Twenty-First Century Adaptations Of Early Twentieth Century American Protest Literature, Kathryn J. Mcclain
Twenty-First Century Adaptations Of Early Twentieth Century American Protest Literature, Kathryn J. Mcclain
Theses and Dissertations--English
Twenty-First Century Adaptations of Early Twentieth Century American Protest Literature examines the resurgence of didactic political literature in the United States during the 21st century, specifically adaptations of early 20th century American leftist protest works by authors such as Upton Sinclair, Jack London, and Richard Wright. While the most political aspects of these writers’ fiction are often either criticized as too politically overt – such as Sinclair’s The Jungle and Wright’s Native Son – or forgotten in favor of an author’s perceived literary merit – London’s The Iron Heel in comparison to his other works like Call of the Wild …

The History Of The Tuskegee Airmen, Derrick J. Ginyard
Theses and Dissertations
A fine account of a celebrated air unit in World War II, the legacy of an institution created by a man who brought himself “Up from Slavery” to become a leading educator in late-19th century America. A vivid portrayal of the individual pilots who brought the Allies that much closer to victory over Nazi Germany.
Afroam: A Virtual Film Production Group, Bill Taylor Jr.
Afroam: A Virtual Film Production Group, Bill Taylor Jr.
Antioch University Dissertations & Theses
Because of the gatekeeping practices of the Hollywood film industry, and the high cost of both filmmaking and distribution in general, Afro-American filmmakers have struggled to produce films with “global reach.” This study visits the possibility of Afro-American filmmakers using alternative technologies and infrastructures to produce high-quality films, thereby bypassing the high cost and exclusionary practices of Hollywood studios. Using new 21st-century digital technology, this study involved the creation of a small geographically dispersed virtual film production team. The study’s foundational framework was a constructivist qualitative research paradigm, using Action Research, and supported by 24 months of triangulated data from …

Subject Disintegration: Identity And Alterity In The Age Of The Hyperreal, Sophie Ell
Subject Disintegration: Identity And Alterity In The Age Of The Hyperreal, Sophie Ell
American Studies ETDs
What do the signs “identity” and “alterity” point to within the economy of representation and the logic of simulation that govern the present era? How does the visual saturation of a screen-mediated life affect the study of identity? Where does the information overload within which we operate leave the production of knowledge about otherness? My goal in this project is not to resolve these questions, but rather to linger in them. Focusing on various portrayals of categorical identities in film, photography, and digital media, I utilize a semiotic analysis to examine the formulaic, repetitive maneuvers of signification practices that reproduce …

A Trifling Affair: Loomis Lyman Langdon And The Third Seminole War, Patricia R. Wickman
Florida Historical Quarterly
When, in 1899, Colonel Loomis Lyman Langdon, United States Army, Retired, penned the ironic statement which referred to “A Trifling Affair,” he did so, at least, from the vantage point of forty years of active military service to his country. His had been a long and eventful carrer and, particularly as regards Florida history, one might even say that Colonel Langdon was a man who had been in all the “right” places at all the “right” times.

War Comes To San Marcos, Lawrence Kinnaird
War Comes To San Marcos, Lawrence Kinnaird
Florida Historical Quarterly
Of all the military posts established by Spain in West Florida after the Revolutionary War, San Marcos de Apalache was the only one ever to come under enemy fire. When Spain signed the treaty of San Ildefonso on August 19, 1796, and joined France in the war against Britain, military posts on the Mississippi were prepared for possible attack from Canada. There were many alarms, but all proved false. Along the Gulf coast no Spanish post was besieged by the enemy until war was brought to San Marcos by William Augustus Bowles, a British half-pay officer, and his Indian supporters.

Politics Of Patronage: Florida Republicans During The Hoover Administration, David J. Ginzl
Florida Historical Quarterly
On November 6, 1928, Republican presidential candidate Herbert Clark Hoover won a national landslide victory, receiving over fifty-eight per cent of the popular vote and carrying all but eight states. Among the states supporting Hoover were Virginia, North Carolina, Texas, and Florida, the first Republican victories in these southern states since Reconstruction more than a half century earlier.
Cuban Patriots In Key West, 1878-1886: Guardians At The Separatist Ideal, Gerald E. Poyo
Cuban Patriots In Key West, 1878-1886: Guardians At The Separatist Ideal, Gerald E. Poyo
Florida Historical Quarterly
The signing of the Zanjón Pact in February 1878 signaled the termination of the Cuban Ten Years War, the first phase of the island’s efforts to gain freedom from Spain. However, for many Cubans the treaty represented only a temporary setback, and in Key West it was clear from the start the community would not accept the pact. During the next decade separatist activity continued unabated, though actual fighting was sporadic at best and never a serious threat to Spanish domination.

Wherever The Fight Is Thickest: General James Patton Anderson Of Florida, Larry Rayburn
Florida Historical Quarterly
On the night of October 8, 1861, in the harbor of Pensacola Bay, long columns of gray clad soldiers marched slowly aboard steamers moored by the dock. Officers whispered orders, and the enlisted men spoke in hushed tones. Aside from their voices, only the rattle of canteens and the lapping of water against the steamers broke the silence of the autumn darkness.

Strivings For Sovereignty: Alexander Mcgillivray, Creek Warfare, And Diplomacy, 1783-1790, Thomas D. Watson
Florida Historical Quarterly
The outcome of the American Revolution left the Creek confederacy in a perilous state. Most Creeks had sided with the British and were dismayed when they learned in 1783 that Britain had bought peace largely at their expense. Alexander McGillivray, the half-breed Creek, spoke for his people when he conveyed their anger to British authorities at finding their “country betrayed . . . and divided between the Spaniards and Americans.“

The Mosquito Fleet's Guides And The Second Seminole War, George E. Buker
The Mosquito Fleet's Guides And The Second Seminole War, George E. Buker
Florida Historical Quarterly
The significance of the navy’s role in the Second Seminole War has often been overlooked, especially its impact upon the Seminole nation through the many naval canoe expeditions into the Everglades during the last years of the war. Yet the fact remains that these incursions caused the Seminole people to break up their their war bands and resort to small family groups to avoid the pursuing sailors and marines. Such dispersal destroyed the Indians’ ability to maintain an effective military posture against the United States forces in southern Florida. Once the navy obtained proficient guides who were knowledgeable about the …

Legislating A Homestead Bill: Thomas Hart Benton And The Second Seminole War, Michael E. Welsh
Florida Historical Quarterly
Of the many causes Thomas Hart Benton espoused in his long Senate career, few demonstrate more clearly his perseverance and determination than his support for Florida during the Second Seminole War (1835-1842), culminating in his Armed Occupation Act of 1842. The United States government and its citizens, in pursuit of a policy of aggressive territorial growth, met the stubborn resistance of an exotic blend of runaway slaves and expatriate Indians in the swamps and marshes of the Florida peninsula. Determined not to suffer a fate similar to other southeastern tribes during the years of Indian removal, the Seminoles mounted a …

Torment Of Pestilence: Yellow Fever Epidemics In Pensacola, George F. Pearce
Florida Historical Quarterly
For more than a century, yellow fever epidemics intermittently swept over Pensacola, Florida, producing a high mortality, disrupting its economic and social life, dividing community leaders and medical authorities over courses of action in combatting them, causing untold numbers to flee, some permanently, and keeping those who remained in a state of demoralizing terror. The approach of summer each year invariably brought with it the fear of a repetition of the dreadful experience. This atmosphere of apprehension and utter helplessness was nourished by ignorance about the origin, transmission, and prevention of the disease. It was not until 1900 that medical …
