The Hybridizing Nature Of Ancestor Presence In Morrison’S Sula, Mounica V. Kota Ms.
The Hybridizing Nature Of Ancestor Presence In Morrison’S Sula, Mounica V. Kota Ms.
Oglethorpe Journal of Undergraduate Research
In her writings, Toni Morrison works towards a common goal of establishing a black literary canon, once that represents black characters as autonomous and nuanced human beings unable to be boxed into a one-dimensional narrative. Part of this overarching project appears to be creating a hybridizing narrative in which the cultural roots of various African-American communities are integrated with the social movements of the modern diaspora. One common theme between her novels is the inclusion of a specific ancestral figure, one that functions as some kind of pushing point or learning tool for the community within the story.

Bharati Mukherjee’S Jasmine: Decolonizing Text Or Postcolonial Jane Eyre?, Mounica V. Kota Ms.
Oglethorpe Journal of Undergraduate Research
A strong belief in the diversity of the immigration narrative is found time and time again in Mukherjee's novel Jasmine, a postcolonial text that looks at the shifting identity politics through the immigration journey of Jyoti, a young girl from India.

The Kennesaw Journal of Undergraduate Research
The focus of my research centers on the contemporary work of Georgia-based artist, Kara Elizabeth Walker.

The three select works that I intend to analyze are Burn, a cut-paper silhouette on canvas created in 1998, The Invisible Beauty, a mixed media piece made in 2001, and Cut, a paper cut-out silhouette made in 1998.

The Extent Of Indigenous-Norse Contact And Trade Prior To Columbus, Donald E. Warden
The Extent Of Indigenous-Norse Contact And Trade Prior To Columbus, Donald E. Warden
Oglethorpe Journal of Undergraduate Research
Norse exploration during the medieval period was widespread and diverse in location. Of the many places visited by the Norse, North America has continued to be surrounded by mystery. The full extent of Norse exploration in North America is a growing field and the extent of their contact and trade with Indigenous Americans is becoming increasingly known. A thorough compilation of the evidence allows for significant, new conclusions to be made about Norse presence in the Americas.
