  • The Life & Rhymes of Jay-Z, an Historical Biography
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: THE LIFE & RHYMES OF JAY-Z, AN HISTORICAL BIOGRAPHY: 1969-2004 Omékongo Dibinga, Doctor of Philosophy, 2015 Dissertation directed by: Dr. Barbara Finkelstein, Professor Emerita, University of Maryland College of Education. Department of Teaching and Learning, Policy and Leadership. The purpose of this dissertation is to explore the life and ideas of Jay-Z. It is an effort to illuminate the ways in which he managed the vicissitudes of life as they were inscribed in the political, economic cultural, social contexts and message systems of the worlds which he inhabited: the social ideas of class struggle, the fact of black youth disempowerment, educational disenfranchisement, entrepreneurial possibility, and the struggle of families to buffer their children from the horrors of life on the streets. Jay-Z was born into a society in flux in 1969. By the time Jay-Z reached his 20s, he saw the art form he came to love at the age of 9—hip hop— become a vehicle for upward mobility and the acquisition of great wealth through the sale of multiplatinum albums, massive record deal signings, and the omnipresence of hip-hop culture on radio and television. In short, Jay-Z lived at a time where, if he could survive his turbulent environment, he could take advantage of new terrains of possibility. This dissertation seeks to shed light on the life and development of Jay-Z during a time of great challenge and change in America and beyond. THE LIFE & RHYMES OF JAY-Z, AN HISTORICAL BIOGRAPHY: 1969-2004 An historical biography: 1969-2004 by Omékongo Dibinga Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland, College Park, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2015 Advisory Committee: Professor Barbara Finkelstein, Chair Professor Steve Klees Professor Robert Croninger Professor Derrick Alridge Professor Hoda Mahmoudi © Copyright by Omékongo Dibinga 2015 Acknowledgments I would first like to thank God for making life possible and bringing me to this point in my life.

  • Building Your Chronological Resume
    BUILDING YOUR CHRONOLOGICAL RESUME [email protected] 985-876-5861, Option 2 Chronological resumes order information in descending chronological order (most recent to least recent). I suggest making two resumes: a master resume and the resume you will turn into potential employers. Start with your master resume, which lists everything that you’ve done and skills that you have regardless of whether or not it pertains to any specific career or job. Then, make a copy of your master resume and weed out the irrelevant information for the position you want to apply for. (If you decide to make a master resume, make it a chronological resume instead of a skills-based resume as it does not focus on any specific skillset.) Having a master resume helps you to remember what education, experience, training, certifications, etc. you have. That way, when you apply for something new, you won’t have to wrack your brain for anything relevant you can put on it. It’s all right in front of you! MAIN COMPONENTS OF A CHRONOLOGICAL RESUME Name and Contact Information Put your full name in a clear font where it is easy to see. Don’t use a nickname. Most resumes have the individual’s name at the very top of the page in a larger font than any other information. o If you have a common name or know of others with the same name as you, putting a middle name or middle initial can minimize confusion. Put at least two reliable and up-to-date means of contact potential employers can reach you at.

ON MY GRIND: FREESTYLE RAP PRACTICES IN EXPERIMENTAL CREATIVE WRITING AND COMPOSITION PEDAGOGY Evan Nave 312 Pages My work is always necessarily two-headed. Double-voiced. Call-and-response at once. Paranoid self-talk as dichotomous monologue to move the crowd. Part of this has to do with the deep cuts and scratches in my mind. Recorded and remixed across DNA double helixes. Structurally split. Generationally divided. A style and family history built on breaking down. Evidence of how ill I am. And then there’s the matter of skin. The material concerns of cultural cross-fertilization. Itching to plant seeds where the grass is always greener. Color collaborations and appropriations. Writing white/out with black art ink. Distinctions dangerously hidden behind backbeats or shamelessly displayed front and center for familiar-feeling consumption.

  • Learn-2-Earn Reading Program
    Learn-2-Earn Reading Program Heavenly Host LLC is partnering with parents to bring you our Learn-2-Earn Reading program. Children often do not understand why reading is important and as a “village” it is our job to find ways to maximize their potential. To scaffold peer and family learning we are offering a way for your children to feel rewarded for their work. We want to bring back the joy and love of literature as well as emphasizing financial literacy. As adults, we expect our pay when we put in work, don’t we? Our children are adults in training, show them that while their true efforts are priceless, their work does deserve reward. How will we do this? The answer is, WITH YOUR HELP! At the beginning of summer, each parent will be given a reading list that is age and grade appropriate. It will be the responsibility of the parent to coordinate with their child to find books that interest them. Through sponsorship and independent partnerships with businesses local and abroad, we want to help create an atmosphere that fosters growth and support. Since this program requires reading, we suggest taking this time to reconnect with your inner child and find the books that gave you that sense of awe. Additionally, since your child is earning this money, it is an avenue to give your child lessons on saving and respecting what they had to work for. We want your child to be excited about learning new things through the unique lens of imagination. We want to reiterate; it takes a village.

  • The Symbolic Rape of Representation: a Rhetorical Analysis of Black Musical Expression on Billboard's Hot 100 Charts
    THE SYMBOLIC RAPE OF REPRESENTATION: A RHETORICAL ANALYSIS OF BLACK MUSICAL EXPRESSION ON BILLBOARD'S HOT 100 CHARTS Richard Sheldon Koonce A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2006 Committee: John Makay, Advisor William Coggin Graduate Faculty Representative Lynda Dee Dixon Radhika Gajjala ii ABSTRACT John J. Makay, Advisor The purpose of this study is to use rhetorical criticism as a means of examining how Blacks are depicted in the lyrics of popular songs, particularly hip-hop music. This study provides a rhetorical analysis of 40 popular songs on Billboard’s Hot 100 Singles Charts from 1999 to 2006. The songs were selected from the Billboard charts, which were accessible to me as a paid subscriber of Napster. The rhetorical analysis of these songs will be bolstered through the use of Black feminist/critical theories. This study will extend previous research regarding the rhetoric of song. It also will identify some of the shared themes in music produced by Blacks, particularly the genre commonly referred to as hip-hop music. This analysis builds upon the idea that the majority of hip-hop music produced and performed by Black recording artists reinforces racial stereotypes, and thus, hegemony. The study supports the concept of which bell hooks (1981) frequently refers to as white supremacist capitalist patriarchy and what Hill-Collins (2000) refers to as the hegemonic domain. The analysis also provides a framework for analyzing the themes of popular songs across genres. The genres ultimately are viewed through the gaze of race and gender because Black male recording artists perform the majority of hip-hop songs.

  • Homegirls, Hoodrats and Hos: Co-Constructing Gang Status
    www.crimejusticejournal.com IJCJ&SD 2016 5(4): 29‐44 ISSN 2202–8005 Homegirls, Hoodrats and Hos: Co‐constructing Gang Status through Discourse and Performance Abigail Kolb Clayton State University, USA Ted Palys Simon Fraser University, Canada Abstract Despite a growing literature regarding female gang membership, little is known about the ways in which gang‐affiliated women negotiate the boundaries of gang membership. The current study, based on semi‐structured interviews with twenty‐four formerly gang‐affiliated Chicana women involved with a prominent gang prevention/intervention organization, sought to understand how these women negotiated their interactions and understood their identity within the gang. Findings suggest that these women and the gangs in which they operate recreate broader gender norms that affect their standing and social mobility within the gang. Keywords Chicana gangs; homegirls; gender performance; street socialization; identity construction; cholo subculture.
