Описание: Richard Wright's memoir of his childhood as a young black boy in the American south of the 1920s and 30s is a stark depiction of African-American life and a powerful exploration of racial tension. 'A compelling indictment of life in the Deep South between the wars' Daily Telegraph At four years old, Richard Wright set fire to his home in a moment of boredom; at five his father deserted the family; by six Richard was - temporarily - an alcoholic. It was in saloons, railroad yards and streets that he learned the facts about life, about fear, hunger and hatred, while his mother's long illness taught him about suffering.
In a world of white hostility and subjugation it would be his love of books and pursuit of knowledge that would propel him to follow his dream of justice and opportunity in the north. A chronicle of coming of age under the racial prejudices of the American south, as much the story of a writer finding his voice, Black Boy remains one of the great, impassioned memoirs of the twentieth century.

Описание: Richard Wright analyzes the current state of the criminal justice system in tandem with the experiences of survivors in the aftermath of a violent crime, addressing the lack of cohesion between the current policies and the needs of victims, despite race, age, gender, economic status, occupation, or sexual orientation.
Author Richard F. Wright shatters the secrecy that has prevailed since 2013 surrounding the sudden and humiliating resignation of State Representative John Fresolo, a popular eight-term legislator who had just won reelection running unopposed in his district. As a result of a two-year investigation, which included hundreds of hours of face to face interviews with those who were there, Wright reports that the evidence used in the ethics committee hearings was false, distorted, and unreliable. Witnesses were proven to be lying under oath. When the state's case was collapsing after three exhaustive days of hearings, House Leadership maneuvered the committee members to blindside Fresolo with materials, unrelated to any of the standing 13 allegations under investigation, not taken under oath or during the hearings, to blackmail Fresolo into resigning.
What started with a young, naive statehouse staffer seeking an easy way to get a transfer and promotion turned into a witch hunt fueled by false accusations, false testimony, confused and contradictory evidence and a sham process of investigation that denied the accused the right to challenge evidence or cross-examine witnesses. Amid a swirl of sexually charged headlines, the complainant went from her happiest day as a newlywed to accepting a dreaded "Speaker Special" job and eventually leaving the statehouse permanently, while Fresolo went from an unopposed election victory for an eighth term to a humiliating resignation under circumstances that were kept a secret, until now.
Wright has spent 40 years as a paid consultant providing campaign management, public relations, and political polling to candidates throughout Massachusetts for offices including school committee, city council, sheriff, clerk of courts, register of probate, county commissioner, state representative, state senator, mayor, congressman, governor's council, and governor.
Originally published in 1948, 12 Million Black Voices pairs Richard Wright's beautiful prose with stunning photographs from the Farm Security Administration's files from the Great Depression. The images, curated by Edwin Rosskam, include photographs shot by legendary American artists like Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, and Arthur Rothstein, adding a visual dimension to Wright's incisive commentary on the origins and history of black oppression in America.
From dusty rural villages to northern ghettos, 12 Million Black Voices is an unflinching portrayal of the lives that many black Americans lived in the 1930s. Depicting remarkable spiritual fortitude and resilience in the face of crushing poverty and hostile government policies, 12 Million Black Voices is a testament to the strength of black communities, giving voices and faces to a population that is too often invisible in the annals of American history.
(review blurbs)
"Among all the works of Richard Wright, 12 Million Black Voices stands out as a work of poetry, of passion, of lyricism, and of love" --David Bradley
"Short text and picture folk history of the Black American, in which the author of Native Son writes a burning commentary on three centuries of slavery, persecution, and want...Edwin Rosskam, the photographic editor, reinforces the text with superb photographs" --The New Yorker
"A more eloquent statement of its kind could hardly have been devised... flawless prose that takes on at times the quality of a folksong" --The New York Times Book Review

Описание:
Violent Disruptions examines two authors who have powerfully predicted the formation of racial identities and its surrounding discourse in the United States today: William Faulkner (1897–1962) and Richard Wright (1908–1960). Using the works of Faulkner and Wright, this text argues that race becomes visible only through image production and exchange. Further, it argues that following the dismantling of our legally upheld racial inequality and everyday racist language, it is precisely the visual register wherein we see most acutely the continued present-day operation of racial inequality. Violent Disruptions thus places William Faulkner and Richard Wright at the center of our current dramas in the 21st century in popular television, political theater and criminal justice.
