For convenience, a terminology section is also included. History, despite its wrenching pain, Cannot be unlived, and if faced with courage, Need not be lived again. - Maya Angelou, “On the Pulse of Morning” 1 Books Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents Author: Isabel Wilkerson (2020) 388 pages (469 pages with notes, etc.) Brilliant, revealing, and impressively-researched, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents is an eye-opening story of people and history and how lives and behaviors are influenced by the rigid hierarchy of caste. Pulitzer Prize winning author, instructor and lecturer Isabel Wilkerson uses the stories of real people to show how America throughout its history, and still today, has been shaped by a hidden caste system. This rigid hierarchy of human rankings not only influences people’s lives but the nation’s fate. She shows us that racism, which resides within the invisible caste structure in America, is so ingrained that it is autonomic in expression and mostly goes unnoticed or unchallenged. Gifted with great narrative and literary power, Isabel Wilkerson offers a new perspective on American history while linking and illustrating the caste systems of America, India and Nazi Germany. That Germany used America as a model for its treatment of Jewish people is chilling.

  • Writers & Lovers
    BOOK SUMMARY A novel of art, love, and ambition and an unforgettable portrait of an artist as a young woman—from Lily King, the New York Times bestselling author of Euphoria. Blindsided by her mother’s sudden death, and wrecked by a recent love affair, Casey Peabody has arrived in Massachusetts in the summer of 1997 without a plan. Her mail consists of wedding invitations and final notices from debt collectors. A former child golf prodigy, she now waits tables in Harvard Square and rents a tiny, moldy room at the side of a garage where she works on the novel she’s been writing for six years. At thirty-one, Casey is still clutching onto something nearly all her old friends have let go of: the determination to live a creative life. When she falls for two very different men at the same time, her world fractures even more. Casey’s fight to fulfill her creative ambitions and balance the conflicting demands of art and life is challenged in ways that push her to the brink. Writers & Lovers follows Casey—a smart and achingly vulnerable protagonist—in the last days of a long youth, a time when every element of her life comes to a crisis. Written with King’s trademark humor, heart, and intelligence, Writers & Lovers is a transfixing novel that explores the terrifying and exhilarating leap between the end of one phase of life and the beginning of another. Writers & Lovers LILY KING WHAT THE REVIEWERS SAY RAVE: ELIZABETH EGAN, THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW Even with a handful of compelling plots in the air, King is at her wisest and most self- assured when she shows how Casey gradually gets her bearings as a motherless daughter: one step forward, two steps back.

    Layla Saad: I'm Layla Saad and my life is driven by one burning question. How can I become a good ancestor? How can I create a legacy of healing and liberation? For those who are here in this lifetime? And those who will come after I'm gone? In my pursuit to answer this question, I'm interviewing changemakers and culture shapers, who are also exploring that question for themselves in the way that they live and lead their life. It's my intention that these conversations will help you find your own answers to that question too. Welcome to Good Ancestor Podcast. Welcome, good ancestors. Today I'm speaking with the American novelist of one of my favorite fiction books of 2020. Kylie Reid. Kylie is a graduate of the Iowa Writers Workshop, where she was the recipient of the Truman Capote fellowship. She's the author of The New York Times bestseller, Such A Fun Age, which explores the relationship between a young black babysitter and her well intentioned white employer. If you're anything like me, you'll find yourself laughing, cringing, crying, and cheering when reading her book, as it explores racism in the awkward and uncomfortable ways it shows up in everyday life. Such A Fun Age is currently in development by Lena Waithe Hillman Grad Productions and Sight Unseen Pictures. The novel was long listed for the 2020 Booker Prize, the finalist for the New York Public Library's 2020 Young Lions fiction award, the VCU Cabell first novelist award, the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding literary work by a debut author, and the Mark Twain American voice in literature award.

This unorthodox undertaking uses a collection of detailed video-recorded, critical ethnographic, thematic life history oral histories from thirty residents, with ten participants selected for the first part, who survived, participated, chronicled, and/or attempted to restore law and order during the chaos. Interviewees assess, challenge, correct, and add to the metanarrative of urban uprising and the Detroit rebellion, which is overshadowed by an abundance of misinterpretations of Black life in the city, media perversions of Black agency and performance, and critiques of rioting rhetoric. Copyright by JOYCE-ZOË FARLEY 2020 This is for the city of Detroit, the summer interning at WXYZ ABC 7 Detroit, and its wonderful residents who provided me with an education, a project, and a career for a lifetime.

Black Panther as Spirit Trip Abstract This is one of a series of film reviews of Black Panther (2018), directed by Ryan Coogler. This review analyzes engagement with the movie as a religious experience and considers some political implications of both its storyline and reception. In particular, the piece focuses on constructions of race, especially in relationship to Africa and African Americans, as well as practical tensions around commodifying dissent. Keywords Black Panther, Marvel, Race, Superheroes, African-American, Disney, Social Justice, Wakanda, Colonialism, America Author Notes Laurel Zwissler is an assistant professor of Religion at Central Michigan University, USA. Her new book, Religious, Feminist, Activist: Cosmologies of Interconnection (University of Nebraska, Anthropology of North America Series), focuses on global justice activists and investigates contemporary intersections between religion, gender, and social justice politics, relating these to theoretical debates about religion in the public sphere. She is now building on this work with ethnographic research within the North American fair- trade movement, as well as occasional visits with contemporary Witchcraft ommc unities.

  • Mcs & Marx: Examining Rap from a Historical Materialistic Approach
    MCs & Marx: Examining Rap from a Historical Materialistic Approach Ryan “Mac” Keith McCann Plan II Honors Program & Religious Studies Honors Program The University of Texas at Austin April 29, 2016 _______________________________ Chad Seales, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of Religious Studies Supervising Professor 1 Abstract: Author: Ryan “Mac” Keith McCann Title: MCs & Marx: Examining Rap from a Historical Materialistic Approach Supervising Professor: Chad Seales, Ph.D. Hip-Hop culture, and especially the genre of rap music, is too often dismissed and denounced without being properly examined and understood. However, if engaged respectfully and thoughtfully, rap music can help us understand some of the complexities of American culture, especially with regards to race, economics, and consumerist religion. In this thesis, I inspect rap using Karl Marx’s historical materialism. This approach assumes that a society’s economic base, its material conditions, determines its superstructure, like culture, politics, religion, etc. Utilizing this methodological approach, in addition to studying other academic works on hip-hop, I analyzed a variety of rappers and their lyrics. After months of research, I have concluded that hip-hop is largely a reflection of its originators’ economic situations – or, in Marxist terms, hip-hop is a superstructure of its pioneers’ economic base. Because a culture’s values reflect its economic base, I believe that hip-hop and its consumerism have, in a sense, replaced the role of religion as one of the primary ways to present and define oneself. 2 Table of Contents While many of the topics intertwine and overlap, this essay is generally organized in the following order: 1.
