Descriere magazin:
Slanted is the story of an indomitable spirit who so believes in the idea of justice that he\'s willing to risk everything along the way for the dignity of self-identity. It provides a raw look at the legal system with unflinching honesty and offers timely insights on freedom of speech, Asian-American culture, and the power of music. Racist. Hero. Stubborn. Fighter. Chink. I\'ve been called many things on the way to this moment, but ironically, I\'ve never been called \'a slant.\'When Simon Tam started an Asian American dance rock band called The Slants, he didn\'t realize that he was starting an entire movement around freedom of expression and discussions on identity. The band flipped stereotypes with their bombastic live shows and community activism. But when Simon applied to register a trademark on the band\'s name, the government dragged him all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States.Slanted is the story of an indomitable spirit who so believes in the idea of justice that he\'s willing to risk everything along the way for the dignity of self-identity. Simon shares a deeply personal account that will take you from anime conventions to the Supreme Court, all in the name of justice. The story provides a raw look at our legal system with unflinching honesty and offers timely insights on freedom of speech, how to connect with others we disagree with, and the power of music.Gripping, funny, enlightening, and ultimately uplifting, Slanted proves that no obstacle is too difficult to conquer --as long as you have a little heart and a lot of rock n\' roll. It\'s an irrepressible story that is fresh, alive, and defines what it means to be American.Things people have said about Simon: Dance rock band front man Simon Tam sought to trademark The Slants. His aim was to reappropriate a term long used to disparage a minority group and to render the term a badge of pride. All of us agreed. -- Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United StatesWords -- even a single word -- can be powerful. Mr. Simon Tam named his band The Slants to make a statement about racial and cultural issues in this country. With his band name, Mr. Tam conveys more about our society than many volumes of undisputedly protected speech.-- Kimberly Moore, Circuit Judge for the US Court of Appeals for the Federal CircuitNo constitution, no bill of rights alone can guarantee human freedom.
