That medicine, BiDil®, was a heart failure medication that set a precedent for being the first approved race based drug for African Americans. Though BiDil®, was the first race specific medicine, racialized bodies have been used all throughout history to advance medical knowledge. The framework for race, history, and racialized drugs was so multi- tiered; it could not be conceptualized from a single perspective. For this reason, this study examines racialized medicine through performance, history, and discourse analysis. The focus of this work aimed to inform and build on a new foundation for social inquiry—using a history film performance to elevate knowledge about race based medicines. Equally important, this work adds significantly to the scholarship on filmmaking and argues that film performance can be utilized as both a theoretical and methodological tool. Written, produced, and directed for this study, The Colored Pill history film performance centers on concepts of monstrosity, Othering, and race specific drugs. In addition, the concept of discourse analysis was significant in analyzing the words, phrases, and sentences of eight African American focus groups that screened the 70- minute film performance. Utilizing audio recorded transcripts to analyze the production of knowledge about drugs with race specific indications; data was collected from focus group interviews and questionnaires. Deductive coding, based on William James ii McGuire’s (1985) model for sequential, information-processing, was used to analyze the data. As a result, pre-established themes of exposure, attention, comprehension, and acceptance aka yielding were utilized, because they best pointed to the advancement of knowledge. The findings underscore the potential of film performance to help overcome knowledge gaps. Focus group participants indicate history film performance, The Colored Pill, had a significant effect on the advancement of knowledge on racialized medicines. Keywords: race, medicine, African Americans, qualitative, interview, BiDil, film performance iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The last chapter in this study is called, Giving Up The Ghost. And that, I have done, though I have also kept the faith. Humbly I acknowledge that without God, this study would never have been possible. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for your goodness and mercy that follow me all the days of my life! This research, and subsequent film, has been several years in the making. The work has been long and taxing, but I devoted myself to finishing. Though the typography has been nothing short of mountainous, wrought with many unexpected twists and turns, it has also been rewarding. What a surprise it has been that this opportunity would grow my faith. I never would have made it without holding on to you, Lord. To Brian, Elijah, and Bianca—thank you! I am so grateful you were there. You guys contributed greatly to my sense of sanity in the un-rosiest of circumstances. To Brian, my beautiful rock, thank you for supporting and cheering me on throughout this entire process. I know you delayed your own personal plans to instead stay by my side during the most difficult part of this process, all while feeding me the most delicious pot roasts and spaghetti dinners known to man. I will never forget your sacrifice. To Elijah and Bianca, you never knew this but your simple encouragements, “You got this, Granny!” came at perfect times when I was feeling low. What a blessing you both are! Please refer to Appendix H for complete acknowledgements. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter One.

Lovecraft in an attempt to understand his work by viewing it through the filter of his life. The approach is thus historical-biographical in nature, based in historical context and drawing on the entirety of Lovecraft’s non-fiction production in addition to his weird fiction, with the aim being to suggest some correctives to certain prevailing critical views on Lovecraft. These views include the “cosmic school” led by Joshi, the “racist school” inaugurated by Houellebecq, and the “pulp school” that tends to be dismissive of Lovecraft’s work on stylistic grounds, these being the most prevalent depictions of Lovecraft currently.

In the realm of mass-market romance novels, a boom- ing industry, the sheikh-hero of any standard desert romance is but one of the many possible alpha-male heroes, and while he is certainly not the most popular alpha-male hero in the contemporary market, he maintains a niche and even has a couple of blogs and an informative Web site devoted especially to him.3 Given popular perceptions of the Middle East as a threatening and oppressive place for women, it is perhaps not surprising that the heroine in a popular desert romance, Burning Love, characterizes her sheikh thusly: “Sharif was an Arab.

Based upon our firm belief that our greatest asset as a foundation is our network of grantees, we wanted to link together the many different organizations whose work we are now supporting as part of a broad collective to remove the racial barriers that limit opportunities for vulnerable children. Our intention is to ensure that our grantees and the broader community can connect with peers, expand their perceptions about possibilities for their work and deepen their understanding of key strategies and tactics in support of those efforts. In 2011, we worked to build this community We believe in a different path forward.
