Att hålla historien vid liv : En komparativ studie av amerikautvandringen i två museers utställningar i relation till gymnasieskolans styrdokument / Keeping the history alive : A comparative study of two Swedish exhibitions about The Great Migration in relation to Upper Secondary school's curriculumJohansson, Anton January 2016 (has links)
This essay analyzes the content and intermediation in two Swedish museums’ exhibitions about The Great Migration by using the didactic questions what, how and why. Using observations and interviews as methods, the results are compared afterwards to the Upper Secondary school’s national curriculum and to the concepts of learning and knowledge, by applying the theories of Arfwedsons and Hein. These theories help the reader to understand to what level the exhibitions give the visitors possibilities to produce their own learning and knowledge or if the exhibitions have a claim to present the truth and want the information to be reproduced by the visitors. In simplified terms, the study investigates how justified a school visit is to one of the exhibitions for the various history courses. The conclusions show that the exhibitions differ among themselves, which will make school visits relevant in different ways, depending on which exhibition and which history course you have in mind. One of the exhibitions focus on showing The Great Migration from a local history perspective and with connections to today’s refugees while the other exhibition instead makes an effort to show the same migration through several perspectives, on all kinds of levels in society. Based on the results and the connections to the school’s curriculum a conclusion can be made: The more advanced a course is, the more relevant it becomes for schools to visit the exhibitions. Having put the concepts of learning and knowledge into the results, the study shows that both exhibitions have a claim to present the truth and in that way sees the visitors as reproducers of that information. Aside from the fact that only one of the exhibitions intermediate through different kinds of channels, both exhibitions lack in source criticism giving the visitors no chance of questioning the material.

The Power of Leaving: Black Agency and the Great Migration in Louisiana, 1890 - 1939Brown, M. Kay 01 May 2018 (has links)
The Great Migration is the largest self-initiated movement of Black Americans in United States history. By leaving behind the rural areas which were familiar but offered little or no opportunities for advancement out of poverty and journeying to major urban centers, Blacks were able to exercise their individual and collective agency. Many thousands of Black Southerners chose to remain below the Mason-Dixon line: the populations of Atlanta, Houston, and New Orleans swelled during the 1910s and through the 1930s, due largely to an influx of Blacks from other areas of the South. These stories often get lost among the millions of other records about migration to the North. New Orleans offered an enticing compromise between remaining in rural poverty and relocating thousands of miles from home: Black Louisianans could stay relatively close to loved ones while gaining new opportunities for employment and economic stability. Furthermore, the city’s vibrancy and reputation for Black solidarity and community support helped draw those who sought to escape the race-based violence of the Jim Crow countryside. Lastly, New Orleans’ Black neighborhoods had always been and continued to act as hotbeds of cultural evolution, and in areas such as the Tremé and Central City, it was easy to find others who shared similar backgrounds and values. Louisiana’s Great Migration helped stimulate Black culture within New Orleans and across the nation.

Dorothy West's Re-imagining of the Migration NarrativeHarper, Alexis V. 15 November 2016 (has links)
This thesis explores Dorothy West's interpretation of the migration experience through her novel The Living is Easy. Dorothy West breaks new ground by documenting a Black female migrant's sojourn from South to North in an era in which such narratives were virtually non-existent. West seemingly rejects both a separation between North and South as well any sentiment of condemning the North or South in totality. Instead, West chooses to settle her novel in a gray area. Moreover, in refusing to condemn the South, Dorothy West redeems the South from oversimplified negative assumptions of the region. My interpretation of Dorothy West's The Living is Easy as well as Cleo Judson both highlights West's contributions to the genre by complicating the assumptions of what a migration narrative contains by centering the migrating Black female body. / Master of Arts

Mapping Whiteness: Uncovering the Legacy of All-White Towns in IndianaJennifer Sdunzik (6865529) 15 August 2019 (has links)
Why did black southern migrants during the Great
Migration not get off the train along the migratory corridor that connected the
points of departure and arrival, i.e. the Jim Crow South and the urban North?
How did midwestern small-towns and black America come to be understood as polar
opposites? Based on archival and ethnographic research, this project answers
these questions by disrupting grand narratives about the Great Migration and
the Midwest: 1) it disrupts the idea of predefined destinations of southern black
migrants by illustrating that not all wanted to settle in big cities; 2) it
disrupts the midwestern whiteness by displaying resilience and resistance of
minorities in the same landscape; and 3) it disrupts stereotypes of midwestern friendliness by
uncovering the self-perceived understanding of midwestern hospitality of
Hoosier communities that stands in stark contrast with the unwelcoming
environment as experienced by outsiders. Together, the chapters in this
dissertation record the racialized geographies of Indiana and provide a nuanced
understanding of identity and belonging in the Midwest. Analysis of the data
identifies cultures of exclusion prevalent in midwestern small towns.

Recovering Green in Bronzeville: An Environmental and Cultural History of the African American Great Migration to Chicago, 1915-1940McCammack, Brian James January 2012 (has links)
Between 1915 and 1940, millions of African Americans migrated from the South to cities in the North. “Recovering Green in Bronzeville” examines the ways in which these migrants experienced, perceived, talked about, valued, and shaped these natural and landscaped environments in the interwar years. Taking Chicago as its focal point, this dissertation argues that not only should African Americans be central to narratives of environment and place in the early twentieth century, but also that natural and landscaped environments are central to African American culture. The dissertation’s first part compares and contrasts the environmental resonance of lives left behind in the South with those established in Chicago, particularly with regards to foodways and labor. It asserts that while many African Americans had already become integrated into national industrial networks prior to migration, residence in even the most urban southern city could not have prepared them for Chicago’s densely populated South Side. The dissertation’s second part explores the significance of African American experiences with both urban and rural natural and landscaped environments from roughly 1915 to 1929. It shows how African Americans joined a chorus of late Progressive Era Americans who saw these environments as an antidote to modern city life that produced ill health and delinquency, as well as how race – through the discourses of respectability, uplift, and primitivism – uniquely inflected their approaches to those places. Primarily grounding its analysis in a few specific sites – Chicago’s Washington Park; Idlewild, an African American resort in rural Michigan; and Camp Wabash, a YMCA youth camp in rural Michigan – it also reveals black Chicagoans as a mobile population that regularly accessed the rural North. The dissertation’s third part considers how African Americans’ connections to these same environments evolved during the Depression, adding an analysis of segregated African American Civilian Conservation Corps companies which, with the labor of black Chicagoans, radically altered the landscapes of rural Illinois and Michigan. On the whole, African Americans focused on building communities in natural and landscaped environments separate from whites in a cultural context defined by widespread poverty, New Deal-era politics and agencies, increasing segregation, and diminished migration.

A Pragmatic Standard of Legal ValidityTyler, John 2012 May 1900 (has links)
American jurisprudence currently applies two incompatible validity standards to determine which laws are enforceable. The natural law tradition evaluates validity by an uncertain standard of divine law, and its methodology relies on contradictory views of human reason. Legal positivism, on the other hand, relies on a methodology that commits the analytic fallacy, separates law from its application, and produces an incomplete model of law.
These incompatible standards have created a schism in American jurisprudence that impairs the delivery of justice. This dissertation therefore formulates a new standard for legal validity. This new standard rejects the uncertainties and inconsistencies inherent in natural law theory. It also rejects the narrow linguistic methodology of legal positivism.
In their stead, this dissertation adopts a pragmatic methodology that develops a standard for legal validity based on actual legal experience. This approach focuses on the operations of law and its effects upon ongoing human activities, and it evaluates legal principles by applying the experimental method to the social consequences they produce. Because legal history provides a long record of past experimentation with legal principles, legal history is an essential feature of this method.
This new validity standard contains three principles. The principle of reason requires legal systems to respect every subject as a rational creature with a free will. The principle of reason also requires procedural due process to protect against the punishment of the innocent and the tyranny of the majority. Legal systems that respect their subjects' status as rational creatures with free wills permit their subjects to orient their own behavior. The principle of reason therefore requires substantive due process to ensure that laws provide dependable guideposts to individuals in orienting their behavior.
The principle of consent recognizes that the legitimacy of law derives from the consent of those subject to its power. Common law custom, the doctrine of stare decisis, and legislation sanctioned by the subjects' legitimate representatives all evidence consent.
The principle of autonomy establishes the authority of law. Laws must wield supremacy over political rulers, and political rulers must be subject to the same laws as other citizens. Political rulers may not arbitrarily alter the law to accord to their will.
Legal history demonstrates that, in the absence of a validity standard based on these principles, legal systems will not treat their subjects as ends in themselves. They will inevitably treat their subjects as mere means to other ends. Once laws do this, men have no rest from evil.
