  • Gospel Music and the Sonic Fictions of Black Womanhood in Twentieth-Century African American Literature
    “UP ABOVE MY HEAD”: GOSPEL MUSIC AND THE SONIC FICTIONS OF BLACK WOMANHOOD IN TWENTIETH-CENTURY AFRICAN AMERICAN LITERATURE Kimberly Gibbs Burnett A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the degree requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature in the Graduate School. Chapel Hill 2020 Approved by: Danielle Christmas Florence Dore GerShun Avilez Glenn Hinson Candace Epps-Robertson ©2020 Kimberly Gibbs Burnett ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Kimberly Burnett: “Up Above My Head”: Gospel Music and the Sonic Fictions of Black Womanhood in TWentieth-Century African American Literature (Under the direction of Dr. Danielle Christmas) DraWing from DuBois’s Souls of Black Folk (1903), which highlighted the Negro spirituals as a means of documenting the existence of a soul for an African American community culturally reduced to their bodily functions, gospel music figures as a reminder of the narrative of black women’s struggle for humanity and of the literary markers of a black feminist ontology. As the attention to gospel music in texts about black women demonstrates, the material conditions of poverty and oppression did not exclude the existence of their spiritual value—of their claim to humanity that was not based on conduct or social decorum. At root, this project seeks to further the scholarship in sound and black feminist studies— applying concepts, such as saturation, break, and technology to the interpretation of black womanhood in the vernacular and cultural recordings of gospel in literature. Further, this dissertation seeks to offer neW historiography of black female development in tWentieth century literature—one which is shaped by a sounding culture that took place in choir stands, on radios in cramped kitchens, and on stages all across the nation.

  • Lloyd Richards in Rehearsal
    Lloyd Richards in Rehearsal by Everett C. Dixon A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Graduate Program in Theatre Studies, York University, Toronto, Ontario September 2013 © Everett Dixon, September 2013 Abstract This dissertation analyzes the rehearsal process of Caribbean-Canadian-American director Lloyd Richards (1919-2006), drawing on fifty original interviews conducted with Richards' artistic colleagues from all periods of his directing career, as well as on archival materials such as video-recordings, print and recorded interviews, performance reviews and unpublished letters and workshop notes. In order to frame this analysis, the dissertation will use Russian directing concepts of character, event and action to show how African American theatre traditions can be reformulated as directing strategies, thus suggesting the existence of a particularly African American directing methodology. The main analytical tool of the dissertation will be Stanislavsky's concept of "super-super­ objective," translated here as "larger thematic action," understood as an aesthetic ideal formulated as a call to action. The ultimate goal of the dissertation will be to come to an approximate formulation of Richards' "larger thematic action." Some of the artists interviewed are: Michael Schultz, Douglas Turner Ward, Woodie King, Jr., Dwight Andrews, Stephen Henderson, Thomas Richards, Scott Richards, James Earl Jones, Charles S. Dutton, Courtney B. Vance, Michele Shay, Ella Joyce, and others. Keywords: action, black aesthetics, black theatre movement, character, Dutton (Charles S.), event, Hansberry (Lorraine), Henderson (Stephen M.), Molette (Carlton W. and Barbara J.), Richards (Lloyd), Richards (Scott), Richards (Thomas), Jones (James Earl), Joyce (Ella), Vance (Courtney ii B.), Schultz (Michael), Shay (Michele), Stanislavsky (Konstantin), super-objective, theatre, Ward (Douglas Turner), Wilson (August).

  • Chicago Black Renaissance Literary Movement
    CHICAGO BLACK RENAISSANCE LITERARY MOVEMENT LORRAINE HANSBERRY HOUSE 6140 S. RHODES AVENUE BUILT: 1909 ARCHITECT: ALBERT G. FERREE PERIOD OF SIGNIFICANCE: 1937-1940 For its associations with the “Chicago Black Renaissance” literary movement and iconic 20th century African-American playwright Lorraine Hansberry (1930-1965), the Lorraine Hansberry House at 6140 S. Rhodes Avenue possesses exceptional historic and cultural significance. Lorraine Hansberry’s groundbreaking play, A Raisin in the Sun, was the first drama by an African American woman to be produced on Broadway. It grappled with themes of the Chicago Black Renaissance literary movement and drew directly from Hansberry’s own childhood experiences in Chicago. A Raisin in the Sun closely echoes the trauma that Hansberry’s own family endured after her father, Carl Hansberry, purchased a brick apartment building at 6140 S. Rhodes Avenue that was subject to a racially- discriminatory housing covenant. A three-year-long-legal battle over the property, challenging the enforceability of restrictive covenants that effectively sanctioned discrimination in Chicago’s segregated neighborhoods, culminated in 1940 with a United States Supreme Court decision and was a locally important victory in the effort to outlaw racially-discriminatory covenants in housing. Hansberry’s pioneering dramas forced the American stage to a new level of excellence and honesty. Her strident commitment to gaining justice for people of African descent, shaped by her family’s direct efforts to combat institutional racism and segregation, marked the final phase of the vibrant literary movement known as the Chicago Black Renaissance. Born of diverse creative and intellectual forces in Chicago’s African- American community from the 1930s through the 1950s, the Chicago Black Renaissance also yielded such acclaimed writers as Richard Wright (1908-1960) and Gwendolyn Brooks (1917-2000), as well as pioneering cultural institutions like the George Cleveland Hall Branch Library.

Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Margaret Wilkerson, dated January 17, 2013. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes.

  • Reviews of the 1959 Play
    ● A Raisin in the Sun, 1959 Reviews By Roberta Cunha A Raisin in the Sun premiered at The Mandell Weiss Theatre at the La Jolla Playhouse and it ​ also opened at the Barrymore Theatre in New York on March 11, 1959, running for 530 performances. Hansberry’s play was very popular and successful, and she won the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for best play of the year, being the first Black woman to win this award, in 1960, and Hamberry’s play was also nominated for four Tony Awards: Best Play, Best Actor in a Play (Sidney Poitier), Best Actress in a Play (Claudia McNeil), and Best Direction of a Play (Lloyd Richards). One critic for the New York Times stated that A Raisin in the Sun “changed American theater forever” and represented a huge change for Black artists in the theater. The producers did not expect the play to become this popular and it received many mixed reviews by the audience, arguing that it was only for “African-American Experiences” and that it was not an universal play. In additional to that, in 1979 the play was restricted in a Utah school when it was criticized by an anti-pornography group, and in 2005, the play was also baned in an Illinois high school because principals argued that it is degrading to African Americans. Marylin Stasio, a critic from Variety Magazine, accentuates the importance of A Raisin in the Sun being the first play an African American woman to be produced on Broadway. The article further explains the play’s winning of the New York Drama Critics Circle’s award for best play, and how that also helps to bring attention to minorities.

  • African-American Theater & the Deconstruction
    AFRICAN-AMERICAN THEATER & THE DECONSTRUCTION OF THE AMERICAN DREAM Marcela Iochem Valente1 Abstract: Lorraine Hansberry was an African-American playwright who used her plays as a way of protest against the injustice towards the African descendants in the USA and fought against the prejudice and discrimination faced by her people at that time. Her work was a site for many discussions that were very relevant to further movements such as the civil rights one. She showed in her work that al- though the USA was supposed to be the Land of Opportunity, the prosperity of this land as well as the ideals from the American Dream were not available the same way to all citizens, just to those who could fit the mainstream American stereotype. This article is going to show that Theater can be an important way of self-representation, a site for relevant discussions, and a way of subverting patri- archal discourses. Key words: African-American Theater, American Dream, the Land of Opportunity, deconstruction, Lorraine Hansberry. Resumo: Lorraine Hansberry foi uma escritora afro-americana que fez de suas peças uma forma de protesto contra as injustiças sofridas pelos descendentes a- fricanos nos EUA além de lutar contra o preconceito e a discriminação vividos por seu povo. Sua obra foi palco para diversas discussões de grande relevância para movimentos que vieram a ocorrer posteriormente como por exemplo o movimento pelos direitos humanos. Ela mostrou que embora os EUA fossem vis- tos com a terra das oportunidades, a prosperidade desse país, assim como os i- deais do Sonho Americano, não estavam disponíveis da mesma maneira para to- dos os cidadãos, mas apenas para aqueles que pudessem se enquadrar nos padrões tidos como americanos.
