Abstract:

This study is intended to analyze the persistence of African American stereotype in the contemporary slavery-themed novel authored by Valerie Martin, Property (2003). Valerie Martin is a white author, who seems to have changed the slavery discourse, but the stereotyping of African Americans is still there and built in a new form of stereotyping. Postcolonial analysis showed that the stereotyping of African Americansas ‘other’ existed in direct stereotyping and indirect stereotyping. Direct stereotyping is that the author directly uses the pejorative language and symbols in forming the African

In this paper, we talk about the representation of African American Vernacular English (AAVE) in literary works. Up till the early nineteenth century AAVE was represented by non-native speakers, who were mostly white authors (Minnick, 2004). The approach of these authors towards the dialect is claimed to be derogatory. The linguistic prejudice against AAVE was a result of the social prestige attached not with the language variety but with its speakers, who had their origins in slavery.

In recent years, Whites in many circles have been hesitant to present African American spirituals.

It seems that, in an attempt to honor this music, many Whites have done the very thing they try to avoid: depriving African Americans of having the final word in matters of their culture, in this case, usurping

Although the element of race may have an impact on the effectiveness of traditional treatment approaches to African American men who batter, literature on approaches to reduce this problem among African American men is sparse. The author examines how ethnically sensitive approaches combined with traditional methods may influence treatment outcomes in this population.

Abstract: Toni Morrison’s novel Song of Solomon (1977) reveals relations between African American literature and Appalachian literature that have hitherto been ignored. Analyzing scholarship on Appalachian literature alongside Morrison’s novel highlights similarities between African American literature and Appalachian literature, such as connections to oral folklore, discussions of who constitutes a representative author of the canon, and sense of place. However, by placing Morrison’s novel against a rubric of traditional/scholarly conceptions of Appalachian literature, we find an absence in t

Abstract:

The article reconstructs the discourse of film criticism in Liberator – a radical African American magazine published between 1961 and 1971. Employing Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of the cultural field, the author situates Liberator within the context of the 1960s, civil rights movement, and Black Arts movement, and analyses the magazine’s role in film culture of the era, as well as the links between the magazine and important black filmmakers and film writers. Four aspects of Liberator’s film criticism are explored: cultural memory of past representations, criticism of genre filmmaking, the need

Abstract:

The author provides a theoretical perspective for understanding the roles African American fathers play in their families. Ecological theory considers the context in which African American fathers play the roles of provider, protector, shared decision maker, child socializer, and supporter of his spouse. From an ecological and historical perspective, despite economic, employment, and educational barriers, African American fathers are no different from fathers in other ethnic groups regarding the roles they play within their family.

Essay on interpretations of visual art in societies of the African diaspora. Author relates this to recent shifts in anthropology and art history/criticism toward an increasing combining of art and anthropology and integration of art with social and cultural developments, and the impact of these shifts on Afro-American studies. To exemplify this, she focuses on clothing (among Maroons in the Guianas), quilts, and gallery art. She emphasizes the role of developments in America in these fabrics, apart from just the African origins.

The informal support networks of African American elders have an important impact on the effectiveness of social service interventions. The author identifies and discusses critical functions performed by second-and third-generation adult kin (niece, nephew, and grandchild) in the care and support of low-income African American elderly. Complementary functional roles and tasks performed by grandchildren, nieces, or nephews assist the elderly as well as the primary caregiver in interacting with the formal service system. Practitioners need to be knowledgeable about and sensitive to the complexit

Although mindful of the context of debates about a global tendency towards the formation of regional communities [of which the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN), the North American Free Trade Area (NAFTA), and the European Union (EU) are examples] the author focuses on the nature of regional integration in Southern Africa. In turn, however, the example of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) is used to reflect on a number of broader theoretical issues concerning discourses and processes of regional integration. The author notes how, in the early 1980s, the forerunner

Abstract:

The article focuses on studying the evolution of the U.S. society and exploring phenomena of racism and slavery. Given the fact that the modern American society is considered as the field of numerous opportunities for every person, it is worth to track its transformation and to identify the key milestones or turning points of the U.S. history in this regard. The author identifies racism as one of the slavery’s reasons, condemning the both phenomena and exploring the ways of resisting them among Americans in the first years of the United States of America as a new independent and single state.

Toni Morrison's work is notable for its emphasis on the problems of African-American national and cultural identity. The vast majority of characters in Morrison's novels represent a relevant cross-section of American society; the writer explores the historical fate of the black population of the New World, the complicated processes of transition from slavery to freedom. In the novels of the early 1970s («The Bluest Eye», «Sula») Morrison explores the destructive aspects of disintegration in the fates of characters who cannot transcend «collapsed communities» and «broken families» and partly fa

This debate, a clash over the economics and ethics of equality, is nothing less than a struggle over the future of racial identity, race relations, and racial progress in the current post–civil rights movement era.With the stakes for African Americans so high, and the prospects for affirmative action dim, public intellectuals have weighed in heavily on each side of the issue.

This essay presents Jay Wright’s play Lemma as a historiographical challenge and also as a piece of idiorrhythmic American theater. Consonant with his life’s work of poetry, dramatic literature, and philosophical writing, Lemma showcases Wright’s expansive intellectual framework with which he constructs vivid, dynamic, and complex visions of American life. The “America” conjured here is steeped in many traditions, traditions typically kept distinct by academic discourse, such as West African cosmology, Enlightenment philosophy, jazz music theory, Ancient Greek theater, neo-Baroque modification

This essay explores the temporal differences between the lived experience of black flesh and the black body. The author uncovers an aesthetics of the open body that differs greatly from the ongoing naturalizing of the always already marked black body. There is an emerging focus in twenty-first century African American literature on the anticipation of a second skin and an open body that has the feeling of “finna” (the African American vernacular that captures the feeling of what is almost already here). The author unveils the aesthetics of “finna” in art created by Toni Morrison, Claudia Ranki
