Has America a Race Problem; If so, How can it best be Solved ? 149 The Negro as presented in American Literature 175 What Are We Worth ? 228 The Gain from a Belief . 286 ; OUH ^fllSOJSt D'ETRE. N the clash and clatter of our American Con- flict, it has been said that the South remains Silent. Like the Sphinx she inspires vocifer- ous disputation, but herself takes little part in the noisy controversy. One muffled strain in the Silent South, a jarring chord and a vague and uncomprehended cadenza has been and still is the Negro. And of that muffled chord, the one mute and voiceless note has been the sadly expectant Black Woman, An infant crying in the night, An infant crying for the light And with no language—but a cry. The colored man's inheritance and apportion- ment is still the sombre crux, the perplexing cut de sac of the nation,—the dumb skeleton in the closet provoking ceaseless harangues, indeed, but little understood and|Seldom con- sulted. Attorneys for the plaintiff: and attor- IT neys for the defendant, with bungling gaucherie have analyzed and dissected, theorized and synthesized with sublime ignorance or pathetic misapprehension of counsel from the black client. One important witness has not yet been heard from. The summing up of the evidence deposed, and the charge to the jury have been made—but no word from the Black Woman. It is because I believe the American people to be conscientiously committed to a fair trial and ungarbled evidence, and because I feel it essential to a perfect understanding and an equitable verdict that truth from each stand- point be presented at the bar,—that this little Voice has been added to the already full chorus. The " other side" has not been represented by one who " lives there." And not many can more sensibly realize and more accurately tell the weight and the fret of the " long dull pain " than the open-eyed but hitherto voice- less Black Woman of America. The feverish agitation, the nerfervid energy, the busy objectivity of the more turbulent life of our men serves, it may be, at once to — Ill- cloud or color their vision somewhat, and as well to relieve the smart and deaden the pain for them. Their voice is in consequence not always temperate and calm, and at the same time radically corrective and sanatory. At any rate, as our Caucasian barristers are not to blame if they cannot quite put themselves in the dark man's place, neither should the dark man be wholly expected fully and adequately to reproduce the exact Voice of the Black Woman. Delicately sensitive at every pore to social atmospheric conditions, her calorimeter may well be studied in the interest of accuracy and fairness ill diagnosing what is often con- ceded to be a " puzzling " case. If these broken utterances can in any way help to a clearer vision and a truer pulse-beat in study- ing our Nation's Problem, this Voice by a Black Woman of the South will not have been raised in vain. Tawawa Chimney Corner; Sept. 17, 1892, ; SOPHfl^O OBLilGRTO, For they the Royal-hearted Women are Who nobly love the noblest, yet have grace For needy, suffering lives in lowliest place Carrying a choicer sunlight in their smile, The heavenliest ray that pitieth the vile. >fC >f. 5f. Though I were happy, throned beside the king, I should be tender to each little thing With hurt warm breast, that had no speech to tell Its inward pangs ; and I would sooth it well With tender touch and with a low, soft moan For company. —George Eliot. * WOMANHOOD A VITAL ELEMENT IN THE REGENERATION AND PROGRESS OF A RACE. HE two sources from which, perhaps, modern civilization has derived its noble and ennobling ideal of woman are Christianity and the Feudal System. In Oriental countries woman has been uni- formly devoted to a life of ignorance, infamy, and complete stagnation. The Chinese shoe of to-day does not more entirely dwarf, cramp, and destroy her physical powers, than have the customs, laws, and social instincts, which from remotest ages have governed our Sister of the East, enervated and blighted her men- tal and moral life. Mahomet makes no account of woman whatever in his polity. The Koran, which, unlike our Bible, was a product and not a •Read before the convocation of colored clergy of the Protestant Epis- copal Church at Washington, D. C, 1886. 10 A VOICE FROM growth, tried to address itself to the needs of Arabian civilization as Mahomet with his cir- cumscribed powr ers saw them. The Arab was a nomad. Home to him meant his present camping place. That deity who, according to our western ideals, makes and sanctifies the home, was to him a transient bauble to be toyed with so long as it gave pleasure and then to be thrown aside for a new one. As a personality, an individual soul, capable of eternal growth and unlimited development, and destined to mould and shape the civiliza- tion of the future to an incalculable extent, Mahomet did not know woman. There was no hereafter, no paradise for her. The heav- en of the Mussulman is peopled and made gladsome not by the departed wife, or sister, or mother, but by houri—a figment of Ma- homet's brain, partaking of the ethereal qual- ities of angels, yet imbued with all the vices and inanity of Oriental women. The harem here, and—" dust to dust " hereafter, this was the hope, the inspiration, the summum bonum of the Eastern woman's life ! With what re- sult on the life of the nation, the "Unspeaka- ble Turk," the "sick man" of modern Europe can to-day exemplify. Says a certain writer : "The private life of THE SOUTH. 11 the Turk is vilest of the vile, unprogressive, unambitious, and inconceivably low." And yet Turkey is not without her great men. She has produced most brilliant minds ; men skilled in all the intricacies of diplomacy and statesmanship; men whose intellects could grapple with the deep problems of empire and manipulate the subtle agencies which check-mate kings. But these minds were not the normal outgrowth of a healthy trunk. They seemed rather ephemeral excrescencies which shoot far out with all the vigor and promise, apparently, of strong branches; but soon alas fall into decay and ugliness because there is no soundness in the root, no life-giv- ing sap, permeating, strengthening and per- petuating the whole. There is a worm at the core ! The homelife is impure ! and when we look for fruit, like apples of Sodom, it crum- bles within our grasp into dust and ashes. It is pleasing to turn from this effete and immobile civilization to a society still fresh and vigorous, whose seed is in itself, and whose very name is synonymous with all that is progressive, elevating and inspiring, viz., the European bud and the American flower of modern civilization. And here let me say parenthetically that 12 A VOICE FROM our satisfaction in American institutions rests not on the fruition we now enjoy, but springs rather from the possibilities and promise that are inherent in the system, though as yet, perhaps, far in the future. " Happiness," says Madame de Stael, "con- sists not in perfections attained, but in a sense of progress, the result of our own endeavor under conspiring circumstances toward a goal which continually advances and broadens and deepens till it is swallowed up in the Infinite." Such conditions in embryo are all that we claim for the land of the West. We have not yet reached our ideal in American civilization. The pessimists even declare that we are not marching in that direction. But there can be no doubt that here in America is the arena in which the next triumph of civilization is to be won ; and here too we find promise abundant and possibilities infinite. Now let us see on what basis this hope for our country primarily and fundamentally rests. Can any one doubt that it is chiefly on the homelife and on the influence of good women in those homes? Says Macanlay: "You may judge a nation's rank in the scale of civilization from the way they treat their women." And Emerson, "I have thought THE SOUTH.

  • Varieties of Boundary Crossings
    Varieties of Boundary Crossings V. V. Raman1 Introduction Boundary-crossings are valuable in many ways. Sometimes they may even be essential for survival. In the complex world in which we live boundary crossings occur in a variety of contexts: Among the sciences, among religions, between science and religion, among cultures, within cultures, and so on. Normally every of us, whether professionally or individually, functions within circumscribed boundaries. Most of our thoughts, actions and behavior are within some boundaries. This is necessary for efficiency, personal security and self-confidence. It is also constrained by our capacities and resources. However, there arise situations when we have to go beyond the boundaries: for enrichment, understanding, and peace. In this lecture, I propose to explore the variety of contexts in which boundary crossings occur, as well as their impacts, some beneficial and others not so. I will also indulge in some linguistic boundary crossing as I discuss the subject. Boundary Crossings in Different Spheres David Hilbert famously said that mathematics knows no race or geographical boundary [Die Mathematik kennt keine Rassen oder geographische Grenzen]. This is true of love and music also. But this is not the case in many other contexts. we need bridges not just between scientists and literati, but between physicists and biologists, cosmologists and theologians, theoreticians and common citizens, moral philosophers and soldiers in the battle-field, social reformers and traditionalists, evolutionists and creationists, cultural anthropologists and practitioners of the cultures studied, even between cartoonists and ardent religionists who demand everyone in the world to be subject to the laws of blasphemy of their own religion.

Signed: ……………………………………………. 3 Acknowledgements This thesis could not have been written without the generosity of many individuals who were kind enough to share their knowledge and theatre experience with me. I have spoken with actors, musical directors, set designers, directors, singers, choreographers and actor-musicians and their names and testaments exist within the thesis. I should like to thank Emily Parsons the archivist for the Liverpool Everyman for all her help with my endless requests. I also want to thank Jonathan Petherbridge at the London Bubble for making the archive available to me. A further thank you to Rosamond Castle for all her help. On a sadder note a posthumous thank you to the director Robert Hamlin. He responded to my email request for the information with warmth, humour and above all, great enthusiasm for the project. Also a posthumous thank you to the actor, Robert Demeger who was so very generous with the information regarding the production of Ninagawa’s Hamlet in which he played Polonius. Finally, a big thank you to John Ginman for all his help, patience and advice. 4 The Development of the Role of the Actor-Musician in Britain by British Directors During the Period 1960 to 2000.

  • Swans (US) Till Debaser Slussen 25/11
    2012-09-07 13:31 CEST Swans (US) till Debaser Slussen 25/11 Debaser och Luger presenterar Swans på Debaser Slussen! 1982 grundade Michael Gira det nyskapande New York-bandet Swans som kom att utvecklas till ett av de mest infytelserika post-punk/no-wave banden någonsin. I år firar Swans 30 år! Aktuella med det tokhyllade albumet "The Seer" kommer de nu till Debaser. Swans blev snabbt ökända för deras smärtsamma, brutala, extremt högljudda och repetitiva ljudväggar tillsammans med Michael Giras eländiga skrik och growlande. Under 15 år utvecklades sedan Swans mycket spretigt mot både en mekanisk industrirock till en något mer diskret och mjuk akustisk rock för att på sitt sista album ”Soundtracks For The Blind” (1997) anamma alla de olika element man använt sig av tidigare. ”Soundtracks For The Blind” blev en slags avslutning då Gira bestämt sig för att lägga ner bandet efter 15 år av frenetisk produktivitet och turnéerande. Sedan dess har Gira gjort musik under namnet Angels of Light samt producerat och gett ut musik genom sin label Young God Records. Under sina vingar har han tagit fantastiska musiker som Devendra Banhart, Lisa Germano, Akron/Family, Larkin Grimm och James Blackshaw. I augusti i år släppte de "The Seer" via Young God Records. En platta där inte bara hela original-lineupen är med utan även gäster som Karen O., Akron/Family och Low. Resultatet blev; "En fullpackad, klaustrofobisk, manglande och suggestiv best till skiva som ännu en gång bevisar Swans storhet" för att citera GAFFA. Och hyllningarna radar upp sig: 4/5 i The Guardian, 9/10 av Pitchfork, 4/5 i The Independent.
