Description

When Chickenheads Come Home to Roost: A Hip-Hop Feminist Breaks It Down"Morgan has given an entire generation of Black feminists space and language to center their pleasures alongside their politics." Janet Mock, New York Times bestselling author of Redefining Realness "All that and then some, Chickenheads informs and educates, confronts and charms, raises the bar high by getting down low, and, to steal my favorite Joan Morgan phrase, bounced me out of the room." Marlon James, Man Booker Prize winning author of A Brief

"Morgan has given an entire generation of Black feminists space and language to center their pleasures alongside their politics." --Janet Mock, New York Times bestselling author of Redefining Realness

"All that and then some, Chickenheads informs and educates, confronts and charms, raises the bar high by getting down low, and, to steal my favorite Joan Morgan phrase, bounced me out of the room." --Marlon James, Man Booker Prize-winning author of A Brief History of Seven Killings

Still as fresh, funny, and ferociously honest as ever, this piercing meditation on the fault lines between hip-hop and feminism captures the most intimate thoughts of the post-Civil Rights, post-feminist, post-soul generation.

Award-winning journalist Joan Morgan offers a provocative and powerful look into the life of the modern Black woman: a complex world in which feminists often have not-so-clandestine affairs with the most sexist of men, where women who treasure their independence frequently prefer men who pick up the tab, where the deluge of babymothers and babyfathers reminds Black women who long for marriage that traditional nuclear families are a reality for less than forty percent of the population, and where Black women are forced to make sense of a world where truth is no longer black and white but subtle, intriguing shades of gray.

Spectacular story everyone should read
Format: Kindle
Although long, this book is simply a spectacular story that everyone should read. Even for the most informed, you will learn something new in every chapter. The 2008 financial crash is one of those rare events that will effect almost everyone on earth and certainly everyone in the US. As Tooze details, that crash is going to cost the US more than $20 trillion and has caused deep and dramatic social and political upheavals. The impact in Europe and around the world has been and continues to be no less far-reaching. For anyone who wants to understand the social, cultural, political and economic fault lines around the world today, this book is a must-read. It's deeply informed, comprehensive and insightful in surprising ways even for those who think they've already read everything worthwhile about the financial crash, economic crisis and political developments. Read it and then give it to someone else to read (or buy them one as a gift!).
