Format: Unabridged

Length: 07:25:44

Language: English

Release date: 09-14-21

Publisher: Recorded Books

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Fiction & Literature, Essays & Anthologies

Summary:

Kei Miller explores the silence in which so many important things are kept. He examines the experience of discrimination through this silence and what it means to breach it: to risk words, to risk truths. And he considers the histories our bodies

inheritthe crimes that haunt them, and how meaning can shift as we move throughout the world, variously assuming privilege or victimhood.

Through letters to James Baldwin, encounters with Liam Neeson, Soca, Carnival, family secrets, love affairs, white womens tears, questions of aesthetics and more, Miller powerfully and imaginatively recounts everyday acts of racism and prejudice.

Things I Have Withheld is a great artistic achievement which challenges us to interrogate what seems unsayable and whyour actions, defence mechanisms, imaginations and interactionsand those of the world around us.

Title: Read Until You Understand: The Profound Wisdom of Black Life and Literature

Author: Farah Jasmine Griffin

Narrator: Farah Jasmine Griffin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 07:56:39

Language: English

Release date: 09-14-21

Publisher: Recorded Books

Genres: History, Biography & Memoir, Fiction & Literature, North America, Literary Criticism

Summary:

A BRILLIANT SCHOLAR IMPARTS THE LESSONS BEQUEATHED BY THE BLACK COMMUNITY AND ITS REMARKABLE ARTISTS AND THINKERS.

Farah Jasmine Griffin has taken to her heart the phrase read until you understand, a line her father, who died when she was nine, wrote in a note to her. She has made it central to this book about love of the majestic power of words and love of the magnificence of Black life.

Griffin has spent years rooted in the culture of Black genius and the legacy of books that her father left her. A beloved professor, she has devoted herself to passing these works and their wisdom on to generations of students.

Here, she shares a lifetime of discoveries: the ideas that inspired the stunning oratory of Frederick Douglass and Malcolm X, the soulful music of Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder, the daring literature of Phillis Wheatley and Toni Morrison,

the inventive artistry of Romare Bearden, and many more. Exploring these works through such themes as justice, rage, self-determination, beauty, joy, and mercy allows her to move from her aunts love of yellow roses to Gil Scott-Herons Winter in America.

Griffin entwines memoir, history, and art while she keeps her finger on the pulse of the present, asking us to grapple with the continuing struggle for Black freedom and the ongoing project that is American democracy. She challenges us to reckon

with our commitment to all the nations inhabitants and our responsibilities to all humanity.
