In this book, Pierre W. Orelus uses his poetry to unpack this question, unmasking racism, sexism, and oppression in America. The 59 poems in this collection deal with a wide range of topics, from immigration to xenophobia, from Black pride to Black rage, from parenting to female empowerment. Since the dawn of time, poetry and stories have been used to address social issues while inspiring at the same time deep, imaginary, and philosophical thoughts. This book combines poetry with short stories situated in very specific historical, racial, socio-economic, and cultural contexts to examine the existential experiences of Brown and Black people in the Americas, particularly in the United States of America, with systemic racism, voucher capitalism, xenophobia, and sexism, among other social wrongs"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 505 00 $a Machine generated contents note: $g 58. $t Dear White Americans: An Open Letter. $g 1. $t Feeling the Blues in the United States of America -- $g 2. $t In Search of a Safe Place -- $g 3. $t We're Not Going Anywhere -- $g 4. $t From the Ghetto to the Ivory Tower -- $g 5. $t The Resilient Black Woman -- $g 6. $t The Oppressed of the Americas -- $g 7. $t Feeling in Exile in My Own Land -- $g 8. $t The Misrepresentation of People of the Global Majority -- $g 9. $t The Vetted Immigrants -- $g 10. $t Phobias in the United States -- $g 11. $t The Narcissist with the Blue Eyes -- $g 12. $t Why Are Black People So Angry? -- $g 13. $t What Happens to the Black Nation? -- $g 14. $t Black Pride -- $g 15. $t The Woman Who Floats -- $g 16. $t Still Standing in Front of You -- $g 17. $t In Memory of George Floyd -- $g 18. $t How It Feels to Be Black in the Americas -- $g 19. $t We're Rising up in Multi Colors -- $g 20. $t Love Always Trumps over Hate -- $g 21. $t I Am Black, and I Am Enough! -- $g 22. $t How Real Love Feels Like -- $g 23. $t The coviD-19 Pandemic of Color -- $g 24. $t Love Is All That We Need -- $g 25. $t Raising Queer Teens -- $g 26. $t Cancer Sucks! -- $g 27. $t The Death of the Nation -- $g 28. $t When Love Is Gone -- $g 29. $t The Fear of Death -- $g 30. $t How to Spot a Psychopath -- $g 31. $t You're a Beautiful Wave -- $g 32. $t On Co-Parenting -- $g 33. $t The Depressed -- $g 34. $t Discovering African Spirituality -- $g 35. $t On Forgiveness -- $g 36. $t Living in the Future -- $g 37. $t In Honor of Our Black Ancestors -- $g 38. $t The Beauty in Solitude -- $g pt. 2 $t Black Beauty, Love, and Healing -- $g 39. $t Where Is the God for Black People? -- $g 40. $t Black Exodus -- $g 41. $t Open Letter to Our Ancestors -- $g 42. $t Only the Truth Will Set us Free -- $g 43. $t Involuntary Exile -- $g 44. $t The Day of Revolt -- $g 45. $t Bloody Day -- $g 46. $t God, Where Are You? -- $g 47. $t The Black Child -- $g 48. $t Dear Black Women -- $g 49. $t African Goddess -- $g 50. $t Life as a Circle -- $g 51. $t Black Youth -- $g 52. $t I Have Another Dream -- $g 53. $t Light in Hope -- $g 54. $t Fighting for Humanity -- $g 55. $t Dark Night in the Heart of a Coup -- $g 56. $t The Danger of Words -- $g 57. $t You Are My Redemption -- $g 58. $t Dear White Americans: An Open Letter. 650 0 $a African Americans $v Poetry. 650 0 $a Black people $z United States $v Poetry. 650 7 $a African Americans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799558 650 7 $a Black people. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00833880 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Poetry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423828 655 7 $a Poetry. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a Orelus, Pierre W. $t How it feels to be Black in the USA $d Leiden ; Boston : Brill, [2022] $z 9789004525467 $w (DLC) 2022031980 830 0 $a Critical storytelling ; $v v. 9. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117023240.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4A1D31BE0CD411EEAAE9666853ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
