SUMMARY:Mark Greenside at Alameda Authors Series IV
DESCRIPTION:Details:  \nThe fourth annual Alameda Authors Series\, sponsored by\, AAUW Alameda and the Friends of the Alameda Free Library\, continues with best-selling author and chronicler of life in France\,  Mark Greenside. \nMr. Greenside will speak about (not quite) Mastering the Art of French Living\, a memoir that details Greenside’s daily adventures in his adopted French home\, where the simplest tasks are never straightforward but always end in a great story. \n Reservations requested: \nhttps://markgreenside-aauw2020.eventbrite.com \nPraise for  \n(not quite) Mastering the Art of French Living  \n— David Lebovitz\, author of My Paris Kitchen and L’appart\nLearning how to shop\, drive\, and eat in France have their own sets of rules\, and (not quite) Mastering the Art of French Living tackles them with a soupçon of humor. From buying a lamp to mastering mollusks (oysters)\, and learning the right—and wrong ways—things are done in France\, Mark Greenside perseveres . . . and succeeds \n— Julie Barlow\, author of The Bonjour Effect\, The Story of Spanish\, The Story of French\, and Sixty Million Frenchmen Can’t Be Wrong\nFailure to speak French has never been so funny! Greenside may never master the gender of French nouns\, but he sees straight through the French. A smart\, delicious memoir of life off the beaten track in France. \n— Susan Herrmann Loomis\, author of On Rue Tatin\, and proprietor of the cooking school On Rue Tatin in Normandy and Paris\nMark Greenside recounts hilarious experiences only a foreigner can have in France\, for they’re the ordinary things of French life that go unnoticed by the locals yet the funniest of things for someone from the ‘outside’! \n— William Alexander\, author of Flirting with French: How a Language Charmed Me\, Seduced Me\, and Nearly Broke My Heart\nSurely the funniest American to land in France since Jerry Lewis\, Greenside ‘masters’ the baffling rules of French life in principle\, while mangling them—to hilarious effect—in practice. A delightful pas de deux of humor and wisdom.” \nAbout the author: \n Mark Greenside holds B.S. and M.A. degrees from the University of Wisconsin. He has been a civil rights activist\, Vietnam War protestor\, anti-draft counselor\, Vista Volunteer\, union leader\, and college professor.

SUMMARY:Shana Redmond
DESCRIPTION:discussing the subject of her new book \nEverything Man: The Form and Function of Paul Robeson \nfrom Duke University Press \nFrom his cavernous voice and unparalleled artistry to his fearless struggle for human rights\, Paul Robeson was one of the twentieth century’s greatest icons and polymaths. In Everything Man Shana L. Redmond traces Robeson’s continuing cultural resonances in popular culture and politics. She follows his appearance throughout the twentieth century in the forms of sonic and visual vibration and holography; theater\, art\, and play; and the physical environment. Redmond thereby creates an imaginative cartography in which Robeson remains present and accountable to all those he inspired and defended. With her bold and unique theorization of antiphonal life\, Redmond charts the possibility of continued communication\, care\, and collectivity with those who are dead but never gone. \nShana L. Redmond is Professor of Musicology and African American Studies at the University of California\, Los Angeles. She is coeditor of Critical Ethnic Studies: A Reader\, also published by Duke University Press\, and author of Anthem: Social Movements and the Sound of Solidarity in the African Diaspora. \nPraise for Everything Man \n\n\n“Formally challenging and beautifully conceived\, Everything Man is a model for scholarship and thinking as well as a powerful addition to the body of work on Paul Robeson\, freedom movements\, sound studies\, music\, and beyond. It will make a tremendous impact.” — Christina Sharpe\, author of In the Wake \n“Shana Redmond’s ingenious reframing of Paul Robeson as Afrofuturist media artist is but one quality marking Everything Man as a milestone contribution to Robeson scholarship. Redmond compels readers to reconsider Robeson as a radical modernist—one whose innovative embrace of electronic media technology (film\, sound recording\, telegraph) transforms our understanding of him from remote Black Communist icon to protean\, creative contemporary. In lucid and evocative prose Redmond narrates how Robeson democratized sonic and visual modernity while engaged in anticapitalist justice work. Redmond illuminates the afterlife of Robeson’s voice and presence too—his appearances in postmodern art practices and the many places Robeson’s footpaths took Redmond where she discovered he was still revered by the far-flung descendants of the man’s midcentury comrades and congregants.” — Greg Tate\, author of Flyboy 2li
