Lucas K: Must Be the Devil

Must Be the Devil

A personal meditation on, examination of, and tribute to Black single motherhood, unapologetically told through poignant essays and candid interviews, by a celebrated cultural critic. Through her signature candid, humorous and yet often biting takes, Lemieux suffers no fools while also courageously revealing the scars of her own parenting journey and search for self-acceptance in a world that doesn’t see the full worth of women like her. With a particular verve and relatability—honed, in part, from her many years among “Black Twitter’s” most prominent voices—Lemieux puts the lived reality of Black single motherhood: uncertainty, fierceness, and sensuality on full display. Interspersed with beautifully written personal narrative, readers will find cultural and historical analysis, and interviews with single mothers from all walks of life, telling it how it really is.&nbsp; Baby Mamas Day is a bold testament to the multifaceted Black single mother and an invitation to all readers to finally recognize this powerful figure for who&nbsp;she&nbsp;is—not&nbsp;bad, but so, so good.

A personal meditation on, examination of, and tribute to Black single motherhood, unapologetically told through poignant essays and candid interviews, by a celebrated cultural critic. Through her signature candid, humorous, and sometimes biting takes, Lemieux suffers no fools while also courageously revealing the scars of her own parenting journey and search for self-acceptance in a "baby mama" hating world. With a particular verve and relatability— honed, in part, from her many years among Black Twitter’s most prominent voices—Lemieux centers the complex reality of Black single motherhood: uncertainty and fierceness, alike. Black. Single. Mother. combines riveting personal essays infused with whip-smart cultural and historical analysis, along with twenty-one intimate, first-person testimonies from a spectrum of Black single mothers. A long overdue offering in celebration of the American matriarch most often maligned, Black. Single. Mother. sets out&nbsp;to inspire a new cultural and community dialogue about this powerful figure as one profoundly deserving of great love, support and respect.

New York Times Notable Book“A smart, crackling chronicle of fast game, the ’80s art market, [and] the attraction of destruction.”— Village Voice&nbsp;A bold and vivid biography that chronicles the dazzling rise and tragic death of Neo-expressionist artist Jean-Michel Basquiat.In less than a decade, Jean-Michel Basquiat went from being a teenage graffiti artist to an international art star. His meteoric rise to fame coincided with the outrageous excess of the heady ’80s art boom. A fixture of the downtown scene, with its explosive mix of music, fashion, art, and drugs, he soon became involved with some of its most celebrated personalities, including Keith Haring, Andy Warhol, and Madonna.&nbsp;Basquiat fulfilled that cynical aphorism: Die young and leave a beautiful corpse. But Basquiat did more than that: he left a beautiful corpus. With each passing year, the remarkable energy, perspicacity and originality of his work increases in power.&nbsp;In a world where Black Lives Matter and the imperative need for diversity are among the driving forces of our time, Basquiat’s success in the 1980s white art world, and his ongoing universal celebrity, have made him a significant role model for generation of artists to come.&nbsp;From the rise and fall of the graffiti movement, to the East Village art scene, to the art dealers and out-of-control auction houses, Basquiat: A Quick Killing in Art, the definitive biography of the young painter, is a vivid portrait of both the artist and his time.&nbsp;Basquiat: A Quick Killing in Art includes 12-14 photographs.

After decades of agitating from the inside, Joe Uehlein concluded that there had to be a movement that could act beyond the constraints of conventional labor rights and environmentalism.
Joe held two top positions at the AFL-CIO: secretary-treasurer of the AFL-CIO’s Industrial Division, and director of the AFL-CIO’s Center for Strategic Campaigns. He left the AFL-CIO in 2005 to pursue work on climate change and founded the Labor Network for Sustainability, a force in building cooperation among labor, environmental, and climate movements. Standing on the frontlines of climate justice and the class war requires transforming organized labor to include a durable vision of ecological integrity and transforming environmentalism to embrace working-class solidarity. For Joe, art has also been vital in the struggle for labor and climate. With a guitar in hand, his powerful words have inspired audiences across the globe. While sometimes sharing the stage with musicians such as Tom Morello and Pete Seeger, Joe’s songs have become anthems for elevating the plight of the worker and demanding a healthy environment for future generations.
Three Roads is the distillation of Joe’s dynamic strategy of “building bridges and pushing the envelope” to simultaneously unify and challenge the divergent forces that must come together to protect both workers and our shared planet. Joe’s captivating storytelling, passionate voice, and unique life story provides lessons, guidance and ammunition for a new generation of activists attempting to navigate the dual crisis of rising sea levels and the increasing disparity between the rich and the poor. Three Roads is for everyone who desires coming together and creating a just and sustainable future for all.

Black Lives

An intimate portrait of James Baldwin, offering a new understanding of his life and works as seen through his close relationships and private life "Baldwin authority Zaborowska's gracefully impassioned biography. . . . A creatively conceived appreciation for a decorated life and its far-flung influences on race, queer culture, and art."--Kirkus Reviews James Baldwin (1924-1987) was a pivotal figure of the twentieth century, an influential author, intellectual, and activist who led a celebrated public life--and whose words and image and persona remain current in our culture. Baldwin's many incarnations--"son of Harlem," "Black icon," "great twentieth-century writer," "race man," "prophet," "witness"--have reemerged in the digital age as Baldwin's work becomes a touchstone for a new generation. It is the private, vulnerable, and messier Baldwin--the man behind the prophet and the online meme--who is the focus of this book. Magdalena J. Zaborowska draws on Baldwin's archives and material legacy--from his unpublished papers to his books to his house in France--to offer a fresh look at the writer's understated and obscured private life. Taking a cue from Baldwin's own love of the blues, Zaborowska presents his biography as a series of tracks on a vinyl record, introducing, developing, and remixing the themes and relationships from his life. She recounts episodes from Baldwin's troubled childhood, his struggles with sexuality and gender, his intimate relationships, and the overlooked influence of women, Jews, and queers on his writing. This Life Album revolves around Baldwin's development of a unique worldview, "Black queer humanism," premised on African diaspora aesthetics, resilience, joy, community, internationalism, activism, and justice.
