  • CHAPTER 8 FLORIDA Florida First Emerged on the Presidential
    CHAPTER 8 FLORIDA Florida first emerged on the presidential primary scene in 1988, when it was one of the southern states that participated in the first-ever Super Tuesday. Four years later, in 1992, Florida was propelled to the front rank of important primary states when the news media selected it for the final showdown between Governor Bill Clinton of Arkansas and former- U.S. Senator Paul Tsongas of Massachusetts. In the 1992 race for the Democratic nomination for president, Paul Tsongas got off to a fast start by winning the New Hampshire primary. Tsongas next won the Maryland primary, but that same day Bill Clinton swept to victory in the southern state of Georgia. The two candidates thus were running neck and neck when they faced off against one another in Florida on the second Tuesday in March. Although located in the South and one of the states that seceded from the Union during the American Civil War, Florida is not considered a typical southern state by voting-behavior analysts. The major reason for this is the large number of former northern voters who have moved to South Florida, either to retire or to enjoy the outdoor lifestyle of one of the fastest-growing states in the nation. These former northerners were viewed as ripe targets for the Paul Tsongas campaign. His heavy Massachusetts accent would not sound quite so strange to them, and his New Hampshire and Maryland primary victories already had demonstrated his strong appeal to people from the northern part of the nation. Furthermore, in the 1988 presidential elec- tion, Florida had voted for Democratic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis, like Tsongas a Greek from Massachusetts.

  • Diane Arbus: Documenting the Abnormal
    Hollins University Hollins Digital Commons Art History Senior Papers Art Spring 2021 Diane Arbus: Documenting the Abnormal Lyla Cornman Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.hollins.edu/art_history_senior_papers Part of the Contemporary Art Commons Lyla Cornman Art History Senior Paper Diane Arbus: Documenting the Abnormal The late Diane Arbus once said, “Everybody has that thing where they need to look one way but they come out looking another way and that’s what people observe. You see someone on the street and essentially what you notice about them is the flaw…there’s a point between what you want people to know about you and what you can’t help people knowing about you.”1 Arbus was aware that no one is exempt from others’ gaze, including herself, a theme repeated throughout her work. In this essay, I will be examining the work of Diane Arbus that showed intimate snippets of the lives of those that would be labeled as “freaks”, “disabled”, “handicapped”, “grotesque”, and other terms that were often used to be degrading or dehumanizing. I will be specifically focusing on her photographs that depict subjects with visual bodily ‘abnormalities’ as well as disabled bodies. Diane Arbus, according to her critics, is one of the first key figures to have focused her work on people with such visual differences, living their daily life, through the evidential medium of photography. I argue that the criticisms Diane Arbus faced from art critics, institutions, and the public for her work were unfair. Those who criticized Arbus did so unjustly, for they compared the people Arbus photographed to a traditional standard of beauty found in art.

  • Proudly for Brooke: Race-Conscious Campaigning in 1960S Massachusetts --Manuscript Draft
    Journal of Race, Ethnicity, and Politics Proudly for Brooke: Race-Conscious Campaigning in 1960s Massachusetts --Manuscript Draft-- Manuscript Number: JREP-D-16-00087R1 Full Title: Proudly for Brooke: Race-Conscious Campaigning in 1960s Massachusetts Article Type: Research Article Corresponding Author: Richard Johnson Oxford University Oxford, UNITED KINGDOM Corresponding Author Secondary Information: Corresponding Author's Institution: Oxford University Corresponding Author's Secondary Institution: First Author: Richard Johnson First Author Secondary Information: Order of Authors: Richard Johnson Order of Authors Secondary Information: Abstract: Scholars have credited the victory of Edward Brooke, America's first popularly elected black United States senator, to a 'deracialised' or 'colour-blind' election strategy in which both the candidate and the electorate ignored racial matters. This article revises this prevailing historical explanation of Brooke's election. Drawing from the historical- ideational paradigm of Desmond King and Rogers Smith, this paper argues that Brooke was much more of a 'race-conscious' candidate than is generally remembered. Primary documents from the 1966 campaign reveal that Brooke spoke openly against racial inequality, arguing in favour of racially targeted policies and calling for stronger racial equality legislation. In addition, this paper argues that Brooke's appeals were not targeted primarily to the state's small black population but to liberal whites. Far from ignoring race, internal campaign documents and interviews with campaign staff reveal that Brooke's campaign strategists sought to appeal to white desires to 'do the right thing' by electing an African American. Internal polling documents from the Brooke campaign and newspaper commentaries further demonstrate that a proportion of the white electorate cited Brooke's race as the reason for supporting his candidacy.
