Jim Crow Wisdom
How do we balance the desire for tales of exceptional accomplishment with the need for painful doses of reality? How hard do we work to remember our past or to forget it? These are some of the questions that Jonathan Scott Holloway addresses in this exploration of race memory from the dawn of the modern civil rights era to the present. Relying on social science, documentary film, dance, popular literature, museums, memoir, and the tourism trade, Holloway explores the stories black Americans have told about their past and why these stories are vital to understanding a modern black identity. In the process, Holloway asks much larger questions about the value of history and facts when memories do violence to both. Making discoveries about his own past while researching this book, Holloway weaves first-person and family memories into the traditional third-person historian's perspective. The result is a highly readable, rich, and deeply personal narrative that will be familiar to some, shocking to others, and thought-provoking to everyone.
Support Our Drones
Poetry is not the domain of the elite. Poetry traps Strunk and White in a steel barrel and plunges them over a roaring waterfall. Poetry nose dives, screaming above the drone of history, razor close until you smell its carnivore breath and glimpse your own silhouette reflection in its cataract eyes. Poetry is not search engine optimized. No algorithm can hold it, no logic model predict the lumbering swing of its axe against the glacier of apathy it climbs. Poetry leaps the icy chasm in its path, its laugh echoing down the abyss. It chainsaws the zenith off and leaves a jagged terminal preposition. Poetry drops the fetters of meter and rhyme like Houdini shedding handcuffs. It is the wild beating heart of the trained bear that makes him point his unicycle toward the exit. Poetry is making, forming, creating, genesis, the big bang, the sound of hammer on chisel. Poetry is air molecules filling a vacuum. Poetry is the fire that devours Rome. We are entrusted with that fire. We feed it the fuel of our lives.
