Bebe Moore Campbell 1950-2006 Bebe Moore Campbell (b. 1950) is an award-winning author and a journalist. In her 1989 memoir, Sweet Summer: Growing up With and Without My Dad, she recalls living in Philadelphia with her mother during the school year and spending summers with her father in North Carolina. The book has been hailed for its bittersweet remembrances of a dual childhood and life in the South at the merge of the social revolution of the 1960s. Her other nonfiction includes Successful Women, Angry Men: Backlash in the Two-Career Marriage (1986). She has written the novels Your Blues Ain't Like Mine (1992) and Brothers and Sisters (1994). Campbell's interest in mental health prompted here to write her first children's book, Sometimes My Mommy Gets Angry, published in September 2003. This book won the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI) Outstanding Literature Award for 2003. It tells the story of how a little girl copes with being reared by her mentally ill mother. Ms. Campbell was a member of the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill and a founding member of NAMI-Inglewood. Her book 72 Hour Hold also deals with mental illness. Her first play, "Even with the Madness", debuted in New York in June 2003. Campbell has contributed nonfiction articles to Ms, Working Mother, Ebony, the New York Times Magazine, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, Seventeen, Parents, and Glamour, and is a regular commentator for National Public Radio's Morning Edition. She earned a B.S. in Elementary Education from the University of Pittsburgh. She died from complications related to brain cancer on November 27, 2006.

A lot of us saw it and tried to do something about it to irevdnt the inevitable. Insurrection. Now the chickens have come home to roost with dragon claws! What Zi live about Campbell us that she foresaw that Black excellence is a given n for those who have the needed self regard but it is not a solution to systemic racism and racial violence. Carry on.

I enjoyed this audiobook I am mad at the ending because I was trying to see if Humphrey and Mallory were going to get together. Unless she really didn't like him. Funny thing is I saw a lot of myself in Esther. I didn't like how she tried to throw homegirl under the bus though for stealing.

I’m back. So true to life! You just don’t hear this type of reality based language and engagement with race and class in the workplace on the pages of contemporary literature where ordinary people can learn something about what makes people tick. Campbell’s straight on development of characters, including diverse women who face sexual harassment head-on without losing their cool or making little side deals that have them on the couch or in a Board room signing an NDA is most impressive. The racial zeitgeist of the day , the fear and loathing between the peoples is rather predictable. Not much progress there from this novel decades ago to the present ugly moment. I wonder what this brilliant Black Austen would have done with the rise of the Tea Party, the descent into racist neo Nazi group think among the white working class, the election of a biracial light skinned Black president with a dark Princeton educated wife, two brown girls and a Black mother in law from Southside Chicago tending greens in the White House garden , of the penultimate triumph of racists and criminals in Government courtesy of mainstream America. I miss you Bebe Moore Campbell. Only so much fantasy ands-speculative fiction can do to disrupt the zeitgeist. We need writers like you who can dig into the social interactions , romance and all of all the ieople like us out here trying to create happy productive lives. It’s enough to make a ‘sister’ break down and cry like blonde perfect Barbie through the wormhole .

@coffeewithko2489
@coffeewithko2489 Год назад
It’s very triggering for me because I see so much of myself in Esther. I also see myself in Mallory. I don’t want to take offense to political incorrectness but I do and that’s because I hear the slur bubbling at the bottom of tasteless rebuttals. I was so upset at her for being so aggressive with Mallory all the time until I realized that’s how my thoughts work. I don’t mean to be this way & half the time I don’t really care. However, somewhere along the way I came to believe that if I didn’t react or address slick prejudice/racial stereotypes in conversation, I was just as bad as the one saying it. I don’t know. Just good for thought.

I hate that Esther chose a dusty in the end. First time I read the book i got mad. Tyrone? Really? She could do much better. Her other book Your Blues Aint Like Mine is very similar-struggle love, a black woman who has her own business trying to raise a grown black man who is a drunk. But she is a product of her time. Black women are out-providing black men atp and we are owning homes before they do. Supposed to be a good ending but in reality Tyrone would be one of the worst decisions Ester ever made
