Title: Eloquent Rage: A Black Feminist Discovers Her Superpower

Author: Brittney Cooper

Narrator: Brittney Cooper

Format: Unabridged

Length: 06:58:00

Language: English

Release date: 02-20-18

Summary:

'...Cooper delivers a frank, conversational-style examination of the importance of black female friendships, respectability politics, and harmful stereotypes, among other topics. She blends candor and humor as she roots out toxic behaviors and beliefs we use in America to tear ourselves and each other down, while also offering paths forward. Listeners learn how rage, aimed with fine-tuned focus and purpose, can help build up black women's lives and society overall.' AudioFile Magazine

With searing honesty, intimacy and humor too, Americas leading young black feminist celebrates the power of rage in this piercing new audiobook.

So what if its true that Black women are mad as hell? They have the right to be. In the Black feminist tradition of Audre Lorde, Brittney Cooper reminds us that anger is a powerful source of energy that can give us the strength to keep on fighting.

Far too often, Black womens anger has been caricatured into an ugly and destructive force that threatens the civility and social fabric of American democracy. But Cooper shows us that there is more to the story than that. Black womens eloquent rage is what makes Serena Williams such a powerful tennis player. Its what makes Beyoncés girl power anthems resonate so hard. Its what makes Michelle Obama an icon.

Eloquent rage keeps us all honest and accountable. It reminds women that they dont have to settle for less. When Cooper learned of her grandmother's eloquent rage about love, sex, and marriage in an epic and hilarious front-porch confrontation, her life was changed. And it took another intervention, this time staged by one of her homegirls, to turn Brittney into the fierce feminist she is today. In Brittney Coopers world, neither mean girls nor fuckboys ever win. But homegirls emerge as heroes. This audiobook argues that ultimately feminism, friendship, and faith in one's own superpowers are all we really need to turn things right side up again.

More Praise for Eloquent Rage:

I was waiting for an author who wouldnt forget, ignore, or erase us black girls as they told their own story...I was waiting and she has comein Brittney Cooper. Melissa Harris Perry

Cooper may be the boldest young feminist writing today. Her critique is sharp, her love of Black people and Black culture is deep, and she will make you laugh out loud. Michael Eric Dyson

In 2013 Evan Spiegel, the brash CEO of the social network Snapchat, and his co-founder Bobby Murphy stunned the press when they walked away from a three-billion-dollar offer from Facebook: how could an app teenagers use to text dirty photos dream of a higher valuation? Was this hubris, or genius?

In How to Turn Down a Billion Dollars, tech journalist Billy Gallagher takes us inside the rise of one of Silicon Valleys hottest start-ups. Snapchat began as a late-night dorm room revelation, the brainchild of Stanford English major Reggie Brown who was nursing regrets about photos he had sent. After an epic feud between best friends, Brown lost the company to Spiegel, who has gone on to make a name for himself as a visionaryif ruthlessCEO worth billions, linked to celebrities like Taylor Swift and his fiancée, Miranda Kerr.

A fellow Stanford undergrad and fraternity brother of the companys founding trio, Gallagher has covered Snapchat from the start. He brings unique access to a company Bloomberg Business called a cipher in the Silicon Valley technology community. Gallagher offers insight into challenges Snapchat faces as it transitions from a playful app to one of the tech industrys preeminent public companies. In the tradition of great business narratives, How to Turn Down a Billion Dollars offers the definitive account of a company whose goal is no less than to remake the future of entertainment.

Praise for How to Turn Down a Billion Dollars:

'If you're as confused as I was about Snapchat, whether to swipe left or right, or why the company has so captivated users and mystified Wall Street, you must read Billy Gallagher's penetrating portrait of the company's early days and the rise of its imperious founder, Evan Spiegel.' Brad Stone, author of The Everything Store and The Upstarts

'An intimate and entertaining look at one of the world's most misunderstood tech companies, told in a way that, amazingly, will resonate with both Snapchat devotees and those who have never used the app.' Blake J. Harris, author of Console Wars
