Book Description
Not Viable: An Autobiography of an American Nationalist is the story of American nationalist, activist, and former congressional candidate Nick Taurus. The work explores the difficulties in infiltrating the political mainstream, the inherent hypocrisy of the GOP political establishment, and the continued ideological awakening of millions of White Americans who have grown dissatisfied with the current trajectory of our country. Although Not Viable is the story of one man, Nick Taurus, and his long-shot candidacy in the 2022 midterms, the story itself is a commentary on our broken political system. American politics is far from this virtuous process our elites want us to believe it is, while the levels of ethnic nepotism, backroom dealing, and blackballing is truly astounding. Not Viable is meant as a "middle finger" to established American political orthodoxy, and this work hopes to demonstrate that the machinations of our bankrupt political class is what's truly "not viable" in American politics today.

May We Forever Stand
Author: Imani Perry
Publisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 1469638614
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
The twin acts of singing and fighting for freedom have been inseparable in African American history. May We Forever Stand tells an essential part of that story. With lyrics penned by James Weldon Johnson and music composed by his brother Rosamond, "Lift Every Voice and Sing" was embraced almost immediately as an anthem that captured the story and the aspirations of black Americans. Since the song's creation, it has been adopted by the NAACP and performed by countless artists in times of both crisis and celebration, cementing its place in African American life up through the present day. In this rich, poignant, and readable work, Imani Perry tells the story of the Black National Anthem as it traveled from South to North, from civil rights to black power, and from countless family reunions to Carnegie Hall and the Oval Office. Drawing on a wide array of sources, Perry uses "Lift Every Voice and Sing" as a window on the powerful ways African Americans have used music and culture to organize, mourn, challenge, and celebrate for more than a century.

American Literature and American Identity
Author: Patrick Colm Hogan
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 100047092X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 287
Book Description
In recent years, cognitive and affective science have become increasingly important for interpretation and explanation in the social sciences and humanities. However, little of this work has addressed American literature, and virtually none has treated national identity formation in influential works since the Civil War. In this book, Hogan develops his earlier cognitive and affective analyses of national identity, further exploring the ways in which such identity is integrated with cross-culturally recurring patterns in story structure. Hogan examines how authors imagined American identity—understood as universal, democratic egalitarianism—in the face of the nation’s clear and often brutal inequalities of race, sex, and sexuality, exploring the complex and often ambivalent treatment of American identity in works by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Eugene O’Neill, Lillian Hellman, Djuna Barnes, Amiri Baraka, Margaret Atwood, N. Scott Momaday, Spike Lee, Leslie Marmon Silko, Tony Kushner, and Heidi Schreck.
