"Though many aspects of June Jordan's unique and dynamic forms of work and activism have been well documented, "Life Studies," traces a through line of her creative interventions to form a fuller portrait of her complex and interrelated engagements. Through essays and policy reports from her days as a housing activist, speeches, her work with children, and texts from her time at City College of New York, this project adds new layers to Jordan's legacy, showing how she created "living room" to enact a broad array of "life studies" that had great effect on many people in very different institutional, communal, and public settings." -- Publisher's website."--Publisher's website (viewed 2018 June 19).
