Growing up in Columbus in the '90s, Abdurraqib witnessed a golden era of basketball, one in which legends like LeBron were forged, and countless others weren't. His lifelong love of the game leads Abdurraqib into a lyrical, historical, and emotionally rich exploration of what it means to make it, who we think deserves success, the tensions between excellence and expectation, and the very notion of role-models, all of which he expertly weaves together with memoir: "Here is where I would like to tell you about the form on my father's jumpshot," Abdurraqib writes. "The truth, though, is that I saw my father shoot a basketball only one time.""-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://carmel.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S162C719287</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://carmel.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S162C719287</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Abdurraqib, Hanif]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://carmel.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/719287162</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>On Basketball and Ascension</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593448793/MC.GIF&amp;client=carmelclay&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Little Devil in America]]></title><description><![CDATA["A Little Devil in America is an urgent project that unravels all modes and methods of black performance, in this moment when black performers are coming to terms with their value, reception, and immense impact on America. With sharp insight, humor, and heart, Abdurraqib examines how black performance happens in specific moments in time and space--midcentury Paris, the moon, or a cramped living room in Columbus, Ohio. At the outset of this project, Abdurraqib became fascinated with clips of black minstrel entertainers like William Henry Lane, better known as Master Juba. Knowing there was something more complicated and deep-seated in the history and legacy of minstrelsy, Abdurraqib uncovered questions and tensions that help to reveal how black performance pervades all areas of American society. Abdurraqib's prose is entrancing and fluid as he leads us along the links in his remarkable trains of thought. A Little Devil in America considers, critques, and praises performance in music, sports, writing, comedy, grief, games, and love"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://carmel.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S162C615234</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://carmel.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S162C615234</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Abdurraqib, Hanif]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://carmel.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/615234162</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Notes in Praise of Black Performance</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781984801197/MC.GIF&amp;client=carmelclay&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sing, Aretha, Sing!]]></title><description><![CDATA["An empowering picture book biography of Aretha Franklin and her role in civil rights, perfect for Women's History Month and Black History Month"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://carmel.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S162C639305</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://carmel.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S162C639305</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Abdurraqib, Hanif]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://carmel.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/639305162</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Aretha Franklin, &quot;Respect,&quot; and the Civil Rights Movement</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780374313456/MC.GIF&amp;client=carmelclay&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Fortune for your Disaster]]></title><description><![CDATA[In his much-anticipated follow-up to The Crown Ain't Worth Much, poet, essayist, biographer, and music critic Abdurraqib has written a book of poems about how one rebuilds oneself after a heartbreak, the kind that renders them a different version of themselves than the one they knew.]]></description><link>https://carmel.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S162C587498</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://carmel.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S162C587498</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Abdurraqib, Hanif]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://carmel.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/587498162</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781947793439/MC.GIF&amp;client=carmelclay&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
