The Glasgow Race Disturbances of 1919
No full textThe 1919 race 'riots' in Britain are still an under-researched area of black history and the events in Glasgow have been particularly neglected. Using an extensive range of newspaper reports and some first-hand accounts, this article attempts to reconstruct the Glasgow disturbances. It also examines their significance in the overall framework of the British experience, in the particular context of 'Red Clydeside' and the background of the victims of these racial attacks. The particular circumstances of the Glasgow disturbances not only add to our knowledge of the 1919 riots but offer a more complex analytical perspective for future research

Jacqueline Barnitz: 40 Years of Publications
No full textJacqueline Barnitz: 40 Years of Publications
Jacqueline Barnitz is responsible for establishing modern Latin American art as an area of concentration
within art history at the University of Texas at Austin, where she has taught now for 25 years. She's a
major reason why UT Austin is known as the best place in the nation for studying modern Latin American
art. A notable record of publication accompanies her career as a distinguished educator. In fact, her
interest in Latin American art goes back to her tenure as an art critic in New York for the periodicals Art
Voices (1964-1965) and Arts Magazine (1964-1975). Additionally, she's been the curator of numerous art
exhibitions and, subsequently, the author of many exhibition catalogs. In 2000 UT Press published her
much-anticipated and seminal book Twentieth-Century Art of Latin America, which quickly became the
textbook on the subject. We present this display of selected publications as a tribute to her outstanding
contributions to the university and to the field of art history.UT Librarie
