  • James Baldwin As a Writer of Short Fiction: an Evaluation
    JAMES BALDWIN AS A WRITER OF SHORT FICTION: AN EVALUATION dayton G. Holloway A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 1975 618208 ii Abstract Well known as a brilliant essayist and gifted novelist, James Baldwin has received little critical attention as short story writer. This dissertation analyzes his short fiction, concentrating on character, theme and technique, with some attention to biographical parallels. The first three chapters establish a background for the analysis and criticism sections. Chapter 1 provides a biographi­ cal sketch and places each story in relation to Baldwin's novels, plays and essays. Chapter 2 summarizes the author's theory of fiction and presents his image of the creative writer. Chapter 3 surveys critical opinions to determine Baldwin's reputation as an artist. The survey concludes that the author is a superior essayist, but is uneven as a creator of imaginative literature. Critics, in general, have not judged Baldwin's fiction by his own aesthetic criteria. The next three chapters provide a close thematic analysis of Baldwin's short stories. Chapter 4 discusses "The Rockpile," "The Outing," "Roy's Wound," and "The Death of the Prophet," a Bi 1 dungsroman about the tension and ambivalence between a black minister-father and his sons. In contrast, Chapter 5 treats the theme of affection between white fathers and sons and their ambivalence toward social outcasts—the white homosexual and black demonstrator—in "The Man Child" and "Going to Meet the Man." Chapter 6 explores the theme of escape from the black community and the conseauences of estrangement and identity crises in "Previous Condition," "Sonny's Blues," "Come Out the Wilderness" and "This Morning, This Evening, So Soon." The last chapter attempts to apply Baldwin's aesthetic principles to his short fiction.

  • “He Gave Me the Words”: an Interview with Raoul Peck
    INTERVIEW “He Gave Me the Words”: An Interview with Raoul Peck Leah Mirakhor Yale University Abstract I Am Not Your Negro (2016) takes its direction from the notes for a book enti- tled “Remember this House” that James Baldwin left unfinished, a book about his three friends—Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King Jr.— their murders, and their intertwining legacies. The film examines the prophetic shadow Baldwin’s work casts on twentieth- and twenty-first-century American politics and culture. Peck compiles archival material from Baldwin’s interviews on The Dick Cavett Show, his 1965 Cambridge lecture, and a series of banal images indexing the American dream. Juxtaposed against this mythology is footage of Dorothy Counts walking to school, the assassination of black leaders and activists, KKK rallies, and the different formations of the contemporary carceral state. Our conversation examines Peck’s role as a filmmaker and his relationship with the Baldwin estate. Additionally, we discussed a series of aesthetic choices he fought to include in the film’s final cut, directing Samuel L. Jackson as the voice for the film, the similarities and shifts he wanted to document in American culture since the 1960s, and some of the criticism he has received for not emphasizing more Baldwin’s sexuality. Keywords: James Baldwin, Gloria Baldwin Karefa-Smart, race, film, America, The Devil Finds Work, “Remember this House,” violence, sexuality, Patrice Lumumba, film I Am Not Your Negro (2016) is a work that has been a lifetime in the making for Raoul Peck. Before he met James Baldwin’s younger sister, Gloria Baldwin Karefa-Smart, a decade ago at her home in Washington D.C.

Produced in England, in association with Nigerian Television. "Basil Davidson is one of the major world authorities on African history, and this series is very well done. In some places he is presenting personal interpretations for which there is not as yet a scholarly consensus. He is generally sympathetic to African reinterpretations of world history." ‐‐ Reid Part 1: "Different but Equal." Davidson goes back to Africa's origins to show that, far from having no great art or technology, Africa gave rise to some of the world's greatest early civilizations. Part 2: "Mastering a Continent." Looking closely at three different communities, this program examines the way African peoples carve out an existence in an often hostile environment. Two very different farming villages show how, in Africa, spiritual development goes hand in hand with technological advance. Part 3: "Caravans of Gold." Davidson traces the routes of the medieval gold trade, which reached from Africa to India and China in the east and westward to the city‐states of Italy. African rulers grew rich and powerful ‐ the King of Ghana was described by an Arab traveler in 951 as the wealthiest of all kings on earth.

DIRECTOR’S NOTES TWO ORIGINAL HISTORICAL SINS I started reading James Baldwin when I was a 15-year-old boy searching for rational explanations to the contradictions I was confronting in my already nomadic life, which took me from Haiti to Congo to France to Germany and to the United States of America. Together with Aimée Césaire, Jacques Stéphane Alexis, Richard Wright, Gabriel Garcia Marques and Alejo Carpentier, James Baldwin was one of the few authors that I could call “my own”. Authors who were speaking of a world I knew, in which I was not just a footnote. They were telling stories describing history, defining structure and human relationships which matched what I was seeing around me and I could relate to them.

    BREAKING THE HEGEMONY OF WHITE AMERICANS REFLECTED IN SPIKE LEE’S MALCOLM X : A SOCIOLOGICAL APPROACH RESEARCH PAPER Submitted as partial fulfillment of requirement for getting Bachelor Degree of Education in English Department Written by: ERVAN YUDHI TRIATMOKO A 320 050 235 ENGLISH DEPARTMENT SCHOOL OF TEACHER TRAINING AND EDUCATION MUHAMMADIYAH UNIVERSITY OF SURAKARTA 2009 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study A movie has the same position as the major genres in textual studies, like poetry or novel. In the human’s development, reality and a movie have a strong correlations. A movie can represent the situation (politics, culture and social phenomena) at the time the movie produced, so movie can be a media or instrument to do social study. Laurenson and Swingewood (1972:9), argue that “literature is reflecting various fast and social phenomena and problem in society such as class structure, conflict family, relationship, possibility divorce and population phenomena that actually happened in society”. In a social relationship, more over in large scope like international relationship, human cannot avoid the cultures conflict or the clash. Culture itself refers to a complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, moral, law, custom and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society. Culture was used by some to refer to a wide array of human activities, and by others as a synonym for civilization. Other basic conflicts in a society are religion, region, gender, and many other aspects. All of these groups seek to gain a power and use it to reshape society the way they see it of race and ethnicity that of domination.
