    CAUTION: ZIONISM! Essays on the Ideology, Organisation and Practice of Zionism Yuri Ivanov Moscow Progress Publishers 1970 Contents Preface I Myth and Reality II "A Time to Cast Stones and a Time to Gather Stones Together" III Roofless Labyrinth IV Crossroads V Caution: Zionism! To fellow countrymen and foreign comrades whose kind advice has been of such help. Yuri Ivanov Preface Gone are the days when the enemies of the young Soviet republic fervently awaited the collapse of the world's first workers' and peasants' state. The Land of Soviets proved its viability in the face of armed intervention and its magnificent performance in the life- and-death struggle against the nazi hordes already belongs to history. Gone, indeed, are many of the illusions harboured by the enemies of communism, but not their hatred and their intention to continue the struggle with all the means that remain at their disposal. Lenin held that it was the fundamental duty of the Soviet press to make a concrete analysis of the forces acting against communism, however secondary they might appear at first glance. This book makes a study of modern Zionism, one of the most tenacious, though veiled varieties of anti-communism. Meir Vilner, Secretary of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Israel, wrote in a letter to Soviet journalists in January 1968: "Zionism is, alas, a 'forgotten' question but nonetheless a most actual one. ." How right he is! For a long time many champions of Zionism were sparing no efforts to make Zionism appear nothing more than an obsolete term.

    PHOTOACTIVISM: POLITICAL ICONOGRAPHY IN FRANCE, 1944-1968 Nir Avissar Tel Aviv, Israel Master of Arts, Tel Aviv University, 2008 Bachelor of Arts. Tel Aviv University, 2005 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia July, 2016 © 2016 Nir Avissar Abstract The aim of this dissertation is to provide a critical history of French reportage photography in the decades following the Second World War, beginning with the Liberation in 1944 and ending in May ’68. During the Trente Glorieuses, reportage photography became an integral part of the media, which operated as the central platform for engaging the public in political discourse. My research explores how, during this era of mass communication, the photographic medium participated in the nation’s political life in concrete historical circumstances. In the course of this investigation, I inspect both the material, thematic, and formal strategies photographers employed to produce images in different political contexts, and the publication history of their works (who published their images, in what format, and for what purposes). The dissertation thus examines the role reportage photography played in promoting political discourse in France by visually engaging the most critical historical processes the nation was undergoing: modernization, democratization, and decolonization. At the same time, it also analyzes the reciprocal impact that changing political climate had on reportage photography. Specifically, it provides an historical account of the multiple causes that effected during the 1960s the displacement of humanist photography by photojournalism as the medium’s prominent current.

WORKING THE MARGINS: WOMEN IN THE COMIC BOOK INDUSTRY by WESLEY CHENAULT Under the Direction of Marian Meyers ABSTRACT Women have been involved in the writing, illustrating, and production of comic books at almost every step of the genre’s development. The years between the late 1960s and the late 1990s were tumultuous for the comic book industry. At the societal level, these years were saturated with changes that challenged normative ideas of sex roles and gender. The goal of this study is two-fold: it documents the specific contributions to the comic book industry made by the women interviewed, and it addresses research questions that focus on gender, change, and comic books.

  • An Overview of African-American Feminism
    J. Basic. Appl. Sci. Res., 1(11)2462-2467, 2011 ISSN 2090-4304 Journal of Basic and Applied © 2011, TextRoad Publication Scientific Research www.textroad.com An Overview of African-American Feminism Hamedreza Kohzadi 1 , Fatemeh Azizmohammadi 2 1,2 Department of English Literature, Arak Branch, Islamic Azad University, Arak, Iran E-mails: 1hamedreza_ [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT Today the body of African American feminist scholarship is vast and located in the social sciences, humanities, and sciences. The terms African American feminism, Black feminism, and womanism all challenge traditional bodies of knowledge, which tend to perceive Black women superficially and in a limited manner. African American feminism - that is, the Black feminist tradition in the U.S, is widely discussed in women's studies classrooms and feminist literature, but it has yet to make significant inroads into popular culture or mass media, even in the one- dimensional manner in which feminism and race are handled. One of the major contributions black feminists have made to feminist theory is to provide the historical and cultural analysis that weaves the various forms of oppression into a coherent theory for action. As racism is not just an issue for African-Americans, feminism is not just a woman's issue. Black feminist theory is not about reforms of the present system that will benefit only the few who can fight their way to the top over the bodies of others, but about the creation of a system that allows full participation by all. Feminism, in all of its diversity, can enlighten, enlarge and empower everyone.
