La prochaine fois que tu mordras la poussière
Par Panayotis Pascot. 2023
« Ce livre me fait peur. Le processus a été douloureux. Mon père nous a annoncé qu'il n'allait pas tarder…
à mourir et je me suis mis à écrire. Trois années au peigne fin, mes relations, mes pensées paranoïaques, mon rapport étrange à lui, crachés sur le papier. Je me suis donné pour but de le tuer avant qu'il ne meure. C'est l'histoire de quelqu'un qui cherche à tuer. Soi, ou le père, finalement ça revient au même. » Panayotis Pascot s'attaque d'une plume tranchante et moderne à trois thématiques qu'il tisse pour composer un récit autobiographique aussi acide qu'ultralucide. La relation au père, l'acception de son homosexualité et la dépression s'enchevêtrent ici dans un violent passage à l'âge adulte. Mais la lumière y sort toujours d'un regard, d'une façon d'observer le quotidien avec autant de tendresse et d'humour que de clairvoyanceA continual feast: words of comfort and celebration collected by Father Tim

Par Jeanne Walker Harvey. 2011
As a young boy growing up in North Carolina, Romare Bearden listened to his great-grandmother's Cherokee stories and heard the…
whistle of the train that took his people to the North people who wanted to be free. When Romare and his family, faced with Jim Crow laws, boarded that same train, he watched out the window as the world whizzed by. Later he captured those scenes in a famous painting, Watching the Good Trains Go By. Using that painting as inspiration and creating a text influenced by the blues and jazz that Bearden loved, Jeanne Walker Harvey tells the story of Bearden's children by describing the patchwork of daily southern life that Romare saw out the train's window and the story of his arrival in shimmering New York City. Artists and critics today praise Bearden's collages for their visual metaphors honoring his past, African American culture, and the human experience. 2011.

Par Karen M Greenwald. 2021
In 1887 Susanna Salter was ready to vote for the first time ever. The State of Kansas had just given…
women the right to vote in municipal elections. But some men in Susanna's hometown, Argonia, didn't think she, or any other woman should have a say in choosing their next mayor. They put Susanna on the ballot for mayor, as a joke. They were sure she would lose, and then women like her would stay at home, where they belonged. But the joke was on them when Susanna won the race! Told by a grandmother who remembers what happened on that fateful election day, this is a true story of a woman who stood up for her right to vote and accomplished so much more.
