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.

Book The Natural Mystics  Marley  Tosh  and Wailer

Download or read book The Natural Mystics Marley Tosh and Wailer written by Colin Grant and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2011-06-20 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive group biography of the Wailers—Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and Bunny Livingston—chronicling their rise to fame and power. Over one dramatic decade, a trio of Trenchtown R&B crooners swapped their 1960s Brylcreem hairdos and two-tone suits for 1970s battle fatigues and dreadlocks to become the Wailers—one of the most influential groups in popular music. Colin Grant presents a lively history of this remarkable band from their upbringing in the brutal slums of Kingston to their first recordings and then international superstardom. With energetic prose and stunning, original research, Grant argues that these reggae stars offered three models for black men in the second half of the twentieth century: accommodate and succeed (Marley), fight and die (Tosh), or retreat and live (Livingston). Grant meets with Rastafarian elders, Obeah men (witch doctors), and other folk authorities as he attempts to unravel the mysteries of Jamaica's famously impenetrable culture. Much more than a top-flight music biography, The Natural Mystics offers a sophisticated understanding of Jamaican politics, heritage, race, and religion—a portrait of a seminal group during a period of exuberant cultural evolution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can true love win out when outside forces constantly pull at our marriage? Living and loving have become a daily routine. Then distain will strike, like a chord being played by a moody trumpet. It’s loud, brass, and harsh, breaking apart what God has put together. All I can do is sit in wait, as my obsession won’t let me leave and I continue to crave him. He makes my body sing; his lovemaking is superlative. My desire for his complete love is so strong. I can’t control my desire for him even when I hate him. His touch thrills me so, yet his attitude and disposition elude me. All I want is for it to be true, honest, and devoted. Then I ask myself: Is this love or addiction?

  • Author : Katrina Dyonne Thompson
  • Publisher : University of Illinois Press
  • Release : 2014-01-30
  • ISBN : 0252096118
  • Pages : 257 pages

Download or read book Ring Shout Wheel About written by Katrina Dyonne Thompson and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2014-01-30 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this ambitious project, historian Katrina Thompson examines the conceptualization and staging of race through the performance, sometimes coerced, of black dance from the slave ship to the minstrel stage. Drawing on a rich variety of sources, Thompson explicates how black musical performance was used by white Europeans and Americans to justify enslavement, perpetuate the existing racial hierarchy, and mask the brutality of the domestic slave trade. Whether on slave ships, at the auction block, or on plantations, whites often used coerced performances to oppress and demean the enslaved. As Thompson shows, however, blacks' "backstage" use of musical performance often served quite a different purpose. Through creolization and other means, enslaved people preserved some native musical and dance traditions and invented or adopted new traditions that built community and even aided rebellion. Thompson shows how these traditions evolved into nineteenth-century minstrelsy and, ultimately, raises the question of whether today's mass media performances and depictions of African Americans are so very far removed from their troublesome roots.
