Paperback. Condition: New. A testament of great emotional power, the book presents the Malcolm X that very few knew, the man behind the stereotyped firebrand - a sensitive, proud, highly intelligent man who passionately and lucidly articulated the struggle and the beliefs of African Americans in the 1960s. Cut short by the riddl…e of assassins' bullets, Malcolm X held the preminition that he would not live long enough to see this book appear. It is,in its dead level honesty, an established classic of modern America. 'The most important book I'll ever read. It changed the way I thought; it changed the way I acted' - Spike Lee.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. The Encyclopedia of Southern Culture is "the first attempt ever" notes U.S. News & World Report, "to describe every aspect of a region's life and thought, the impact of its history and policies, its music and literature, its manners and myths, even the iced tea t…hat washes down its catfish and cornbread."There are many Souths, many southerners. The region's fundamental uniqueness, in fact, lies in its peculiar combination of cultural traits, a somewhat curious, often elusive blend created by blacks and whites who have lived together for more than 300 years. In telling their stories, the Encyclopedia of Southern Culture ranges from grand historical themes to the whimsical; from the arts and high culture (William Faulkner and Leontyne Price) to folk culture (quilts, banjos, and grits) to popular culture (Gilley's and Gone With the Wind). To foster a deeper understanding of the South's cultural patterns, the editors have organized this reference book around twenty-four thematic sections, including history, religion, folklore, language, art and architecture, recreation, politics, the mythic South, urbanization, literature, music, violence, law, and media. The life experiences of southerners are discussed in sections on black life, ethnic life, and women's life. Throughout, the broad goal is to identify the forces that have supported either the reality or the illusion of the southern way of life -- people, places, ideas, institutions, events, symbols, rituals, and values.
