A politics of conversion: nihilism and love in Toni Morrison's fiction
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras.O estudo Uma Política de Conversão: Niilismo e Amor na Ficção de Toni Morrison começa com a idéia de que a Literatura Afro-Americana apresenta um sentido de auto-reflexividade e hibridismo, através do qual autobiografia dialoga com romance, o espiritual se funde com o político. A partir deste traço dialógico a auto-reflexividade é politicamente estabelecida entre niilismo e amor. Na política de conversão, o estudo analisa as formas como mulheres negras, individualmente ou em grupo, fogem da escravidão para a liberdade, avançam da individualidade para a coletividade, ou substituem niilismo por amor. Metodologicamente o estudo apresenta sete capítulos. O primeiro discute os aspectos dialógicos que ilustram as conexões entre narrativas espirituais, de escravos e ficção, entre espiritualidade e política. O segundo examina o diálogo entre a conversão, pregação pública e formação da comunidade em Diário e Experiências Religiosas de Lee. O capítulo sugere que ao afirmar espiritualidade e humanidade a narradora abre profundo espaço para a mulher negra reclamar direitos civis. O terceiro discute o diálogo no interior da política de conversão entre narrativa de escravos e ficção. Este diálogo lida com niilismo e amor em Incidentes de Jacobs e Amada, Sula e O Olho Mais Azul de Morrison. Para a análise de niilismo e amor valores individuais e coletivos são considerados em relação a cinco aspectos: ambiente e agente antagonistas, agente de apoio, propósito da personagem e resultado alcançado. É visível, no estudo, o apoio que certas mulheres recebem de suas comunidades para contra-atacar antagonistas. O apoio nem sempre resulta na superação do niilismo e, por isso, derrota temporária pode ocorrer antes que elas sejam reintegradas à comunidade, como acontece com Linda Brent. O quarto capítulo examina as fraquezas e as energias da política da conversão e a reintegração de Sethe Suggs à comunidade de Bluestone Road. O quinto avalia como a comunidade de Bottom tenta controlar a individualidade de Sula Peace e como um grupo de mulheres lideradas por Nel Wrights consegue resgatar o espírito de independência da heroína. O sexto mostra como a política da conversão das mulheres de Lorain é incapaz de garantir a saúde mental de Pecola Breedlove, mas consegue criar um papel mais consistente para o grupo. No sétimo, a conclusão examina da relação dialética entre niilismo e amor ou auto-amor nas experiências dos indivíduos e dos grupos. O estudo sugere que em Incidentes a busca de Linda Brent por liberdade envolve elementos de autodestruição e de autoempoderamento. Da mesma maneira, o estudo conclui que em Amada o amor que Sethe Suggs tem para as suas crianças mata a própria filha, enfatizando, assim, o desejo de livrá-la da escravidão. Igualmente em Sula, a individualidade de Sula Peace não apenas limita, mas também expande as experiências do grupo, levando-o à emancipação. Finalmente, em O Olho Mais Azul a luta de Pecola Breedlove por amor e beleza reflete auto-ódio ao mesmo tempo em que reconstrói a auto-apreciação de toda a comunidade

This is My Life
An Autobiography by Ralph Lindon Allen
Edited by Robert Jordan Allen
Part 2
So, we asked around about Niagara. A lady said there was no bus route to the fort. She also said she had no idea
why we would be going out there. We wondered what we were getting into. We later found that the French had built
the Fort way back years ago at the mouth of the Niagara River at Lake Ontario, which was now a tourist place to visit.
Anyhow, I made a friend that day even though we had much rather had been back home. I used Milton's shaving kit
and borrowed some underwear. We checked every bus that came in for my luggage. Then about 5 o'clock my luggage
came in, and you talk about relief The city of Niagara Falls put us on a bus to transport us to Niagara. The bus fort to
the Fort at dark and set us out at what we thought to be a bus stop. A Sergeant came and marched us to a building
where we ate supper. Rushing, we loaded onto an old army bus and went down a long road into what the sergeant in
charge called the boondocks. At the end of the road, we came to some barrack type buildings. Behind the gates we
were told which building to sleep in. It was late and everyone was tired. We had not been told anything else and we
went to bed expecting to be up early next morning. But no one called until later in the morning. We went to breakfast
in a new mess hall and a short time later a Sergeant and Captain cane in and talked to us.
We would be assigned to the l" missile battalion of Niagara, New York. We would be starting school in a few
days. The first thing that needed to happen was to be cleared for top secret. About twenty-five of us passed those tests.
The ones that didn't pass were sent to Fort Drum as infantry units. We were moved a ways down the road to another
barracks building. This was a 3 Vi mile from the mess hall and classroom. For a long time, we marched or double
timed to the mess hall and school. There were mounds all around this enclosed area and the grass was mowed once a
week. We were eventually given a bus to make this trip to meals and school. This went on for sixteen weeks. We knew
how to load missiles on launchers and run the fire control panels but we never saw a real missile until school was
finished. We were taken to the mounds after and saw everything was underground. The air defense missiles system
was operated out of the mountain at Colorado Springs, Colorado. The President of the United States of America was
the only one who could give the orders to fire. Each battery also had atomic bombs loaded on large four-booster
missiles. Our communications was tied into Alaska, Greenland, Iceland and all across Canada. This was called the
D.E.W. Line, Distant Early Warning. Any aircraft that came into our system had to identify itself At this time we
were in race with the USSR. They had threatened to come over the north pole and blow up our large plants from the
Midwest to New England. It was our job to shoot any aircraft down when they entered our zone, that was off limits.
Also, any shipping on the St. Lawrence Seaway'. In 1966 the Russians started dismounting their threats to the USA.
If they had tried this attack against us, we would have fired all the missiles and atomic weapons in our control. This
would have been the atomic battle that everyone has read about. War had never before reached this point. If that
happened, and we survived, we would have been put in as a ground force to protect the area around us. We had lots
of good training. It was hard work. I was moved with our little group of men to C. Battery in Grand Island, New York,
between Niagara Falls and Buffalo. It had a good defense system as there was water all around us, not a large
population of people on the island and only two bridges at the time as access points.
I went home on leave to be with Gail when Sheila was to be bom. On the trip I took a bus to Cleveland, Ohio then
a Greyhound to Knoxville, Tennessee. In two rides I was in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. As always, I stayed around the
bus station at night. Walt came and picked me up around 5 in the morning after I had called to Barkers Creek. We got
to Barkers Creek about daybreak. Gail was fine. We visited around with the folks. My leave time was running out, the
Red Cross made this call. I called back to home base at Grand Island, New York. I talked with my Captain and got
my leave extended for a week. On the fifth day Gail went to the old Harris Hospital on Ridge Street. That night Sheila
was bom and she was a fine baby girl. I had to leave early in the moming. Mont gave me a ride to the old Asheville
Airport in Fletcher. I boarded a DC-4^ and off I went. We had stops along the way at Kingsport, Tennessee, Bluefield,
' A system of locks, canals and channels in Canada and the United States that permits oceangoing vessels to travel

West Virginia and Harrisburg, West Virginia. In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania we changed to jet service to Buffalo, New
York. From there we took a taxi to base. At the main gate a guard on duty advised me that I better check in with the
Sergeant of the guard at the orderly room. I found out I had been AWOL for a week. I checked the work log and I was
on guard duty from midnight to 6 am that night. I went to the barracks and got in uniform then went back to the main
gate to stand guard. The next morning Captain Allen was one of the first to come in for work. Just as soon as he saw
me he remembered talking to me at home, guess what, he had forgotten to extend my leave. That was taken care of
first thing that morning. In fact, those seven days showed up on my last paycheck as leave time. Remember, our whole
unit was about 35 men. Everyone knew each other. Looking back from another time I kindly look at our whole unit at
C. Battery as a band of brothers working together.
Time moved on. The next leave time came around. I was going home to Gail and Sheila. I hadn't seen Sheila up
until this time. Milton MahafTey from Tucker, Georgia and Howard Mills from Kekut, Iowa were going on leave
also and decided to drop me off in Sylva. Howard had a 55 Ford Fairlane. Off we went to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
We got on Highway 1 to Bluefield to Knoxville to Sylva. I think they saw all of the mountains they wanted to see.
Gail picked me up at the water fountain on main street with a bouncing baby girl. This was much better leave than the
last one. Time went by and I left from Asheville on a long bus ride back to Grand Island, New York. My next trip was
to Fort Bliss, Texas by charter plane and from there to McGregory Range way out in the desert. We stayed there for
a while firing some missiles at drone planes flying over. We got some good Training there. With confidence, we could
shoot down USSR military planes and intercontinental ballistic missiles that were pointed at us. Time moves on. We
went back to Fort Bliss. Then back on a plane landing at Fort Worth, Texas. We had engine problems, so we changed
to another plane and were back in the air to Niagara Falls Air Force base. A bus picked us up and took us on the Grand
Island. We were on lO-minute standby a lot for weeks and were confined to the launch area. Then it went to every
other week. The only recreation we had was a pool table. My paychecks got up to 15 left to last a month.
The days passed slowly as our discharge day started drawing near. Thomas Pope from Wilson, North Carolina
had asked me to ride with him on our way home. He had to wait a day on me before I could get cleared off the base.
When I was all clear, we headed south to North Carolina. He set me off on US 64 just out of Raleigh, duffle bag and
all. I got a ride to Lexington. This man I got a ride from dropped me off at the Erianger Cotton Mill where Gail and I
had worked at one time. I always found it hard to travel at night. Edward was working second shift. It was just about
time for him to get off work so I spent that night with him. Early on Sunday morning, he put me back on US 64 on
the way to Mocksville. I had a bad trip to Hickory as drunks will pick up a soldier in uniform. I got lucky in Hickory
and found a man going to Cullowhee. He gave me a good trip to Sylva.
After the Army
I was back home with Gail and Sheila. We rented Annie Buchanan's house on Sugar Fork, Greens Creek. We
lived there for a little while. Eventually, Annie wanted her house back, so we moved to Richard Hall's house on up
the creek. Gail and I were both working. One of us took Sheila every morning to Mon and Dad's on the head of
Brashey Fork and picked her up in the evening. I was working with Daddy and Earlye Buchanan on Balsam cutting
timber. Gail was working in the sewing plant. An old Army buddy of mine, Thomas Pope, came visiting one time at
Richard's place. The next move we made was to the Mill House on Barker's Creek.
There was a lot of cleaning up around the Mill House. After we got moved in, I went to work with Jack's crew
picking road banks so that grass could grow. We also cleaned steep banks. I think the pay was 90 cent an hour. The
hardest bank I worked on was just below the Fontana Dam on NC 28 to Dills Gap at the Tennessee line. One man had
to hold the rope so the other could go down the steep banks while holding on. Hampton Johnson and myself worked
together on this job. Jack would pick us up around the time we should have been to Bryson City. Then we would see
how fast we could get to Dillsboro at 7 o'clock. We made the run to Topton, out to Robbinsville, to Andrews and
Murphy and to the Tennessee line. Then we would go back to Murphy to Peachtree to Hayesville to Franklin. Then
down 441 to the Georgia line and back 441 to Dillsboro by quitting time. We also cut the grass on traffic islands and
at the Welcome to North Carolina at the Tennessee line. We also did the Georgia line on 441, all for 54. So I got my things together,
left Gail, Sheila and my Plymouth car. I took the 55 Olds two door hardtop. I left around Sunday and turned south on
441 in route to South Bay, Florida. I ran into a bad storm in north Georgia and drove in it until I got to Fargo, Georgia.

I stopped to buy gas and dozed off while the attendant pumped gas. He advised me to pull over and sleep for a while.
That station was in a big swamp. The station attendant said it was a long way to Lake City, Florida. With the windows
down the mosquitos swarmed inside the car. So, I got back behind the wheel and headed South. There were only two
roads to Belle Glade and 441 South was one of them. I arrived around 3 o'clock. I was around 23 hours getting to
South Bay. Bill would soon be home from work. So, I was planning on finding a place to live. Bill and his wife Cathy
and Billy lived in a house. It was small, but I stayed with them a few days to see what we could find for work out at
Okeeianta Farm.
The next day I road to Okeeianta with Bill. We spent most of the day riding around the farm. Bill was the tractor
shop superintendent. He had hired some younger boys just about the same time 1 had called him. Roger Walker was
one of those just out of school who would later be my friend and neighbor. Some others, such as welders and mechanics
were in school. A new President for the company was away someplace as owner with 80% of everything on Okeeianta
Properties. Land had been purchased, and they were buying new equipment. They were building a sugar mill to twice
the size it was. Cane had only been hauled to the mill by tractor and cane wagons up until this time. Bill had checked
around to see where I might fit in the best. We were at Mrs. Veardy's restaurant eating lunch. The field superintendent
came to lunch and sat down with Bill and me. He had just moved from Indian River Country working at a sugar mill
in Fellsmere, Florida. Bill told him I had come down from North Carolina to try to find work. He told him that we
were friends and he introduced me to Mr. Wilber Day. Bill got a call to come to the shop, so he left me with Wilber.
This started a friendship that went on for over 11 years. He and I looked over some new construction at the sugar mill.
The dump pit had been finished by none of the approach roads or landscaping had been done. Plans were to start
transporting sugar cane from ramps in the fields by truck and trailer to the dump pit that fed the sugar mill.
Bill and his family went on vacation to the mountains of North Carolina. I stayed at their place for a month. I was
working at the cane dump with an old D7 Cat Dozer. Got this in good shape. Wilber came around every hour or so. I
was driving my car to work at this time. One day he came by and said he found me a truck to drive back and forth to
work and we had some roads to build. We also had loading ramps to put up. A crew was clearing land south of the
railroad on 17, four miles inside the main farm property. Bill and his family were coming home that weekend. I had
found another friend. Woody O'Neal. Was one of the field foremen and he had just moved from Fellsmere. I told him
I was needing a place to rent. He and his family were living at Willits apartments. One came open next to where he
lived so I rented it. I got with Wilber and told him that I needed to go back the North Carolina and bring my family
down. Bill had got back by then and I borrowed a trailer from him. I put a trailer hitch on the car to pull it. Headed up
the road north. I took US 27 to Valoosa, GA. I checked at a station for road info and found that Interstate 75 was under
construction. Some people were driving it though so off I went. I drove on gravel off and on all night. 1 arrived at
Warner Robbins and cut across Macon to 441.
I made it home to pick up Gail, Sheila and some items that we would need in South Bay. We left the Mill House
on Barkers Creek to 441 south bound again. Darkness caught us in the Okefenokee Swamp. We were just north of
Fargo, GA. We stopped at the only little motel in Fargo. We made sandwiches and went to bed. We were at the bank
of the Swanee River. Every bug in the swamp was living around that motel. I guess you might say we rested for a
while. Early that morning we took 441 to Wildwood, Florida. We hit US 27 south bound. At that time state road 80
ran together to South Bay with US 27. It was a two-lane road from Lake Harbor to South Bay. It was lined with
Australian Pines on both sides. This

Interview with Cathy Ulrich
No full textThis spring, the students in UND’s ENGL 414 workshop (The Art of Writing Fiction) read a collection of micro and flash fictions titled Ghosts of You, by Cathy Ulrich. With its use of second person and a penchant for turning tropes of crime fiction on their heads, this book is a must read. Three ENGL 414 students had the opportunity to interview the author via email to discuss Cathy Ulrich’s intentions in Ghosts of You, as well as her own personal writing techniques. To borrow from how each story in Ghosts of You begins, “The thing about being the [interviewer] is you set the plot in motion.” Floodwal

FROM THE EDITOR
Seasons come and go, and we are fortunate here in the mountains to be able to observe all four. But fall is speciaL.the
colors of nature, the various festivals, and the intensity of feeling tend to make it the most celebrated time in the mountains.
But like Robert Bolt's portrayal of Thomas More, we should be "for all seasons." Genealogically that translates to
uncovering that family bible record, visiting that aged person who has so much to share with us, or writing that personal
reminiscence that will one day be its own valuable source document. What better time than this fall to try some of these? And
late in the season, once the unfriendly critters are no longer there, why not take a trip to an abandoned cemetery and take its
census?
In this issue we spotlight the 1996 Holden Award, we give even more information on the NCGS Ancestor Exchange
Project, and we conclude the minutes of the Sassafras Gap Church. We continue with several other features as well, so sit back
with a good mountain-grown apple or two, or a handful of chinquapins, and enjoy your Journeys.

RUTH SHULER IS HONORED WITH THE 1996 HOLDEN AWARD
At the society meeting on September 12, President Brian McMahan presented the 1996 Holden Award to
Ruth Shuler. Citing her many contributions to our Society, Brian concluded his presentation by calling Ruth an
"ambassador" for our Society and a person who always furthers its interests.
(For our newer member^ who are not yet familiar with the Holden Award, it was established in 1995 by
Mary Katherine Robinson and Nancy Wilson, who named the award for their maternal grandparents, Robert
Lee and Drusilla Holden. It is presented annually by the Society after a committee has reviewed nominations
submitted by JCGS members.)
The 1996 winner is a very familiar name to most JCGS members. Ruth served as the Society's charter
president, and was one of the driving forces behind the JACKSON COUNTY HERITAGE BOOK. She has
also been the "Journeys" editor, has chaired or served on numerous Society committees, and has been at the
forefront of most JCGS activities. Her principal genealogical interest is the Cockerham/Cochran family.
Ruth is married to Roy Shuler, and they live in Cullowhee, where they are active members of the Cullowhee
Presbyterian Church. They have three children and three (nearly four) grandchildren. In May, Ruth retired as
the Administrative Assistant to the Chancellor at Western Carolina University.

A n c e s t o r E x c h a n g e P r o j e c t
The North Carolina Genealogical Society is proud to announce the
start of the new Ancestor Exchange project! Through this project,
members of NCGS can submit information about their North Carolina
ancestors for publication in a research directory book, called
Ancestor Exchange. Its purpose is to stimulate the exchange of
genealogical information among researchers who are working on the same
North Carolina family lines.
More than just a typical surname directory though, this book will
include full names, dates, and North Carolina places! The format will
be similar to "Index to North Carolina Ancestors Volume II" published
by the Society in 1984 and currently on sale for 1.00 each to
submit - a bargain considering the amount of publicity each of these
ancestor names will receive and the benefits of finding a new cousin!
Non-members are also encouraged to participate in the project.
Non-members pay $5.00 for each ancestor submitted though, with no free
entries. Please consider joining the Society if you are not currently
a member. Discounted participation in the Ancestor Exchange project
is one of many NCGS benefits!
The submission form for the NCGS Ancestor Exchange is shown on
the next page. Please enter your name and address at the top of the
form. This information will be published in the Ancestor Exchange book
as your contact information. For this reason, listing your telephone
number is optional.
The next portion of the submission form consists of the
information for each ancestor. Each ancestor to be submitted must
have either been born, married, resided, or died in North Carolina.
To complete the form, first, enter the full name of the ancestor.
Please use ALL CAPITAL LETTERS for the surname, and regular
capitalization for the given names (e.g. John Adam SMITH) .
Next, fill in the blanks for each event in that ancestor's life.
For all events (i.e. birth/marriage/death), if the event did not occur
in North Carolina, please only list the state or foreign country in
which the event occurred. Counties should be listed for all North
Carolina events where known. If you do not know a piece of information
that has been requested, please ;just write down "Unknown". For dates
estimates, please use ca or circa (e.g. cal750) . For questionable
data, please follow the information with a question mark.
If your ancestor was married more than once, please choose only
one marriage and spouse to list in the book. We recommend listing the
primary marriage, the marriage of greatest interest to you as a
98
o
< w
researcher, or else the first marriage. Be sure to use ALL CAPITAL
LETTERS on the spouse's surname.
Only ancestors who were either born, married, resided, or died in
North Carolina are eligible for submission to the NCGS Ancestor
Exchange project.
If additional entries are desired beyond the eight provided on
this submission form, please just copy the form.
When you have completed the submission form, mail it along with
any payment due to
Ancestor Exchange
North Carolina Genealogical Society
P.O. Box 1492
Raleigh, NC 27602
Be sure to include a SASE (self-addressed stamped envelope) with
your entry, and- we will send you a computer print-out of how your data
will appear in the book. You can then proofread this information and
return any necessary corrections to the Society prior to publication of
the Ancestor Exchange book.
Completed entries are due no later than November 30, 1996.
This id" an opjportunity for .all NCGS members to have "queries" about
their North Carolina ancestors published in a more permanent form that
will surely become a popular networking tool for NC genealogists to find
common ancestors. Please spread the word about the project to all of
your genealogy friends with ancestors din North Carolina - the more names
in the book, the,.more chances for-a connection!

(Editor's Note: JCGS member Shawna Hall of Waterford, Michigan has in her possession the original church record of a short-lived Primitive Baptist Church
located in the Canada section of Jackson County. She has graciously allowed JCGS to copy and publish the minutes of this congregation. This record is not
only an excellent genealogical source, but is also a fine example of primary source materials for historians.)
