This Is Major with these daring and exquisitely crafted essays, where Lawson journeys across the globe, finds beauty in tumultuous times, and powerfully disrupts the constraints of race, gender, and disability. With their signature prose, at turns bold, muscular, and luminous, Shayla Lawson travels the world to explore deeper meanings held within love, time, and the self. Through encounters with a gorgeous gondolier inVenice, an ex-husband in the Netherlands, and a lost love on New Year's Eve in Mexico City, Lawson's travels bring unexpected wisdom about life in and out of love. They learn the strength of friendships and the dangers of beauty during a narrow escape inEgypt. They examine Blackness in post-dictatorship Zimbabwe, then take us on a secretive tour of Black freedom movements in Portugal. Through a deeply insightful journey, Lawson leads readers from a castle in France to a hula hoop competition in Jamaicato a traditional theater in Tokyo to a Prince concert in Minnesota and, finally, to finding liberation on a beach in Bermuda, exploring each location-and their deepest emotions-to the fullest. In the end, they discover how the trials of marriage, grief, and missed connections can lead to self-transformation and unimagined new freedoms"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Lawson, Shayla $x Travel. 650 0 $a African American women authors $v Biography. 650 0 $a Decolonization. 655 7 $a Essays. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: 776 08 $a Lawson, Shayla. $t How to live free in a dangerous world $d [New York] : Tiny Reparations Books, an imprint of Penguin Random House LLC, [2024] $z 9780593472590 $w (DLC) 2023022637 941 $a 3 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20240409012659.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314030325.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125010854.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=79DBCE36BB4F11EE9799A7D243ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
