Angela Davis provides the historical, social, and political contexts with which to reinterpret the performances and lyrics of Gertrude “Ma” Rainey, Bessie Smith, and Billie Holiday as powerful articulations of an alternative consciousness profoundly at odds with mainstream American culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe works of Rainey, Smith, and Holiday have been largely misunderstood by critics. Overlooked, Davis shows, has been the way their candor and bravado laid the groundwork for an aesthetic that allowed for the celebration of social, moral, and sexual values outside the constraints imposed by middle-class respectability. Through meticulous transcriptions of all the extant lyrics of Rainey and Smith—published here in their entirety for the first time—Davis demonstrates how the roots of the blues extend beyond a musical tradition to serve as a conciousness-raising vehicle for American social memory.

Throughout, Abrams conveys with singular vividness the drive, the stakes, and the relentless creativity that ignited one of the greatest revolutions in modern music.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Come Up\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis an exhilarating behind-the-scenes account of how hip-hop came to rule the world—and an essential contribution to music history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-listen-to-a-clip\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"slot product-listen show\"\u003e\n\u003ca id=\"listenToAClip\" name=\"#listen-to-a-clip\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eISBN-13: 9781984825155\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublisher: Crown\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublication Date: October 3, \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2023\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePages: 560\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43389512155384,"sku":"9781984825155","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0471\/2156\/3811\/files\/thecomeup.png?v=1696124704"},{"product_id":"share-my-life-kem","title":"Share My Life","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-body clearfix\" id=\"left-rail-top\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-about-the-book\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"seemore-0\" class=\"slot product-about 9780593482339 isbn-related seemoreenable show opened\" target-height=\"607\" height-fold=\"377\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"overview\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-body clearfix\" id=\"left-rail-top\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-about-the-book\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"seemore-0\" class=\"slot product-about 9780593483503 isbn-related seemoreenable show opened\" target-height=\"584.156\" height-fold=\"377\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"overview\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrammy Award–nominated artist Kem shares his life in this revealing and remarkable memoir tracing his transformative journey from homelessness to gold-selling artist.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKnown for his smooth affecting crooning and dapper style, Kem’s journey to the stage is nothing short of inspiring.

Torn between his friendships with fellow musicians and nightclub life and his responsibilities to his wife and child, along with the pressures of dealing with a racist America that assaults him at every turn, Manfred seeks easy answers in “Dirty Bird” (Old Crow whiskey) and in moving on. He moves to Omaha with hopes of better opportunities as a blue-collar worker, but the blues in his soul and the dreams in his mind keep bringing him back to face himself. After a nightmarish descent into his own depths, Manfred emerges with fresh awareness and possibility. Through Manfred, we witness and experience the process by which modern American English has been vitalized and strengthened by the poetry and the poignancy of the African-American experience. As Manfred struggles with the oppressive constraints of society and his private turmoil, his rich inner voice resonates with the blues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-listen-to-a-clip\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"slot product-listen show\"\u003e\n\u003ca id=\"listenToAClip\" name=\"#listen-to-a-clip\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-listen-to-a-clip\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"slot product-listen show\"\u003e\n\u003ca id=\"listenToAClip\" name=\"#listen-to-a-clip\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan mce-data-marked=\"1\"\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eISBN-13:\u003cspan\u003e 9780143136590\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublisher:\u003cspan\u003e Penguin Classics\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublication Date: February 8, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-about-the-book\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"seemore-0\" class=\"slot product-about 9781400033416 isbn-related seemoreenable show opened\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" target-height=\"389\" height-fold=\"377\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"overview\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePages: 384\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--\ntd {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--\ntd {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--\ntd {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43851729699064,"sku":"9780143136590","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0471\/2156\/3811\/files\/dirtybirdblues.png?v=1685888968"},{"product_id":"nina-traci-n-todd","title":"Nina","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-about-the-book\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"seemore-0\" class=\"slot product-about 9781524737283 isbn-related seemoreenable show opened\" target-height=\"515.625\" height-fold=\"377\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"overview\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"slot-header\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA 2022 Coretta Scott King Book Award Honoree!\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis luminous, defining picture book biography illustrated by Caldecott Honoree Christian Robinson, tells the remarkable and inspiring story of acclaimed singer Nina Simone and her bold, defiant, and exultant legacy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCover may vary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBorn Eunice Kathleen Waymon in small town North Carolina, Nina Simone was a musical child.

During her first performances under the name of Nina Simone her voice was rich and sweet but as the Civil Rights Movement gained steam, Nina’s voice soon became a thunderous roar as she raised her voice in powerful protest in the fight against racial inequality and discrimination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-listen-to-a-clip\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"slot product-listen show\"\u003e\n\u003ca id=\"listenToAClip\" name=\"#listen-to-a-clip\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDETAILS\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eISBN-13:\u003cspan\u003e 9781524737283\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublisher:\u003cspan\u003e G.P.

Each moment in every performance he examines—whether it’s the twenty-seven seconds in “Gimme Shelter” in which Merry Clayton wails the words “rape, murder,” a schoolyard fistfight, a dance marathon, or the instant in a game of spades right after the cards are dealt—has layers of resonance in Black and white cultures, the politics of American empire, and Abdurraqib’s own personal history of love, grief, and performance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTouching on Michael Jackson, Patti LaBelle, Billy Dee Williams, the Wu-Tan Clan, Dave Chappelle, and more, Abdurraqib writes prose brimming with jubilation and pain.
