Autobiographies By Americans Of Color 1980-1994: An Annotated Bibliography, Rebecca Stuhr Dec 1996

Autobiographies By Americans Of Color 1980-1994: An Annotated Bibliography, Rebecca Stuhr

Rebecca A Stuhr

This book compiles and provides a brief summary of autobiographies published or reissued during the last decades of the 20th century. This is an excellent source for finding personal accounts of growing up just after the end of slavery through the civil rights movement, experiences for Japanese Americans during World War II, the American Indian Movement, and the growing movement for rights for immigrant labor in the United States. Many of these autobiographies were written to provide an account of family history, hardship endured, and accomplishments achieved for the next generation.


Law Review Story, Lisa Pruitt Dec 1996

Law Review Story, Lisa Pruitt

Lisa R Pruitt

This essay is the story of the author’s election as editor-in-chief of the Arkansas Law Review and of her tenure in that role. The story implicates a range of legal issues including hate speech, sexual harassment, sex discrimination, defamation, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. It is also the tale of the author’s feminist epiphany and of the law school’s failure to respond to the harassment. It was published in the 50th anniversary issue of the Arkansas Law Review.


Legal Rhetoric And Revolutionary Change, Richard Kay Dec 1996

Legal Rhetoric And Revolutionary Change, Richard Kay

Richard Kay

If we define revolutionary change as the alteration of fundamental political arrangements in ways inconsistent with accepted understandings of law, we would not expect to find the invocation of law in justification of that change. In fact, however, such justification is not uncommon. This paper examines three cases exposing differing attitudes to legal justification of revolution-- the English Revolution of 1688-89, the secession of the Southern states at the beginning of the American Civil War and the Bolshevik revolution of 1917. In each case the paper describes the revolutionaries' use of legal language. It then shows how the use or …

Excavating The Expendable Working Classes In "The Imperialist", Teresa Hubel Dec 1996

Excavating The Expendable Working Classes In "The Imperialist", Teresa Hubel

Teresa Hubel

You can’t get much more middle class than Sara Jeanette Duncan’s turn-of-the-century novel The Imperialist. Its middle-classness calls out from virtually every page and through almost every narrative technique the novelist employs from her choice of theme—the debate over imperial federation, conducted some hundred years ago primarily in elite political circles—to her setting—the social world of the commercial classes who live in a prosperous southern Ontario town (which she names Elgin but which most critics suspect is Duncans own hometown of Brantford in very thin disguise)—and finally to her protagonists, the Murchisons, whose middle-class values are proudly paraded at every …

Some Dilemmas Confronting The Educational Theatre, Jared Brown Dec 1996

Some Dilemmas Confronting The Educational Theatre, Jared Brown

Jared Brown

"Educational theatre": the term itself implies a dichotomy, or perhaps an amalgam of two quite different phenomena. A tension between the demands of education and the demands of the theatre does indeed exist, and it is the job of the teacher-artist to maintain a harmonious balance between them.

The Trouble With Truthmakers, Damian Cox Dec 1996

The Trouble With Truthmakers, Damian Cox

Damian Cox

This paper argues that theories of truth which seek to specify the ontological ground of true statements by appealing to an ontology of truth-makers face a severe and possibly insurmountable obstacle in the form of logically complex statements. I argue that there is no apparent way to develop an account of logically complex truth within the confines of a modest and plausible ontology of truth-makers and to this end criticize independent attempts by Armstrong and Pendlebury to develop such an account.

A Gruesome Problem For The Curve-Fitting Solution, Scott Devito Dec 1996

A Gruesome Problem For The Curve-Fitting Solution, Scott Devito

Scott DeVito

This paper is a response to Forster and Sober's [1994] solution to the curve-fitting problem. If their solution is correct, it will provide us with a solution to the New Riddle of Induction as well as provide a basis for choosing realism over conventionalism. Examining this solutions is also important as Forster and Sober incorporate it in much of their other philosophical work (see Forster [1995a, b, 1994] and Sober [1996, 1995, 1993]). I argue that Forster and Sober’s solution is subject precisely to the problem they seek to solve. They provide a method of choosing among hypotheses but only …

The Revolution Is Being Televised: Pedagogy And Information Retrieval In The Liberal Arts College, Daniel Terkla, Steve Mckinzie

Daniel Terkla

In this period of rapid and ongoing technological change, teaching undergraduates sophisticated research skills demands more than the traditional library tour or instruction. It requires collaboration between faculty and librarians. The authors offer the plan they have tested and which they and their students find beneficial in filling this demand.


Subaltern Sombrero Studies: Underclasses Get Notice, Paul J. Rich Dec 1996

Subaltern Sombrero Studies: Underclasses Get Notice, Paul J. Rich

Paul J. Rich

Latin American subaltern studies are in vogue, the meaning of "subaltern" having been enlarged since its origins in Asian studies and description as "history-from-below.'"Whether social history was a sufficiently descriptive term and subaltern studies simply a more flashy way to describe such investigations could be argued. In any event, in regards to the study of Latin American "minorities" (is any group, given the continent's enormous variety, really a majority?), the subject still encounters a number of self-imposed, if diminishing, constraints that academia, in the past, has masochistically assumed: gender blinders, practical illiteracy where the indigenous peoples and religious groups (and …

Keith Clouten

This play was performed at Andrews University in 1997, 125 years after a small private school in Battle Creek, Michigan, was officially re-opened as a Seventh-day Adventist Church School, in 1872, with plans to develop a college to educate and training Adventist young people. Battle Creek College became the fore-runner of Emmanuel Missionary College (later Andrews University).
