Extractions: Home Events About BHM News/Features ... Shop (Books, Music etc) African American literature is literature written by, about, and sometimes specifically for African Americans. The genre began during the 18th and 19th centuries with writers such as poet Phillis Wheatley and orator Frederick Douglass, reached an early high point with the Harlem Renaissance, and continues today with authors such as Toni Morrison and Maya Angelou being ranked among the top writers in the United States. Among the themes and issues explored in African American literature are the role of African Americans within the larger American society, African American culture, racism, slavery, and equality. As African Americans' place in American society has changed over the centuries, so too has the focus of African American literature. Before the American Civil War, African American literature primarily focused on the issue of slavery, as indicated by the popular subgenre of slave narratives. At the turn of the 20th century, books by authors such as W.E.B. DuBois

Extractions: It's all over. Or is it? In 1938 Congress established the Committee on Un-American Activities of the House of Representatives (HUAC). In 1969 its name was changed to the House Internal Security Committee, and in 1975 this group was dissolved and its records and authority transferred to the House Judiciary Committee. In 1976, the HUAC's vast files on tens of millions of "subversive' Americans were sealed in the National. Archives, not to be opened to public scrutiny for 50 years. In April 1977, that other relic of a supposedly bygone era, the Senate Internal Security Committee, was abolished, its responsibilities taken over by the Senate Judiciary Committee. An historic period had come to an end. Or had it? Many of these extremely important issues are highlighted by Robert Carl Cohen in his film COMMITTEE ON UN-AMERICAN ACTIVITIES . The film is certainly timely and its significance today perhaps even greater than when it was produced in 1962. SYNOPSIS: COMMITTEE ON UN-AMERICAN ACTIVITIES is the first film ever made by a private US citizen which questioned the legitimacy of a US governmental agency. As its name implied, the Committee's purpose was to investigate those organizations and individuals it deemed "un-American." The writer-director of the film uses as his focus a modern day "Everyman," an average American who wanted to understand the Committee, its purpose, its function. He watches as events spanning a quarter-century unwind. He witnesses the beginnings of the Committee under Chairman Martin Dies, the post-World War II sessions under Chairman J. Parnell Thomas, when particular attention was paid to the employment of alleged communists in Hollywood. He sees the parade of friendly and unfriendly witnesses who appeared before the Committee, of witnesses who refused to cooperate with the Committee and subsequently saw friendships destroyed, jobs lost, freedom exchanged for prison and, in some cases, even suicide.

Extractions: SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER POP MUSIC CRITIC In 1967, the year Jimi Hendrix became the toast of London, a bartender at a working-class pub in Liverpool mistook the rock star for someone far less glamorous. "Sorry, mates, we can't serve your sort in here," the crusty old barkeep told Hendrix and his bandmate, Noel Redding. "We got rules, you know." The humorous story is recounted in Seattle music journalist Charles R. Cross' new book, "Room Full of Mirrors: A Biography of Jimi Hendrix" (Hyperion, 400 pages, $24.95). Hendrix and Redding puzzled over the bartender's rebuff. Both musicians wore purple scarves around their necks and "halos of frizzy hair," Cross writes. Hendrix was dressed in wine-red velvet trousers, a frilly pirate shirt, ancient British military jacket and black cape. Hendrix wondered if he was being discriminated against because of his skin color, though such problems were unusual at the time in England.
Extractions: HISTORICALLY SPEAKING An Interview with Thomas J. Sugrue Editors' Introduction: On April 7th, 1999, Julian Zelizer, co-editor of The JMMH, conducted a radio interview with Thomas J. Sugrue, associate professor of history and sociology at the University of Pennsylvania. Sugrue is the author of numerous articles focusing on 20th-century social and urban history, and a recent book, The Origins of the Urban Crisis published by Princeton University Press. The Origins of the Urban Crisis has earned accolades from reviewers around the country and the globe; it has received numerous awards: the Bancroft Prize, the Philip Taft Prize for Labor History, the Social Science History Association's 1996 President's Book Award, and various other honors. Zelizer and Sugrue's conversation was wide-ranging, touching on the genesis of Sugrue's interest in modern urban history and social policy, his graduate school experience, the scholars who influenced his approach to the study of history, and the trials and tribulations of conducting 20th-century social and policy history research. Much of the interview focused on Sugrue's investigations into the social and economic foundations of racial and class inequality in post-war Detroit, the subject of his recent book. This piece inaugurates a new JMMH

As one of the country's leading programmes (the Department was awarded the highest rating in the National Research Assessment Exercise of 1996 and 2001, and achieved a maximum rating in the Teaching Quality Audit of 1998) the course flourishes within the distinctive context of the Keele curriculum. The Department offers a wide range of teaching in American literature, history, politics, geography and popular culture, including film, and is particularly concerned to emphasize ways in which specialist knowledge illuminates more general matters of concern in the social and cultural life of the United States. In many ways, the Department reflects the core of Keele's educational philosophy - areas of knowledge are interdependent and different disciplines illuminate each other. Students are encouraged to approach the diversity of the United States from the diversity of perspective offered by the various disciplines within the Department - history, literature, politics, geography, popular culture. After a grounding in the methods of those disciplines and in the cultural focus they provide, students are able to take advantage of an extensive choice of modules that portray the development of American civilization from the founding of the Republic to the present day.

Extractions: DES, a synthetic form of estrogen, was commonly given to pregnant women in the United States, Europe, and Australia from 1948-1971. It was thought that DES would prevent miscarriage during pregnancy. It has since been discovered that taking DES during the first 5 months of pregnancy can alter the proper development of the fetal reproductive system . Daughters born to women who took DES may have structural abnormalities in their vagina, cervix, or uterus. They may also have irregular menstruation and difficulties in pregnancy such as infertility, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, and giving birth prematurely . Some of these women have also suffered from a rare cancer known as clear cell carcinoma; it seems that about 1 in 1000 daughters exposed to DES develop this cancer . There have also been problems for sons of mothers who took DES; these men may have testicular abnormalities. The health outcomes of the grandchildren of women who took DES are the subject of current investigation.

Finding ourselves joined in grief, we rose to help one another as we could in the aftermath: comforting the bereaved, uttering prayers and words of healing, giving blood to the wounded, and raising money for the widowed and orphaned. In Bowling Alone and his related research, Putnam, professor of public policy at Harvard, describes incontrovertible trends in the decline of interpersonal interactions over the last 25 years: club meeting attendance has decreased 58 percent, the number of family dinners has diminished 33 percent, and the proportion of adults having friends over has fallen 45 percent. Fifty years ago, our national pastime was sitting down to family dinners. Today, the activity in which we invest the most time is TV-watching, and we usually watch it alone, not with our families.
