This book unearths a food story buried deep within the soil of
American civil rights history. Drawing on archival research,
interviews, and oral histories, Bobby J. Smith II re-examines the
Mississippi civil rights movement as a period when activists
expanded the meaning of civil rights to address food as integral to
sociopolitical and economic conditions. For decades, white economic
and political actors used food as a weapon against Black
sharecropping communities in the Yazoo-Mississippi Delta, but
members of these communities collaborated with activists to
transform food into a tool of resistance. Today, Black youth are
building a food justice movement in the Delta to continue this
story, grappling with inequalities that continue to shape their
lives. Drawing on multiple disciplines including critical food
studies, Black studies, history, sociology, and southern studies,
Smith makes critical connections between civil rights activism and
present-day food justice activism in Black communities, revealing
how power struggles over food empower them to envision Black food
futures in which communities have the full autonomy and capacity to
imagine, design, create, and sustain a self-sufficient local food
system.

In the 1990s a troubling social trend emerged where men began
referring to each other as "players." On the other hand, real men
have been diminished and painted with the broad brush of suspicion
and cynicism, in large part because of this growing fascination
with "playing" in the urban landscape. Instead of positive male
model that work hard, take care of their children and provide
leadership in the household, too many young people are leaning in
the direction of frivolity because of the absence of real men in
their lives. Which leads to this question: what is a man supposed
to look like, act like and be like? The answer to that question can
be found in the pages of "Real Men Don't Play " This insightful and
inspiring book is a compilation of models of possibility; it
includes real men from divergent walks of life that share common
characteristics that define them as real men. Their individual and
collective accomplishments are a recipe for living a productive
life. The author, Bobby Glanton Smith, a native of Murfreesboro,
Tennessee, devoted over 10 years of his life to constructing an
expose that illuminates his interface with some of the most
fascinating and extraordinary men that have lived in his lifetime.
Bobby has worked with NFL Hall of Fame member and social activist
Jim Brown for over 20 years and proudly proclaims that Jim Brown is
one of the inspirations for this book. The late Jerry Anderson, a
childhood friend and former NFL player, is also featured in this
book because of the profile in courage his short life encompassed.
The late Sgt. George D Osborne, the author's first cousin, was a
man as a child - and his example of responsibility and fortitude
will chill your soul and elevate your spirit simultaneously. The
genius of Harry Pickens as promulgated in "Real Men Don't Play "
will unveil the immense capabilities of a man who lives in
accordance with his core beliefs and who mastered the power of
thinking his way through life. Julian Mendoza's mastery of
self-determination is a road map to personal and professional
success. You will also discover by reading this book that Lionel
Hollins is far more than a former NBA World Champion and highly
successful NBA coach, he's also a man who turned lemons into
lemonade as he navigated his upward climb from humble beginnings.
Rick Perkins, "The Man with the Horn," found the strength and the
will to defeat adversity and leave indelible footprints along his
journey through life; Rick's example of fatherhood is uniquely
inspiring and instructional. Sam "The Face of Boxing," has lived an
incredible life and continues to raise the bar of human
possibility. Few men of color, particularly African American men,
have climbed the corporate ladder and remained socially conscience
as has Kevin McDowell. Abdur-Rahim Hameed is a man of remarkable
will; he took on the construction industry and carved out a path of
apprenticeship for black and brown kids that has changed the
industry. Two-time Emmy Award Winner Keith David is far more than
an acclaimed actor on the stage and screen - he's a man's man in
every possible way. "Real Men Don't Play affords the ready an
opportunity to peek inside the world of men whose lives are
governed by tried-and-true principles of life management. This book
ultimately affirms a prophetic proclamation by an extraordinary man
in his own right, the late Marcus Garvey: "What Men Have Done, Men
Can Do

This documentary tells the story of the British BSA Group, who
despite being at the height of their powers in the 1950s were out
of business just two decades later. Models featured at the National
Motorcycle Museum include the Roundtank, Sloper, Gold Star, Road
Rocket and Rocket 3. Six-times world champion Geoff Duke is on hand
at the Sammy Miller Museum to explain why he feels that one BSA
road racer in particular could have been a Grand Prix winner.
Others offering their personal BSA reminiscences include Bobby
Hill, Dick Mann, Don Emde, Jeff Smith and Brian Martin.
Shift Work gathers a chorus from the storytelling working classes
of the Upper South. In narrative poems made of sinewy, Whitmanesque
lines, Bobby C. Rogers composes portraits of dwellers in the small
towns, unincorporated communities, and hard-edged cities they have
flown to, always packing their past with them, an inheritance as
ephemeral as vapor, made mostly of memory even as it was being
lived.
This lively book examines the major issues raised by the emergence
and transformation of various political identities in the
contemporary world. The contributors bring together many current
trends of thought-Lacanian psychoanalysis, deconstruction,
neo-Hegelianism and political philosophy-that are relevant to the
question of identity, as well as concrete studies of some of the
more important political identities which have emerged in recent
decades. A central theme of the book is the logic implicit in the
Freudian category of identification and its consequences for
understanding politics. The first half of the book explores the
theoretical dimensions of the issue of identity formation. The
second half brings these more abstract considerations to bear on a
number of case studies-the structure of apartheid in South Africa,
the rise of Islam, the Palestinian diaspora, the explosion of
national identities in former Yugoslavia, the Greens in Germany,
and the spread of Rastafarianism in Britain.
