Poignantand transformative. This story of Black male life in our patriarchal culture,from boyhood to manhood, is raw and passionate. It offers a true and honestportrait of all that Black males endure to survive and, more importantly, tocope with trauma, and to heal and thrive. It should be read by everyone whoclaims to care about the fate of Black males in America., As acharismatic speaker, leader, and a very good writer, Kevin Powell has thecourage...to be fully human, and this will bring the deepest revolution ofall., The Education of Kevin Powell is a raw,deeply painful accounting of a life born of poverty, racism, abandonment,abuse, and complicated love. It is a memoir as much about a mother as it isabout her son, a memoir born out of stunning writing and surprisingvulnerability. A memoir of rage and insight, heartbreak and hunger. Powerful,brave, and unforgettable., This dynamic memoir takes us through a personal journey ofpain, growth, triumph, defeat, and finally reclamations of his gifts andimportance in U.S. letters. Using his journalist's keen eye, he also recallskey events and people over the past forty years in American culture, music, andpolitics: the birth of hip-hop, poetry slams, the life and death of TupacShakur, Los Angeles' rebellion after the acquittal of police in Rodney King'sbeating, the rise of Barack Obama, and more. The intersections make his storyour story, his voice that of a generation., Powell's'education' is one with lessons for all of us, a riveting story of conflictedmanhood, the ups (and definitely the downs) of the class structure, and theongoing racial drama that has characterized America from the jump. Tounderstand Powell's triumphs, defeats, and refusal to give up, even when allthe odds were against him, is to understand America writ large. His personalcommitment to justice and equality for all, made clear here as the outgrowth ofa life often marked by injustice and hardship, is one we should all hope tomimic.
Synopsis
In the spirit of Piri Thomas's Down These Mean Streets and Maya Angelou's I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings , writer and activist Kevin Powell's memoir--"illuminating...an education for us all" ( USA TODAY )--vividly recounts the horrific poverty of his youth and his struggles to overcome a legacy of anger, violence, and self-hatred. When Kevin Powell was three, he discovered the volatile nature of his world: a place of pain, poverty, violence, fire, rats, roaches, and a fear that would haunt him for years; but also moments of joy, transcendence, and belonging. By the time he graduated from high school, something his single mother and his grandparents did not do, Powell had survived abuse, abandonment by his father, debilitating low self-esteem, a police beating, and years of constant relocation--from school to school, neighborhood to neighborhood. He was left feeling isolated, wondering if his life had any value, and doubting that he would survive to see old age. In this unflinchingly honest autobiography, Kevin Powell reflects on his tumultuous, turbulent passage from child to man. He revisits the path that led him to become a successful writer, public speaker, activist, and cast member on the influential first season of MTV's The Real World . He also recalls the terrible lows he endured of depression, thoughts of suicide, alcoholism, bankruptcy, doomed relationships, failed political campaigns, and the soul-shattering murder of Tupac Shakur. Time and again, Powell harks back to lessons his mother taught him as a little boy: never stop learning, never stop telling the truth, always strive to be a better man, do what is right. Written with urgency and insight by one of the most gifted voices of our times, The Education of Kevin Powell is a powerful chronicle of healing and growth, survival and redemption. Ultimately, Kevin Powell's journey is our journey, too., Writer and activist Kevin Powell's memoir vividly recounts the horrific poverty of his youth and his struggles to overcome a legacy of anger, violence, and self-hatred.
