  • Rhythm, Dance, and Resistance in the New Orleans Second Line
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles “We Made It Through That Water”: Rhythm, Dance, and Resistance in the New Orleans Second Line A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology by Benjamin Grant Doleac 2018 © Copyright by Benjamin Grant Doleac 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION “We Made It Through That Water”: Rhythm, Dance, and Resistance in the New Orleans Second Line by Benjamin Grant Doleac Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology University of California, Los Angeles, 2018 Professor Cheryl L. Keyes, Chair The black brass band parade known as the second line has been a staple of New Orleans culture for nearly 150 years. Through more than a century of social, political and demographic upheaval, the second line has persisted as an institution in the city’s black community, with its swinging march beats and emphasis on collective improvisation eventually giving rise to jazz, funk, and a multitude of other popular genres both locally and around the world. More than any other local custom, the second line served as a crucible in which the participatory, syncretic character of black music in New Orleans took shape. While the beat of the second line reverberates far beyond the city limits today, the neighborhoods that provide the parade’s sustenance face grave challenges to their existence. Ten years after Hurricane Katrina tore up the economic and cultural fabric of New Orleans, these largely poor communities are plagued on one side by underfunded schools and internecine violence, and on the other by the rising tide of post-disaster gentrification and the redlining-in- disguise of neoliberal urban policy.

  • Wahlstrom on Trial
    T h E H appy ScuibE H anukkah University of Bridgeport Vol. 3, No. 10 December 1,1983 2 5 cents Wahlstrom on Trial by Donna Ditchkus Professor Justus vein der Kroef, chairman of the political science department, said he feels UB isn’t spending enough money on new library books. “Fair- field University,” he said, “has fewer students and is spending more overall on available information than we are in terms of total number of students . We are not maintaining a rate of purchase in proportion to students. “We must also define what kind of university we are going to be, and put that emphasis on the library plan­ ning,” he said. He also said that not enough is being of­ fered now in the way of book sources, periodicals and other necessary information. He also said, funds must still be available for programs that are only supportive and not primary. In order to have a long-range plan, he said, a decision must be made as to what type of information will have a primary emphasis on certain professional colleges or only a sup­ portive and minimal emphasis. But we must first deter­ mine what the long-range plan will emphasize regarding the future of the university. “We must develop a library in light of the long-range plan . If we are to keep on a number of basic pro­ grams in the humanities department—for example, the Capstone program or Psychology—then we need to maintain journals and books on the subject,” he said. According to van der Kroef, we were behind three years ago, and again two years ago.
