Blackballed ::the Black vote and US democracy /
No full text"Blackballed is Darryl Pinckney's meditation on a century and a half of Black participation in US electoral politics. In this combination of memoir, historical narrative, and contemporary political and social analysis, he investigates the struggle for Black voting rights from Reconstruction through the civil rights movement, leading up to the election of Barack Obama as president. Interspersed throughout the historical narrative are Pinckney's own memories of growing up during the civil rights era, his unsure grasp of the events he saw on television or heard discussed, and the reactions of his parents to the social changes that were taking place at the time and later to Obama's election. He concludes with an examination of the current state of electoral politics, the place of Blacks in the Democratic coalition, and the ongoing efforts by Republicans to suppress the Black vote, with particular attention to the Supreme Court's recent decision to strike down part of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and what it may mean for the political influence of Black voters in future elections. Blackballed also includes 'What Black Means Now,' an essay on the history of the Black middle class, stereotypes about Blacks and crime, and contemporary debates about 'post-Blackness' and breaking free of essentialist notions of being Black"-
Chaucer out of bounds: Chaucerian continuations, adaptations, and apocrypha
No full textThis dissertation explores the boundaries that define the “Chaucerian,” a concept that was as much a product of Chaucer’s later editors, adapters, and imitators as it was a product of his contemporaries and predecessors. In exploring the Chaucerian, this dissertation juxtaposes concepts and materials from different historical periods, including Shakespeare, Spenser, Henryson, and 20th- and 21st-century film. This project not only explores the anachronistic connections that led to the creation of the Chaucerian, but also concludes that anachronism is an essential part of what still sustains it. Anachronistic scholarship that approaches texts and authors from beyond the traditional boundaries that separate them—and which separate us from them—is not only essential to our understanding of Chaucer, but essential to our understanding of our relationship to his work and to the past itself.Ph.
