    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. Be aware it’s the same text but from another edition of the book, so it has other pagination. Enjoy and share it everywhere!

  • Beyond Inclusion: an In-Depth Analysis of Teaching of Audre Lorde, Toni Cade Bambara, June Jordan, and Adrienne Rich
    Yale College Education Studies Program Senior Capstone Projects Student Research Spring 2020 Beyond Inclusion: An In-Depth Analysis of Teaching of Audre Lorde, Toni Cade Bambara, June Jordan, and Adrienne Rich Sarah Mele Yale College, New Haven Connecticut Abstract: This capstone will analyze interventions into university pedagogy based on the teaching practices of Audre Lorde, Toni Cade Bambara, June Jordan, and Adrienne Rich. It begins with a historical introduction to the role of these four women in university activism in the late 1960s and early 1970s inside and outside the classroom. Analysis of the development of Black Studies and university pedagogy since this time reveals gaps in the fulfillment of the student-driven movement’s goal that are still extremely relevant to questions of institutional power and access today. Next, this paper provides concrete pedagogical and methodological strategies for present day university teaching grounded in the work of these four revolutionary women. This portion will pull from archival research of teaching materials, notes, and correspondence as well as subsequent scholarship on pedagogy. Suggested Citation: Mele, S. (2020). Beyond Inclusion: An In-Depth Analysis of Teaching of Audre Lorde, Toni Cade Bambara, June Jordan, and Adrienne Rich (Unpublished Education Studies capstone). Yale University, New Haven, CT. This capstone is a work of Yale student research. The arguments and research in the project are those of the individual student.

  • Global Feminism, Comparatism, and the Master's Tools
    15 Compared to What? Global Feminism, Comparatism, and the Master's Tools SUSAN SNIADER LANSER And rain is the very thing that you, just now, do not want, for you are thinking of the hard and cold and dark and long days you spent working in North America (or, worse, Europe), earning some money so that you could stay in this place (Antigua) where the sun always shines and where the climate is deliciously hot and dry ...and since you are on your holiday, since you are a tourist, the thought of what it might be like for someone who had to live day in, day out in a place that suffers constantly from drought ...must never cross your mind. And you leave, and from afar you watch as we do to ourselves the very things you used to do to us. And you might feel that there was more to you than that, you might feel that you had understood the meaning of the Age of Enlightenment (though, as far as I can see, it has done you very little good); you loved knowl­ edge, and wherever you went you made sure to build a school, a library (yes, and in both of these places you distorted or erased my history and glorified your own). As for what we were like before we met you, I no longer care. No periods of time over which my ancestors held sway, no doc­ umentation of complex civilisations, is any comfort to me. Even if I really came from people who were living like monkeys in trees, it was better to be that than what happened to me, what I became after I met you.

  • Orpheu Et Al. Modernism, Women, and the War
    Orpheu et al. Modernism, Women, and the War M. Irene Ramalho-Santos* Keywords Little magazines, Poetry, Modernism, The Great War, Society, Sexual mores. Abstract The article takes off from Orpheu, the little magazine at the origin of Portuguese modernism, to reflect, from a comparative perspective, on the development of modernist poetry in the context of the Great War and the social changes evolving during the first decades of the twentieth century on both sides of the Atlantic. Palavras-chave “Little magazines,” Poesia, Modernismo, A Grande Guerra, Sociedade, Costumes sexuais. Resumo O artigo parte de Orpheu, a revista que dá origem ao modernismo português, para reflectir, numa perspectiva comparada, soBre o desenvolvimento da poesia modernista no contexto da Grande Guerra e das mudanças sociais emergentes nas primeiras décadas do século XX dos dois lados do Atlântico. * Universidade de CoimBra; University of Wisconsin-Madison. Ramalho Santos Orpheu et al. It is frequently repeated in the relevant scholarship that Western literary and artistic modernism started in little magazines.1 The useful online Modernist Journals Project (Brown University / Tulsa University), dealing so far only with American and British magazines, uses as its epigraph the much quoted phrase: “modernism began in the magazines”, see SCHOLES and WULFMAN (2010) and BROOKER and THACKER (2009-2013). With two issues published in 1915 and a third one stopped that same year in the galley proofs for lack of funding, the Portuguese little magazine Orpheu inaugurated modernism in Portugal pretty much at the same time as all the other major little magazines in Europe and the United States. This is interesting, given the proverbial belatedness of Portuguese accomplishments, and no less interesting the fact that, like everywhere else, Orpheu was followed, in Portugal as well, By a number of other little magazines.

  • DIETING Does It Really Work? “Everyone Knows Diets Don’T Work
    NEWSLETTER OF THE UCLA CENTER FOR THE DEC07 STUDY OF WOMEN BY A. JANET TOMIYAMA CSW DIETING Does it really work? “Everyone knows diets don’t work. All they do is stress you out.” This judgment, uttered by the inimitable Oprah Winfrey, characterizes a vast number of women’s experiences with dieting. The weight comes off initially and then seems to rebound right back, making the entire miserable experience for naught. The common perception that diets don’t work seems to be acknowledged (if not accepted) by women everywhere. Contrast this to the world of medical research, which operates on the “calories in, calories out” principle. If one reduces the calories going into one’s body and increases the calories that are burned, the net loss in calories must necessarily lead to weight loss. To the medical world, this is biology, and biology is irrefutable. This is why a vast number of physicians recommend dieting as a treatment for obesity and why a large body of medical research exists that puts people on low-calorie restrictive diets to treat obesity. I, along with my advisor Traci Mann and other collaborators, noticed this contradiction and decided to figure out once and for all whether calorie-restricting 1 DEC07 IN THIS ISSUE , 3-4 4-8 9-2 DEPARTMENTS Faculty Notes: News . .17 2 DEC07 DIRECTOR’S COMMENTARY Bloody Footprints: Turning Advertising to Activism This fall, CSW’s programming focused on and the sexual exploitation of women . economy, and accessibility of Galindo’s art and activism and featured, among Galindo uses her body for these actions, work .
