The notables of this book are the Runaways and the Rebels, the Badass and Funky, the Activists and the Inmates--from Harriet Tubman, Nina Simone, and Muhammad Ali to B'rer Rabbit, Single Mamas, and Wakandans--but are they crazy as hell, or do they simply defy the expectations designated for being Black in America? With humor and insight, scholars and writers V. Efua Prince and Hoke S. Glover III (Bro. Yao) offer brief breakdowns of one hundred influential, archetypal, and infamous figures, building a new framework that emphasizes their humanity. Including an introduction by MacArthur Fellow Reginald Dwayne Betts and peppered with little-known historical facts and PSAs that get real about the Black experience, Crazy as Hell captures the tenacious, irreverent spirit that accompanies a long struggle for freedom"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a African Americans $x History $v Miscellanea. 700 1 $a Prince, Valerie Sweeney, $e author. 941 $a 2 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240702031833.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240702030033.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8E2505CC383D11EFA74ADF9234ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
