    HOW DID WE GET HERE?: AN EXAMINATION OF THE COLLECTION OF CONTEMPORARY CARIBBEAN JUVENILE LITERATURE IN THE CHILDREN’S LIBRARY OF THE NATIONAL LIBRARY OF TRINIDAD & TOBAGO AND TRINIDADIAN CHILDREN’S RESPONSES TO SELECTED TITLES BY SUJIN HUGGINS DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Library and Information Science in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2012 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Christine Jenkins, Chair and Director of Research Professor Violet Harris Professor Linda Smith Assistant Lecturer Louis Regis, University of the West Indies, St. Augustine ABSTRACT This study investigates the West Indian Juvenile collection of Caribbean children's literature housed at the Port of Spain Children's Library of the National Library of Trinidad and Tobago to determine its characteristics and contents, and to elicit the responses of a group of children, aged 11 to 13, to selected works from the collection. A variety of qualitative data collection techniques were employed including document analysis, direct observation, interviews with staff, and focus group discussions with student participants. Through collection analysis, ethnographic content analysis and interview analysis, patterns in the literature and the responses received were extracted in an effort to construct and offer a 'holistic' view of the state of the literature and its influence, and suggest clear implications for its future development and use with children in and out of libraries throughout the region. ii For my grandmother Earline DuFour-Herbert (1917-2007), my eternal inspiration, and my daughter, Jasmine, my constant motivation. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS To adequately thank all of the wonderful people who have made the successful completion of this dissertation possible would require another dissertation-length document.

Smith, B.A. (Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey), M.A. (Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Mary O’Connor NUMBER OF PAGES: vii, 196 iii Ph.D. Thesis – M. Smith McMaster University – English & Cultural Studies ABSTRACT This dissertation draws upon literary and cultural studies, hip-hop studies, and hip-hop feminism to explore Black women’s critical engagement with the boundaries of Black womanhood in the cultural productions of street literature and hip-hop music. The term “troublesome” motivates my analysis as I argue that the works of writers Teri Woods and Sister Souljah and of rapper Lil’ Kim create narratives that alternately highlight, reproduce, and challenge racist, classist, and sexist discourse on Black womanhood. Such narratives reveal hip-hop to be a site for critical reflection on Black womanhood and offer context-specific examples of the intersectionality of hip-hop generation women’s experiences. This project also incorporates ethnographic methods to document and validate the experiential knowledge of street literature readers.

THESIS JAMALODIN ADAM AHMED (Y1412.110008) Department of Political Science and International Relations Political Science and International Relations Program MAY 2016 I II III IV FOREWORD One of Africa’s main problem is political structure of the states, I was sure that my thesis would involve this problem and its solutions, but this idea changed on 23rd February 2015, when security officers took me for extra security checks at Jomo Kenyatta international airport. The officers said that it was because of al-Shabaab security threat, and I fit the profile of the al-Shabaab members a young Somali and a Muslim. The group’s activities has never affected me directly but for the first time I faced profiling in Kenya just because of my age, religion and tribe. After three minutes of frisking and questioning, I was allowed to proceed with my journey back to Turkey. The incident got me furious which drove me to do intense research on the al-Shabaab group which led me to making the decision to make it my thesis topic. As sensitive and complex the topic might be, the Islamic and Somali cultural background gave me the motivation needed to finish the thesis in the required time frame. The thesis’s aim was to prove al-Shabaab wrong in their claim that they are doing religious duty and in the process prove that Islam and other religions are against terrorism and I was glad that I did prove them wrong.

  • Learning from Yesterday . . . TODAY: a Day Trip
    Learning from Yesterday . TODAY A Day Trip into History Department of Education Outreach Department of School and Youth Group Tours 2 INTRODUCTION A class field trip should be more than a day away from the classroom! It is an opportunity for an educational experience that complements the regular course of study, and it is imperative that teachers plan and implement activities that create worthwhile learning experiences for their students. The best way to accomplish this goal is to adopt a three-part strategy: careful preparation beforehand; meaningful exercises to engage students while at the site; and a thorough debriefing after returning to the classroom. This guide is designed to assist teachers who are planning a field trip to, but may lack background knowledge or familiarity with, Colonial Williamsburg. It is also meant to suggest new approaches for educators who have made a visit to Colonial Williamsburg part of their students’ instruction for many years. There are more ideas than can be used for a single trip, but all are provided so teachers can select those that best meet their instructional objectives and student needs. In addition to specific sample lessons, extra material has been provided at the end of each section that can be further developed into lessons. Some lessons overlap in subject matter, but offer alternative strategies or target different skills. Each lesson can be adjusted according to grade level and the time available to the teacher. This guide is intended to make a trip to Colonial Williamsburg a more enjoyable and worthwhile learning venture for all involved. Section 1: BEFORE THE VISIT – Set the Stage for Learning Sample Lessons and Additional Lesson/Activity Suggestions Teachers set forth the objectives for the visit and provide opportunities to gather needed background information for students to understand the purpose of the field trip.

We talked about her childhood in “White City”, her various professions, her relationship with Colonial Williamsburg, and her experiences as an union organizer and protester. --Arish Ali, April 28, 2015 Arish Ali: It is April 22nd at 2:18 PM.

My college friends call me Edith. So either name is fine, but I prefer Cookie. Arish: Fantastic. Alright Cookie, would you tell me a little bit about your childhood, and where you grew up, and your family? Cookie: I’ll start with my mom, who was born at the Naval Weapons Station on Charles Corner. And from that point, they moved out of the Naval Weapons Station in 1927 on to Grove, and, uh, so my mother and her siblings grew up in Grove.
