  • The Role of Radicalism in African-American Protest Music
    “WE’D RATHER DIE ON OUR FEET THAN BE LIVIN’ ON OUR KNEES” THE ROLE OF RADICALISM IN AFRICAN-AMERICAN PROTEST MUSIC, 1960 – 1990: A CASE STUDY AND LYRICAL ANALYSIS Master’s Thesis in North American Studies Leiden University By Roos Fransen 1747045 10 June 2018 Supervisor: Dr. S.A. Polak Second reader: Dr. M.L. de Vries Contents Introduction 3 Chapter 1: Nina Simone and calling out racism 12 Chapter 2: James Brown, black emancipation and self-pride 27 Chapter 3: Public Enemy, black militancy and distrust of government and 40 media Conclusion 52 Works cited 56 2 Introduction The social importance of African-American music originates in the arrival of African slaves on the North American continent. The captured Africans transported to the British colonial area that would later become the United States came from a variety of ethnic groups with a long history of distinct and cultivated musical traditions. New musical forms came into existence, influenced by Christianity, yet strongly maintaining African cultural traditions. One of the most widespread early musical forms among enslaved Africans was the spiritual. Combining Christian hymns and African rhythms, spirituals became a distinctly African- American response to conditions on the plantations slaves were forced to work1. They expressed the slaves’ longing for spiritual and physical freedom, for safety from harm and evil, and for relief from the hardships of slavery. Many enslaved people were touched by the metaphorical language of the Bible, identifying for example with the oppressed Israelites of the Old Testament, as this spiritual Go Down Moses illustrates: Go down, Moses Way down in Egypt's land Tell old Pharaoh Let my people go2 The spiritual is inspired by Exodus 8:1, a verse in the Old Testament.

Located in Gotham CityArkham Batman Arkham Asylum is where Batman's foes who are considered to be mentally ill are brought as patients other foes are incarcerated at Blackgate Penitentiary. Although it has had numerous administrators, some comic books have featured Jeremiah Arkham. Inspired by the works of H.

Arkham Asylum has a poor security record and high recidivism rate, at least with regard to the high-profile cases—patients, such as Batman Arkham Asylum Joker, are frequently shown escaping at will—and those who are considered to no longer be mentally unwell and discharged tend to re-offend. Furthermore, several staff members, including its founder, Dr. Amadeus Arkhamand his nephew, director Dr. Jeremiah Arkhamas well as staff members Dr. Harleen QuinzelLyle Bolton and, in some incarnations, Dr. Jonathan Crane and Professor Hugo Strangehave become mentally unwell.

THE TROTTER REVIEW Black Expressive Art, Resistant Cultural Politics, and the [Re] Performance of Patriotism Deborah Elizabeth Whaley Introduction During World War I, the Boston editor William Monroe Trotter described black American patriotism as a cautious endeavor and America's willingness to participate in the World War while it turned its back on domestic issues as misguided. In an era when freedom bypassed most black women and men within the nation-state of America and in an era of mass lynching in the American South, he proclaimed that black Americans and the U.S. government might refocus their efforts on making the world safer for "Negroes." As historian Eric Foner reminds us, black Americans were aware of the limits of American proclamations of freedom that Trotter alludes to in his discussion of nationalist loyalty during war: It was among black Americans that the wartime language of freedom inspired the most exalted hopes.

  • Jane Doe and the Cradle of All Worlds Teachers Notes
    JANE DOE AND THE CRADLE OF ALL WORLDS TEACHERS NOTES Written by Jeremy Lachlan Published by Hardie Grant Egmont in August 2018 SYNOPSIS With its towering columns and crummy stonework, the Manor looks more like an ancient ruin than anything. A gigantic gargoyle crowning the island, born of the cliffs themselves, as old as the sea and sky. Crumbling statues flank its windowless walls. Dying vines creep up its sides. For thousands of years, the people of Bluehaven worshipped it, praised it, journeyed through it to the Otherworlds, but it has stood like this – dormant, lifeless, closed to all – for well over a decade now. Fourteen years to be precise. Ever since me and Dad came to town. Jane Doe is all but alone in a world that hates her. Outcast from the day she and her father tumbled down the sacred steps of the Manor into Bluehaven, bringing earthquakes and destruction to the town, fourteen-year-old Jane is surrounded by people who hold her responsible for their misfortune. She and her father live in a basement owned by the Hollows, a local couple who take every opportunity to remind Jane that she is a curse upon the land. Jane’s only allies are Violet, the Hollows’ precocious and rebellious eight-year-old daughter; and her father, John Doe, who has been trapped, mute and unmoving, inside his own skin for as long as Jane can remember. She can feel an invisible thread connecting them, but her dad is unable to offer her any answers or comfort. The Hollows think she’s a freak, and resent her presence in their lives.

  • Public Enemy's Views on Racism As Seen Trough Their Songlyrics Nama
    Judul : Public enemy's views on racism as seen trough their songlyrics Nama : Rasti Setya Anggraini CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of Choosing The Subject Music has become the most popular and widespread entertainment product in the world. As the product of art, it has performed the language of emotions that can be enjoyed and understood universally. Music is also well known as a medium of expression and message delivering long before radio, television, and sound recordings are available. Through the lyrics of a song, musicians may express everything they want, either their social problems, political opinions, or their dislike toward something or someone. As we know, there are various music genres existed in the music industries nowadays : such as classic, rock, pop, jazz, folk, country, rap, etc. However, not all of them can be used to accommodate critical ideas for sensitive issues. Usually, criticism is delivered in certain music genre that popular only among specific community, where its audience feels personal connection with the issues being criticized. Hip-hop music belongs to such genre. It served as Black people’s medium 1 2 for expressing criticism and protest over their devastating lives and conditions in the ghettos. Yet, hip-hop succeeds in becoming the most popular mainstream music. The reason is this music, which later on comes to be synonym with rap, sets its themes to beats and rivets the audience with them. Therefore, for the audiences that do not personally connected with black struggle (like the white folks), it is kind of protect them from its provocative message, since “it is possible to dig the beats and ignore the words, or even enjoy the words and forget them when it becomes too dangerous to listen” (Sartwell, 1998).

    Torts Teaching: From Basic Training to Legal-Process Theory: Dominick Vetri, Tort Law and Practice Joseph A. Page* I. INTRODUCTION When I was preparing to launch my career as a torts professor at the University of Denver College of Law in the fall of 1964, I found a rather thin menu of casebooks from which to choose. However, the editors of these tomes were towering figures in the field, a fact that more than made up for (and perhaps explained) the paucity of avail- able teaching materials. The list included Prosser and Smith,' per- fectly straight-forward in its approach and burnished by the recogni- tion that its lead editor was the most influential torts scholar of the day;2 Seavey, Keeton, and Keeton,3 leavening a stolid devotion to the case method with an occasional and, for its day, innovative use of car- toons; 4 Green et al.,' with opinions and text uniquely paraded in fac- tual categories such as public-service companies6 and horse-and- buggy traffic;7 Shulman and James,8 notable for employing a workers' compensation opinion as its engine9 and consigning intentional torts to the caboose;1" and the "new kid on the block," Gregory and Kalven."1 * Professor, Georgetown University Law Center. 1.
