These poems speak of community and struggle. They are grounded in the political culture of African Nova Scotia and inherit the styles and substances of hip- hop, dub and calypso's political commentary. They engage historical themes and figures and analyze contemporary issues -- racism, environmental racism, poverty and, violence -- as well as confront the realities of life as a Black woman. The voice is urgent, uncompromising and passionate in its advocacy and demands. One of Canada's most controversial spoken word artists, El Jones writes to educate, to move communities to action and to demonstrate the possibilities of resistance and empowerment. Gathered from seven years of performances, these poems represent the tradition of the prophetic voice in Black Nova Scotia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e El Jones\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1552666786\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781552666784\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Roseway Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.98w x 0.47d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eQuill \u0026amp; Quire\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2014 pg. 40","brand":"El Jones","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44068589076735,"sku":"9781552666784","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cd850fac-c973-4d2b-bc36-ff04929b2b2b.jpg?v=1685419879","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/live-from-the-afrikan-resistance-el-jones-9781552666784","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
