Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An exploration of how African American innovators and artistswhose impact and financial value in American music, movies, and TV is disproportionately greater than their numbershave fought for and often won the rights to own and benefit from their own work.When we think about the things that have barred success for African Americans, intellectual property law is hardly the first thing that comes to mind, if we even think of it all. We certainly don't think of it as the launching pad for building generational wealth in the Black community, so it follows that we don't see our favorite pop stars as revolutionary race warriors. African American artists have finally, belatedly, come to be the owners of their art and beneficiaries of the money their art makes, after centuries of producing life-changing art. There were hundreds and thousands of Bessie Smiths before we ever got Beyoncé or Kendrick Lamar. Lisa E. Davis, one of the foremost entertainment attorneys in the country, traces the epic journey Black Americans have been on, from being claimed as property to claiming the benefits of intellectual property. As she notes, "Under slavery, our minds were always free, but there was no profit from what our minds created." Beginning in the 18th century with the drafting of the Constitution and ending in the 21st century with a warning about the role technology will play in creative industries, Our Minds Were Always Free tells the story of the indelible legacy of Black American genius and the struggle to receive the credit and the profit that they deserved.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A lively and captivating journey through the world of the Transcendentalists, America's first group of public intellectuals, whose visionary ideas reinvented our culture and politics and remain an inspiration today. "An impeccable and often dazzling behind-the-scenes look at the Concord iconoclasts clustered around Emerson who helped define what it means to be an American original." Douglas BrinkleyIn the 1840s, America was a land of utopian promise, and nowhere captured this spirit of possibility better than Concord, Massachusetts. At the heart of this intellectual and cultural revolution was Ralph Waldo Emerson, a national celebrity who brought together a circle of bold and creative free thinkers. In The Emerson Circle, Bruce Nichols delivers a fascinating narrative of this transformative era, breathing life into the friendships and philosophies that comprised the titanic intellectual energy of this American Renaissance. Concord wasn't just a town; it was a crucible of innovation and reform. Luminaries such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Margaret Fuller, Louisa May Alcott, and Henry David Thoreau gathered there, united by ideas that would shape the nation. Nichols recreates this vibrant world, packed with brilliant conversations, emotional correspondences, and the essays, novels, speeches, and poetry that forever marked and changed American culture. Along the way, he shares intimate, surprising detailsThoreau's frustration with Emerson, Hawthorne's intense shyness masking deep love and hatethat make these iconic figures human. This book captures a forgotten utopian moment in our history. Anything seemed possible: abolishing property, money, and marriage, not just slavery; granting equal rights to women; eating vegan diets; banning alcohol and caffeine. These men and women turned away from the Bible in favor of the natural world and science, and they inspired our greatest early writers to create their most original and lasting works. With vivid storytelling and thought-provoking insights, Bruce Nichols invites us to reimagine the power of ideas to change the worldjust as Emerson and his circle did nearly two centuries ago.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - From the author of American Edenfinalist for the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and morecomes a sweeping, richly researched biography of Frederic Church, the great 19th-century American artist whose stunning paintings of remote lands and seas thrilled American audiences and put the young republic on the map of world culturepublished on Church's bicentennial. "They came to see the world." New York, spring 1859. Outside Frederic Church's Tenth Street studio, men and women amassed by the thousands hoping for a glimpse of his magnificent Heart of the Andes: a painting whose sublime, 'near supernatural' rendering of the vast Andean landscape encountered on the artist's recent travels introduced thousands of Americans to the fierce, majestic beauty of the far-flung wildernesses of the globe. Frederic Church brought the world to America, and America into the world. Cementing the United States as a cultural and artistic force a full century before America's Abstract Impressionists rose to prominence, Church's bold paintings composed odes in color, shadow, and light to natural places near and far: the lush jungles of South America and immense icebergs of Newfoundland where he journeyed as a young man; the Syrian deserts and ancient, ruined cities where he and his wife traveled following the devastating loss of their two young children; the verdant, luminous valley around the Hudson where Church first studied painting and where he returned and established his estate, Olana, whose landscape itself became a work of art. Deeply influenced by the work of Alexander von Humboldt, Church conjured a vision of the natural world as a place of communion with creation. Church charted, across the latter half of the 19th century, a career that both inhabited and gave shape to the artistic, cultural, and political crosscurrents of his day. Through a close examination of Church's letters, sketches, paintings, and diaries, and traveling in Church's footsteps to Egypt, the Andes, Petra, Jamaica, and Jerusalem, Johnson traces the path not only of one man's life, but of a country swept up in an era of vast and vertiginous change. Church worked and lived in New York in the city's formative years. He was a founder of its first great museum, the Met, and in paintings, not in words, he conveyed his passion for the exquisite natural beauty of the United States, but also for a Union free of slavery. He gave Americans visions of the majesty of their own new country and of the wonders of worlds only to be seen in paintings by this astonishing adventurer and artist. Church was a master artist and innovator, turning landscape painting into a portrait of a nation, and in the process, putting American art on the map of the world. Glorious Country is a book, Johnson writes, "about how we see and what we save.".
