Art in the ashes| Class, race, urban geography, and Los Angeles's postwar Black art centersRosenberger, Nathan C. 17 March 2016 (has links)
<p> “Art in the Ashes” uncovers the implications of race, place, and class in Los Angeles through an in depth exploration of urban black art centers. By examining a cross-section of creative spaces in the city, including the Watts Towers Arts Center, Compton Communicative Arts Academy, the Inner City Cultural Center, and Brockman Gallery in Leimert Park, this thesis probes the real and imagined meanings associated with these centers’ social, economic, and cultural geography. In doing so, the work redefines and refines current understandings of the black community in the postwar era, exposing the complicated racial and ethnic partnerships and pressures that grew out of art and activism in the 1960s. Through extensive archival research, secondary source analysis, and personal interviews, “Art in the Ashes” finds a vibrant and highly diversified black experience and identity in Los Angeles that closely follows issues of economics, geography, racial understanding, politics, and culture.</p>

Black Women with Advanced Cancer and the Challenge of Biomedicine| A Black Feminist Methodological Exploration of the Lived Experience of Terminal IllnessJames, Jennifer Elyse 26 October 2016 (has links)
<p> This dissertation uses Black Feminist Theory as a theory-methods package to examine the lived experience of terminal illness for Black women with advanced cancer. I developed and implemented a Black Feminist Methodology, which seeks to center the voices and experiences of Black women in order to challenge positivist constructions of knowledge production and increase research on, by and for Black women. This dissertation explores the intersections of race, gender, class, spirituality and health within the lives of Black women. Analysis of multiple in-depth interviews with Black women and observations of clinical interactions with their providers reveal new insights into the way these intersections co-constitute and shape the patienthood experience, the patient-provider relationship, prognostic conversations, and treatment and end-of-life decision-making for Black women. First, I examine the impact of financial security or insecurity on the way Black women approach and understand their disease and treatment. I go beyond questions of income and insurance status to illuminate the ways in which class intersects with race and gender for women undergoing treatment for advanced cancer and the implications those intersections hold for how the women view and understand their disease. Next, I expand upon previous research on the role of religion in oncology care to explore how Black women’s faith impacts not only medical-decision making but also their view of self and illness. Finally, I trouble the notion of what counts as an intersectional identity. I posit that cancer patienthood, one’s identity as a cancer patient post-diagnosis, is itself an important identity in studying the experience of health and illness. I describe the way the intersections of race, gender and patient identity impact experiences of patienthood, relationships with providers and understanding of disease and prognosis.</p>

African consciousness and the responses of African American college students to "House Party", "House Party 2", "New Jack City", and "Malcolm X"Unknown Date (has links)
This study examines the relationship between the African consciousness of African American college students at a Southeastern college and the opinions they express in response to questioning about how Black people are represented in the four Hollywood movies: House Party, House Party 2, New Jack City, and Malcolm X. This study was conducted by (a) measuring the African Self-Consciousness of the subjects and (b) subjecting their interview responses regarding how the four movies represent Black people to content analysis. Twenty subjects divided evenly according to high and low African Self-Consciousness Personality scores and gender, were interviewed about the movies. / The study found that there is a relationship between African Self-Consciousness and the types of responses that subjects express. Differences in the responses of subjects with a high and low African consciousness were seen when comparing the depth and substance of their responses and the frequency of their responses in certain coding categories. While subjects with a high and low African Self-Consciousness rated the didactic and entertainment value of the movies in a similar manner, they differed in their explanations of exactly what they found entertaining or educational. There were few gender differences in the responses to the movies, but there were differences in that males rated the movies favorably overall and females were more critical of the way that women were represented. / Theoretically, the study provides a critical test for the theory of selective perception in operationalizing African consciousness as a personality element that influences film perception. Results reinforce arguments that the world view of spectators, not just their race, gender, and so forth, should be considered when examining their responses to movies. / The study also adds to empirical film audience literature which is lacking in media studies. It adds to literature focusing on African American film audiences. Further, it adds to literature addressing the qualitative evaluation of film audiences. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 54-12, Section: A, page: 4295. / Chair: C.

Marginal labor and county-level punishment patterns in Florida during the 1980sUnknown Date (has links)
This study looked at the impact of marginal and surplus labor on criminal punishment. The primary objectives of this study were: (1) to provide a more comprehensive assessment of the relationship between surplus labor and criminal punishment than traditional studies of unemployment and imprisonment by going beyond the traditional formulation of unemployment and imprisonment to include other measures of marginal labor and additional measures of punishment, (2) to disaggregate the L-P relationship to the level of decision making, (3) to assess the possible existence of tradeoffs between punishment and other social control institutions and (4) to assess the L-P relationship under the broader contexts of recession vs recovery and pre- vs post-sentencing guidelines. / The findings indicate that unemployment does predict prison and probation admissions. No support for the trade-off thesis was found. The most significant predictor of punishment rates was the percent of young, black males in the population. These results imply a need to re-evaluate the theoretical premises of state theory and moral panic. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 53-09, Section: A, page: 3375. / Major Professor: Theodore G.

An assessment of factors related to female-headed households and their effect upon juvenile chronic maladaptive behavior in African-American familiesUnknown Date (has links)
During the past ten years, the growth of single-parent female-headed households has proliferated. A wide array of the research literature of the last decade has refocused attention on the role of the family in explaining juvenile delinquency. Within these assessments there is much conjecture that African-American female-headed households, particularly those receiving welfare assistance, provide ideal conditions for the development of juvenile delinquency or chronic maladaptive behavior among their progeny. Therefore, much of the family and delinquency literature concerning the African-American female-headed families is centered around the "feminization of poverty", a concept resulting from Moynihan's (1965) study of the black family. The renewed research interest in family relationships and the impact of family structure and functioning upon family life has cast too little attention on the question of whether the interpersonal interaction of the parent with the child contributes to or deters juvenile chronic maladaptive behavior in African-American female-headed households. This study provides empirical data which attempts to more accurately distinguish those interpersonal interaction (bonding) attributes which are associated with juvenile chronic maladaptive behavior in African-American female-headed households. / The current family interaction and delinquency literature, which includes the study of single-parent homes and parent-child relationships, reveals a minimum interest in family life components, such as "natural" support systems, child supervision, parental affection, parent-child leisure activity, the issue of trust, and other components. / Social control theory was the guiding framework for deriving the measures of interpersonal interactions of parent with child, and for empirically testing the relationship of the interaction measures and of the "natural" support systems of African-American female-heads of household to juvenile chronic maladaptive behavior. The empirical analyses bearing on this research question use secondary data compiled from intake, progress, and disposition forms of 140 juveniles from the Early Attention Program of the Children's Aid Society in Detroit, Michigan. The juveniles were referred to the agency between 1984 and 1987. / The bivariate analyses indicate that several statistically significant relationships exist between interpersonal bonding variables and the maladaptive behavior of juveniles. The prominent interpersonal bonding factors were that parents contacted the agency willingly to deal with their children's problem, they were consistent in disciplining their children, and they prepared and shared meals with their child. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 50-03, Section: A, page: 0796. / Major Professor: C.

Ain't She Sweet: A Critical Choreographic Study of Identity & IntersectionalityJanuary 2019 (has links)
abstract: Personal histories are deeply rooted into my way of existence, far before my brain became ready to challenge such notions. While Americans have been witnesses to the splintering effects of colonialism and patriarchy on socialization, I ask two questions: (1) Where to stand within a society that promotes the marginalization of both women and brown bodies? And (2) how to combat these harsh realities and protect those most affected?
Being both Black and woman, I decided to embark upon a quest of self-actualization in this document. “Ain’t She Sweet: A Critical Choreographic Study of Identity & Intersectionality,” tracks the creative process and concept design behind my applied project for the Master of Fine Arts in Dance. Developed in extensive rehearsals, community engagement, journaling processes, and lived experiences, the physical product, “Ain’t She Sweet,” explored concepts such as identity, socialization, oppression, decolonization, sexuality, and civil rights. The chapters within this document illustrate the depth of the research conducted to form the evening-length production and an analysis of the completed work. / Dissertation/Thesis / Masters Thesis Dance 2019
