  • Our Kind of People: Social Status and Class Awareness in Post -Reconstruction African American Fiction
    OUR KIND OF PEOPLE: SOCIAL STATUS AND CLASS AWARENESS IN POST -RECONSTRUCTION AFRICAN AMERICAN FICTION Andreá N. Williams A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English Chapel Hill 2006 Approved by Advisor: William L. Andrews Reader: James W. Coleman Reader: Philip F. Gura Reader: Trudier Harris Reader: Jane F. Thrailkill © 2006 Andreá N. Williams ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT ANDREÁ N. WILLIAMS: Our Kind of People: Social Status and Class Awareness in Post -Reconstruction African American Fiction (Under the dir ection of William L. Andrews) Postbellum African American fiction provides an index to the complex attitudes toward social status and class divisions that arose within post -Civil War black communities. As I argue, African American narratives in the last quarter of the nineteenth century encode the discourse of class in discussions of respectability, labor, and discrimination. Conceiving of class as a concept that does not necessarily denote economic conditions, both well -known and largely ignored narrativ es of the period emphasize moral and ideological parameters for judging social distinctions. Writers theorize whether intraracial class stratification thwarts black sociopolitical advancement, fracturing black communities from within, or conversely, foster s racial uplift led by the black “better class.” Though the fiction variably delineates social classes, each of the texts under study in Our Kind of People imagines classification as an inevitable and useful means of reforming the turn -of-the-century Ameri can social order. Subverting the class disparity spurred by Gilded Age materialism, Frances E.

Willa Cather’s luminous prose is ‘easy’ to read yet surprisingly difficult to understand. The essays col- lected here are theoretically informed but accessibly written and cover the full range of Cather’s career, including most of her twelve novels and several of her short stories. The essays situate Cather’s work in a broad range of critical, cultural, and literary contexts, and the introduction explores current trends in Cather scholarship as well as the author’s place in contemporary culture. With a detailed chronology and a guide to further reading, the volume offers students and teachers a fresh and thorough sense of the author of My Antonia´ , The Professor’s House, and Death Comes for the Archbishop. © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 052182110X - The Cambridge Companion to Willa Cather Edited by Marilee Lindemann Frontmatter More information THE CAMBRIDGE COMPANION TO WILLA CATHER EDITED BY MARILEE LINDEMANN © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 052182110X - The Cambridge Companion to Willa Cather Edited by Marilee Lindemann Frontmatter More information cambridge university press Cambridge, New York, Melbourne, Madrid, Cape Town, Singapore, Sao˜ Paulo Cambridge University Press The Edinburgh Building, Cambridge cb2 2ru,UK Published in the United States of America by Cambridge University Press, New York www.cambridge.org Information on this title: www.cambridge.org/9780521527934 C Cambridge University Press 2005 This book is in copyright.

  • Q: Today Is the 30Th of January 2006
    The Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training Foreign Affairs Oral History Project AMBASSADOR MARC GROSSMAN Interviewed by: Charles Stuart Kennedy Initial interview date: January 30, 2006 Copyright 2016 ADST Q: Today is the 30th of January 2006. This is an interview with Marc Grossman done on behalf of the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training and I’m Charles Stuart Kennedy. You go by Marc? GROSSMAN: I do. Q: What happens, why are some Marcs spelled with a C and some with a K? Do you have any idea? GROSSMAN: My dad always said it was his contribution to culture. Q: Okay. Well, we’ll start talking about him but first, when and where were you born? GROSSMAN: I was born in September of 1951 in Los Angeles, California. Q: Where in Los Angeles? GROSSMAN: In East Los Angeles. My parents lived in Pico Rivera, or then, just Pico. Q: Okay. Let’s talk about your, sort of your background. On your family’s side, let’s talk about the father’s family, the Grossmans. Do you have any idea where they came from? GROSSMAN: We have a vague idea. Both of my father’s parents, my grandmother and grandfather, were immigrants to the United States. They came separately from Chernowitz, which is now Ukraine but my father believes at the time of their immigration it was Romania. I think they came to the United States in the 1920s. They moved to New York, met in the US and settled in the Bronx. They then moved, first to Arizona and then to California in the 1940s, where my grandfather used to sew.

Please note that over the years, the content of the boxes has been described in different ways and are not consistent. The “card” column used to refer to a set of card catalogs that documented our holdings of particular paper materials: press book, posters, continuity, reviews, and other. The majority of this information has been entered into our Merged Audiovisual Information System (MAVIS) database. Boxes indicating “MAVIS” in the last column have catalog records within the new database. To locate material, use the CTRL-F function to search the document by keyword, title, or format. Paper and manuscript materials are also listed in the MAVIS database. This database is only accessible on-site in the Moving Image Research Center. If you are unable to locate a specific item in this inventory, please contact the reading room.
