Essential Dick Gregory
A soulful, generation-defining collection of thought-provoking, agitating, and liberating works from Dick Gregory, the activist and author of sixteen books, including the classic bestseller Nigger: An Autobiography and the 2017 NAACP Image Award Winner, Defining Moments in Black History: Reading Between the Lies.A true renaissance man, Richard Claxton “Dick” Gregory was one of the pioneering satirists of his generation, a reformer and brilliant spokesperson for the downtrodden and forgotten who dedicated his life to speaking unadulterated truth—and to improving ordinary lives. A revered human rights and environmental activist, fearsome and uncompromising social critic, lauded bestselling author, and beloved nutrition guru, Gregory aimed not only to educate souls, but to liberate them. His words shaped a generation and remain vital for our own turbulent times, offering wisdom to enlighten and inspire a new activist age.This carefully curated anthology of selected writings reflects and celebrates Dick Gregory’s wisdom and his vision. Divided into three sections—Body, Mind, and Spirit—it includes previously unavailable transcriptions and excerpts taken from his sixteen books, fifteen albums and audio compilations, and more than 1,200 hours of archival video, including lectures, interviews, and comedic performances. It is a breathtaking tour through the life of one of America’s most prophetic and relevant cultural icons. The Essential Dick Gregory is a pointillistic portrait of a man who gave up a lucrative entertainment career to fight injustice on the front line of battle—leading protests and hunger strikes to end the Vietnam War and apartheid in South Africa; supporting civil rights, feminism, and Native Americans,; and addressing hunger, poverty, and police brutality.This compelling volume will challenge your beliefs, allow you to see life in unexpected ways, and dare you to make the world a better place.

Exploring the Cultural Phenomenon of the Dick Pic
This book explores the dick pic in popular culture. Drawing from a range of disciplines, cultural analyses, lived experiences and theoretical approaches, this book explores the polysemous nature of dick pics. It looks at historical and contemporary theorisations of the penis/phallus, sexualisation and sexual objectification of the male body arguments, contemporary public discourses concerning the dick pic, and men’s lived experiences of sexting and dick pic sending. Made possible by advances in mobile and digital technologies, the dick pic is often regarded as a harmful endemic, particularly in the wake of increased recognitions of sexual violence against women. However, very little has been done to explore dick pics outside of violence, pathological, and moral panic framings, such as the erotic possibilities and understandings of the dick pic, and the way certain discourses continue to work to shape and frame how we engage and understand the dick pic in contemporary culture. This will be key reading for scholars and students in Women’s and Gender Studies, Sexuality Studies, Masculinity and Sociology.

Auto/Biographies of Philip K. Dick
Auto/biographical literature has been theorized with metaphors that reflect its inherent instability as a form of truth‑telling. The best auto/biographies exhibit a metanarrational awareness of this instability and favor the art of writing over the alleged “truth” of a life. The autobiographical nature of Philip K. Dick’s novels and stories has spawned a sizable body of biographical texts, many of which are creative performances that give primacy to the artistic impulse. Most critical biographies about Dick, on the other hand, do not account for this dynamic; instead, they read the fiction as a symptom of the author’s notorious drug use and schizoid tendencies. Bolstered by scholarship on Auto/Biography and Science Fiction Studies as well as psychoanalytic theory, The Auto/Biographies of Philip K. Dick: Infinite Regressions surveys and analyzes the proliferation of “biotexts” written about the science‑fiction icon, who consistently eroded the boundary between lived and imagined experience, turning his own precarious sense of reality into the generative engine for his fiction and the biographical mythology that continues to orbit his work.
