1	The Chorus of Disapproval: The Battle of St. Paul's and Women's Protest in Occupied New Orleans Richard, Denice J 13 August 2014 (has links) Although scholars have explored women’s public resistance in occupied cities during the Civil War, few have explored women in occupied New Orleans. Studies have been limited to the rambunctious activities of women in the city streets, armed with sharp tongues. The use of private spaces, specifically religious spaces, as a platform for protest, has not been explored. By analyzing the events surrounding the closure of an uptown church on October of 1862, known as “The Battle of Saint Paul’s,” this thesis will address Confederate female activism and protest to Union occupation in New Orleans. It will do so by examining competing press accounts as well as a song inspired by the event. For its female members, the church was the last community-held space in the city. The women of St. Paul’s fought Union control of the only public space that afforded them a degree of autonomy within occupied New Orleans. History of Religion United States History Women's History

3	The theme of protest and its expression in S. F. Motlhake's poetry Tsambo, T. L. (Theriso Louisa) 06 1900 (has links) In the Apartheid South Africa, repression and the heightening of the Blacks' struggle for political emancipation, prompted artists to challenge the system through their music, oral poetry and writing. Most produced works of protest in English to reach a wider audience. This led to the general misconception that literatures in the indigenous languages of South Africa were insensitive to the issues of those times. This study seeks firstly to put to rest such misconception by proving that there is Commitment in these literatures as exemplified in the poetry of S.F. Motlhake. Motlhake not only expresses protest against the political system of the time, but also questions some religious and socio-cultural practices and institutions among his people. The study also examines his selected works as genuine poetry, which does not sacrifice art on the altar of propaganda. / African Languages / M.A. (African Languages) Steswana poetry Motlhake Protest poetry Socio-cultural protest Religious protest Political protest Evolutationary protest Mild protest Militant protest Threnody stylistics Satire Linguistic format Acquiscence Censorship Repetitive devices Prolepsis Praise denunciation Contrast Sarcasm Dramatic monologue Expression Malope Thobega Theme African Marxism Sexual harassment 896.397751009 Tswana poetry -- History and criticism
