How Blue Can You Get? B.B. King, Planetary Humanism and the Blues behind Bars
No full textThis article honours the memory of blues musician B.B. King, who died on 14 May 2015, through focusing on his performances in prisons. The article situates his concerts inside Cook County jail and Sing Sing within the wider political crisis during the 1970s surrounding issues of race and class in the American prison system. It suggests the historical resonance of these events can be interpreted through using Paul Gilroy’s notion of planetary humanism. The tone of B.B. King’s guitar carries both the historical trace of African American experience while at the same time voicing a humanistic sensibility beyond the brutalities of racism and incarceration

No full textThis 16-page large-format (8¼ x 10) booklet with two staples is in such good condition that I have wondered if it is a reproduction. The rusty staples suggest that it is not. The front cover features a close-up of the old man and his son together on the donkey. The back cover shows the tortoise passing the hare. Inside there are four more full-page colored pictures and four part-page black-and-white illustrations for MSA. The final colored picture shows the donkey partially under water and comments The Ducks were most amused. LM has two full-page colored pictures and two part-page black-and-white designs. TH has two more of the former and one of the latter. The back cover's hare wears not only an athletic uniform with an H on the shirt but also blue shoes! The best illustrations may be the first two, including walking the donkey to market. I wish I could find more information about this very nice pamphlet
