The Racialization of Jimi Hendrix Abstract The period of history immediately following World War Two was a time of intense social change. The nde of colonialism, the internal struggles of newly emerging independent nations in Africa, social and political changes across Europe, armed conflict in Southeast Asia, and the civil rights movement in America were just a few. Although many of the above conflicts have been in the making for quite some time, they seemed to unite to form a socio-political cultural revolution known as the 60s, the effects of which continues to this day. The 1960s asw a particularly intense time for race relations in the United States. Long before it officially became a republic, in matters of race, white America collectively had trouble reconciling what it practiced versus what it preached. Nowhere is this racial contradiction more apparent than in the case of Jimi Hendrix. Jimi Hendrix is emblematic of the racial ideal and the racial contradictions of the 1960s.

  • Prophetic Prolepsis and Peace” by Rev
    “Prophetic Prolepsis and Peace” By Rev. Elizabeth D. McLean, Prince of Peace Presbyterian Church 12-9-18 Second Sunday of Advent Based upon Luke 1:57-80; Rom. 14:17-19 Last week we began the Advent season by hearing the prophet Jeremiah’s hope-inspiring assurance that God keeps God’s promises. This week, Zechariah, a priest who lived about 600 or so years after Jeremiah, celebrates those promises fulfilled both with his name, which means “God remembered” in Hebrew, and with his song, which has been known throughout the centuries as “the Benedictus” after the first word of his proclamation in Latin. Luke wrote his birth narrative like a musical, in which the key players burst into song as spontaneously and uncontrollably as the characters in the great Rogers and Hammerstein classics do. Mary hears the news she’s going to bear a Savior, and she starts to sing. Zechariah is so moved at his son’s naming ceremony that he too, cannot help but sing. No one knows if they really sang a note or spoke a word in those moments, of course, but the canticles about the Good News that Luke put on their lips have lifted hearts and inspired minds for millennia. Zechariah, as I told the children, was John the Baptist’s father. One of the reasons he was so happy at John’s naming ceremony is that he was finally able to speak or sing after nine months of holy silencing. The angel Gabriel had rendered him mute for the duration of Elizabeth’s pregnancy because when Gabriel had announced that Elizabeth, who was both old and barren, was going to bear a son who would be “great in the sight of the Lord,” Zechariah had had the nerve to ask, “How will I know that this is so?” For the record, Mary asked almost the same thing when Gabriel told her she was going to bear the Savior of the world, and she was not punished for her inquiry.

  • Some Economics of Flag Burning and Jimi Hendrix
    THE C RITERION J OURNAL ON I NNOVAT I ON Vol. 1 E E E 2016 Some Economics of Flag Burning and Jimi Hendrix J. Gregory Sidak* President-elect Donald Trump caused consternation three weeks after his electoral upset when he tweeted that someone who burns the American flag should be imprisoned for a year or lose his citizenship.1 Constitutional law scholars have written much about flag burning before and since the Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision in 1989 in Texas v. Johnson finding that the First Amendment protects such activity.2 President-elect Trump’s comments will probably renew debate and legal scholarship over whether the Court’s deci- sion was properly decided, whether there is any regulation of flag burning that could survive constitutional scrutiny, and, if not, whether the United States should amend its Constitution to empower Congress to punish desecration of the flag. My purpose is not to wade into those controversies, but rather to explain an economic rationale for why this particular tempest illustrates why the Court should, as a general rule, interpret the First Amendment to protect speech to a greater extent than conduct. Virtually every rule has exceptions. My focus here concerns the general rule that words tend to be clearer than actions. I. Articulate Speech My starting point is the economic theory of language. Judge Richard Posner— joined at times by William Landes—has shown how language manifests * Chairman, Criterion Economics, Washington, D.C. Email: [email protected]. I wrote most of this essay in 1989, when Texas v. Johnson was pending in the Supreme Court, but never published my thoughts before now.

    Cover photo by Ebet Roberts 18 AIRTO He calls himself the "outlaw of percussion" because he breaks all the rules, but that's what has kept Airto in demand with musicians such as Miles Davis, Chick Corea, and Weather Report for almost two decades. His latest rule-breaking involves the use of electronics, but as usual, he has come up with his own way of doing it. by Rick Mattingly 24 GILSON LAVIS Back when Squeeze was enjoying their initial success, drummer Gilson Lavis was becoming increasingly dependent on alcohol. After the band broke up, he conquered his problem, and now, with the re-formed Squeeze enjoying success once again, Lavis is able to put new energy into his gig. by Simon Goodwin 28 BUDDY Photo by Ebet Roberts MILES He made his mark with the Electric Flag, Jimi Hendrix's Band of Gypsies, and his own Buddy Miles Express. Now, active once again with Santana and the California Raisins, Buddy Miles reflects on the legendary music that he was so much a part of. by Robert Santelli 32 DAVE TOUGH He didn't have the flash of a Buddy Rich or a Gene Krupa, but Dave Tough made such bands as Benny Goodman's, Artie Shaw's, and Woody Herman's play their best through his driving timekeeping and sense of color. His story is a tragic one, and it is thus even more Roberts Ebet remarkable that he accomplished so much in his by relatively short life.

  • Coups, Corporations, and Classified Information∗
    COUPS, CORPORATIONS, AND CLASSIFIED INFORMATION∗ ARINDRAJIT DUBE ETHAN KAPLAN SURESH NAIDU We estimate the impact of coups and top-secret coup authorizations on asset prices of partially nationalized multinational companies that stood to benefit from US-backed coups. Stock returns of highly exposed firms reacted to coup authorizations classified as top-secret. The average cumulative abnormal return to a coup authorization was 9% over 4 days for a fully nationalized company, rising to more than 13% over sixteen days. Pre-coup authorizations accounted for a larger share of stock price increases than the actual coup events themselves. ∗We would like to thank Martin Berlin, Remeike Forbes, Nathan Lane, Zihe Liu, Ettore Panetti, Andre Shepley, and Laurence Wilse-Samson for excellent research assistance. Frans Buelens helped us greatly in obtaining data. Noel Maurer shared his list of U.S. multinational expropriations with us. Oliver Boguth provided us historical data on three Fama-French factors. Marcos Chamon, Stefano DellaVigna, Ray Fisman, Eric Freeman, David Gibbs, Lena Nekby, Torsten Persson, John Prados, Gerard Roland, and seminar participants at CEMFI, Hampshire College, LSE, IIES, NBER Political Economy Summer Institute, the New School, NYU, the Santa Fe Institute, the Stockholm U. Economics Department, the Stockholm School of Economics, UC Berkeley, UC Riverside, the U. of Michigan at Ann Arbor, the U. of Oslo, and the U. of Warwick all provided helpful comments. 1 There is no effect in the case of the widely publicized, poorly executed Cuban operations, consistent with abnormal returns to coup authorizations reflecting credible private information. We also introduce two new intuitive and easy to implement nonparametric tests that do not rely on asymptotic justifications.

    A Thesis Entitled A Socio-Historical Analysis of U.S. State Terrorism from 1948 to 2008 By Chad A. Malone Submitted as partial fulfillment of the requirements for The Master of Arts in Sociology ___________________________________ Advisor: Dr. Elias Nigem ___________________________________ Committee Member: Dr. Dwight Haase ___________________________________ Committee Member: Dr. Marietta Morrissey ___________________________________ College of Graduate Studies The University of Toledo August 2008 An Abstract of A Socio-Historical Analysis of U.S. State Terrorism from 1948 to 2008 Chad A. Malone Submitted as partial fulfillment of the requirements for The Master of Arts in Sociology The University of Toledo August 2008 This thesis is a critical examination of U.S. foreign intervention from 1948 to 2008. Using a comparative/historical analysis of seven cases—Iran, Guatemala, Indonesia, Chile, Nicaragua, Panama, and Iraq—this study finds patterns of U.S. state/state-sponsored terror and intervention. Using world-system theory and G. William Domhoff’s class-domination theory of power, this study explains how and why the U.S. government, the U.S. military, the CIA, and U.S. corporations participate in economically motivated terrorist acts to support the capitalist mode of production, U.S. investments, and access to markets and natural resources. Finally, this study reveals patterns (in addition to the use of terror) that the U.S. government follows while intervening in the affairs of foreign nations. ii Dedication This thesis is dedicated to my parents. While they may not always agree with what I say or write, they have always been supportive of my education and my goals.
