From Black Studies To Multiculturalism: The Evolution Of The Bolinga Black Cultural Resources Center At Wright State University, 1971-2018, Opolot Okia

History Faculty Publications

With the growth of Black studies departments and programs across the United States in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the field developed with a prominent multidisciplinary focus and a mission to affect meaningful social change. Much of the literature on the Black studies movement has focused on the academic programs and departments established during this formative period. Outside of Ohio State University and Kent State University, little has been published on the development of Black studies in Ohio. Moving beyond academic programs, there is also very little research on Black cultural centers. Compounding this problem, the research on Black …

The 1973 Termination Of The Use Of U.S. Military Forces In Indochina, Barry M. Block

Browse all Theses and Dissertations

On June 26, 1973, Congress passed a supplemental appropriations bill that included a rider that immediately cutoff the use of U.S. funds for U.S. combat activities in Cambodia or Laos. President Nixon vetoed this bill and the House failed to override the veto. Nixon and Congress negotiated a “compromise” under which the cutoff did not take effect until August 15, 1973 and applied also to Vietnam. This thesis concerns the reasons that Congress passed this revised rider, that Congress expanded the rider to Vietnam, and that Nixon signed the revised rider. Changed circumstances (such as the Vietnam Peace Accords) helped …

Big Screen Empire : What Foreign Films Reveal About The Perceptions Of U.S. Military Bases In Affected Host Nations, John Richard Walker

Browse all Theses and Dissertations

Existing scholarly literature on U.S. military bases in foreign nations does not adequately take films depicting such installations into account. This master’s thesis is a corrective for this oversight. Recognizing the utility of foreign films featuring American military bases or troop presences, this thesis examines them in light of scholarly work on these installations. Of particular importance in this analysis are the periodization of U.S. basing favored by Robert Kaplan and the categorization of varieties of antibase protest favored by Kent Calder. Using these two writers as an analytical framework, as well as histories of U.S. basing and military occupations, …
