NEW Everything and Nothing at Once by Joél Leon Book Advanced Reader's Edition

NEW Everything and Nothing at Once: A Black Man's Reimagined Soundtrack for the Future by Joel Leon Book Advanced Reader's Edition - New, some small marks on top (ink?) - Paperback - Advanced reader's edition / uncorrected proof - Description: Growing up in the Bronx, Joél Leon was taught that being soft & vulnerable, could end your life. Shaped by a singular view of Black masculinity espoused by the media, family & friends, & society, he learned instead to care about the gold around his neck & the number of bills in his wallet. He absorbed the “facts” that white was always right & that Black men were either threatening or great for comic relief but never worthy of the opening credits. It wasn’t until years later that Joél understood he didn’t have to be defined by these & other stereotypes. In a collection of wide-ranging essays, he takes readers from his upbringing in the Bronx to his life raising two little girls of his own, unraveling those narratives to arrive at a deeper understanding of who he is as a son, friend, partner & father.
