{"product_id":"its-all-gumbo-to-me-cyrus-marcellus-ellis-9780615192505","title":"It's All Gumbo to Me","description":"\"The gumbo pot and its contents serve as a means to understand the need to create communities through grass roots activities so people can better relate to themselves, others and the world around them.\" This book focuses on multiple layers of culture in the United States. It is a text that addresses cultural phenomena through the metaphor of Gumbo, a southern cuisine developed by slaves. It's All Gumbo to Me is a phrase that captures an understanding that we are all in this world together. Like gumbo, we are all in the pot together. We may be saddened or outraged by the events of life that occur, but we ought not be surprised. We can, however, impact our world for the better by adding ingredients of hope, meaning and spirit (among others) to the pot so that the circumstances that we find ourselves in can be altered thereby making our world better for ourselves and our communities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cyrus Marcellus Ellis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0615192505\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780615192505\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cyrus Marcellus Ellis, PhD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/17\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 60\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.14d","brand":"Cyrus Marcellus Ellis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47473814110463,"sku":"9780615192505","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fbf09ac6-01bd-42d1-bf86-af6707fceba8.jpg?v=1762313109","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/its-all-gumbo-to-me-cyrus-marcellus-ellis-9780615192505","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
