  • Many Voices, One Nation Booklist A
    Many Voices, One Nation Booklist Many Voices, One Nation began as an initiative of past American Library Association President Carol Brey-Casiano. In 2005 ALA Chapters, Ethnic Caucuses, and other ALA groups were asked to contribute annotated book selections that best represent the uniqueness, diversity, and/or heritage of their state, region or group. Selections are featured for children, young adults, and adults. The list is a sampling that showcases the diverse voices that exist in our nation and its literature. A Alabama Library Association Title: Send Me Down a Miracle Author: Han Nolan Publisher: San Diego: Harcourt Brace Date of Publication: 1996 ISBN#: [X] Young Adults Annotation: Adrienne Dabney, a flamboyant New York City artist, returns to Casper, Alabama, the sleepy, God-fearing town of her birth, to conduct an artistic experiment. Her big-city ways and artsy ideas aren't exactly embraced by the locals, but it's her claim of having had a vision of Jesus that splits the community. Deeply affected is fourteen- year-old Charity Pittman, daughter of a local preacher. Reverend Pittman thinks Adrienne is the devil incarnate while Charity thinks she's wonderful. Believer is pitted against nonbeliever and Charity finds herself caught in the middle, questioning her father, her religion, and herself. Alabama Library Association Title: Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café Author: Fannie Flagg Publisher: New York: Random House Date of Publication: 1987 ISBN#: [X] Adults Annotation: This begins as the story of two women in the 1980s, of gray-headed Mrs. Threadgoode telling her life story to Evelyn who is caught in the sad slump of middle age.

  • Away from Home Are Some and I—Homeplace in Fannie Flagg's
    English Language and Literature Studies; Vol. 8, No. 1; 2018 ISSN 1925-4768 E-ISSN 1925-4776 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education Away from Home Are Some and I—Homeplace in Fannie Flagg’s Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café: A Black Feminist Lens Natthapol Boonyaoudomsart1 1 International Program in English Language Studies, Department of English, Faculty of Liberal Arts, Thammasat University, Bangkok, Thailand Correspondence: Natthapol Boonyaoudomsart, Department of English, Faculty of Liberal Arts, Thammasat University, Bangkok, Thailand. E-mail: [email protected] Received: December 23, 2017 Accepted: January 13, 2018 Online Published: February 3, 2018 doi:10.5539/ells.v8n1p20 URL: https://doi.org/10.5539/ells.v8n1p20 Abstract This article aims to explore the centrally essential notion of homeplace as a site of resistance presented in Fannie Flagg’s Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe (1987). Close reading of the novel advances the argument that both the symbolic Whistle Stop and the cafe represent the counteractive force against sexist, classist and racist ideologies that basically undermine self-esteem and empowerment of literary characters in the text. Despite gender, class and race, the discussed characters, however they are marginalized, can safely take refuge, heal and recover themselves in the guarded icons connoting deep meanings. By directing a critical gaze at rootedness, the discussion is grounded in Black feminist criticism that, while largely exclusive to the experiences of women of color, values the significant role of homeplace and informs how the novel responds to this feminist perspective. In the collective effort to offset discrimination, it is stressed that one is to regain a sense of self in the marginal space by embracing Black feminism.

    Generation “Undecided”: Millennial Discourses and Media Reactions to Changing Political Behaviors A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Drexel University by Alison N. Novak in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2014 ii -Copyright Page- iii -Dedication- To my parents, who fought to get me into the high-honors civics course in 9th grade. v Acknowledgements To begin, my parents, Michael and Denise Novak have been an incredible support system. The way they live their life has taught me the meaning of being a true member of a community and citizen. The study presented here is based on the principles of responsibility, compassion, and engagement that they have taught me. Thank you for teaching me how to grow up and be an adult. A great deal of this study is inspired by the teachers in my life. I’ve been given many gifts along the way, but I truly believe that learning from inspiring leaders and teachers is foundational in the way I try to live my life. These people include Jeanne Boulanger, Evelyn Novak, Aunt Melinda Novak, Uncle Jerry Meyers, Uncle Leon Boulanger, Dorothy and Edward Markowski, Carol MacMullen, Colleen James, Mrs. Zwiben, and my professors from Marist College. I am grateful to the members of the Drexel University community. From the moment I started in the doctoral program, the University has been a tremendous source of intellectual, emotional, and social support. Over the past four years, The Department of Culture and Communication has made me and fellow students feel as if we can accomplish anything, and so we do.

  • Xm and Air America Radio Announce Long Term Agreement; Xm to Be Official Satellite Radio Network of Air America
    NEWS RELEASE XM AND AIR AMERICA RADIO ANNOUNCE LONG TERM AGREEMENT; XM TO BE OFFICIAL SATELLITE RADIO NETWORK OF AIR AMERICA 4/11/2005 Washington D.C., April 11, 2005 -- XM Satellite Radio (NASDAQ: XMSR), the nation's leading satellite radio provider with more than 3.77 million subscribers, has announced a new long-term agreement with Air America Radio, the national progressive entertainment talk radio network home to Al Franken, Randi Rhodes and Janeane Garofalo. As part of this agreement XM will be the official satellite radio network for Air America Radio. Beginning in May, XM's liberal talk channel, America Left (XM Channel 167) will be renamed Air America Radio. The channel will include an expanded line-up of Air America Radio programming, including the recently debuted "Springer on the Radio" hosted by Jerry Springer and upcoming "Rachel Maddow Show," among others. XM's Air America Radio channel also will feature popular shows currently carried on America Left, including "The Ed Shultz Show" and "The Alan Colmes Show." "XM was a natural fit to be the official satellite radio network of Air America Radio, given its large subscriber base, numerous distribution channels and demonstrated growth," said Danny Goldberg, CEO of Air America Radio. "The quality of XM's other partnerships, their Washington, D.C. location and proximity to the center of our nation's political workings, along with millions of subscribers, made our decision easy." XM's Washington, D.C. headquarters will offer dedicated studio space for special live broadcasts throughout the year for Air America Radio programs featuring Rachel Maddow, Marc Marron, Mark Riley, Al Franken, Katherine Lanpher, Jerry Springer, Randi Rhodes, Sam Seder, Janeane Garofalo, Chuck D, Mike Malloy, Laura Flanders, Steve Earle, Robert Kennedy Jr., Mike Papantonio, Kyle Jason, Marty Kaplan, and Betsy Rosenberg.

  • Unburdened by Objectivity: Political Entertainment News in the 2008 Presidential Campaign
    Unburdened by Objectivity: Political Entertainment News in the 2008 Presidential Campaign Rachel Cathleen DeLauder Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In Communication John C. Tedesco, Chair Rachel L. Holloway Beth M. Waggenspack May 3, 2010 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: News, Entertainment Media, Daily Show, Colbert Report, Jon Stewart Unburdened by Objectivity: Political Entertainment News in the 2008 Presidential Campaign Rachel Cathleen DeLauder ABSTRACT This study analyzes 2008 presidential election coverage on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report to determine how they confront the tension between the genres of news and entertainment. To this point, much of the scholarly work on political entertainment news has focused on examining its effects on viewers’ political attitudes and knowledge. A rhetorical analysis reveals the actual messages they convey and the strategies they employ to discuss contemporary American politics. Through comedic devices such as satire and parody, The Daily Show and The Colbert Report offer a venue for social commentary and criticisms of power at a time when traditional venues are dissipating, and these shows provide a place for serious political discourse that encourages dialogue that promotes civic engagement. iii Acknowledgments Thank you to my advisor and the members of my committee for their abundant patience and invaluable guidance, and especially for giving me the confidence to trust in myself.
