Summer Reading 08:Summer Reading 04.Qxd.Qxd Western Reserve Academy Summer Reading Program 2008 Western Reserve Academy Summer Reading 2008 Most members of the Reserve community find pleasure in reading. For those of us tied to the academic calendar, summers and holidays give us what we need most – time. With that in mind, we offer students this booklet of recommended books for summer reading. This list is intended to be for student LEISURE reading. We hope students will find titles that will peak their interest, expand their horizons and capture their curiosity. Some titles are included just for the fun of it – titles that offer enter- tainment, escape and enjoyment. Other titles are included to broaden student hori- zons – titles to provide insight into history, science, social issues and the lives of others. Several titles offer insight into other places around the world – titles to increase awareness of different cultures in our global society. And finally many “classic” titles are included – titles to acquaint students with some of the “best” literature in the world. This list is updated annually by the John D. Ong Library staff and is intend- ed to provide some variety: “classic” to recently published titles, relatively easy to challenging reading levels, and fiction, non-fiction and biography selections covering diverse subjects. Also included is a list of recommended websites to locate further suggestions for award-winning books and titles in specific genres. Several of these titles have been suggested over the years by WRA students, faculty members and their families and the WRA librarians. Others are award- winning or “best” titles recommended by respected review sources including the Young Adult Library Services Association, a division of the American Library Association. A few titles have frank passages that mirror some aspects of life explicitly. Therefore, we urge parents to explore the titles your teenagers choose and discuss the book as well as the choice with them. In general, books included in the WRA curriculum are not listed. However, the English Department will have a REQUIRED summer reading assign- ment for students. This information will be mailed to students and is also available on Summer Reading link listed below. Look for Summer Reading – Required. This list is accessible on the Ong Library home page at http://library.wra.net and then by selecting Library Publications/Summer Reading/Leisure Reading. Lists from previous years are accessible as well. All the books on this list should be available in libraries and/or bookstores. Check the Ong Library home page for summer hours; students are welcome. Enjoy your summer, your free time and try to spend some of it reading. Your feedback about any title on this list is welcome – and we also welcome your rec- Western Reserve Academy adheres to a longstanding policy of admitting students of any race, color, creed, religion, national and ethnic origin subject to all the rights, privileges, programs and activi- ommendations for titles to add in the future. ties generally accorded or made available to students at the school.

  • American Book Awards 2004
    BEFORE COLUMBUS FOUNDATION PRESENTS THE AMERICAN BOOK AWARDS 2004 America was intended to be a place where freedom from discrimination was the means by which equality was achieved. Today, American culture THE is the most diverse ever on the face of this earth. Recognizing literary excel- lence demands a panoramic perspective. A narrow view strictly to the mainstream ignores all the tributaries that feed it. American literature is AMERICAN not one tradition but all traditions. From those who have been here for thousands of years to the most recent immigrants, we are all contributing to American culture. We are all being translated into a new language. BOOK Everyone should know by now that Columbus did not “discover” America. Rather, we are all still discovering America—and we must continue to do AWARDS so. The Before Columbus Foundation was founded in 1976 as a nonprofit educational and service organization dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of contemporary American multicultural literature. The goals of BCF are to provide recognition and a wider audience for the wealth of cultural and ethnic diversity that constitutes American writing. BCF has always employed the term “multicultural” not as a description of an aspect of American literature, but as a definition of all American litera- ture. BCF believes that the ingredients of America’s so-called “melting pot” are not only distinct, but integral to the unique constitution of American Culture—the whole comprises the parts. In 1978, the Board of Directors of BCF (authors, editors, and publishers representing the multicultural diversity of American Literature) decided that one of its programs should be a book award that would, for the first time, respect and honor excellence in American literature without restric- tion or bias with regard to race, sex, creed, cultural origin, size of press or ad budget, or even genre.

  • Confronting Convention: Discourse and Innovation in Contemporary Native American Women's Theatre by Tiffany Noell a Dissertati
    Confronting Convention: Discourse and Innovation in Contemporary Native American Women's Theatre by Tiffany Noell A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved April 2011 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Tamara Underiner, Chair Bryan Brayboy Stephani Woodson ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2011 ABSTRACT In this dissertation, I focus on a subset of Native American theatre, one that concentrates on peoples of mixed heritages and the place(s) between worlds that they inhabit. As it is an emergent field of research, one goal of this project is to illuminate its range and depth through an examination of three specific points of focus – plays by Elvira and Hortencia Colorado (Chichimec Otomí/México/US), who create theatre together; Diane Glancy (Cherokee/US); and Marie Clements (Métis/Canada). These plays explore some of the possibilities of (hi)story, culture, and language within the theatrical realm across Turtle Island (North America). I believe the playwrights' positionalities in the liminal space between Native and non-Native realms afford these playwrights a unique ability to facilitate cross-cultural dialogues through recentering Native stories and methodologies. I examine the theatrical works of this select group of mixed heritage playwrights, while focusing on how they open up dialogue(s) between cultures, the larger cultural discourses with which they engage, and their innovations in creating these dialogues. While each playwright features specific mixed heritage characters in certain plays, the focus is generally on the subject matter – themes central to current Native and mixed heritage daily realities. I concentrate on where they engage in cross-cultural discourses and innovations; while there are some common themes across the dissertation, the specific points of analysis are exclusive to each chapter.
