In Mama s Gun: Black Maternal Figures and the Politics of Transgression, Marlo D. David identifies five bold, new archetypes of black motherhood for the post-civil rights generation in order to imagine new ways of thinking about pervasive maternal stereotypes of black women. Rather than avoiding negative images of black motherhood, such as welfare queens, teen mothers, and baby mamas, Mama s Gun centralizes these dispossessed figures and renames them as the Young Mother, the Blues Mama, the Surrogate, Big Mama, and the Mothership. Taking inspiration from African American fiction, historical accounts of black life, Afrofuturism, and black popular culture in music and on screen, David turns her attention to Sapphire s Push, Octavia Butler s Dawn, and Suzan-Lori Parks s Getting Mother s Body as well as the performance art of Erykah Badu and the films of Tyler Perry. She draws out the implications of black maternal figures in these texts who balk at tradition and are far from ideal. David s study shows how representations of blackness are deeply embedded in the neoliberal language of contemporary American politics and how black writers and performers resist such mainstream ideologies with their own transgressive black maternal figures."

One Summer, Two boys-in search of manhood. Growing up is hard to do, especially for two boys during the summer of 1991, in the Low Reign. LJ and Bee are two friends on the brink of adulthood. They both try to find a way to chase their dreams while making sense of their reality. The boys are barely sixteen and both are looking for an escape from their homes. Bee wants to get away from his alcoholic and abusive father to become a successful chess player. LJ, on the other hand, just wants to get out of the house and away from his police officer father, a mother who nags a bit too much and a little brother who is annoying. Both boys are looking for an escape as they try to figure out life one day at a time. However, special circumstances give them the shock of their lives and alter everything they know. On their journey, they discover romance, happiness, dreams and realities.

The End Of The Rainbow: These Are Some Of The Colors That I Saw

The end of the rainbow represents not only my own experience but also stories told by others in a desperate moment or during a glorious display of empathic abilities taught by the masters of hunger and dependencies. It is also a reflection of my view on spiritual and / or emotional human polarity and some of the subsequent behaviors that transcended age, gender and social status... It is simple urban poetry, colloquial talk fused with images. Images that by themselves tell one story or two...about dependencies so dark that when confessed even to ourselves, the words, thoughts and images drawn our mind with regrets taken us to labyrinths of teachings... and later, when reaching the end of the maze, we embrace experiences with the understanding that thanks to them, "one is who one is". Images and words that echo each other like mirrors from the past that could often reflect our future if we did not learn from them, the intended lessons.
