Iboga has a ritual ceremony that is as powerful as the substance itself.

The sign of high quality is the fact the book was banned by the government. Trash literature NEVER EVER had any troubles with the law.

Don't let people let you down. It's what they're supposed to do. If you let a person let you down, you knew it all along so you are really letting down yourself.

Romare Bearden: Artist & Writer

September 2, 1911 - March 12, 1988

Books:

A History of African-American Artists - Romare Bearden & Harry Henderson

A landmark work of art history: lavishly illustrated and extraordinary for its thoroughness, A History of African-American Artists – conceived, researched, and written by the great American artist Romare Bearden with journalist Harry Henderson, who completed the work after Bearden’s death in 1988 – gives a conspectus of African-American art from the late eighteenth century to the present. It examines the lives and careers of more than fifty signal African-American artists, and the relation of their work to prevailing artistic, social, and political trends both in America and throughout the world.

Li'l Dan, the Drummer Boy: A Civil War Story - Romare Bearden

Li'l Dan, a slave on a Southern plantation, loves to play his drum. When a company of Union soldiers announce that the slaves have been set free, Dan has no place to go, so he follows the soldiers, who make him their mascot. But Confederate soldiers attack, and Dan discovers that he is the only one who can save his friends. The only children’s book ever written and illustrated by legendary American artist Romare Bearden

My Hands Sing the Blues - Jeanne Walker Harvey, Elizabeth Zunon (Illustrator)

As a young boy growing up in North Carolina, Romare Bearden listened to his great-grandmother’s Cherokee stories and heard the whistle of the train that took his people to the North—people who wanted to be free. When Romare boarded that same train, he watched out the window as the world whizzed by. Later he captured those scenes in a famous painting, Watching the Good Trains Go By.

The Block - Langston Hughes (Poetry) Romare Bearden (Illustrations)

Thirteen poems about the New York City neighborhood of Harlem are teamed with the collage painting, The Block, a celebration of the bustle of Harlem, from the corner grocery store to the local Baptist church. 

Me and Uncle Romie - Claire Hartfield  

Whooo-ooo! Train’s a’ coming! James can’t wait to get on board and go visit his uncle way up north in New York City. But he also just wishes he could take a little bit of home along with him-things like baseball games, and the special birthday cake Mama always makes. Will Uncle Romie, who’s some kind of artist, know about things like that?

Conjuring Bearden - Richard J. Powell  

Conjuring Bearden, a richly illustrated exhibition catalog, explores the theme of the “conjur woman” in the work of artist Romare Bearden. Throughout his career, Bearden represented the female figure of the conjurer, or her Caribbean equivalent, the Obeah woman, in his art. Enthralled by her spirituality and power to transform, Bearden depicted the Obeah in his collage, photomontage, and watercolors. Although much has been written about Bearden, this is the first book to critically address his obsessive and creative relationship with this figure of the black vernacular.
