Black Like Me - John Howard Griffin - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Black Like Me - John Howard Griffin - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

New edition with a foreword by Bernardine Evaristo ''A brutal record of segregated America ... essential reading'' Guardian''An anti-racist classic'' Bernardine Evaristo In the autumn of 1959, a white Texan journalist named John Howard Griffin travelled across the Deep South of the United States disguised as a working-class black man. Black Like Me is Griffin''s own account of his journey. Published in book form two years later it sold over five million copies, revealed to a white audience the daily experience of racism and became one of the best-known accounts of racial injustice in Jim Crow-era America. Embraced by some and fiercely criticised by others, its legacy sixty years on remains problematic, but Black Like Me nevertheless stands as a fascinating document of its times.''There is a saying among Negroes that no white man, no matter how hard he tries, can really understand what it''s like to be black in America. John Howard Griffin has come closer to this understanding than any white man that I know.'' Louis Lomax, Saturday Review ''If it was a frightening experience for him as nothing but a make-believe Negro for sixty-six days, then you think about what real Negroes in America have gone through for 400 years.'' Malcolm X

Astonish Me! - Dominic Dromgoole - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

A SUNDAY TIMES BEST FILM AND THEATRE BOOK OF 2022''Anyone in love with the arts will fall in love with this beautifully written and fascinating book'' Kathy BurkeAstonish Me! is an adrenaline-charged rollercoaster through history''s seismic first nights, exploring how individual artists can change and shape the story of culture - and allow us to see ourselves in new ways. It tells of times when ''the air between people seems to alter'' as art achieves profound change, across the globe and across history. Dominic Dromgoole has created a radical and fresh canon. He begins in New York in 1963, as Lorraine Hansberry remakes American theatre and a nation''s perception of race. And then, as the lights go up, we find ourselves in Renaissance Florence, watching Michelangelo''s David being hauled into the Piazza della Signoria. The dust settles and we are transported to the birth of theatre in fifth-century Athens - and then to Paris to meet with Diaghilev and Stravinsky for the Rite of Spring. We witness kabuki''s creation, as a radical women''s performance, in Kyoto; the Sex Pistols shattering Thatcherite Britain at Manchester''s Free Trade Hall; and watch as Hitchcock directs Psycho.

You Talkin' To Me? - Sam Leith - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

You Talkin' To Me? - Sam Leith - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Rhetoric gives our words the power to inspire. But it''s not just for politicians: it''s all around us, whether you''re buttering up a key client or persuading your children to eat their greens. You have been using rhetoric yourself, all your life. After all, you know what a rhetorical question is, don''t you?In this updated edition of his classic guide, Sam Leith traces the art of argument from ancient Greece down to its many modern mutations. He introduces verbal villains from Hitler to Donald Trump - and the three musketeers: ethos, pathos and logos. He explains how rhetoric works in speeches from Cicero to Richard Nixon, and pays tribute to the rhetorical brilliance of AC/DC''s "Back In Black". Before you know it, you''ll be confident in chiasmus and proud of your panegyrics - because rhetoric is useful, relevant and absolutely nothing to be afraid of.

Trust Me I'm Lying - Ryan Holiday - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Recently, fake news has become real news, making headlines as its consequences become crushingly obvious in political upsets and global turmoil. But it''s not new - you''ve seen it all before. A malicious online rumour costs a company millions. Politically motivated ''fake news'' stories are planted and disseminated to influence elections. Some product or celebrity zooms from total obscurity to viral sensation. Anonymous sources and speculation become national conversation. What you don''t know is that someone is responsible for all this. Usually, someone like Ryan Holiday: a media manipulator.Holiday wrote this book to explain how media manipulators work, how to spot their fingerprints, how to fight them, and how (if you must) to emulate their tactics. Why is he giving away these secrets? Because he''s tired of a world where trolls hijack debates, marketers help write the news, reckless journalists spread lies, and no one is accountable for any of it. He''s pulling back the curtain because it''s time everyone understands how things really work.

LRB Diary for 2025: London A-Z (and back again) - Lrb Diary - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

When I cross the river, the sword that divides me from pleasure and money, I go North. That is, I take the Northern Line ''up West'', as we say: that is, to the West End. My London consists of all the stations on the Northern Line, but don''t think I scare easily: I have known the free and easy slap-and-tickle of Soho since toddlerhood ... nothing between Morden and Camden Town holds terror for me - Angela CarterThe clue is in the name: the London Review of Books has never been anything other than Bloomsbury-based, and though its outlook remains as international as ever, after 46 years you come to know a few things about your own patch. Next year''s LRB Diary duly takes an alphabetical tour, week by week, through 52 subjects indelibly inked into the capital''s literary (and not so literary) past, present and future, via the magazine''s archive. From Ackroyd to Zadie, carnival to cottaging, gentrification to the Great Stink, Keats to the Krays, Wren to Windrush.

A New York Times Bestseller ''Within two pages, nature writing feels different and fresh and new ... This book demands we find the eyes to see and the heart to love such things once more. It is a very fine book indeed, truly full of wonder'' - James Rebanks, author of Pastoral Song''Unusual and captivating ... a thing of wonder, the book that most took me by surprise this year'' - Jini Reddy, author of WanderlandAimee Nezhukumatathil has had many homes, but wherever she was - however awkward the fit or forbidding the landscape - she found guidance and perspective in nature.The axolotl smiles, even in the face of unkindness; the touch-me-not plant shakes off unwanted advances; the narwhal survives its hostile environment. Even in the strange and the unlovely, Nezhukumatathil finds beauty and kinship. Warm, lyrical and gorgeously illustrated by Fumi Mini Nakamura, this book ranges through joy and pain, encountering love, motherhood and heritage, racism and the destruction humans can wreak. In all those things, it shows that if you listen carefully, if you open your eyes wide, the world is full of wonders.
