Download or read book Seven Models of Urban Development written by Ira S. Lowry and published by . This book was released on 1967 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attempts to develop quantitative models of the spatial aspects of urban development for use as planning tools hardly antedate 1960. Since then, there have been innumerable prospectuses, many serious enterprises, and at least a few substantial accomplishments. The model-builders -- a group that overlaps but doesn't coincide with the planning profession -- claim that their brain-children have present or potential value as planning aids. One of the frustrations of the planner as client is that he doesn't usually find it easy to judge these claims or to choose among the many alternatives now available for his consideration. In this essay, the author shows how a number of these models relate to each other and to a generally accepted theory of the market for urban land. The undertaking involves some risk of misrepresentation, since only two of the specific models discussed are adequately and finally documented.

Download or read book Lynching written by Ersula J. Ore and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2020 Rhetoric Society of America Book Award While victims of antebellum lynchings were typically white men, postbellum lynchings became more frequent and more intense, with the victims more often black. After Reconstruction, lynchings exhibited and embodied links between violent collective action, American civic identity, and the making of the nation. Ersula J. Ore investigates lynching as a racialized practice of civic engagement, in effect an argument against black inclusion within the changing nation. Ore scrutinizes the civic roots of lynching, the relationship between lynching and white constitutionalism, and contemporary manifestations of lynching discourse and logic today. From the 1880s onward, lynchings, she finds, manifested a violent form of symbolic action that called a national public into existence, denoted citizenship, and upheld political community. Grounded in Ida B. Wells’s summation of lynching as a social contract among whites to maintain a racial order, at its core, Ore’s book speaks to racialized violence as a mode of civic engagement. Since violence enacts an argument about citizenship, Ore construes lynching and its expressions as part and parcel of America’s rhetorical tradition and political legacy. Drawing upon newspapers, official records, and memoirs, as well as critical race theory, Ore outlines the connections between what was said and written, the material practices of lynching in the past, and the forms these rhetorics and practices assume now. In doing so, she demonstrates how lynching functioned as a strategy interwoven with the formation of America’s national identity and with the nation’s need to continually restrict and redefine that identity. In addition, Ore ties black resistance to lynching, the acclaimed exhibit Without Sanctuary, recent police brutality, effigies of Barack Obama, and the killing of Trayvon Martin.

Book excerpt: Be joyful Have fun Be the happy person you were born to be Understanding, developing, and nurturing the human capacities of knowing and loving are the keys to finding deep and long lasting human happiness.

Download or read book Humane Insight written by Courtney R. Baker and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2015-08-30 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the history of black America, the image of the mortal, wounded, and dead black body has long been looked at by others from a safe distance. Courtney Baker questions the relationship between the spectator and victim and urges viewers to move beyond the safety of the "gaze" to cultivate a capacity for humane insight toward representations of human suffering. Utilizing the visual studies concept termed the "look," Baker interrogates how the notion of humanity was articulated and recognized in oft-referenced moments within the African American experience: the graphic brutality of the 1834 Lalaurie affair; the photographic exhibition of lynching, Without Sanctuary ; Emmett Till's murder and funeral; and the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina. Contemplating these and other episodes, Baker traces how proponents of black freedom and dignity used the visual display of violence against the black body to galvanize action against racial injustice. An innovative cultural study that connects visual theory to African American history, Humane Insight asserts the importance of ethics in our analysis of race and visual culture, and reveals how representations of pain can become the currency of black liberation from injustice.
