She admits fear and frustration for her African American sons in a society that is increasingly racist and at times seems irredeemable. However, as a mother, feminist, writer, and intellectual, Perry offers an unfettered expression of love--finding beauty and possibility in life--and she exhorts her children and their peers to find the courage to chart their own paths and find steady footing and inspiration in Black tradition. Perry draws upon the ideas of figures such as James Baldwin, W. E. B. DuBois, Emily Dickinson, Toni Morrison, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Ida B. Wells. She shares vulnerabilities and insight from her own life and from encounters in places as varied as the West Side of Chicago; Birmingham, Alabama; and New England prep schools. Breathe offers a broader meditation on race, gender, and the meaning of a life well lived and is also an unforgettable lesson in Black resistance and resilience"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.85089 Pe Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hanapepe Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.85089 Pe Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 306.85089 Pe Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.85089 Perry Checked In Add Copy to MyList
