X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p><em>When They Tell You to Be Good&nbsp\;</
 em>charts Shakur&rsquo\;s political coming of age from closeted queer kid 
 in a Jamaican family to radicalized adult traveler\, writer\, and anarchis
 t in Obama and Trump&rsquo\;s America. Shakur journeys from France to the 
 Philippines\, South Korea\, and elsewhere to discover the depths of the Bl
 ack experience\, and engages in deep political questions while participati
 ng in movements like Black Lives Matter and Standing Rock. By the end\, Sh
 akur reckons with his identity\, his family&rsquo\;s immigration\, and the
  intergenerational impacts of patriarchal and colonial violence.</p>\n<p>E
 xamining a tangled web of race\, trauma\, and memory\, <em>When They Tell 
 You to Be Good</em> shines a light on what we all must ask of ourselves&md
 ash\;to be more than what America envisions for the oppressed&mdash\;as Sh
 akur compels readers to take a closer\, deeper look at the political world
  of young\, Black\, queer\, and radical millennials today.</p>\n<p><em><st
 rong>Prince Shakur</strong> is a queer\, Jamaican-American freelance journ
 alist\, cultural essayist\, and grassroots organizer with a BA in Creative
  Writing from Ohio University. His words have been featured in Teen Vogue\
