[Review Of] Ronald T. Takai . Violence In The Black Imagination: Essays And Documents. Expanded Editions, Jennifer L. Dobson Jan 1995

[Review Of] Ronald T. Takai . Violence In The Black Imagination: Essays And Documents. Expanded Editions, Jennifer L. Dobson

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Originally published in 1972 and re-issued in 1993, Violence in the Black Imagination was an early attempt to overcome the pitfalls of what some academicians have termed disjunctive scholarship. Ronald Takaki reminds us that too often fiction is analyzed narrowly as an art rather than as social documents that might be useful not only to those studying literature but also to those examining history. Reviewing three fictional works, Takaki makes a case or their use as historical sources. He asserts that “black fiction not only adds to our already limited number of ante-bellum black written documents, but also represents a …


[Review Of] Paul G. Zolbrod. Reading The Voice: Native American Oral Poetry On The Page, Gretchen M. Bataille Jan 1995

[Review Of] Paul G. Zolbrod. Reading The Voice: Native American Oral Poetry On The Page, Gretchen M. Bataille

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Paul Zolbrod is known well by scholars of Native American studies for his work on the Navajo and for his commitment to the understanding of Native literature. In this book he takes bold steps to redefine much of what scholars have taken for granted about criticism and definition of the writings and performance literature of Native peoples. He is to be both commended for his approach and questioned.


[Review Of] A. A. Carr. Eye Killers. American Indian Literature And Critical Studies Series, Vol. 13, Michael Elliott Jan 1995

[Review Of] A. A. Carr. Eye Killers. American Indian Literature And Critical Studies Series, Vol. 13, Michael Elliott

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Melissa Roanhorse is having a tough day. Her mother has a drinking problem, her fish keep dying, and she has to contend with the everyday pressures of being a high school sophomore which, by themselves, are enough to keep most of us from remembering those teenage years too nostalgically. So when Falke, an ancient vampire who's been sleeping off a coma for the last hundred-odd years, shows up offering immortality and a ticket out of Albuquerque, there‘s no wonder that Melissa takes the offer and runs. What's a little blood-sucking compared to algebra?


[Review Of] Jewell Parker Rhodes. Voodoo Dreams, Opal Palmer Adisa Jan 1995

[Review Of] Jewell Parker Rhodes. Voodoo Dreams, Opal Palmer Adisa

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Until I read Jewell Parker Rhodes very finely crafted novel, Voodoo Dreams, Marie Laveau, the New Orleans voodoo queen loomed invincible, beyond the reaches of anyone: man, woman, Black, or white. But in this novel Rhodes skillfully humanizes Laveau by presenting the majority of characters, including our heroine, as soared people motivated by their insecurities and fears. Those who are bold enough to seize the opportunities presented to them, such as John, Marie Laveau’s vicious lover, exploit their power and manipulate others for their own glory. The Marie Laveau that we meet in this novel is the third in a …


[Review Of] Melissa L. Meyer. The White Earth Tragedy: Ethnicity And Dispossession At A Minnesota Anishinaabe Reservation, 1889-1920, Raymond A. Bucko Jan 1995

[Review Of] Melissa L. Meyer. The White Earth Tragedy: Ethnicity And Dispossession At A Minnesota Anishinaabe Reservation, 1889-1920, Raymond A. Bucko

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Employing a broad multi-disciplinary approach which includes history, anthropology, economics, demography, ecology, and political science, Meyer, a U.C.L.A. historian, has created a sensitive and sweeping analysis of the creation and metamorphosis of the Anishinaabeg ("Chippewa" or "Ojibwe”) who eventually located in contemporary Minnesota on the White Earth Reservation. Eschewing stereotypes of Indians as mere victims of Euro-American history, Meyer shows how the Anishinaabeg -- themselves internally heterogeneous -- transform, adapt, innovate and respond according to their own interests and to changes around them.


[Review Of] Don L. F. N I Lsen. Humor Scholarship: A Research Bibliography. Bibliographies And Indexes In Popular Culture, Number 1, Barbara A. Bennett Jan 1995

[Review Of] Don L. F. N I Lsen. Humor Scholarship: A Research Bibliography. Bibliographies And Indexes In Popular Culture, Number 1, Barbara A. Bennett

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Too often, the study of humor lacks the very thing it analyzes. That is one of the reasons Don Nilsen's humor bibliography is such a pleasant surprise. In the cataloguing and describing of the seemingly endless number of humor books and articles, Nilsen has managed to capture the tone of the subject while still doing this tedious job impressively.


"Writing A Picture": Adolph Gottlieb's Rolling And Yoshihara Jiro's Red Circle On Black, Ginger Suzanne Russell Jan 1995

"Writing A Picture": Adolph Gottlieb's Rolling And Yoshihara Jiro's Red Circle On Black, Ginger Suzanne Russell

Theses and Dissertations

Calligraphy and calligraphic elements in abstract art demonstrate the differences between Japanese and American approaches to abstraction. An examination of the use of calligraphy in Japanese art can reveal how its historic tradition in Japan lends depth and meaning to an image, which is not effectively possible for American artists using the same forms. These differences descend from a Japanese writing system that developed as abstracted images in themselves. Though the Western tradition of Abstract Expressionism art sought to make the experience of painting purely visual without the aid of narrative, explanation, or text, both American and Japanese artists used …
