Book Burgers in Blackface

Download or read book Burgers in Blackface written by Naa Oyo A. Kwate and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2019-07-19 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exposes and explores the prevalence of racist restaurant branding in the United States Aunt Jemima is the face of pancake mix. Uncle Ben sells rice. Chef Rastus shills for Cream of Wheat. Stereotyped Black faces and bodies have long promoted retail food products that are household names. Much less visible to the public are the numerous restaurants that deploy unapologetically racist logos, themes, and architecture. These marketing concepts, which center nostalgia for a racist past and commemoration of our racist present, reveal the deeply entrenched American investment in anti-blackness. Drawing on wide-ranging sources from the late 1800s to the present, Burgers in Blackface gives a powerful account, and rebuke, of historical and contemporary racism in restaurant branding. Forerunners: Ideas First Short books of thought-in-process scholarship, where intense analysis, questioning, and speculation take the lead

Book Heritage from Below

    Book Details:
  • Author : Iain J.M. Robertson
  • Publisher : Routledge
  • Release : 2016-04-22
  • ISBN : 1317122445
  • Pages : 264 pages

Download or read book Heritage from Below written by Iain J.M. Robertson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research into the ways in which the past is constructed and consumed in the present is now reaching a mature stage. This maturity derives from the general acceptance that heritage as a social and cultural construct is closely connected to the making and maintaining of identity at all spatial scales. This unique book contributes to the developing discourse by focusing on 'heritage from below' in a field where the literature on the relationship between heritage and identity has, rightly, been focused on national identity. Never before have the contemporary manifestations and the theoretical structuring framework of the idea of heritage from below been discussed in the depth offered by this book. The authors first establish the concept and then engage with the actual practice and practitioners of heritage from below in the UK, Europe, Australia and North America.

Book Creating Memorials  Building Identities

Download or read book Creating Memorials Building Identities written by Alan Rice and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This incisive book investigates memorials to slavery throughout the African diaspora, with an emphasis on Europe. It analyzes not only the increasing number of physical monuments but also the practice of remembering—and forgetting—in museums and plantation houses as well as in contemporary cultural forms like the visual arts, literature, music, and film. A series of case studies ranging from the eighteenth to the twenty-first centuries, from Senegal and Montserrat to Manchester and Paris, explores issues such as the Lancashire cotton famine, black soldiers in World War II, and the 2007 commemoration of abolition in regional museums.

Book A Revolt Against Liberalism

Download or read book A Revolt Against Liberalism written by A.A.M. van der Linden and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-04-12 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first study to provide a comprehensive picture of the revolt brought about by American radical historians in the 1960s and 1970s. With the turbulent sixties as a backdrop, the work of radical luminaries like Eugene Genovese, Herbert Gutman, Staughton Lynd, William Appleman Williams and Howard Zinn is discussed. These historians made a significant contribution to present-day notions about slavery, working-class history, the New Deal, the Cold War and a wealth of other subjects. Their main target was American liberalism. Radical criticism centered on the liberal concepts of the division of power and of the nature of man. The acrimonious debate which ensued tore the historical profession apart. Therefore most historians have stressed the disagreements between liberals and radicals. Yet, in this study it will be argued that in some respects the radicals were part and parcel of mainstream historiography, though they presented a radical version of it.

Book Legacy of Letters

Download or read book Legacy of Letters written by Patsy Gilbert Coleman and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2005-02-18 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most every family has a batch of personal letters tucked away in a drawer or a cedar chest, perhaps from someone who was away at war, visiting a foreign land, professing love, apologizing for a major wrong or just pouring out the deepest feelings. But it’s rare to find a collection that tells a universal story. Legacy of Letters reveals in depth the ever-changing dynamics of a family circle. At its center is a young Southern girl who took the “normal” path to her vision of a fulfilled, contented maturity, only to arrive feeling empty and restless, and compelled to explore the puzzling questions about life and purpose. The true story is told through a series of actual letters and diary entries written between 1932 and 1977 and preserved by the author and members of her family. These treasured documents tell of ordinary facets of life but together make up an extraordinary portrait. This book is the first in a series that carries the story to the present day. In today’s age of instantaneous communication, we take for granted just how much of our history is preserved by the written word. Legacy of Letters captures a snapshot of real American history and passes it down through time to current and future generations.

Book Sambo

    Book Details:
  • Author : Joseph Boskin
  • Publisher : Oxford University Press
  • Release : 1988-09-08
  • ISBN : 0195363531
  • Pages : 273 pages

Download or read book Sambo written by Joseph Boskin and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1988-09-08 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before the tumultuous events of the 1960's ended his long life, "Sambo" prevailed in American culture as the cheerful and comical entertainer. This stereotypical image of the black male, which developed during the Colonial period, extended into all regions and classes, pervading all levels of popular culture for over two centuries. It stands as an outstanding example of how American society has used humor oppressively. Joseph Boskin's Sambo provides a comprehensive history of this American icon's rise and decline, tracing the image of "Sambo" in circuses and minstrel shows, in comic strips and novels, in children's stories, in advertisements and illustrations, in films and slides, in magazines and newspapers, and in knick-knacks found throughout the house. He demonstrates how the stereotype began to unravel in the 1930s with several radio series, specifically the Jack Benny show, which undercut and altered the "Sambo" image. Finally, the democratic thrust of World War II, coupled with the advent of the Civil Rights movement and growing national recognition of prominent black comedians in the 1950's and '60's, laid Sambo to rest.

  • Author : Michael A. Gomez
  • Publisher : Cambridge University Press
  • Release : 2005-03-21
  • ISBN : 9780521840958
  • Pages : 408 pages

Download or read book Black Crescent written by Michael A. Gomez and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-03-21 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning with Latin America in the fifteenth century, this book, first published in 2005, is a social history of the experiences of African Muslims and their descendants throughout the Americas, including the Caribbean. The record under slavery is examined, as is the post-slavery period into the twentieth century. The experiences vary, arguably due to some extent to the Old World context. Muslim revolts in Brazil are also discussed, especially in 1835, by way of a nuanced analysis. The second part of the book looks at the emergence of Islam among the African-descended in the United States in the twentieth century, with successive chapters on Noble Drew Ali, Elijah Muhammad, and Malcolm X, with a view to explaining how orthodoxy arose from varied unorthodox roots.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the vast expanse of Russia's martial history lies a treasure trove of combat traditions, each imbued with the essence of resilience, adaptability, and practicality. Among these, Old Sambo stands as a testament to the nation's enduring spirit and its commitment to self-defense and physical prowess. This book embarks on a journey to unravel the enigmatic origins and evolution of Old Sambo, delving into its historical tapestry, intricate techniques, and profound cultural significance. As we embark on this exploration, it's imperative to grasp the historical context that birthed Old Sambo. Russia, a land of diverse landscapes and peoples, has historically faced numerous challenges that necessitated the development of effective combat systems. From the harsh climates of Siberia to the tumultuous political landscapes of its past, Russians forged martial traditions rooted in pragmatism and adaptability. Within this milieu, Old Sambo emerged as a synthesis of indigenous fighting styles, wrestling techniques, and the pragmatic strategies of hand-to-hand combat. Our journey then leads us to the genesis of Old Sambo, tracing its lineage through the annals of Russian history. We delve into the influences that shaped its early development, from ancient Slavic wrestling practices to the combat techniques of Cossack warriors. As we unravel the threads of its evolution, we witness how Old Sambo assimilated elements from various cultures and regions, transforming into a comprehensive system of self-defense and combat. Central to our exploration is an in-depth examination of the philosophy and principles underpinning Old Sambo. We uncover the guiding ethos of efficiency, adaptability, and respect for one's opponent that permeates every facet of this martial art. Through detailed discussions of training methods, techniques, and tactical strategies, readers gain a profound understanding of Old Sambo's practical application in real-world scenarios. Beyond its technical intricacies, Old Sambo embodies a rich cultural heritage deeply intertwined with Russian identity. We explore its role in shaping societal norms, values, and even artistic expressions, illuminating how this martial art transcends mere physical combat to become a cornerstone of Russian culture. Our journey also introduces readers to the luminaries who have shaped the legacy of Old Sambo, from legendary masters to contemporary practitioners. Through their stories and insights, we gain a deeper appreciation for the dedication and skill required to master this venerable art form. In the modern era, Old Sambo faces both challenges and opportunities as it navigates the complexities of a rapidly changing world. We examine efforts to preserve and revitalize its traditions amidst the currents of globalization and technological advancement, ensuring that future generations continue to benefit from its timeless wisdom. Ultimately, this book serves as an indispensable guide to understanding Old Sambo's enduring legacy and its relevance in the contemporary world. Through meticulous research, engaging narratives, and insightful analysis, readers are invited to embark on a journey of discovery that transcends mere martial arts, offering profound insights into the essence of Russian culture, history, and the indomitable spirit of its people.
