The History And Influence Of Black Baseball In The United States And Indianapolis, Scott Clayton Bower

Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection

When Americans discuss the history of baseball, names like Lou Gehrig, Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Connie Mack, and Walter Johnson are mentioned. But what about men like Rube Foster, Buck Leonard, C. I. Taylor, Josh Gibson, and Oscar Charleston? Most American baseball fans know little about black baseball and the lives of black players. A study of black baseball, focusing on the Negro leagues, answers some of the questions baseball fans and historians might ask out of ignorance. How did baseball become segregated? How did the Negro leagues evolve? What was life like for black baseball players? How was the …

Buchi Emecheta : A Novelist's Image Of Nigerian Women, Kirstin Lynne Ellsworth

Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection

Nigerian novelist Buchi Emecheta writes about the lives of twentieth century Nigerian women. Living during the post-World War II decades of British colonialism, and the subsequent move towards Nigerian Independence in the 1950s, Emecheta's women are affected by some of the most dramatic social and cultural changes in their country's history. Colonialism brings with it abrupt changes in the degree of political power held by Nigerians in their own country, and fosters the urbanization and expansion of market centers like Lagos, based on exploitative systems of raw material extraction for the colonial power. Imposing an increasingly western sensibility on Nigeria, …

The Polish Parliament And Labor Legislation During Solidarity, David S. Mason

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

Parliaments in communist party states are usually treated in Western literature as "rubber stamp" institutions that simply approve policies made elsewhere. As such, these bodies do not perform functions of interest articulation, representation, or policy-making that are characteristic of many Western legislatures.

Viewpoints: Art And Architecture As Locus For Dialogue: The Holy Place As A Common Ground For Dialogue, Jyoti Sahi

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

This year has been in many ways deeply distressing. Sadam Hussein, while preparing the way, along with the various hawks of the West, for a confrontation of armed forces reminiscent of an apocalyptic armageddon, has looked forward to a time when he and Arafat can pray together in the Holy city of Jerusalem. Meanwhile on the banks of the River Ganges Hindus and Muslims have laid claims to a plot of land which for different reasons each holds to be sacred. The confrontation threatens to tear Indian spiritual unity apart, setting person against person in bloody conflict.

Translating, Teaching, Conversing: A Reflection In Response To The Essays Of Richard Desmet And John Carman, Francis X. Clooney

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

After reading "R. de Nobili as Forerunner of Hindu-Christian Dialogue" by Richard DeSmet, S.J., and "A Forgotten Dialogue: Protestant Bible Translations" by John B. Carman, one immediately recognizes the truth of Carman's insight that the Protestant Bible translators were engaged in a real encounter with Indian thought, even a true (though poorly documented and perhaps unintended) dialogue. Though their language skills were often minimal, and their interest in India's religions even less developed, their commitment to the project of translating the Bible provided numerous occasions for the missionaries and their pandits to search together for correct renderings of Biblical terms, …

R. De Nobili A Forerunner Of Hindu-Christian Dialogue, Richard Desmet

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

Is interreligious dialogue as we understand and practise it today a concept which can help us discern better the nature of Father Robert de Nobili's undertaking in sixteenth century madurai and enrich ourselves from his experience? Was he not above all a religious guide, a guru known as Tattuva Podagar (the 'awakener to metempirical reality')? Is not this the title by which, on January 6, 1656, ten days before his death, he authenticated the twenty volumes of olas which despite his blindness he had dictated in his San Thomé retreat? Had he not endeavoured constantly to proclaim the saving truth …

Protestant Bible Translations In India: An Unrecognized Dialogue?, John B. Carman

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

During my first visit to Kyoto in the spring of 1980, I was given the privilege of attending a meeting of the committee of scholars supervising one of the two series of translations of Shinran Shonin's works now appearing in English. Except for Dr. Minor Rogers, an American scholar of Shin Buddhism, and myself, all the other participants were Shin Buddhists belonging to the "Western Temple" branch of Shinran's followers. Dr. Dennis Hirota, who has contributed several of the draft translations, is Japanese American. The rest of the group were Japanese. The procedure used by committee to review a draft, …

The Poetic Vision Of "Walden" And The Idea Of Human Freedom In The "Bhagavadgita", Inder Nath Kher

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

In his seminal essay on "Nature" (1836) Emerson writes:

"In the woods, a man casts off his years, as the snake his slough, and at what period soever of life is always a child. In the woods is perpetual youth. Within these plantations of God, a decorum and sanctity reign, a perennial festival is dressed, and the guest sees not how he should tire of them in a thousand years."

Thoreau's Walden; Or, Life In The Woods (1854) is more than a tribute to Emersonian ideas; it is a forceful plea for the renewal and regeneration of the self. It …

Viewpoints: Art And Architecture As Locus For Dialogue: Inter-Religious Dialogue Through Art, Caroline Mackenzie

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

The epic Ramayana is a central Hindu Scripture, which, unlike the Vedas and Upanisads, has been accessible to all sections of the Society. The story originated from an oral tradition and was written down by the sage Valmiki. The date is disputed and could be anything between 1500 and 200 BC. It is said to be the "adikavya", the first and the ideal poem.

The Narrative Premise Of Galdos's Lo Prohibido, Linda M. Willem

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

In their critical study of Lo prohibido most scholars make only casual mention of its memoir format, and the fictitious circumstances of its composition are all but ignored. yet this narrative premise has an overall impact on the novel. In addition to determining the discourse order of the text, it is instrumental in establishing the narrator's authorial autonomy as well as permitting him varying degrees of unreliability. Furthermore, it affects the different narrative voice techniques employed in the novel. The following discussion will examine the implications of this neglected facet of Lo prohibido.

Response To John Carman, Dennis Hudson

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

John Carman concluded his essay with request for further information about "conversations between Hindu pandits and the Christian missionaries supervising their translations." I would like to respond with some information about Arumuga Navalar's side of the dialogue that developed with Peter Percival while working with him on the "Tentative Version" of the Tamil Bible from 1841 to 1848. The information comes from Navalar's Tamil booklet, The Abolition of the Abuse of Saivism (Caivatusanaparikaram), published in Jaffna in 1854. Navalar intended the booklet to be used by Saivas as an intellectual aid in their opposition tot he aggressive attacks on …

Reports And Interviews: Abhishiktananda Society: Retreat--Seminar: Mysticism -- Saiva And Christian: Rajpur, India November 1-6, 1990, Bettina Bäumer

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

It was Swami Abhishiktananda's dream to realize a spiritual dialogue between Hinduism and Christianity. During his lifetime most of the dialogue meetings in which he took an active part were in fact ecumenical meetings of Christians encountering Hinduism. Together we had planned a Hindu-Christian meeting in Varanasi which did not come about. In fact, Swamiji's was a personal dialogue, first within himself, and with his Hindu gurus, friends, fellow sannyasis and disciples. The results he passed on to his Christian friends and disciples.
