  • Description

    At various times during the 1950s and 1960s, musicians, critics, fans, politicians, and entrepreneurs claimed jazz as a national art form, an Afrocentric race music, an extension of modernist innovation in other genres, a music of mass consciousness, and the preserve of a cultural elite. By examining the production, presentation, and reception of experimental music by Ornette Coleman, Cecil Taylor, John Coltrane, and others, Iain Anderson traces the strange, unexpected, and at times deeply ironic intersections between free jazz, avant-garde artistic movements, Sixties politics, and patronage networks.

  • Description

    Harriet Tubman is one of the giants of American history?a fearless visionary who led scores of her fellow slaves to freedom and battled courageously behind enemy lines during the Civil War. Stripping away myths and misconceptions, Larson presents stunning new details about Tubman?s accomplishments, personal life, and influence, including her relationship with Frederick Douglass, her involvement with John Brown?s raid on Harpers Ferry, and revelations about a young woman who may have been Tubman?s daughter. Now, thanks to Larson?s breathtaking biography, we can finally appreciate Tubman as a complete human being?an American hero, yes, but also a woman who loved, suffered, and sacrificed.

    by Gwen Ifill

  • Publication Details

    Book, 1st ed, Doubleday, 2009

  • Description

    In The Breakthrough, veteran journalist Gwen Ifill surveys the American political landscape, shedding new light on the impact of Barack Obama?s stunning presidential victory and introducing the emerging young African American politicians forging a bold new path to political power. Drawing on exclusive interviews with power brokers such as President Obama, former Secretary of State Colin Powell, Vernon Jordan, the Reverend Jesse Jackson, his son Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr., and many others, as well as her own razor-sharp observations and analysis of such issues as generational conflict, the race/ gender clash, and the “black enough” conundrum, Ifill shows why this is a pivotal moment in American history.
