Beschreibung

<p>A refreshing, insightful, sacrilegious take on African American history, <em>Crazy as Hell</em> explores the site of America's greatest contradictions. The notables of this book are the runaways and the rebels, the badass and funky, the activists and the inmates-from Harriet Tubman, Nina Simone, and Muhammad Ali to B'rer Rabbit, Single Mamas, and Wakandans-but are they crazy as hell, or do they simply defy the expectations designated for being Black in America?</p><p>With humor and insight, scholars and writers V. Efua Prince and Hoke S. Glover III (Bro. Yao) offer brief breakdowns of one hundred influential, archetypal, and infamous figures, building a new framework that emphasizes their humanity. Including an introduction by MacArthur Fellow Reginald Dwayne Betts and peppered with little-known historical facts and PSAs that get real about the Black experience, <em>Crazy as Hell</em> captures the tenacious, irreverent spirit that accompanies a long struggle for freedom.</p>
