(iv) ABSTRACT: This qualitative research study explores young African Nova Scotian women’s responses to images of Black female bodies depicted in three popular hip hop music videos. Taking a Black socio-feminist theoretical perspective, the project elicits the views of five young women in their first or second year of university, using an open-ended and semi-structured individual interview format. Research findings indicate that the participants are media literate and that they critically consume depictions of the Black female body in popular culture. Factors such as academic achievement, the importance of divinity, and degree of communal affiliation act as bases for counter-hegemonic viewing of the images. Whereas popular cultural depicts the Black female body as sexually promiscuous, the young women interviewed define Black female beauty as a quality mostly emanating from the inside-out.

Introduction & Research Objectives Academic literature has tended to support the idea that Black female youth have higher self-esteem and more positive bodily self-acceptance than their White female counterparts (Harris & Kuba, 1997; Mandell, 1998; Parker, Nichter, Vuckovic, Slims & Riterbaugh, 1995; Wolf, 1991). Such literature has also tended to focus on the physical, biological, psychological (and often Eurocentric) perspectives of body image1, often emphasizing issues of weight preoccupation and body dissatisfaction (Brown & Jasper, 1993). Further, research to date has not specifically examined how prevalent, stereotypical, Americanized media images of the Black female body are linked to one’s self-conception, or considered the social implications that these Americanized images may have on one’s health and well-being in a Canadian context. This research begins to address these gaps in literature by examining the responses of young African Nova Scotian women to prominent media images and by exploring how these images affect self. More specifically, the research focuses on media images of the Black female body by undertaking an empirical investigation into the relationship between hip hop culture as illustrated by popular, commercialized rap videos and the responses to such images among young Black women. In essence, the research focuses on the ways in which images of the Black female body are socially constructed and dispersed through three American rap videos by focusing on two major areas of investigation. The first investigates how (non-) assimilation to White, Western culture affects young Black women’s notions of self­ conception and the connection, if any, to the beauty ideals represented in rap videos and hip hop culture. In this context, the main focus will be the extent to which young African Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. Nova Scotian women report that they do or do not modify their values and beliefs about images of body in an effort to assimilate to White, Americanized standards of beauty. The second investigates what remains to be done to bring about positive change and advocacy for young African Nova Scotian women concerning images of body, assimilation to Western standards of beauty, and self-conception.

    ENG 350: THE HISTORY OF HIP-HOP With your host, Dr. Russell A. Potter, a.k.a. Professa RAp Monday - Thursday, 6:30-8:30, Craig-Lee 252 http://350hiphop.blogspot.com/ In its rise to the top of the American popular music scene, Hip-hop has taken on all comers, and issued beatdown after beatdown. Yet how many of its fans today know the origins of the music? Sure, people might have heard something of Afrika Bambaataa or Grandmaster Flash, but how about the Last Poets or Grandmaster CAZ? For this class, we’ve booked a ride on the wayback machine which will take us all the way back to Hip-hop’s precursors, including the Blues, Calypso, Ska, and West African griots. From there, we’ll trace its roots and routes through the ‘parties in the park’ in the late 1970’s, the emergence of political Hip-hop with Public Enemy and KRS-One, the turn towards “gangsta” style in the 1990’s, and on into the current pantheon of rappers. Along the way, we’ll take a closer look at the essential elements of Hip-hop culture, including Breaking (breakdancing), Writing (graffiti), and Rapping, with a special look at the past and future of turntablism and digital sampling. Our two required textbook are Bradley and DuBois’s Anthology of Rap (Yale University Press) and Neal and Forman’s That's the Joint: The Hip-Hop Studies Reader are both available at the RIC campus store. Films shown in part or in whole will include Bamboozled, Style Wars, The Freshest Kids: A History of the B-Boy, Wild Style, and Zebrahead; there will is also a course blog with a discussion board and a wide array of links to audio and text resources at http://350hiphop.blogspot.com/ WRITTEN WORK: An informal response to our readings and listenings is due each week on the blog.

  • This Week for Some of Us, the Notion of Christian Music, at Least on a Commercial Level, Dates Back to Amy Grant
    THE MOST TRUSTED NAME IN RADIO ISSUE 2082 NOVEMBER 24 1995 This Week For some of us, the notion of Christian music, at least on a commercial level, dates back to Amy Grant. On the rock side, there was Stryper. And we knew that many secular artists were given to writ- ing and singing songs with religious themes, among them Bob Dylan, U2, Ricky VanShelton, Marvin Gaye, and maiy others. We recall historic moments, like the skyrocketing of "Oh Happy Day" by the Northern California State Youth Choir (a.k.a. the Walter Hawkins Singers) in 1969 by way of free -form FM rock radio. A number of us heard spiri- tual songs from icons of rock and coun- try like Hank Williams, Tennessee Ernie Ford, and Elvis Presley. But those were instances. These days, we're talking industry. Chistian music is big business, on records and radio, across vari- ous formats and genres, including rap, urban, and metal. For GAVIN'S first long look into this music, Kent and Keith Zimmerman, with tie assistance of Lisa Smith and with special reports from Quincy McCoy, Rob Fiend and Spence D., survey the wide-ranging Christian land - scape and j. stars like Kathy Troccoli (top) of Reunion Records. Says the label's market- ing director Ben Howard: "Cmistian radio is definitely maturing, and we're finding more of an openness from mainstream pop radio." In News, Time Warner stuns the biz by ousting Michael Fuchs (middle), while MCA me Intervention rep aces Al Teller with Doug Mots (bottom). And the record biz gets more competition from Scny, Visa, and Intouch.
