Download or read book The Life of Boston King written by Boston King and published by Halifax, N.S. : Nova Scotia Museum and Nimbus Pub.. This book was released on 2003 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the summer of 1783, at the end of the American Revolution, several thousand Black men, women and children left New York City with the British Army, bound by ship for Nova Scotia. Now uniformly called "Black Loyalists", regardless of their status at leaving New York, theirs is a rich and fascinating history. One of the most well-documented of these Black Loyalists was a man named Boston King, born a slave to Richard Waring, a rice-planter in South Carolina. King experienced a religious revelation while in Nova Scotia, and became a Methodist preacher; he went to Sierra Leone in 1792 to spread the Gospel; and from there was invited to England to study at a Methodist school. While there, he wrote the story of his life and conversion. This was published in the Methodist Magazine of the times. Thus survived one of only three autobiographies of a Black Loyalist, full of details of the Loyalist settlement of Nova Scotia. It is reprinted here as "Memoirs of the Life of Boston King, a Black Preacher," edited by Ruth Holmes Whitehead and Carmelita Robertson. An introduction by Ruth Holmes Whitehead presents new research findings about King's life, and her Afterword examines particularly his life as a slave on the Waring Plantation, near Charleston, SC. Whitehead and Robertson revisited the ruins of two Waring plantations, where King would have worked as a child and young man, and photographed the dirt road, still running through one plantation, down which he would have ridden away to freedom.

Download or read book Disidentifications written by José Esteban Muñoz and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2013-11-30 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is more to identity than identifying with one’s culture or standing solidly against it. José Esteban Muñoz looks at how those outside the racial and sexual mainstream negotiate majority culture—not by aligning themselves with or against exclusionary works but rather by transforming these works for their own cultural purposes. Muñoz calls this process “disidentification,” and through a study of its workings, he develops a new perspective on minority performance, survival, and activism.Disidentifications is also something of a performance in its own right, an attempt to fashion a queer world by working on, with, and against dominant ideology. By examining the process of identification in the work of filmmakers, performance artists, ethnographers, Cuban choteo, forms of gay male mass culture (such as pornography), museums, art photography, camp and drag, and television, Muñoz persistently points to the intersecting and short-circuiting of identities and desires that result from misalignments with the cultural and ideological mainstream in contemporary urban America.Muñoz calls attention to the world-making properties found in performances by queers of color—in Carmelita Tropicana’s “Camp/Choteo” style politics, Marga Gomez’s performances of queer childhood, Vaginal Creme Davis’s “Terrorist Drag,” Isaac Julien’s critical melancholia, Jean-Michel Basquiat’s disidentification with Andy Warhol and pop art, Felix Gonzalez-Torres’s performances of “disidentity,” and the political performance of Pedro Zamora, a person with AIDS, within the otherwise artificial environment of the MTV serialThe Real World.

Download or read book Commune written by Sarah Taggart and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006-09 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prodigal daughter, Janet, returns in 1987 from a commune in the Michigan woods to the hated suburban Illinois town where she grew up, in order to care for her dying mother. When, after her mother dies, she is accused of stealing her wealthy mother's valuable art objects, she is forced to remain in town while an investigation takes place. To save herself from boredom, she volunteers at a social agency. There she becomes involved with six desperate children, whose father abuses them and perhaps murdered their mothers. Suddenly she finds herself surrounded by wise and helpful people: social work colleagues, a cousin on an Iowa farm, a Protective Service worker, a socialite neighbor, her mother's housekeeper, even the man she left behind on her Michigan commune. The healing of the children's lives coincides with the healing of Janet's damaged personality, and the blossoming of love in her life. This fast moving narrative, told in Janet's brisk and observant voice, is shaped by influence of the Viet Nam era, and chronicles the restorative power of love.
