Exalting The Past: Nostalgia And The Construction Of Heritage In Children's Literature, Lily Kong, Lily Tay

Research Collection School of Social Sciences

In this paper, we analyse the portrayal of Singapore in local children's literature and seek to understand why such a portrayal was prominent, and to what effect. We argue that this literature is characterized by a nostalgic recollection of past times and places. This emergence of the past as an important concern in Singapore is not limited to the literary arena, but reflects a larger condition: a broader adult yearning to transcend the constrictions of present place and time. We suggest that this nostalgia has surfaced because of the phenomenal changes in Singapore, which have caused people to come face …

Giving Her A Voice: The Representation Of The Black Woman In Four Short Stories, Jennifer Sheeler

Theses & Honors Papers

Black women have had to work very hard to pull themselves up the social ladder. Literature reflects society, and the black female experience in the South is a part of American society which has not been overlooked by its literature. This thesis examines short stories by the similarities and tempered differences to develop a closer understanding of the true black female experience. The examination found that the gender and race of each author of the four short stories does not correspond to the amount of power each one gives to his or her black female character the way the reader …

Theorizing Black Community, Richard A. Jones

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 3rd Annual National Conference (1998)

“Since the passage of the Civil Rights Act (1965), black leaders (public intellectuals and philosophers) have proposed a wide array of models for the African American community. This paper examines the possibilities for theorizing legitimate, non (so-called) “pathological” African American communities.

“At Purdue University, We Have Recently Developed A Summer Research Institute With The Goal Of Establishing A New Paradigm For Advancing Minority Students Toward Graduate School And On To Careers In Research And Teaching.”, Walter A. Brown

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 3rd Annual National Conference (1998)

“Since the civil rights movement in the 1960’s, there has been substantial increase in the number of senior level African American Administrators at predominantly white institutions (PWIs). However, I argue that this is a partly false perception. There are more African American administrators, but they tend to be in positions that lack power and authority.”
