Music Interview: Juliana Hatfield Talks About “Blood”

In her new album, Juliana Hatfield’s concerns are comeuppance, self-abasement, and the depravity of those who revel in the power to make decisions that can adversely affect others.

Music Interview: Rickie Lee Jones on her Memoir and Living in the Present Tense

“Then, as now, my focus was on the songs. As long as you can keep your focus on the art that you’re doing, the larger thing it can serve – selling records or whatever – that’ll happen on its own.”

Music Interview: Guitarist and Singer-Songwriter Richard Thompson on His Memoir, “Beeswing”

“I really thought that I could sustain a life in music, but perhaps I’d end up in Las Vegas backing Tom Jones or something.”

Author Interview: Talking to Jamal Greene about How Our Demand for Rights Went So Wrong

Book Review: “American Radicals” — Unrecognized Champions of 19th-Century Protest

American Radicals is as revealing, riveting, and well-researched as any work of history that I have read in recent years.

Author Interview: Peniel E. Joseph on “The Sword and the Shield: The Revolutionary Lives of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr.”

“Malcolm X and MLK evolved over time and came to converge in surprising ways. Malcolm’s movement for radical black dignity became a global human rights touchstone in a manner that made King’s struggle for radical black citizenship both necessary and more expansive.”

By: Blake Maddux Filed Under: Books, Commentary, Featured, Interview Tagged: Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., Peniel E. Joseph, The Sword and the Shield: The Revolutionary Lives of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr.

Book Interview: Heather Cox Richardson on “How the South Won the Civil War”

Author Interview: Jared Ross Hardesty on “Slavery in New England” — More Pervasive Than You Thought
