Ice Cold. A Hip-Hop Jewelry History
Whether it's diamond-encrusted grills, oversized “truck” style chains, bust-down Rolex and Patek Philippe watches or a Tiffany necklace, jewelry is a cornerstone of hip-hop culture. Glittering, blinged-out jewels are the shining statement of a collective identity: unapologetic, charismatic, and street savvy.
Spanning the history of hip-hop jewelry, from the 1980s to today, Ice Cold: A Hip-Hop Jewelry History is a stunning compilation of storytelling and visuals. Hundreds of extraordinary images of every major hip-hop artist on record celebrate how “Ice” has become a proclamation of identity and self-expression.
Starting with Run-DMC’s gold Adidas pendants and Eric B. & Rakim’s ostentatious dookie rope chains and Mercedes medallions, the jewelry then transforms from street style into a booming design culture. The hip-hop tradition of “show up and show out” reaches new heights with artists like Pharrell Williams, Jay-Z, Gucci Mane, and Cardi B, whose over-the-top pieces integrate unique pop culture references, unconventional materials, and enduring collaborations with artists like Takashi Murakami.
Author Vikki Tobak reveals – in great detail – the work of pioneering jewelers such as Tito Caicedo of Manny’s, Eddie Plein, and Jacob the Jeweler as well as newer artisans such as Avianne & Co., Ben Baller/IF & Co., Greg Yuna, Johnny Dang, Eliantte, and many more.
Ice Cold is a treasure trove of dazzling, inspirational style, featuring the work of leading photographers, including Wolfgang Tillmans, Janette Beckman, Jamel Shabazz, Timothy White, Gillian Laub, David LaChapelle, Danny Clinch, Chris Buck, Mike Miller, Phil Knott, Raven B. Varona, Al Pereira, Albert Watson and many more.
A foreword by hip-hop superstar Slick Rick and essays by A$AP Ferg, LL COOL J, Kevin “Coach K’ Lee and Pierre “P” Thomas of Quality Control Music take us on personal journeys into their jewelry universe.
Ice Cold goes beyond the ostentatious bling to reveal a transformative story that is loud and proud.
The Awakening and Selected Short Stories (Legend Classics)
"The bird that would soar above the level plain of tradition and prejudice must have strong wings. It is a sad spectacle to see the weaklings bruised, exhausted, fluttering back to earth."
The Awakening follows Edna Pontellier, a resident of coastal Grand Isle of Louisiana, in her late twenties, who has a quintessential set-up for a content housewife. Indeed, her husband makes good money, and her daily routine should gleefully hinge on the two children, but, Edna is neither a self-sacrificing mother, nor a devoted wife. Instead, she is gradually awoken to rebel against this 'perfect set-up'. Edna finds herself in the middle of two extremes. On one hand, she finds selfless Madame Ratignolle, who is a model wife. On the other, there is dejected Mademoiselle Reisz, who pursues her artistic aspiration in solitude. While taking bold decisions and carving her niche, she explores her sexuality with a womanizer, Alcee and an intimate understanding with a young man, Robert Lebrun. Will this awakening predetermine her ultimate happiness or signpost personal tragedy? Will the duality of the 'outward existence' and 'inward life' be reconciled for Edna to signify her emancipation?
This short novel is widely acknowledged to do both, encapsulating the features of fin de si?cle realism in its linear narrative, and anticipates literary modernism of the early twentieth century. Edna's defiance of the American alternative of Victorian 'Angel in the House' is reminiscent of such classics as Anna Bronte's Tenant of the Wildfell Hall. The Awakening also procures modernist works where the heroines look for the self - namely, Mrs Dalloway, Their Eyes Were Watching God and The Bell Jar. The condensed and intense prose style gives the novel a cryptic charm in line with Fitzgerald's classic, The Great Gatsby. Besides, vivid natural symbolism of water, birds and the moon are the calling card of the novel that enhances its level of ambiguity and multivalence.

Save It for Later: Promises, Protest, and Parenthood
From Nate Powell, the National Book Award-winning artist of March, a
collection of graphic nonfiction essays about living in a new era of
necessary protest
In this anthology of seven comics essays,
author and graphic novelist Nate Powell addresses living in an era of
what he calls "necessary protest." Save It for Later: Promises, Protest, and the Urgency of Protest is
Powell's reflection on witnessing the collapse of discourse in real
time while drawing the award-winning trilogy March, written by
Congressman John Lewis and Andrew Aydin, this generation's preeminent
historical account of nonviolent revolution in the civil rights
movement. Powell highlights both the danger of normalized paramilitary
presence symbols in consumer pop culture, and the roles we play
individually as we interact with our communities, families, and society
at large.
Each essay tracks Powell's journey from the night of the
election-promising his four-year-old daughter that Trump will never win,
to the reality of the Republican presidency, protesting the
administration's policies, and navigating the complications of teaching
his children how to raise their own voices in a world that is becoming
increasingly dangerous and more and more polarized. While six of the
seven essays are new, unpublished work, Powell has also included "About
Face," a comics essay first published by Popula Online that swiftly went viral and inspired him to expand his work on Save It for Later. The
seventh and final essay will contextualize the myriad events of 2020
with the previous four years-from the COVID-19 pandemic to global
protests in the wake of George Floyd's murder to the 2020 presidential
election itself-highlighting both the consistencies and inversions of
widely shared experiences and observations amidst a massive social
upheaval.
As Powell moves between subjective and objective
experiences raising his children-depicted in their childhood innocence
as imaginary anthropomorphic animals-he reveals the electrifying sense
of trust and connection with neighbors and strangers in protest. He also
explores how to equip young people with tools to best make their own noise as they grow up and help shape the direction and future of this country.
