Description:
Affirmative Acts: Political Essays marks the twenty-fifth book in the celebrated career of poet, essayist, activist, and professor June Jordan. The recipient of the Lila Wallace Readers Digest and the PEN West Freedom to Write Awards, Jordan has created a widely influential and ground-breaking body of work over several decades. With the same clear-sighted passion found in her classic essay collections, Civil Wars and Living Room, in Affirmative Acts, Jordan writes brilliantly about controversial, critical, and timely issues that are currently at the center of American debate.
Expand description
Whether discussing the tragic dismantling of affirmative action; ruminating on the combustible intersections of race, class, gender, and injustice; reflecting on the palpable hatred that infuses American society; or speaking out against worldwide suffering, June Jordan paints, as in her previous works, what she calls "an intimate face of universal struggle".
Intuitive, eloquent, and caustic, Affirmative Acts addresses the human meaning of social, racial, political, and economic conflict.
