Tacky by Rax King Pdf

An irreverent and charming collection of deeply personal essays about the joys of low pop culture and bad taste, exploring coming of age in the 2000s in the age of Hot Topic, Creed, and frosted lip gloss—from the James Beard Award-nominated writer of the Catapult column "Store-Bought Is Fine” Tacky is about the power of pop culture—like any art—to imprint itself on our lives and shape our experiences, no matter one's commitment to "good" taste. These fourteen essays are a nostalgia-soaked antidote to the millennial generation's obsession with irony, putting the aesthetics we hate to love—snakeskin pants, Sex and the City, Cheesecake Factory's gargantuan menu—into kinder and sharper perspective. Each essay revolves around a different maligned (and yet, Rax would argue, vital) cultural artifact, providing thoughtful, even romantic meditations on desire, love, and the power of nostalgia. An essay about the gym-tan-laundry exuberance of Jersey Shore morphs into an excavation of grief over the death of her father; in "You Wanna Be On Top," Rax writes about friendship and early aughts girlhood; in another, Guy Fieri helps her heal from an abusive relationship. The result is a collection that captures the personal and generational experience of finding joy in caring just a little too much with clarity, heartfelt honesty, and Rax King's trademark humor.

Tacky the Penguin by Helen Lester Pdf

An offbeat penguin shows his peers the power of individuality in this humorous tale from the author of Pookins Gets Her Way. Tacky is an odd bird. He likes to do splashy cannonballs and greet his companions with a loud "What's happening?" In fact, he's something of an eccentric, which wouldn't be a problem if all the other penguins weren't such…conformists. When intimidating visitors invade their peaceful, nice, icy land, it'll take a lot more than a bunch of perfect penguins to save the day. Thank goodness Tacky's such an odd bird! “This book is must reading for any kid—or grown-up—who refuses to follow the pack.”—Publishers Weekly

Tacky by Eloise Y. Lott Pdf

TACKY FINDING GOD'S HELP IN TIMES OF CRISIS Eloise Yarborough (Fox) Lott, has lived through many excruciating trials and tribulations, including thirty-odd surgeries. Her husband of fifteen years, Etheridge Fox, was electrocuted while trimming trees in their yard in Gadsden, Alabama in 1961. Her second son, Steve Fox, broke his neck in a bicycle accident at age six. Her daughter, Myra Fox (Hudson) paralyzed in a car wreck at age seventeen, has been a paraplegic for thirty-seven years. Larry Fox, her first son and a world-wide musician, died with aids at Eloise's home in Decatur, Alabama in 1993. After more than fifteen years as a widow, Eloise met Coleman Lott. His wife of forty-three years was murdered in a robbery at their salvage store in Decatur, Alabama. Sometime later, Coleman's son got his Dad and Eloise together at a picnic at Noccalula Falls in Gadsden, Alabama, and a romance soon blossomed. Eloise and Coleman Lott enjoyed twenty-nine wonderful years of marriage which was sprinkled with various trials and tribulations. The Lord called Coleman home in April, 2005. Eloise's greatest desire is to encourage others living through life's tribulations, and helping them to find the peace and comfort only Jesus Christ can give. Thank You, Lord Over these many years Of heartaches, pain and tears, With one surgery after another It has been hard to be a good Wife and Mother. But with faith and trust in the Lord, He has brought me through, And, He will do the same for you.

Tacky’s Revolt by Vincent Brown Pdf

Winner of the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award Winner of the Frederick Douglass Book Prize Winner of the Elsa Goveia Book Prize Winner of the James A. Rawley Prize in the History of Race Relations Winner of the P. Sterling Stuckey Book Prize Winner of the Harriet Tubman Prize Winner of the Phillis Wheatley Book Award Finalist for the Cundill Prize “Brilliant...groundbreaking...Brown’s profound analysis and revolutionary vision of the Age of Slave War—from the too-often overlooked Tacky’s Revolt to the better-known Haitian Revolution—gives us an original view of the birth of modern freedom in the New World.” —Cornel West “Not only a story of the insurrection, but ‘a martial geography of Atlantic slavery,’ vividly demonstrating how warfare shaped every aspect of bondage...Forty years after Tacky’s defeat, new arrivals from Africa were still hearing about the daring rebels who upended the island.” —Harper’s “A sobering read for contemporary audiences in countries engaged in forever wars...It is also a useful reminder that the distinction between victory and defeat, when it comes to insurgencies, is often fleeting: Tacky may have lost his battle, but the enslaved did eventually win the war.” —New Yorker In the second half of the eighteenth century, as European imperial conflicts extended their domain, warring African factions fed their captives to the transatlantic slave trade while masters struggled to keep their restive slaves under the yoke. In this contentious atmosphere, a movement of enslaved West Africans in Jamaica organized to throw off that yoke by violence. Their uprising—which became known as Tacky’s Revolt—featured a style of fighting increasingly familiar today: scattered militias opposing great powers, with fighters hard to distinguish from noncombatants. Even after it was put down, the insurgency rumbled throughout the British Empire at a time when slavery seemed the dependable bedrock of its dominion. That certitude would never be the same, nor would the views of black lives, which came to inspire both more fear and more sympathy than before. Tracing the roots, routes, and reverberations of this event, Tacky’s Revolt expands our understanding of the relationship between European, African, and American history as it speaks to our understanding of wars of terror today.
