Beschreibung:
Roxane Gay is an American writer, editor, professor and activist. She is the New York Times bestselling author of Bad Feminist, a collection of pioneering essays and memoir, Hunger. In April 2018, she was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship for Creative Arts. She is a leading contributor to The Guardian and The New York Times and has been featured on This American Life and NPR. She lectures at Purdue and Yale. Born in Nebraska to Haitian parents who moved to the US when they were 19 years old, Gay's work deals with the analysis and deconstruction of feminist and racial issues through the lens of her personal experiences with race, gender identity, and sexuality. Her widely acclaimed writing has won multiple awards, and her voice continues to be one of the most important in contemporary conversations about race and gender.
The Power Book helps children understand their place in their family, their school, and the world, and how they can use their own power to shape the future.
