Support for that conference came from Professor James Brooks; the History Department, led by Sharon Farmer; Executive Vice Chan- cellor David Marshall; the Mediterranean Borderlands Research Group, led by Beth DePalma Digeser; the Identity Research Focus Group, led by Adrienne Edgar and Cynthia Kaplan; Deans Melvin Oliver and John Majewski of the College of Letters and Science; Emily Zinn of the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center; Professor John Park of the Asian American Studies Department; the Black Studies Department, led by Jeffrey Stewart; the Center for Black Studies Research, led by Diane Fujino; and Chancellor Henry Yang. The editors are grateful to all these people and institutions for their encouragement and sup- port not only of this project but also of several others over the years. We are also grateful to Sarah Devoto, Lana Do, Ken Hough, Roxanne Houman, Jasmine Kelakay, Raymok Ketema, Bridget Kyeremateng, and Laura Moore for staff help. Several scholars helped us refine our thinking by chairing panels and moderating discussions: Debra Blumenthal, Marc Coronado, Adrienne Edgar, Karl Jacoby, Terence Keel, Luke Roberts, and Xiaowei Zheng. Several others contributed papers that spurred on our conversations, but their papers did not make it into this book: Grace Peña Delgado, Beth DePalma Digeser, Philip Deslippe, Greg Fisher, Mat- tie Harper, Kaily Heitz, Nam- lin Hur, Matt Kester, Sameer Pandya, John Park, Félix Racine, Dan Shao, and Kariann Yokota. We are grateful to them all for helping us find our way in this very new area of inquiry. Finally, we owe thanks to Matt Bokovoy, Heather Stauffer, and their colleagues at the University of Nebraska Press for being model editors. 1 Shape Shifting Reflections on Racial Plasticity Paul Spickard It has become a commonplace to note that racial identities are social constructions. Many scholars have rehearsed how Carolus Linnaeus, Johann Friedrich Blumenbach, Georges Cuvier, Arthur de Gobineau, Paul Broca, Madison Grant, and others made these constructions at the level of philosophy, scholarship, and public advocacy.1 Very few scholars have traced how individuals, families, and small collectives have in fact gone about the work of constructing their identities. This book is about that process of racial identity formation, particularly racial identity transformation. There is a persistent trope that keeps popping up in the way people think about racial identities and interactions. They call it “passing.” The editors of this volume, and the contributors by and large, think it’s something else. In 1990 Ebony published a widely read article by Lynn Norment, a much- honored journalist, titled “Who’s Black and Who’s Not?” In it Norment accused a number of prominent people— many of them female entertainers— of trying to pretend they were not Black in order to reap social and financial benefits in a racist soci- ety that valued Whiteness over Blackness. Norment juxtaposed the people she regarded as self- deceiving wannabe Whites against the vir- tuous people who, despite also possessing multiracial ancestry and racial options, understood and embraced the fact, as it was in her view, that they were really and essentially Black. In the latter category, she 2 spickard featured prominently the American actor Jasmine Guy, whom she interviewed. Guy had one Black parent and one White parent. Then a star of the tv sitcom A Different World, Guy was quoted as saying: “I was never confused. Mine was a normal, happy childhood. I always knew that I was— and am— Black.”2 On the negative side of the ledger, Norment placed several peo- ple whom she regarded as racially self- deluded. Among them were actors Jennifer Beals and Rae Dawn Chong, figure skater Tai Babilo- nia, dancer Paula Abdul, and rock musician Lenny Kravitz, none of whom Norment seems to have interviewed. Norment charged them all with failing to own up to their true Black identities: “More and more individuals . who just a few years ago definitely would have been considered ‘Black’ are now calling themselves otherwise. Peo- ple who grew up in Black or mixed neighborhoods, who socialized with Blacks and who reflected the Black experience and culture, are now, having achieved success and fame, calling themselves anything but Black.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA RIVERSIDE “Sound Come-Unity”: Post-9/11 Brown and the Politics of Intercultural Improvisation A Dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music by Dhirendra Mikhail Panikker September 2019 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Deborah Wong, Chairperson Dr. Robin D.G. Kelley Dr. René T.A. Lysloff Dr. Liz Przybylski Copyright by Dhirendra Mikhail Panikker 2019 The Dissertation of Dhirendra Mikhail Panikker is approved: Committee Chairperson University of California, Riverside Acknowledgments Writing can feel like a solitary pursuit. It is a form of intellectual labor that demands individual willpower and sheer mental grit. But like improvisation, it is also a fundamentally social act. Writing this dissertation has been a collaborative process emerging through countless interactions across musical, academic, and familial circles. This work exceeds my role as individual author. It is the creative product of many voices. First and foremost, I want to thank my advisor, Professor Deborah Wong. I can’t possibly express how much she has done for me. Deborah has helped deepen my critical and ethnographic chops through thoughtful guidance and collaborative study. She models the kind of engaged and political work we all should be doing as scholars. But it all of the unseen moments of selfless labor that defines her commitment as a mentor: countless letters of recommendations, conference paper coachings, last minute grant reminders. Deborah’s voice can be found across every page. I am indebted to the musicians without whom my dissertation would not be possible. Priya Gopal, Vijay Iyer, Amir ElSaffar, and Hafez Modirzadeh gave so much of their time and energy to this project.

  • 1 This Isn't Paradise, This Is Hell: Discourse, Performance and Identity in the Hawai'i Metal Scene a Dissertation Submitte
    1 THIS ISN’T PARADISE, THIS IS HELL: DISCOURSE, PERFORMANCE AND IDENTITY IN THE HAWAI‘I METAL SCENE A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN AMERICAN STUDIES DECEMBER 2012 By Benjamin Hedge Olson Dissertation Committee: Kathleen Sands, Chairperson David E. Stannard Vernadette Gonzalez Roderick Labrador Helen J. Baroni Keywords: metal, popular music, popular culture, religion, subculture, Hawai‘i 2 Abstract The island of Oahu is home to probably the most ethnically diverse metal scene in the United States. Contemporary Hawai`i prides itself on being a “model of multiculturalism” free of the racism and ethnic strife that is endemic to the continent; however, beneath this superficial openness and tolerance exist deeply felt class, ethnic, and racial tensions. The metal scene in Hawai`i experiences these conflicting impulses towards inclusion and exclusion as profoundly as any other aspect of contemporary Hawaiian culture, but there is a persistent hope within the metal scene that subcultural identity can triumph over such tensions. Complicating this process is the presence of white military personnel, primarily born and raised on the continental United States, whose cultural attitudes, performances of masculinity, and conception of metal culture differ greatly from that of local metalheads. The misunderstandings, hostilities, bids for subcultural capital, and attempted bridge-building that take place between metalheads in Hawai‘i constitute a subculturally specific attempt to address anxieties concerning the presence of the military, the history of race and racism in Hawai`i, and the complicated, often conflicting desires for both openness and exclusivity that exist within local culture.

The three performances that I examine are: George M. Cohan’s production of Little Johnny ii Jones (1904), Eleanor Powell’s “Tribute to Bill Robinson” in Honolulu (1939), and Terry- Toons’ cartoon, “The Dancing Shoes” (1949). These performances share an obvious move away from the use of blackface makeup within a minstrel context, and a move towards the masked enjoyment in “black culture” as it contributes to the development of a uniquely American form of entertainment. In bringing these three disparate performances into dialogue I illuminate the many ways in which American entertainment has been built upon an Africanist aesthetic at the same time it has generally disparaged the black body.

  • Global Invasive Plants in Thailand and Its Status and a Case Study of Hydrocotyle Umbellata L
    Global invasive plants in Thailand and its status and a case study of Hydrocotyle umbellata L. Siriporn Zungsontiporn Weed Science Group, Plant Protection Research and Development Office, Department of Agriculture, Bangkok, Thailand 10900 Email: [email protected] Summary Global invasive plant may invade in some countries, but it is not invasive plant in its native country or in range of distribution. Those plants are utilized in some means, such as vegetable, fruit, ornamental plant or medicinal plant in it native country or even it was invasive plant but people learned how to manage with that plant, they can utilize it. On the contrary way, an invasive plant of any country may not be invasive in any country else. Most of the invasive plants are intentionally introduced to a country for some purpose especially for ornamental plant. Hydrocotyle umbrellata L. was introduced to Thailand as ornamental plant, the plant can grow well and with some habit of invasive plant of this plant, nowadays the plant was found in many natural areas as weed. Introduction Most of invasive plant in an area is alien plant which was introduced from different habitat within a country or other country across geographic barrier. Well development of transportation stimulates traveling and international trading which cause of increasing introduction of alien species. Some of introduced alien plants can establish and spread out if it can adapt itself to survive in the new habitat well. If the environment of new habitat is suitable for it growth, the plant may express it invasiveness and compete for space and nutrient with native plant which it may complete over native plants due to lack of it natural enemy in new habitat.

  • The Social Life of Slurs
    The Social Life of Slurs Geoff Nunberg School of Information, UC Berkeley Jan. 22, 2016 To appear in Daniel Fogal, Daniel Harris, and Matt Moss (eds.) (2017): New Work on Speech Acts (Oxford, UK: Oxford University Press). Chaque mot a son histoire. —Jules Gilliéron A Philological Caution The Emergence of Slurs We wear two hats when we talk about slurs, as engaged citizens and as scholars of language. The words had very little theoretical interest for philosophy or linguistic semantics before they took on a symbolic role in the culture wars that broke out in and around the academy in the 1980s.1 But once scholars’ attention was drawn to the topic, they began to discern connections to familiar problems in meta-ethics, semantics, and the philosophy of language. The apparent dual nature of the words—they seem both to describe and to evaluate or express— seemed to make them an excellent test bed for investigations of non-truth-conditional aspects of meaning, of certain types of moral language, of Fregean “coloring,” and of hybrid or “thick” terms, among other things. There are some writers who take slurs purely as a topical jumping-off point for addressing those issues and don’t make any explicit effort to bring their discussions back to the social questions that drew scholars’ attention to the words in the first place. But most seem to feel that their research ought to have some significance beyond the confines of the common room. That double perspective can leave us a little wall-eyed, as we try to track slurs as both a social and linguistic phenomenon.
