Adams It never ceases to amaze me just how emotional andcomplex the concept of "race" is to the people of the UnitedStates of America. As Ashley Montagu suggested almost 50 years ago, it ishumankind's most dangerous myth and, as W. E. B. Dubois predicted at the beginningof this century, the most serious question facing our society inthe 20th century. I am constantly reminded of this by my students' reactions whenever wediscuss this subject and by the comments made among adults Iwork with in the various private and public sector workshops and seminars Iconduct. Since almost everyone in these situations uses the social definition of race,which is a totally arbitrary concept, when I ask how many races there are,I usually get a range of responses, often stretchingfrom 3 to 250. On occasion I have even been told that every individual has his or her own race. Usually, afew individuals use the biological/genetic definition of race and correctlyrespond that there is only one race, homo sapiens. Athird definition of race, largely construed through the institutional/governmental use of the term, is by far the mostfamiliar and accepted interpretation. The social compromises most peoplein this country make to conform to this exercise in social identity arefascinating. On most institutional

  • Poet Sister Artist Comrade: in Celebration of Thulani Davis
    Poet Sister Artist Comrade: In Celebration of Thulani Davis Jessica Hagedorn: "It was a freaky-deaky time, in a freaky-deaky city..." By Jessica Hagedorn December 8, 2020 Thulani Davis has been my poet sister artist comrade for nearly 50 years. We met in San Francisco one night in either 1971 or 1972—young poets with flash and sass, opinionated and full of ourselves. We were reading at the Western Addition Cultural Center with several other poets, fiery types like Roberto Vargas, Serafin Syquia, Miz Redbone, maybe even Avotcja and Marvin X. Buriel Clay, a local writer and community activist, had organized the program and brought us all together. I was new at doing readings and didn’t know anyone there. I remember being nervous and excited. There wasn’t much of an audience, but being a part of this dynamic group felt like a very big deal. Dim lights. A podium, a mic, rickety folding chairs. Thulani was one of the last to read. The quiet, incantatory power of her voice and the bravado of her poem got me. I am Brown I am a child of the third world my hair black n long my soul slavetraded n nappy yellow brown-Safronia in this world, illegitimate seed… On her way out the door that night, Thulani made a cryptic comment about the tattered, patched-up jeans I had on. Whatever she said made me laugh. We became friends—hung out at her place on Oak Street, smoked Kools and Gitanes, and talked. Talk, talk, and more talk. We were curious and passionate about everything, from Jimi Hendrix to Anna May Wong to Jean- Luc Godard and Tennessee Williams.

    SITES OF INSTRUCTION: EDUCATION, KINSHIP AND NATION IN AFRICAN AMERICAN LITERATURE By SAMIRA ABDUR-RAHMAN A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in English Written under the direction of Cheryl Wall and approved by ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey October, 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION SITES OF INSTRUCTION: EDUCATION, KINSHIP AND NATION IN AFRICAN AMERICAN LITERATURE By SAMIRA ABDUR-RAHMAN Dissertation Director: Cheryl A. Wall “Sites of Instruction: Education, Kinship and Nation in African American Literature” explores education as a site of racial subjection and identity making in African American Literature and culture. Through close readings of selected narratives, I explore how writers use education to represent the navigation, and imagining, of the relationships between community, the individual and the nation. In chapter one, I explore Sutton Griggs and Frances Harper’s post-bellum narratives of education as attempts to recuperate both Southern landscapes and kinship through articulation of the black teacher as communal healer and sacrificial leader. Griggs and Harper represent scenes of instruction which engage with education as a negotiation between generations, occurring within intimate scenes of domesticity, and on larger public stages. In chapter two, I identify black teachers, and intellectuals, in flight as a symptomatic response to the constraints and contradictions of early twentieth century racial uplift ideology, with a focus on Nella Larsen’s Quicksand and Claude McKay’s Home to Harlem. In the face of anxieties about race purity, national borders and miscegenation, Larsen and McKay center characters whose immigrant and marginal status provide alternative insights, and perspectives, that critique and challenge conservative discourses of both citizenship and ii black instruction.

    BEFORE COLUMBUS FOUNDATION PRESENTS THE AMERICAN BOOK AWARDS 2004 America was intended to be a place where freedom from discrimination was the means by which equality was achieved. Today, American culture THE is the most diverse ever on the face of this earth. Recognizing literary excel- lence demands a panoramic perspective. A narrow view strictly to the mainstream ignores all the tributaries that feed it. American literature is AMERICAN not one tradition but all traditions. From those who have been here for thousands of years to the most recent immigrants, we are all contributing to American culture. We are all being translated into a new language. BOOK Everyone should know by now that Columbus did not “discover” America. Rather, we are all still discovering America—and we must continue to do AWARDS so. The Before Columbus Foundation was founded in 1976 as a nonprofit educational and service organization dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of contemporary American multicultural literature. The goals of BCF are to provide recognition and a wider audience for the wealth of cultural and ethnic diversity that constitutes American writing. BCF has always employed the term “multicultural” not as a description of an aspect of American literature, but as a definition of all American litera- ture. BCF believes that the ingredients of America’s so-called “melting pot” are not only distinct, but integral to the unique constitution of American Culture—the whole comprises the parts. In 1978, the Board of Directors of BCF (authors, editors, and publishers representing the multicultural diversity of American Literature) decided that one of its programs should be a book award that would, for the first time, respect and honor excellence in American literature without restric- tion or bias with regard to race, sex, creed, cultural origin, size of press or ad budget, or even genre.

  • Jessica Hagedorn and Ntozake Shange’S Feminist and Poetic (Re)Visions
    AFRO-FILIPINO ARCHIVES AND ARCHITECTURES: JESSICA HAGEDORN AND NTOZAKE SHANGE’S FEMINIST AND POETIC (RE)VISIONS A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in English By Jewel S. Pereyra, B.A. Washington, D.C. March 14, 2018 Copyright 2018 by Jewel S. Pereyra All Rights Reserved ii AFRO-FILIPINO ARCHIVES AND ARCHITECTURES: JESSICA HAGEDORN AND NTOZAKE SHANGE’S FEMINIST AND POETIC (RE)VISIONS Jewel S. Pereyra, B.A. Thesis Advisor: Samantha Pinto, Ph.D. ABSTRACT During the 1970s Third World Liberation and Black Arts movements, Black and Asian American writers created transnational and artistic alliances. In particular, Filipino artist Jessica Hagedorn and Black feminist writer Ntozake Shange traveled and performed at readings together in San Francisco and New York. With poet Thulani Davis, they formed a trio called “The Satin Sisters” and co-authored plays and poems together. Hagedorn and Shange embodied the Third Worldist visions for Afro-Asian racial and feminist unity. However, current Afro-Asian scholarship seldom analyzes Filipino and African American feminist solidarities and privileges masculinist Afro-(East)Asian nationalisms. I recover these gaps by mining through the silenced archives—both print and expressive cultures—that reveal "Afro-Filipino” women’s exchanges. I argue that Hagedorn and Shange’s unique collaborations created felt architectures, sensorial spaces that center female intimacies and resistance through sound, touch, sight, and dance. Mapping these felt spaces, that resist patriarchal and colonial domination, this thesis first examines 1970s Third World anthologies, Hagedorn’s Dangerous Music (1975), and Shange’s Nappy Edges (1978).
