Ruby Dee - Actress, Author, and Activist
No full textIn celebration of Wright State University\u27s Martin Luther King commemoration and the 35th anniversary of the Bolinga Black Cultural Resources Center
Ruby Dee, noted actress, author, and activist for social justice, has appeared in more than 40 films and countless Broadway plays during a 50-year stage and screen career. Dee was acclaimed for her acting in her late husband Ossie Davis\u27s satirical exploration of segregation, Purlie Victorious; in A Raisin in the Sun; her Ace Award-winning performance in Eugene O\u27Neill\u27s Long Day\u27s Journey into Night; and in Spike Lee\u27s Do the Right Thing. In 1965, she played Kate in The Taming of the Shrew and Cordelia in King Lear in the American Shakespeare Festival. She won an Emmy in 1991 for NBC\u27s Decoration Day. She and Davis received a Life Achievement Award, the highest honor bestowed by the Screen Actors Guild. Tireless human rights activists, Dee and Davis were close friends of Malcolm X (whom Davis eulogized as our own black shining prince ), and their production company produced the PBS special Martin Luther King: The Dream and the Drum. While remaining active in social causes, Dee has still found time to write plays, musicals, poetry books, and her one-woman show, My One Good Nerve.https://corescholar.libraries.wright.edu/archives_presidential_lecture_series/1067/thumbnail.jp

Hagen combines quotations from various reviews of Brown\u27s work with personal comments by Dee Brown himself to introduce the novice reader to the varied life and writings of this prolific and unconventional author. This book should prove very useful for all students of the American West
Rape Unresolved: Policing Sexual Offences in South Africa
No full textMore than 1 000 women are raped in South Africa every day. Around 150 of those
women will report the crime to the police. Fewer than 30 of the cases will be prosecutedand no more than 10 will result in a conviction. This translates into an overall convictionrate of 4 – 8 per cent of reported cases. What happens to all the other cases? Rape Unresolved is concerned with the question of police discretion and how its exercise shapes the criminal justice response to rape in South Africa. Through a detailed, qualitative review of rape dockets and victim statements, as well as interviews with detectives, prosecutors, magistrates and rape counsellors, the author provides key insights into police responses to rape. A complex picture emerges, of myths and stereotypes, of skills deficits, of disengagement by police as well as victims. Responsibility for the investigation of the cases – and their ultimate failure – is shifted onto the complainants, who must constantly prove their commitment to the criminal justice process in order to be taken seriously. The vast majority of rape victims who approach the criminal justice system in South Africa do not receive justice or protection. This book uncovers the fault line between the state’s rhetorical commitment to addressing sexual violence through legal guarantees and the actual application of these laws
