A new feature of the Artists Network site:
Reviews, tips and opinions from Araby Carlier.
|
Araby Carlier is a member of the see you in the
streets generation that has brought us the
anti-globalization and anti-war movements. As a young
urban warrior she defended abortion clinics, stood
with the people in the streets of Cincinnati during
the rebellion after the police murdered Timothy
Thomas, she led Philly Freedom Summer against the
execution of Mumia Abu-Jamal, and has spoken at
countless demonstrations, conferences, radio shows,
and workshops across the country.
Most recently she co-produced for the Artists Network
of Refuse & Resist!, "Unconventional Heroes"-- an
evening of performance honoring courageous resisters
presented in the thick of the protest against the RNC
in NYC.
Araby became obsessed with novels after tasting the
liberation in Nervous Conditions by Tsitsi Dangarembga
and Steinbeck's classic Grapes of Wrath. Armed with
the certainty that anyone will LOVE a great book,
Araby is applying her creativity and determination to
write about novels in a fresh way because she is
confident that another world is possible and many
books that already exist may light the way.

Public Enemy #2
An All-New Boondocks Collection
With all the pre-election Boondocks strips, including my favorite "Vote or Die" strips .. and I can't tell the punchline because the strip is a visual medium.
From the Introduction by Aaron McGruder:
"Doing a TV show is like being stuck in a "making of" documentary for 72 weeks without the boring parts cut out. And it takes lots and lots of time. But if there's one lesson you learn early on in Hollywood it's never to quit your day job. So I spend just about all of my time trying to make sure that the strip and the show don't suck ...
In the still depressing weeks and months that have followed the election, let this book be your reminder that you're really not the only one still pissed off about what's happening in the world, and that as long as Huey is on the page, you never will be."
