The essential bibliographic data for each of the books is noted excluding publishing date and price. The list consists of documents in print at the time of compilation. The first chapter suggests books that would constitate a valuable reference nucleus for any senior or junior high school library. Chapter 2 includes collections of sources and volumes of readings. The next 15 chapters are annotated entries with the titles grouped around chronological-topical headings. Each book has been classified as to the nature of content (source material, non-fiction, biography, or fiction), reading level (adult, adolescent, slow reader) , type of binding, are listed alphabetically by author, and are numbered consecutively.

The good teacher seeks the best for her class. How, in an already overcrowded day, can she hope to survey this vast quantity, let alone evaluate their usefulness? She must rely upon the judgment and evaluation of others to guide her. To assist the classroom teacher in her efforts to evaluate and to select those books most appropriate to supplement the program in American history, this publication has been prepared. It is our hope that this will prove a helpful aid in ;er planning and daily efforts and a worthy companion piece to the World Civilization Booklist. The National Council for the Social Studies is indebted to Drs. Ralph and Marian Brown for their guidance of this publication as well as to the individuals and organizations noted in the Introduction. Ronald 0.

It is the professional organization of teachers of social studies. It holds a series of meetings each year and publishes materials of significance to those interested in this field. Membe:ship in the National Council carries with it a subscription of the Council's official journal, Social Education, the monthly magazine for social studies teachers, and the Yearbook. In addition, the Council publishes bulletins, pamphlets, and other materials of practical use for teachers of the social studies. Membership dues are $12 a year. Applications for membership and orders for the purchase of publications should be made to the Executive Secretary, 1201 Sixteenth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036. vi INTRODUCTION The increasing popularity, based upon its usefulness to the classroom teacher and the school librarian, of the National Council for the Social Studies' World History Book List for High Schools, prepared by Dr. Alice Spieseke and her committee, and first published in 1959, (and recently revised as the World Civilization Book list) has indicated r. potential demand for a comparable book list in the field of American history. The Need for This List The busy high school teacher too often finds it impossible to keep abreast of the steady flow of printed materials that may be used to supplement, or in somecases even to replace, the textbook. There are adult books and children's book:, scholarly books and popular books, original editions and reprints, hard covers and paperbacks. Thereare reference books, bibliographical tools, novels, and monographs. Some of these books get listedor reviewed in such a publication as Social Education; more of them do notthere simply is notspace to allow adequate coverage. Equally confusing is the matter of availability. Some booksgo out of print soon after their original publication. Sometimes they are later reprinted, by thesame or even by a different publisher,, and again become available. Even the publisher ofa particular book may change, as the rights to publication may be transferred or sold. It is the hope of the five people who have worked on this reading list, and of the professional organization that sponsors it, that this selectionfor it is, ofcourse, only a selection and not a complete listwill be valuable and useful to the classroom teacher andto the school librarian. The Compiling of This List The editors of this list, benefiting to some degree by the experience of Dr. Spieseke's committee, first planned the major divisions, as listed below. They then secured the assistance t)f Martin L. Fausold, professor of American history and chairman of the social science division at the State University College at Geneseo, New York; Ellis A. Johnson, professor of American history at the State University College at Cortland, New York; and William G. Tyrrell, Historian in the Division of Archives and History, State Education Department, Albany, New York. Publishers were then contacted, informed about the forthcoming reading list, told of the responsibilities of the various persons involved, and invited to send books and information for the consideration of the contributors. The American Book Publishers' Councilgave invaluable assistance in this connection. The basic format and arrangement were established by the editors in consultation with the Publications Committee of the National Council for the Social Studies. The compiler of each chapter, however, made his or her own decision about inclusion and evaluation. vii viii / Introduction Periods and Topics Included Chapter No. Title of Section Compiler of Section I A Reference Collection for tin School Marian R.

  • Piracy, Illicit Trade, and the Construction of Commercial
    Navigating the Atlantic World: Piracy, Illicit Trade, and the Construction of Commercial Networks, 1650-1791 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University by Jamie LeAnne Goodall, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2016 Dissertation Committee: Margaret Newell, Advisor John Brooke David Staley Copyright by Jamie LeAnne Goodall 2016 Abstract This dissertation seeks to move pirates and their economic relationships from the social and legal margins of the Atlantic world to the center of it and integrate them into the broader history of early modern colonization and commerce. In doing so, I examine piracy and illicit activities such as smuggling and shipwrecking through a new lens. They act as a form of economic engagement that could not only be used by empires and colonies as tools of competitive international trade, but also as activities that served to fuel the developing Caribbean-Atlantic economy, in many ways allowing the plantation economy of several Caribbean-Atlantic islands to flourish. Ultimately, in places like Jamaica and Barbados, the success of the plantation economy would eventually displace the opportunistic market of piracy and related activities. Plantations rarely eradicated these economies of opportunity, though, as these islands still served as important commercial hubs: ports loaded, unloaded, and repaired ships, taverns attracted a variety of visitors, and shipwrecking became a regulated form of employment. In places like Tortuga and the Bahamas where agricultural production was not as successful, illicit activities managed to maintain a foothold much longer.

  • Kate Bornstein: a Transgender Transsexual Postm Odern Tiresias
    Kate Bornstein: A Transgender Transsexual Postm odern Tiresias From Shannon Bell Gender School "Sex is fucking, everything else is gender" Kate told us on the first day of gender school: a four part, sixteen hour Cross-Gendered Perform ance Workshop which was part of Buddies in Bad Tim es Theatre sum m er school program . Kate is a Buddhist M-to-F transsexual perform ance artist and gender educator. Kate has been both m ale and fem ale and now is not one nor the other, but both-and-neither, as indicated in the title of her play The Opposite Sex...is Neither! The Cross-Gender W orkshop aim ed at deconstructing gender: shedding gender, trying on a new gender; getting to zero point and then construct ing a new gender. The first section of the workshop dealt with gender theory and learning how to build gender cues: physical cues - body, posture, hair, clothing, voice, skin, m ovem ent, space, weight; behavioral cues - m anners, decorum , protocol, deportm ent; textual cues - stories, histories, associates, relationships; power dynam ics - top, bottom , entitlem ent/ not; and sexual orientation (to whom am I attracted). This w as preparation for constructing a character which we would work on perform ing for the following three sessions. At the final class we did a one hour Zen walk across the theatre stage. For the first half-hour of the walk we shed all our acquired gender characteristics; for t he second half we took on our character's gender traits. The only constraint on selecting a character was that it be som e version of the opposite gender.

Hunter Hayes Dean of the College: Salvatore Attardo Interim Dean of Graduate Studies: Mary Beth Sampson iii Copyright © 2017 Michael G. Baker iv ABSTRACT COSTUME CULTURE: VISUAL RHETORIC, ICONOGRAPHY, AND TOKENISM IN COMIC BOOKS Michael G. Baker, PhD Texas A&M University-Commerce, 2017 Advisor: Christopher Gonzalez, PhD Superhero comic books provide a unique perspective on marginalized characters not only as objects of literary study, but also as opportunities for rhetorical analysis. There are representations of race, gender, sexuality, and identity in the costuming of superheroes that impact how the audience perceives the characters. Because of the association between iconography and identity, the superhero costume becomes linked with the superhero persona (for example the Superman “S” logo is a stand-in for the character). However, when iconography is affected by issues of tokenism, the rhetorical message associated with the symbol becomes more difficult to decode. Since comic books are sales-oriented and have a plethora of tie-in merchandise, the iconography in these symbols has commodified implications for those who choose to interact with them. When consumers costume themselves with the visual rhetoric associated with comic superheroes, the wearers engage in a rhetorical discussion where they perpetuate whatever message the audience places on that image.

  • New Queer Cinema, a 25-Film Series Commemorating the 20Th Anniversary of the Watershed Year for New Queer Cinema, Oct 9 & 11—16
    BAMcinématek presents Born in Flames: New Queer Cinema, a 25-film series commemorating the 20th anniversary of the watershed year for New Queer Cinema, Oct 9 & 11—16 The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor for BAMcinématek and BAM Rose Cinemas. Brooklyn, NY/Sep 14, 2012—From Tuesday, October 9 through Tuesday, October 16, BAMcinématek presents Born in Flames: New Queer Cinema, a series commemorating the 20th anniversary of the term ―New Queer Cinema‖ and coinciding with LGBT History Month. A loosely defined subset of the independent film zeitgeist of the early 1990s, New Queer Cinema saw a number of openly gay artists break out with films that vented anger over homophobic policies of the Reagan and Thatcher governments and the grim realities of the AIDS epidemic with aesthetically and politically radical images of gay life. This primer of new queer classics includes more than two dozen LGBT-themed features and short films, including important early works by directors Todd Haynes, Gus Van Sant, and Gregg Araki, and experimental filmmakers Peggy Ahwesh, Luther Price, and Isaac Julien. New Queer Cinema was first named and defined 20 years ago in a brief but influential article in Sight & Sound by critic B. Ruby Rich, who noted a confluence of gay-oriented films among the most acclaimed entries in the Sundance, Toronto, and New Directors/New Films festivals of 1991 and 1992. Rich called it ―Homo Pomo,‖ a self-aware style defined by ―appropriation and pastiche, irony, as well as a reworking of history with social constructionism very much in mind . irreverent, energetic, alternately minimalist and excessive.‖ The most prominent of the films Rich catalogued were Tom Kalin’s Leopold and Loeb story Swoon (the subject of a 20th anniversary BAMcinématek tribute on September 13) and Haynes’ Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner Poison (1991—Oct 12), an unpolished but complex triptych of unrelated, stylistically diverse, Jean Genet-inspired stories.

  • Killing in the Name of Struggle: Amiri Baraka's Revolutionary Theatre
    KILLING IN THE NAME OF STRUGGLE: AMIRI BARAKA’S REVOLUTIONARY THEATRE DOUGLAS KERN PhD THE UNIVERSITY OF YORK DEPARTMENT OF THEATRE, FILM AND TELEVISION JANUARY 2014 ABSTRACT This study explores representations of murder, killing, and death in the revolutionary drama of Amiri Baraka. After a brief Introduction, Chapter 1 serves as an introduction to Baraka’s birth as an activist and provides background regarding the U.S. racial climate in the 1960s as it relates to his activism. Moreover, it presents Baraka’s Black Arts Repertory Theatre School and how it helped establish the Black Arts Movement. Chapter 2 provides a detailed study of Dutchman, Baraka’s first success, to initiate an analysis of killing and murder within his plays. In addition, it examines The Slave and Slave Ship, which present revolutionary models whereby Black Power is sought, and in the case of Slave Ship achieved through the killing of whites. Chapter 3 offers a detailed look at Baraka’s move towards Third World Marxism. After categorically denouncing Nationalism, Baraka’s public embrace of Marxism in 1974 isolated him from the Black theatre he had helped establish. Case studies examine representations of Capitalist killers in What Was the Relationship of the Lone Ranger to the Means of Production? and Song. Chapter 4 begins with a brief introduction to Baraka’s activism in the early 1990s, along with details of his son’s tragic shooting, and culminates with in-depth analyses of Jack Pot Melting: A Commercial, The Election Machine Warehouse, and General Hag’s Skeezag, all published in the ‘90s and performed together for the Nuyorican Poets Café Theater in 1996.
