  • Review Essay Ken Burns and Lynn Novick's the Vietnam
    Review Essay Ken Burns and Lynn Novick’s The Vietnam War MARK PHILIP BRADLEY True confessions: I did not go into the eighteen hours of Ken Burns and Lynn Novick’s The Vietnam War with a totally open mind.1 Burns’s 1990 documentary series The Civil War, which made his career, had evoked a storm of controversy, with such leading his- torians as Leon Litwack and Eric Foner offering scathing critiques of how the film depicted African Americans as passive victims and entirely ignored the ways in which the postwar era of Reconstruction became an exercise in white supremacy. As Foner wrote, “Faced with a choice between historical illumination or nostalgia, Burns consis- tently opts for nostalgia.”2 Subsequent documentaries on jazz and World War II always struck me, and in fact many critics, as deliberately skirting potentially subversive counter-narratives in a kind of burnishing of the past.3 And to be quite honest, all of them seemed too long. In the case of Burns and Novick’s earlier series The War (2007) and its fifteen-hour embrace of the greatest generation narrative, Burns’s insular docu- mentary painted World War II as an entirely American affair, with non-white and non- American voices largely to the side. The much-heralded “Ken Burns effect” had never worked its magic on me. When I began to hear the tagline for The Vietnam War in the drumbeat of publicity before it was first aired on PBS last September (you will have to conjure up the melan- choly Peter Coyote voiceover as you read)—“It was begun in good faith by decent peo- ple out of fateful misunderstandings, American overconfidence, and Cold War mis- calculations”—I anticipated a painful eighteen hours.

Since the war was waged in the TV era, the filmmakers rely less exclusively on the trademark “Ken Burns effect” pans over still images. Since Vietnam was the “living-room war,” played out on the nightly news, this documentary doesn’t show us the fighting with new eyes, the way “The War” did with its unearthed archival World War II footage.

  • Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage
    Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Aaron Joseph Johnson All rights reserved ABSTRACT Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson This dissertation is a study of jazz on American radio. The dissertation's meta-subjects are mediation, classification, and patronage in the presentation of music via distribution channels capable of reaching widespread audiences. The dissertation also addresses questions of race in the representation of jazz on radio. A central claim of the dissertation is that a given direction in jazz radio programming reflects the ideological, aesthetic, and political imperatives of a given broadcasting entity. I further argue that this ideological deployment of jazz can appear as conservative or progressive programming philosophies, and that these tendencies reflect discursive struggles over the identity of jazz. The first chapter, "Jazz on Noncommercial Radio," describes in some detail the current (circa 2013) taxonomy of American jazz radio. The remaining chapters are case studies of different aspects of jazz radio in the United States. Chapter 2, "Jazz is on the Left End of the Dial," presents considerable detail to the way the music is positioned on specific noncommercial stations. Chapter 3, "Duke Ellington and Radio," uses Ellington's multifaceted radio career (1925-1953) as radio bandleader, radio celebrity, and celebrity DJ to examine the medium's shifting relationship with jazz and black American creative ambition.

  • Hometown Teams: How Sports Shape America Children's Reading List
    Hometown Teams: How Sports Shape America Children’s Reading List Children's Fiction Bagnold, Edith. National Velvet. Originally published in 1935. Buccaneer. 1981. 306 pages. National Velvet is the story of a 14‐year‐old girl named Velvet Brown, who rides her horse to victory in the Grand National Steeplechase. The classic novel focuses on the ability of ordinary persons, particularly women, to accomplish great things. Velvet and her horse become instant celebrities, with Velvet and her family nearly drowning in notoriety. Velvet strongly objects to the publicity, saying the horse is a creature of glory who shouldn't be cheapened in tabloid trash and newsreels. She insists that she did not win the race, the horse did. The book inspires the film by the same name (starring Elizabeth Taylor), a TV series and TV movie version and a lesser known sequel, International Velvet. Christopher, Matt. The Great Quarterback Switch (Matt Christopher Sports Classics). Little Brown Books. 1991. 97 pages. Can Michael and Tom read each other's minds? Michael and Tom Curtis are identical twins who share a love of football. Unfortunately, because of a tragic accident, Michael must watch from the sidelines as his brother calls the plays on the football field. During one game Michael concentrates very hard on a play he thinks could help the team, and Tom calls the exact play a split second later! Is it coincidence, or can the boys communicate through ESP? The boys try a daring experiment in which they push their telepathic powers to the limit ... and suddenly, impossibly, Michael is running the ball for a spectacular touchdown! Matt Christopher has a number of sports‐related books to his credit.
