The act of possessing black skin while searching for space to breathe in America is enough to induce a ceaseless state of angst where questions such as “How should I react here\, as a professional black person” and “Will this white person’s potato salad kill me” are forever relevant.\n\nWhat Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Blacker chronicles Young’s efforts to survive while battling and making sense of the various neuroses his country has given him. \n    \n          \n        From the Catalog\n        \n                                    \n                \n                  Book                    \n              \n                              \n      \n    \n          \n        Hoopla\n        \n                      \n              \n                eAudio              \n            \n                      \n              \n                eBook              \n            \n                  \n      \n          \n        Libby\n        \n                      \n              \n                eAudio              \n            \n                      \n              \n                eBook

SUMMARY:Book Club - Mumbo Jumbo by Ishmael Reed
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lively discussion on Mumbo Jumbo by Ishmael Reed. \nThis event is part of our Black History Month 2027 programming. \n        \n\n          \n\n    \n          \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n      \n\n  \n          In the Catalog\n    \n          \n                  \n\n  \n          \n      \n\n  \n    \n      Mumbo Jumbo\n                    Ishmael Reed \n          \n\n            It is the 1920s in New York City and an epidemic known as Jes Grew is sweeping the nation–a dancing plague\, irresistible\, joyful\, and undeniably Black. Naturally\, the powers-that-be are having none of it. A repressive conspiracy is operating in the shadows\, and it is dead set on squelching Jes Grew and its Carriers–Black artists and musicians–by any means necessary.\n\nSo begins the classic novel by Ishmael Reed\, the iconic satirist whose contributions to American literature have drawn praise from the likes of James Baldwin and Harold Bloom. Mumbo Jumbo is an ingenious deconstruction of Western civilization–a cinematic collage that mixes portraits of historical figures and incidents with sound bites on subjects ranging from ragtime to Greek philosophy. Now with a new introduction by the author\, this timeless and crucial work of twentieth-century fiction is ready to be discovered by a new generation of readers. \n    \n          \n        From the Catalog\n        \n                                    \n                \n                  Book                    \n              \n                              \n      \n    \n          \n        Hoopla\n        \n                      \n              \n                eBook              \n            \n                  \n      \n          \n        Libby\n        \n                      \n              \n                eBook
