  • Now That's a Good Girl: Discourses of African American Women, HIV/AIDS, and Respectability
    Now That’s a Good Girl: Discourses of African American Women, HIV/AIDS, and Respectability A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Ayana K. Weekley IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Jigna Desai, Adviser August 2010 © Ayana K. Weekley 2010 Acknowledgements There are many, many people and institutions that played a role in my completion of this dissertation. First, I want to say thank you to my adviser, Jigna Desai. Jigna has guided me intellectually since 2004 and has always both challenged, encouraged me and treated me with respect. My success in scholarship and teaching is largely due to her. Jigna, I am lucky to have been held to your academic standards. Second, is my co-adviser, Gwendolyn Pough. Gwen made sure I came to the Feminist Studies Program and immediately assumed the role of adviser when I began. While Gwen moved to another institution, she remained on my committee and worked closely with me throughout my dissertation process. Gwen, without your early support in this process I surely would not have made it over all the hurdles. Various programs and institutions provided the financial support that made it possible for me to have time to research and write. They include the McNair Undergraduate Research Opportunity Programs at Truman State University and the University of New Hampshire, Durham; the Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Department at the University of Minnesota; MacArthur Scholars Fellowship, MacArthur Interdisciplinary Program on Global Change, Sustainability and Justice, University of Minnesota; the HECUA Philanthropy and Human Rights Fellowship, the Woodrow Wilson Women's Studies Dissertation Fellowship; The Frederick Douglass Institute for African and African American Studies Pre-Doctoral Fellowship at the University of Rochester; and the Presidential Fellowship at the State University of New York, Brockport.

    ABSTRACT PEARL CLEAGE’S A SONG FOR CORETTA: CULTURAL PERFORMATIVITY AS HISTORIOGRAPHICAL DOCUMENTATION by Khalid Yaya Long This creative thesis functions as a two-part exploration of locating the intersection of theory and practice as it relates to the overlapping of theatre, performance, and African American studies. This thesis was accompanied with Miami University’s 2010 production of A Song for Coretta. With a specific focus on playwright Pearl Cleage and her play, A Song for Coretta, this thesis examines how African American history, culture, and experiences become an integral part of the total theatre process; be it playwriting, performing, researching, or directing.
