Powell cites the work of many others -- poets, philosophers, hip-hop artists, politicians, musicians, feminists -- throughout the book. I learned a great deal by looking up these people and by reading brief biographies on-line. His mind and knowledge are expansive but rooted in his own experiences. He has and writes with the integrity of someone who knows himself well enough to want to write well about others. The Kevin Powell Reader would be a useful source for writing instructors. As a white, senior, raised-in-the-suburbs professional woman with radio dial tuned to "classical," I may not have been Powell's choice for an early reviewer. To do his book justice meant listening to artists who were decades old, but new to me. I'm grateful to Kevin Powell for writing so well that he made me want to explore, and to the Library Thing early reviewer's program for introducing us. I'll be reading more of his work. ![]() geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"Kevin Powell is one of the most prolific and acclaimed American writers, thinkers, activists, and public speakers of the past three decades. His writings are important contributions to our national conversations on race, gender, class, politics, pop culture, celebrity, hip-hop, and the past, present, and future of the United States. The Kevin Powell Reader is an electric and deeply inspiring selection from Powell's lifework, spanning the Reagan-Bush years of AIDS and crack epidemics to our current era framed by the COVID-19 pandemic; the tragic killing of George Floyd; the #MeToo movement; and much more. In a journey that has produced fifteen books, countless cover stories, hundreds of published pieces, and definitive writings on iconic figures like Stacey Abrams, Dave Chappelle, Kerry Washington, Sidney Poitier, Cicely Tyson, Kobe Bryant, Tupac Shakur, Aretha Franklin, and Kendrick Lamar, Powell is a voice for our times, and a voice that is timeless. This collection also tracks Powell's personal struggles and his unwavering honesty about himself and the world around him. The Kevin Powell Reader captures twenty-first-century America with hope, insight, and the urgent need to preserve freedom and justice for all people"--Amazon.com.
