Live from the Afrikan Resistance! is the first collection of spoken
word poetry by Halifax's fifth Poet Laureate, El Jones. These poems
speak of community and struggle. They are grounded in the political
culture of African Nova Scotia and inherit the styles and
substances of hip-hop, dub and calypso's political commentary. They
engage historical themes and figures and analyse contemporary
issues - racism, environmental racism, poverty and violence - as
well as confront the realities of life as a Black woman. The voice
is urgent, uncompromising and passionate in its advocacy and
demands. One of Canada's most controversial spoken word artists, El
Jones writes to educate, to move communities to action and to
demonstrate the possibilities of resistance and empowerment.
Gathered from seven years of performances, these poems represent
the tradition of the prophetic voice in Black Nova Scotia.
