The Problematic Tyler Perry

The Problematic Tyler Perry

Peter Lang Publishing Inc
2016
nidottu
For the past decade or more, few Hollywood stars have experienced a more meteoric rise than Tyler Perry. As much as he is lauded by fans, Perry is panned by cultural critics who reject his work as overtly preachy and rife with racially stereotypical characterizations and controversial themes. This book explores the vast chasm between his fans’ adoration and the critical reception of his work: while some argue that Perry’s brand of «blackness» is little more than buffoonery, others claim he offers representations that are missing in entertainment choices, especially among niche audiences. He is applauded by some for offering films and television shows that are «good entertainment», while others label his work trashy. He can be seen either as an oracle whose morality plays provide a gospel message of family healing, or as an actor with a misaligned worldview. This book asks: what are we to do with the «problem» of Tyler Perry?

War brings out the best and the worst in humanity-and from these times arise some of the most compelling human stories. Kentucky Raider is the account of one such time. Commodore Perry "CP" Snell is a Confederate cavalryman during the Civil War, serving with the 2nd Kentucky Cavalry regiment known as John Hunt Morgan's Guerrilla Band-Morgan's Raiders for short. This group of soldiers conducts the war's longest, most northerly invasion of Union territory, and on their last raid capture Union General Edward Henry Hobson at Cynthiana, Kentucky. Snell keeps General Hobson's order book as a memento, and it has remained unpublished for 150 years. Now, this order book provides new insight into General Hobson's strategies to stop the rebel raiders. The story begins with Snell's indictment for conspiracy and follows his entire Civil War experience. Wrought with violence, passion, and vanished Yankee gold, Snell's life is one of a common man caught up in an extraordinary time. Complete with detailed military maps, photographs, and legal documents, this fresh look at one of the most controversial men in the Civil War also speaks to our forefathers' fears of a strong, centralized government-fears still held by many US citizens today.
