Rebel/Re-Belle showcases the viewpoints of artists whose identities exist at the intersection of many lived experiences, including gender, race, and socio-economics in two sections: Rebel and Re-Belle. Artists working in the United States have created artworks in support of and in response to these activist movements, including the Civil Rights Movement, feminist movements, and movements for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and queer (LGBTQ) rights. The 20th and 21st centuries are defined by movements to uplift the voices of the otherwise silenced and give agency to authentic expression. Expressions of identity are at the core of many artists’ work, and artists have long used colors, imagery, gestures, and media to tell their stories and share their points of view. My students love, love, love anything by Rachel Hawkins.Rebel/Re-Belle: Exploring Gender, Agency, and Identity | Selections from the Asheville Art Museum and Rubell Museum combines works from two significant collections of contemporary art to explore how artists have innovated, influenced, interrogated, and inspired visual culture in the past 100 years.
STATUS IN MY LIBRARY: Oh yeah, I’ll be getting this book. I only hope this one doesn’t end up like School Spirits, which appears to have no sequel in sight. I really loved Harper’s tough-in-high-heels character and, of course, that cool twist at the end. There are a lot of similarities to School Spirits–particularly between David in RB and Dex in SS–but it didn’t really bother me much. It’s cute, fun, action-packed, and romantic. Hawkins does not disappoint! As with Hex Hall and School Spirits, I devoured most of this book in one day.
If the name Rachel Hawkins wasn’t enough to hook me, the pearls and knife on the front cover sure would have done it.Īnd once again, Ms. REVIEW: Oh, Rachel Hawkins, how do you ALWAYS write such cute books? I discovered Rebel Belle‘s upcoming release when I was looking for a sequel to the adorable School Spirits, and I knew I HAD to read this one, too.
Unfortunately for Harper, her powers must be used to protect David Stark, the most infuriating boy she knows.
But being perfect becomes much more difficult when a fateful encounter in the school bathroom causes Harper to become a Paladin, a superhero ninja with the strength and innate ability to kick some serious butt. She’s very busy being perfect–getting perfect grades, being a perfect cheerleader, having the perfect boyfriend, and being perfect at her upcoming Cotillion. SUMMARY: Harper Price is a wealthy southern belle attending a posh private school in a smallish Alabama town.
