  • I the MULTICULTURAL MEGALOPOLIS
    i THE MULTICULTURAL MEGALOPOLIS: AFRICAN-AMERICAN SUBJECTIVITY AND IDENTITY IN CONTEMPORARY HARLEM FICTION A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Shamika Ann Mitchell May 2012 Examining Committee Members: Joyce A. Joyce, Ph.D., Advisory Chair, Department of English Sheldon R. Brivic, Ph.D., Department of English Roland L. Williams, Ph.D., Department of English Maureen Honey, Ph.D., Department of English, University of Nebraska-Lincoln ii © Copyright 2012 by Shamika Ann Mitchell iii ABSTRACT The central aim of this study is to explore what I term urban ethnic subjectivity, that is, the subjectivity of ethnic urbanites. Of all the ethnic groups in the United States, the majority of African Americans had their origins in the rural countryside, but they later migrated to cities. Although urban living had its advantages, it was soon realized that it did not resolve the matters of institutional racism, discrimination and poverty. As a result, the subjectivity of urban African Americans is uniquely influenced by their cosmopolitan identities. New York City‘s ethnic community of Harlem continues to function as the geographic center of African-American urban culture. This study examines how six post-World War II novels ― Sapphire‘s PUSH, Julian Mayfield‘s The Hit, Brian Keith Jackson‘s The Queen of Harlem, Charles Wright‘s The Wig, Toni Morrison‘s Jazz and Louise Meriwether‘s Daddy Was a Number Runner ― address the issues of race, identity, individuality and community within Harlem and the megalopolis of New York City. Further, this study investigates concepts of urbanism, blackness, ethnicity and subjectivity as they relate to the characters‘ identities and self- perceptions.

  • Loosening the Straightjacket
    Gene Andrew Jarrett loosening the straightjacket Rethinking Racial Representation in African American Anthologies Right now, I am preparing a major anthology of African American lit- erature spanning from the eighteenth century until the present. To be published by Wiley- Blackwell, the anthology requires the consideration of several intellectual and editorial issues, such as the historical value of certain literary works, their ongoing scholarly relevance, their commer- cial viability, their pedagogic utility, their copyright expenses, and the di- versity of their authors, forms, and themes. While conducting research, I have surveyed the opinions of many teachers, students, and scholars who either specialize in African American literary studies or engage this aca- demic !eld in passing. "e ideas and suggestions they have o#ered are meaningful not only to the anthology itself, but also to the a$rmation— which, personally, I was also seeking— that the texts and contexts of Af- rican American literature remain exciting topics of inquiry. "e Wiley- Blackwell anthology’s scope testi!es, !rst of all, to the re- markable growth of African American literary studies since its academic expansion and institutionalization in the %&'(s and %&)(s. Periodized according to race, ethnicity, politics, history, culture, and methodology, the scope ranges from the literatures of Africa, Middle Passage, slavery, and freedom in the early national and antebellum periods; to the mod- ern period of New Negro aesthetics, culture, and politics between the Civil War and World War II; to the contemporary period in which the canon, tradition, and criticism of African American literature have un- dergone reform. "e scope also incorporates either the reassessment of American canons more broadly or the rediscovery and close reading of texts still absent from them.

  • Redacted for Privacy
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Brian R. Schefke for the degree of Master of Arts in History of Science presented on August 11, 2000. Title: Morality and Materialism: American Conservatives and Science, 1945-1964. Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: aid E.Doel Following World War II, the United States enjoyed unprecedented power and prestige. The wartime alliance with the Soviet Union quickly collapsed amid mutual suspicion and fear, however, resulting in the Cold War. Science was a significant political component in that ideological conflict. In the United States, inspired by Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal, many placed their confidence in the ability of science to improve the human condition. By contrast, American conservatives viewed the New Deal much more negatively; they were also ambivalent about the promise of modem science. A few even saw a troubling acceptance of the superiority of science over other forms of knowledge, a view they labeled as "scientism." Conservatives like Richard M. Weaver, the economist Friednch A. Hayek, and others attempted to criticize scientism, but this critique did not take hold. Ultimately, conservatives were unable to enlist scientists in their criticism of scientism; moreover, the overriding importance of anticommunism to the postwar conservative resurgence blunted conservative antiscientism. Conservative scientists, while dissenting from their left-liberal peers in the realm of politics, nonetheless shared with those peers a strong belief in the positive values of science. In addition, conservative scientists often emphasized the importance of Western science to freedom, in contrast to communist science supposedly tainted by ideology. As conservatives recognized the value of science to their own political goals, the antiscientistic critique faded.

  • COLLEGE NEWS Newsletter of NYU College of Arts and Science
    SUMMER 2017 COLLEGE NEWS Newsletter of NYU College of Arts and Science VICE DEAN’S LETTER What an extraordinary year it has been! Here are some of the many highlights: in January, CAS hosted a three-day cel- ebration of the life and works of Elie Wiesel, culminating with a conversation with Miriam Adler, a Holocaust survivor—a memorable evening of profound humanity, and, ultimately, of hope. Later, in March, CAS invited General John Allen, who spoke about the strategic role of the United States in the years to come, and the important role that our graduates will play in creating that future world. In quieter ways as well, throughout the year, we’ve addressed several important issues that affect us all.
