Magnificent
This is an outstanding book on how W.E.B DuBois had insight into societal structures and how he almost seemed to describe in vivid detail our modern day society in 2020. An impeccable genius.… (mais)

This is a new edition of the Choice Academic Title Award-winning volume first published by Facts on File in 2003. Critics are right to point out that it is somewhat overdue but it is an extremely timely and useful tool for helping us put into context the social and political unrest currently going on in America and the rest of the world.

I don't think the service which the Telfair Museums has rendered the world by creating the Five Decades Retrospective, and which Suzanne Jackson herself has done by living her vision all these years, can be overstated. We're at a tipping point in history where this artist’s visualized insights stand among some of the most valuable tools available for engaging in critical discourses of existential consequence and designing strategies for confronting some of our most urgent social and political challenges.

What Jackson and her editor Rachel Reese have accomplished with this book is extraordinary. In fact, the entire FIVE DECADES project is a major achievement, especially in the current era when women's voices are emerging in many exciting, beautiful, and powerful ways. The book is also a wonderful contribution to ongoing celebrations of the Harlem Renaissance centennial.

More heavy on poetic language than technological science but that's what most readers like from this author. The superstar musician heroes and villains make a good twist for this kind of fantasy and the romance angles are diverse enough to satisfy a lot of different tastes. Best part for me is the main character Danny Blue being forced to figure out what he's turning into when the only thing he wants to do is grieve the loss of his brilliant artist girlfriend. Surprised we haven't heard songs from this novel on iHeart Radio yet.… (mais)
