry reflecting both the diversity and commodity of male experience in the United States today. Since the beginning of the contemporary phase of the women's movement in the 1960s, various anthologies devoted to the poetry of women have articulated and defined a distinctive sensibility attuned to the particularities of a woman's life in our time. Although much has been written recently about the male role in our society as well, the discussion generally has assumed a sociopsychological or mythic perspective. Poetry, Moramarco and Zolynas believe, can reveal most...
In the Maw of the Earth Monster
As portals to the supernatural realm that creates and animates the universe, caves have always been held sacred by the peoples of Mesoamerica. From ancient times to the present, Mesoamericans have made pilgrimages to caves for ceremonies ranging from rituals of passage to petitions for rain and a plentiful harvest. So important were caves to the pre-Hispanic peoples that they are mentioned in Maya hieroglyphic writing and portrayed in the Central Mexican and Oaxacan pictorial codices. Many ancient settlements were located in proximity to caves. This volume gathers papers from twenty prominent Mesoamerican archaeologists, linguists, and ethnographers to present a state-of-the-art survey of ri...

Native in a Strange Land
In this substantial selection of her occasional journalism, poet Wanda Coleman has judiciously reshaped articles, essays, interviews and columns written over three decades (for, among other places, the Los Angeles Times. L.A. Weekly and The Free Press) into a nearly-seamless personal narrative: "a tour through the restless emotional topography of Los Angeles as glimpsed through the scattered fragments of my living memory".
