Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Not all little boys want to grow up to be like their dads. The shy ones, the sensitive ones, the ones people mock as strange or call queer, sometimes want to grow up and be loved by men who stand in for their fathers. They'll put up with bullying from an older brother, taunts from the gym teacher, long work hours from a boss, and even discipline from a gay daddy, all as a means to discover what kind of man they truly want to be. In this poignant and provocative memoir, Steve Majors takes us on a journey of his own self-discovery as he grows from a gay boy in search of a father figure to a gay man grappling with what it means to be a father himself. In doing so, Majors creates various snapshots of time in which his - and the world's - understanding of what it means to be a gay man changes.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. [10], 267, [3] pages. Signed by the author sticker on the front of the dust jacket. Signed by the author with date and location on title page. The statement reads Steve Majors Takoma Park 2023. This is one of CRUX The Georgia Series in Literary Nonfiction. Steve Majors is a former television news journalist who worked for media organizations such as NBC News and most recently for mission-driven national nonprofits. His essays on race, culture, and identity have been published in the New York Times, Washington Post, and other outlets. Currently he serves as vice president of marketing for a national education nonprofit serving marginalized students. They called him "pale faced or mixed race." They called him "light, bright, almost white." But most of the time his family called him "high yella." Steve Majors was the white passing, youngest son growing up in an all-Black family that struggled with poverty, abuse, and generational trauma. High Yella is the poignant account of how he tried to leave his troubled childhood and family behind to create a new identity, only to discover he ultimately needed to return home to truly find himself. And after he and his husband adopt two Black daughters, he must set them on their own path to finding their place in the world by understanding the importance of where they come from. In his remarkable and moving memoir, Majors gathers the shards of a broken past to piece together a portrait of a man on an extraordinary journey toward Blackness, queerness, and parenthood. High Yella delivers its hard-won lessons on love, life, and family with exceptional grace. Derived from a Kirkus review: A definitively modern writer wrestles with haunting questions from his family's hidden past. A gay man, Black while derided by relatives as not being Black enough, Majors is a veteran news producer who has worked for some of the nation's leading media outlets. That trajectory might have been unlikely given his background as the scion of a poor Black family on the edges of Batavia, New York. His father was alcoholic and abusive, quick to blame his troubles on "whitey," and he and his family endured backward glances regarding his mother's patience with an untenable situation. "The older man she must have thought was fun-loving and good-looking was just a jobless drunk," writes Majors. "Worse than that, he was a serial cheater." Fast-forward in time, and the author is affluent, living in a succession of "spectacular houses," eventually in a committed relationship that would end in a hurried marriage when Trump came into office, long after he and his now-husband had adopted two Black daughters. "After the 2016 election," he writes, "[we] feared some of the rights we'd taken for granted might be rolled back." As one of his daughters rebelled, Majors found himself wrestling with anger and angst. "I was the white sheep in an all-black family," he writes. "Now I had a child who would look different from me, and I prayed it would never make a difference to her." It did, at least for a time, and the author undertook a period of self-examination and recrimination that became only a little less fraught when a DNA test showed that the family's past was rather different from how it was presented to him: "There was no doubt that this person who made half of me was white." That realization did little to make the author' sense of self less complicated, but it did provide a certain resolution that plays well in bringing the memoir to a close. A brave reckoning with multiple questions of identity, class, family, race, and other thorny issues.…
