African American Literature By Writers Of Caribbean Descent, Daryl Cumber Dance 2011 University of Richmond

African American Literature By Writers Of Caribbean Descent, Daryl Cumber Dance

English Faculty Publications

They dubbed it the Port of No Return. When their ancestors left that port at Elmira Beach, Ghana – or Goree Island, Senegal, or any of a number of similar African ports – and set out on the perilous journey over the ocean to the Americas, there was no going back for the New World Negroes. That is what for most Africans in the Americas was the beginning of their history. Whether resident in a small island nation or in the American colonies, whether under the domain of a British, Spanish, French, or Dutch colonial power, and whether shuttled back …

Editors' Note: The Name Of Las Cosas, LáZaro Lima, Felice Picano

Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications

Ambientes: New Queer Latino Writing seeks to provide a timely and representative archive of queer Latino literary and cultural memory in order to enact a more inclusive "American" literary canon that can apprehend the present and the future of queer Latino literary practice. We have assembled a diverse and representative sample of contemporary queer Latino writing in order to provide a source of pleasure for readers as well as a resource for instructors and students who have too often been deprived of this crucial though underanalyzed component of national literary culture.

Resumen

El ensayo propone un marco crítico transnacional y transmediático, que permite una perspectiva comparatista y transcultural. Esta aproximación crítica se aplica a la reflexión de un breve corpus de películas extraídas de la vasta producción audiovisual asociada con la representación de voces indígenas/indigenistas, en el espacio nacional y continental, en los últimos años. Se propone que esta producción, que se gesta dentro y en asociación con movimientos políticos, sociales y culturales de implicaciones históricas, responden al acontecimiento de la indigeneidad, noción propuesta por Jeff Himpele, antropólogo y documentalista. Las películas que se discuten son: Pïrínop (Mi primer contacto, Brasil, …


Power To The Panza!: Feminist Body Politics In The Panza Monologues (Video Performance Review), Patricia Herrera 2011 University of Richmond

Power To The Panza!: Feminist Body Politics In The Panza Monologues (Video Performance Review), Patricia Herrera

Theatre and Dance Faculty Publications

Grise relates to the audience with another dose of humor when she attempts to suck in her panza to fit into a pair of jeans. Alas, after all the jumping and tugging to fit into the jeans, Grise faces her biggest challenge: the roll of flesh bulging out from the zipper. Here, handy dandy pliers are brought to the rescue. She uses them to pull up the zipper and then victoriously stuffs the panza into her pants. This triumphant moment reveals women’s obsession with controlling and literally constraining the body so as to succumb to the hourglass figure young women …

Black Masculinities As Marronage: Claude Mckay's Representation Of Black Male Subjectivities In Metropolitan Spaces, Jarrett Hugh Brown 2011 College of William & Mary - Arts & Sciences

Black Masculinities As Marronage: Claude Mckay's Representation Of Black Male Subjectivities In Metropolitan Spaces, Jarrett Hugh Brown

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

This dissertation explores the representation of black masculinities in Claude McKay's novels, Home to Harlem (1928), Banjo (1929) and Banana Bottom (1933). I use the trope of marronage to theorize McKay's representations of black male subjectivities across a range of African diasporan spaces in the Caribbean, the USA and Europe, arguing that McKay's male characters negotiate these diasporan spaces with the complex consciousness and proclivities of maroons. I then examine the ways in which careful attention to the migration and settlement in various diasporan spaces of McKay's black male characters exposes some critical manifestations that profoundly alter how we think …


La Parte Censurada De La Historia De La Provincia De Francisco De Florencia, Jason Dyck 2011 Western University

La Parte Censurada De La Historia De La Provincia De Francisco De Florencia, Jason Dyck

FIMS Publications

Before the Jesuit Francisco de Florencia was able to publish the History of the Province (1694) he was forced to remove several chapters from the second book of the first volume. The section that was cut out of his manuscript reviews the errors of ancient theories on the environment of the New World, the greatness of Mexico City before the Spanish conquest, and the natural abundance of New Spain. This document is extremely valuable because it demonstrates how colonial historians were restricted by state censorship in what they were able to publish on America. The transcription of this censored section …
