Pedro edited the blog post Brown Girl, Brownstones and Blackness in Bed Stuy in the group : 4 years, 9 months ago
When I started Paule Marshall’s Brown Girl, Brownstones I was astounded by how close I lived to locations mentioned in the book. I live in Bed-Stuy, where the book takes place, and I decided that as I read the book, I would make an effort to visit as many of the places mentioned in the book as I could. In theory, this was a cute idea but in…[Read more]

Yeah it felt really bad when I read the article, because school should be a place that with no racism exists there. There is no doubt that, “all men are created equal”. Black people should not suffer this situation, it’s 21st Century now. Also, you was talking about most teachers do not care about the lives of their students. From my opini…[Read more]

Flora edited the blog post The Inhabited Space and Geographic Narrative of Langston Hughes in the group : 4 years, 9 months ago
Considering the articulation of freedom in relation to spatial and temporal realities, particularly those that define what Katherine McKittrick appropriately dubs “Black Geographies,” the literary paths and places visited and experienced by American poet Langston Hughes are effectively charted and mapped –albeit with different intentions in mind–…[Read more]

Luis edited the blog post Response to The Narrows, A. Petry by Luis Zambrano in the group : 4 years, 10 months ago
A most profound problem in the exegesis of most mid-century novels of black authorship is the determination of the degree to which race and censorship cast its pall over the entire enterprise. To what extent was the author compelled to accommodate in their art the oppressive exigencies of race and class of that time and place?
That task…[Read more]

Pedro edited the blog post Pedro Sepulveda: Reflection on Total Literary Awareness in the group : 4 years, 10 months ago
In the current day, government surveillance and accompanying social anxiety have become almost commonplace in the popular American imagination, if current meme trends can be indicators of anything. I reference a particular meme – “Why Is the FBI Here?”, which has, in its viral growth, been finessed away from initial versions that depict a…[Read more]

Damele edited the blog post Reflections on Yesterday Will Make You Cry by Chester Himes – Damele E. Collier in the group : 4 years, 11 months ago
I rarely say this, but the introduction of Yesterday Will Make You Cry, written by Melvin Van Peebles was fascinating. It was a befitting preface to the true intention, and first iteration of Himes’s work. It gave such a unique insight into the author’s personality, the way in which he wrote his crime stories, and the frustration he carried w…[Read more]

In his film Red, the great Polish film auteur, Krzysztof Kieslowski, manages to collapse time in dramatizing the ineffable bond that materializes between an old judge’s past and a woman’s present, where the woman’s actions in the present are seemingly entwined intimately, not with those of the much older judge with whom she is in mere acqua…[Read more]

When accounting for the politics of surveillance operations in the archive, broadly construed, it may be common practice to locate the gaze of the FBI, CIA, DHS, police, mainstream news coverage, etc. In other words, our optic for archivally locating surveillance centers dominant institutions that actively participate in repression, control,…[Read more]

Charlene edited the blog post Charlene Obernauer: Reflection on Maxwell’s Total Literary Awareness in the group : 4 years, 12 months ago
William Maxwell’s “Total Literary Awareness: How the FBI Pre-Read African American Writing” shines a light on Hoover’s Total Literary Awareness campaign in the FBI and its racist screening of Black writers. Maxwell writes of many Black authors of the time period, including Lorraine Hansberry, whose file was opened when she raised suspici…[Read more]

Luis edited the blog post Luis Zambrano: Blacklisted: Response to “Total Literary Awareness: How the FBI Pre-read African American Writing. ” American Reader. Maxwell, W.J. in the group : 4 years, 12 months ago
Fiction itself would hardly be able to invent the scene of an eager FBI agent who, intent on assiduously analyzing and surveiling for Communist sympathies the theatrical premiere of a Black playwright’s dramatic work, attends the performance and is moved to his soul by the emotional impact of the work. Government work can be risky indeed. <…[Read more]

Damele edited the blog post Response to Maxwell’s “Total Literary Awareness” by Damele E. Collier in the group : 4 years, 12 months ago
In “Total Literary Awareness: How the FBI Pre-read African American Writing,” I found William J. Maxwell’s description of the “machinery of political repression” intriguing. It seems this machine could identify those whose rhetoric was unacceptable to the FBI at that time, and code those identified as dissidents, rebels, and communists. The ideas…[Read more]

You clearly recognize that an important facet if…[Read more]

Hi Juliana. I really loved the idea of this. First off you used the idea of having students work in groups, which is good. It also relates to our class considering our most recent project. I liked the idea of an “ethnographic portrait”. The idea of meeting immigrants who had to change their own norms in order to fit in and follow American norms.…[Read more]

Juliana, you seemed like a real teacher with this assignment. I think this is an assignment that teachers should consider implementing on college courses such as college writing and courses about history of immigration. Having this project done in a group is definitely a plus, because, based on the interview, each member can interpret their own…[Read more]

This was a well thought out assignment. I’ve always found stories of immigration to be good stories to hear because both sides of my family immigrated to the U.S. within the last 80-30 years, from two different places. For this reason I know I would take an assignment like this seriously. You also addressed every facet of this project…[Read more]

Hi Juliana. Very interesting assignment. I believe learning about the hardships and pains immigrants went through is vital for students to understand the past. There is no better way of learning this than actually getting a first-hand look at the experiences they went through. This is a very well thought out assignment that engages the students…[Read more]
