In this fourth book in the series, Dave Perry writes about his almost famous ancestor. Christopher Perry was a little-known hero of the American Revolution; but he left a huge legacy for the young nation.Coming of age. The transition through the stage of youth, leading from boyhood to manhood has been unnaturally extended in our age. This was not the case in the eighteenth century, especially for those young men who went to war on the sea.What does it feel like to be a young man caught up in war? What pain is wreaked on the undeveloped emotions of a youth thrust into the battles of men. If he is forced to kill, fight for his life, see his friends die, and suffer torturous imprisonment, how will he react?These experiences can destroy a young man, or they can temper him like steel in a furnace. Revolution at sea is a life that can take the boy raised to hard work, character, and integrity by his parents, and forge that person into a national leader.Such was the hero named Christopher Raymond Perry. Perry was an intrepid character during the American Revolution. As naval captain, he was a hero during the United States' Quasi War with France. He is best known as the father of two of America's greatest naval heroes.Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry is eternally renown as the hero of the Battle of Lake Erie during the War of 1812. His younger brother, Commodore Matthew Calbraith Perry, is known in history as the man who visited Japan with a U. S. fleet of warships and opened the hermit country to commercial trade with western nations.This novel was painstakingly researched from historical and genealogical records. Many family remembrances, ship manifests and crew lists, period newspaper articles, personal and official letters, and other historical records are quoted and summarized in this text. Quaker Privateer is the story of young Christopher Perry's early life. Read about the Quaker pacifist who became one of America's greatest warriors.

Tyler Perry has become a significant figure in media due to his undeniable box office success led by his character Madea and popular TV sitcoms House of Payne and Meet the Browns. Perry built a multimedia empire based largely on his popularity among African American viewers and has become a prominent and dominant cultural storyteller. Along with Perry’s success has come scrutiny by some social critics and Hollywood well-knowns, like Spike Lee, who have started to deconstruct the images in Perry’s films and TV shows suggesting, as Lee did, that Perry has used his power to advance stereotypical depictions of African Americans. The book provides a rich and thorough overview of Tyler Perry’s media works. In so doing, contributors represent and approach their analyses of Perry’s work from a variety of theoretical and methodological angles. The main themes explored in the volume include the representation of (a) Black authenticity and cultural production, (b) class, religion, and spirituality, (c) gender and sexuality, and (d) Black love, romance, and family. Perry’s critical acclaim is also explored.
