    NOTES FOR THE DOWNLOADERS: This book is made of different sources. First, we got the scanned pages from fuckyeahradicalliterature.tumblr.com. Second, we cleaned them up and scanned the missing chapters (Entering the Lives of Others and El Mundo Zurdo). Also, we replaced the images for new better ones. Unfortunately, our copy of the book has La Prieta, from El Mundo Zurdo, in a bad quality, so we got it from scribd.com.

LERUD A DISSERTATION Presented to the Department of English and the Graduate School of the University of Oregon in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy June 2017 DISSERTATION APPROVAL PAGE Student: Elizabeth J. LeRud Title: Antagonistic Cooperation: Prose in American Poetry This dissertation has been accepted and approved in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy degree in the English Department by: Karen J. Ford Chair Forest Pyle Core Member William Rossi Core Member Geri Doran Institutional Representative and Scott L. Pratt Dean of the Graduate School Original approval signatures are on file with the University of Oregon Graduate School. Degree awarded June 2017. ii © 2017 Elizabeth J. LeRud iii DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Elizabeth J. LeRud Doctor of Philosophy Department of English June 2017 Title: Antagonistic Cooperation: Prose in American Poetry Poets and critics have long agreed that any perceived differences between poetry and prose are not essential to those modes: both are comprised of words, both may be arranged typographically in various ways—in lines, in paragraphs of sentences, or otherwise—and both draw freely from the complete range of literary styles and tools, like rhythm, sound patterning, focalization, figures, imagery, narration, or address. Yet still, in modern American literature, poetry and prose remain entrenched as a binary, one just as likely to be invoked as fact by writers and scholars as by casual readers. I argue that this binary is not only prevalent but also productive for modern notions of poetry, the root of many formal innovations of the past two centuries, like the prose poem and free verse.

  • Dedication of Light to Amiri Baraka
    Dedication of Light to Amiri Baraka You dream of meeting certain people. Amiri Baraka was on my bucket list. When I decided to create a Black Arts Movement Conference at UC Merced, the truth was it was an opportunity to meet my Heroes and Sheroes. Marvin X, the west coast co-founder of the Black Arts Movement asked Amiri to come to UC Merced, and he immediately said yes, as did Ishmael Reed, Eugene Redmond, Jerry Varnardo, Jimmy Garrett, Umar Bin Hassan, Askia Toure, Genny Lim, Emory Douglas, Billy X. Jennings, Adilah Barnes, Tarika Lewis, Avotcja, Charlotte “Mama C” O’Neal, Nathan Hare, Cecil Brown, and a host of other Black Arts Movement and Black Power luminaries. Why did they come to a small city in California’s San Joaquin Valley? This may seem farfetched, but it was about community. A feeling of belonging to something greater, a distant space in time that spoke of revolution, the liberation of a colonized people, and the need to connect. Many of the writers, activists, and artists had not seen each other in over forty years but connected through the pain, the hope, and the belief that they had a mission, the liberation of African Americans from oppression. Askia Toure spoke to students at UC Merced stating, “We let you down. It is up to you to fulfill what we tried to do.” Toure spoke as a freedom fighter, one who in the past went underground to survive. With Toure in this fight were Amiri Baraka, Sonia Sanchez, Larry Neal, and men and women who believed that they were in the midst of a revolution.

However, if the priest is obligated to report the crime, a victim, who does not want the publicity, would choose to avoid discussing the abuse with a priest altogether. Currently, during the Sacrament of Confession, the victim knows that all Catholic priests have taken a Vow of confidentiality with regards to whatever is discussed during the Sacrament of Confession. lf the Recommendation 7.4 becames taw, the victim will once again be frustrated and could lead to suicide, at worst.

  • Asian Americans and Creative Music Legacies
    UC Irvine UC Irvine Previously Published Works Title Asian Americans and Creative Music Legacies Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7hf4q6w5 Journal Critical Studies in Improvisation / Études critiques en improvisation, 1(3) Author Dessen, MJ Publication Date 2006 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Critical Studies in Improvisation / Études critiques en improvisation, Vol 1, No 3 (2006) Asian Americans and Creative Music Legacies Michael Dessen, Hampshire College Introduction Throughout the twentieth century, African American improvisers not only created innovative musical practices, but also—often despite staggering odds—helped shape the ideas and the economic infrastructures which surrounded their own artistic productions. Recent studies such as Eric Porter’s What is this Thing Called Jazz? have begun to document these musicians’ struggles to articulate their aesthetic philosophies, to support and educate their communities, to create new audiences, and to establish economic and cultural capital. Through studying these histories, we see new dimensions of these artists’ creativity and resourcefulness, and we also gain a richer understanding of the music. Both their larger goals and the forces working against them—most notably the powerful legacies of systemic racism—all come into sharper focus. As Porter’s book makes clear, African American musicians were active on these multiple fronts throughout the entire century. Yet during the 1960s, bolstered by the Civil Rights
