But for this evening, Professor Lloyd turned instead to the idea of time travel, discussing a new theory that he and his colleagues have con- ceived and even tested at the elementary particle level using photons. Having reviewed many narratives in folklore, literature, and film, he contended that most time travel stories fall into two categories. In the first, people travel back in time, change something in the past, and return to a reality that has been altered by their actions; in the second, when people go back in time, what happens there is consis- tent with the future and nothing is changed. Professor Lloyd’s theory, he said, falls into the latter category. And in order to explain the idea without advanced mathe- matical calculations, he related it to the famous “grandfather paradox,” in which a woman travels back in time and accidently Using the laws of physics to think about problems—like how Time Travel Potential kills her grandfather before he has met to escape from a black hole or her grandmother, thereby preventing her travel through time—is pure “What if you had a time machine?” asked own birth.

Geoffrey Grec/C Ph.D. Professor of English Sarita Cannon, Ph.D. Associate Professor of English ALTERNATIVE PERSPECTIVES OF AFRICAN AMERICAN CULTURE AND REPRESENTATION IN THE WORKS OF ISHMAEL REED Jason Andrew JackI San Francisco, California 2018 This thesis demonstrates the ways in which Ishmael Reed proposes incisive countemarratives to the hegemonic master narratives that perpetuate degrading misportrayals of Afro American culture in the historical record and mainstream news and entertainment media of the United States. Many critics and readers have responded reductively to Reed’s work by hastily dismissing his proposals, thereby disallowing thoughtful critical engagement with Reed’s views as put forth in his fiction and non­ fiction writing. The study that follows asserts that Reed’s corpus deserves more thoughtful critical and public recognition than it has received thus far. To that end, I argue that a critical re-exploration of his fiction and non-fiction writing would yield profound contributions to the ongoing national dialogue on race relations in America.
