Literature Review PERCEPTIONS OF AFRICAN AMERICAN FEMALES: AN EXAMINATION OF BLACK WOMEN‘S IMAGES IN RAP MUSIC VIDEOS A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Marquita Marie Pellerin May, 2011 Examining Committee Members: Anthony Monteiro, Advisory Chair, African American Studies Maxwell Stanford, African American Studies Kimmika Williams-Witherspoon, Theater Marcia Sutherland, External Member, SUNY Albany Africana Studies ii © Copyright 2011 by Marquita M. Pellerin All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Utilizing an Afrocentric methodological framework, this dissertation research seeks to examine the general public perceptions of African American women as reflected in rap music videos, and to determine how African American females perceive the images that are presented of them in rap music videos. This study explores Black women‘s representation through analyses of top ten rap music videos from January to September 2010 and conceptualizes the effects of these representations on Black female viewers. This study also explores the reception of Black women‘s images in rap music videos as they are potentially exported to other cultures. This project is a multi-method examination including questionnaires and focus group sessions, exploring the effect of rap music video content on the representation of African American women, society‘s perceptions of African American females, and how when given an opportunity to construct their own media image, how would African women be represented. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I wish to thank my family and friends for their support and encouragement throughout this educational process.

  • From the Baffler No. 23, 2013]
    Facebook Feminism, Like It or Not SUSAN FALUDI [from The Baffler No. 23, 2013] The congregation swooned as she bounded on stage, the prophet sealskin sleek in her black skinny ankle pants and black ballet flats, a lavalier microphone clipped to the V-neck of her black button-down sweater. ―All right!! Let‘s go!!‖ she exclaimed, throwing out her arms and pacing the platform before inspirational graphics of glossy young businesswomen in managerial action poses. ―Super excited to have all of you here!!‖ ―Whoo!!‖ the young women in the audience replied. The camera, which was livestreaming the event in the Menlo Park, California, auditorium to college campuses worldwide, panned the rows of well-heeled Stanford University econ majors and MBA candidates. Some clutched copies of the day‘s hymnal: the speaker‘s new book, which promised to dismantle ―internal obstacles‖ preventing them from ―acquiring power.‖ The atmosphere was TED-Talk-cum-tent-revival-cum- Mary-Kay-cosmetics-convention. The salvation these adherents sought on this April day in 2013 was admittance to the pearly gates of the corporate corner office. ―Stand up,‖ the prophet instructed, ―if you‘ve ever said out loud, to another human being—and you have to have said it out loud—‗I am going to be the number one person in my field. I will be the CEO of a major company. I will be governor. I will be the number one person in my field.‘‖ A small, although not inconsiderable, percentage of the young women rose to their feet. The speaker consoled those still seated; she, too, had once been one of them.

  • MNL and PMA Recommend That All Municipal Offices and Public Facilities Should Now Be Closed to the Public Including Appointments
    Updated: May 1, 2020 1. WHAT ARE THE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MUNICIPAL OPERATIONS AND STAFFING? MNL and PMA recommend that all municipal offices and public facilities should now be closed to the public including appointments. Business continuity planning in the case of an emergency, if available, should now be in place. All municipalities should explore and encourage banking online or through the phone, or payments through cheque/money order if online banking is not a possibility. Where and when possible, office staff should be working from home. If staff cannot work from home, advised social distancing guidelines and hygiene practices should be maintained in the office. Public works and outside staff should follow social distancing and hygiene practices and should work from home on an on-call basis, when possible. Update May 1, 2020: MNL is seeking further clarification on the role of municipalities in reopening and what reopening means for municipal operations. 2. WE ARE A SMALL COMMUNITY WITH A SMALL MAINTENANCE STAFF. IF OUR STAFF BECOME ILL, WHAT SHOULD WE DO? Ensure anyone who is feeling ill calls 811 and self-isolates for their protection and the protection of others. Reach out to neighbouring communities now to discuss whether there is an opportunity to share staff across the region should the need arise – particularly for critical services like drinking water. Mutual aid agreements can be helpful in these situations. If all or a large portion of your staff fall ill, you will have to curtail services unless you are able to work out an arrangement with neighbouring municipalities. If you are unable to find another solution, contact the Department of Municipal Affairs and Environment.

  • Manaboutworld PALM SPRINGS 2015.Pdf
    Palm Springs: The ManAboutWorld Insiders Guide Palm Springs’ heyday may have begun with the early movie stars of TV, but the town’s gay renaissance began in the 1980s, when gay Angelenos started buying the mid-century modern homes in a then seedy and run downtown. Today, Palm Springs is a stylish and popular weekend getaway in season, from September through May, and never more glorious than it is right now. When LA is a “chilly” 68-70° in the winter and spring, Angelenos head to sunny Palm Springs for warm swimming pool weather. Despite its reputation as a major gay destination, at times it seems like there’s not much there, there — because there isn’t. Palm Springs is still a relatively small city, with a population of under 50,000 residents. The few gay bars and clubs it has are often deserted mid-week, even in season, and when the temperature soars in the summer, the town really slows down. But that slow pace is at the heart of Palm Springs’ appeal. This is a place to go when you want to do little more than relax by the pool, under a stunning vista of mountains and desert. There’s also tennis and golf, and just enough other active, cultural and shopping distractions for those who can’t sit still, and a large concentration of mid-century modern design, making it a world capital for those who share that fetish. For gay visitors, Palm Springs offers the largest concentration of gay resorts in the world: 22 small hotels and guesthouses catering primarily or exclusively to gay men.
