Conservation of Leather and Related Materials - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Conservation of Leather and Related Materials - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The conservation of skin, leather and related materials is an area that, until now, has had little representation by the written word in book form. Marion Kite and Roy Thomson, of the Leather Conservation Centre, have prepared a text which is both authoritative and comprehensive, including contributions from the leading specialists in their fields, such as Betty Haines, Mary Lou Florian, Ester Cameron and Jim Spriggs. The book covers all aspects of Skin and Leather preservation, from Cuir Bouillie to Bookbindings. There is significant discussion of the technical and chemical elements necessary in conservation, meaning that professional conservators will find the book a vital part of their collection. As part of the Butterworth-Heinemann Black series, the book carries the stamp of approval of the leading figures in the world of Conservation and Museology, and as such it is the only publication available on the topic carrying this immediate mark of authority.

Black Music, Black Poetry - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Black Music, Black Poetry - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Black Music, Black Poetry offers readers a fuller appreciation of the diversity of approaches to reading black American poetry. It does so by linking a diverse body of poetry to musical genres that range from the spirituals to contemporary jazz. The poetry of familiar figures such as Paul Laurence Dunbar and Langston Hughes and less well-known poets like Harryette Mullen or the lyricist to Pharaoh Sanders, Amos Leon Thomas, is scrutinized in relation to a musical tradition contemporaneous with the lifetime of each poet. Black music is considered the strongest representation of black American communal consciousness; and black poetry, by drawing upon such a musical legacy, lays claim to a powerful and enduring black aesthetic. The contributors to this volume take on issues of black cultural authenticity, of musical imitation, and of poetic performance as displayed in the work of Paul Laurence Dunbar, Langston Hughes, Sterling Brown, Amiri Baraka, Michael Harper, Nathaniel Mackey, Jayne Cortez, Harryette Mullen, and Amos Leon Thomas. Taken together, these essays offer a rich examination of the breath of black poetry and the ties it has to the rhythms and forms of black music and the influence of black music on black poetic practice.

Boots of Leather, Slippers of Gold - Madeline D. Davis - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Boots of Leather, Slippers of Gold - Madeline D. Davis - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Boots of Leather, Slippers of Gold traces the evolution of the lesbian community in Buffalo, New York from the mid-1930s up to the early 1960s. Drawing upon the oral histories of 45 women, it is the first comprehensive history of a working-class lesbian community. These poignant and complex stories show how black and white working-class lesbians, although living under oppressive circumstances, nevertheless became powerful agents of historical change. Kennedy and Davis provide a unique insider''s perspective on butch-fem culture and argue that the roots of gay and lesbian liberation are found specifically in the determined resistance of working-class lesbians. This 20 th anniversary edition republishes the book for a new generation of readers. It includes a new preface in which the authors reflect on where the last 20 years have taken them. For anyone interested in lesbian life during the 1940s and 1950s, or in the dynamics of butch-fem culture, this study remains the one that set the highest standard for all oral histories and ethnographies of lesbian communities anywhere.

Black Hopes/Black Woes - Raphael Lambert - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Black Hopes/Black Woes - Raphael Lambert - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Black Hopes/Black Woes begins by delving into the contrasting mindsets of postbellum African Americans and their twenty-first-century counterparts, aiming to elucidate the shift from early Black optimism to present-day Black pessimism. It then focuses on the rationale behind Afro-pessimism, a contemporary school of thought with an inconspicuous yet potent influence on mainstream culture. The first part of the book focuses on Frederick Douglass’s and WEB Du Bois’s interpretations of slave songs, establishing a link between the Negro, freedom, and democracy. This optimistic view is juxtaposed with Saidiya Hartman’s, who, with 100 years’ hindsight, condemns Du Bois’s reformist spirit and efforts to tackle Black poverty as supercilious and damaging. The book then scrutinizes Afro-pessimism through the work of Frank B. Wilderson III, who posits that the stability of civil society hinges on anti-Black violence. Accordingly, he argues that any analogy between Black and non-Black experiences is flawed and that Marxism, which privileges labor over racial issues, is inadequate to grasp Blackness. Additionally, the book explores the essentialist discourse of Afro-pessimism through David Marriott’s analysis of Frantz Fanon, which theorizes the non-beingness of Blackness despite Fanon’s focus on being colonized rather than Black. Finally, the book demonstrates how Afro-pessimism overlaps with postcolonialism and conflicts with Fanon’s universalism, his rejection of identity politics, and his advocacy for transracial and transnational dialogue. While the radical nature of Afro-pessimism may seem to manifest an unresolved national trauma, Black Hopes/Black Woes situates this ideology in the larger contemporary philosophical and critical discourse, shedding light on its propensity to foster a culture of resentment and cynicism. Once confined to a niche academic audience, Afro-pessimism has percolated the mainstream, stoking the fire of racial antagonism.

Solutions For Anti-Black Misandry, Flat Blackness, and Black Male Death - T. Hasan Johnson - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Solutions For Anti-Black Misandry, Flat Blackness, and Black Male Death - T. Hasan Johnson - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This book deconstructs stereotypes about Black men through the exploration of their vulnerability, drawing attention to their demographic-specific issues and needs that are so rarely articulated. Since the Black Power era, many Black men have responded with a Black identity affirming sensibility that sought to advance the cause of Black people. However, Black males have a need for race and gender-specific vocabulary that explains their experience with specificity, including concepts such as Black Masculinism, anti-Black misandry, and Black Andromortality, which seek to explain the experiences of Black males from the context of their lived experiences. Drawing upon empirical data, this volume offers policy solutions that challenge the institutional prejudices against Black males and the disproportionately high rates of death they face. Solutions are proposed to the outlined challenges and chapters span topics such as social and family-based solutions, health, small business support, law, and policy. This book will be essential reading for researchers, professionals, and anyone interested in masculinity, gender studies, and Black Male Studies.

Black Women, Agency, and the New Black Feminism - Maria Del Guadalupe Davidson - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Black Women, Agency, and the New Black Feminism - Maria Del Guadalupe Davidson - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The powerful Beyoncé, formidable Rihanna, and the incalculable Nikki Minaj. Their images lead one to wonder: are they a new incarnation of black feminism and black women’s agency, or are they only pure fantasy in which, instead of having agency, they are in fact the products of the forces of patriarchy and commercialism? More broadly, one can ask whether black women in general are only being led to believe that they have power but are really being drawn back into more complicated systems of exploitation and oppression. Or, are black women subverting patriarchy by challenging notions of their subordinate and exploitable sexuality? In other words, ‘who is playing who’? Black Women, Agency, and the New Black Feminism identifies a generational divide between traditional black feminists and younger black women. While traditional black feminists may see, for example, sexualized images of black women negatively and as an impediment to progress, younger black women tend to embrace these new images and see them in a positive light. After carefully setting up this divide, this enlightening book will suggest that a more complex understanding of black feminist agency needs to be developed, one that is adapted to the complexities faced by the younger generation in today’s world. Arguing the concept of agency as an important theme for black feminism, this innovative title will appeal to scholars, teachers, and students interested in black feminist and feminist philosophy, identity construction, subjectivity and agency, race, gender, and class.

The Black Press and Black Baseball, 1915-1955 - Brian Carroll - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Black Press and Black Baseball, 1915-1955 - Brian Carroll - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This book brings into dramatic relief the dilemma, or devil''s bargain, that faced the black press in first building up black baseball, then crusading for the sport''s integration and, as a result of that largely successful campaign, ultimately encouraging and even ensuring the demise of those same black leagues. Taking a thematic approach, this book focuses each of its chapters on a singular event or phenomenon from and for each decade of the period covered, a period that spans the roughly four decades of the black leagues'' existence. Thus, the book drills down on a handful of representative events and phenomena to present a history of the black press and black baseball. Themes include the many ways team owners and the weekly newspapers'' editors and writers worked in concert to build up the leagues, the paired fortunes of black players and black writers, the desperation to save the Negro leagues when it became clear integration threatened their survival, and finally the black press’s response to the residues of baseball''s decades of segregation.

Progressive Black Masculinities? - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Progressive Black Masculinities? - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

In the struggle for pride and political agency, the imperative to ''be a man'' has been central to the lives of black males. Yet, what it means to be a black man-in terms of both racial and gender identity-has been subject to continual debate in public and academic spheres alike. Progressive Black Masculinities brings together leading black cultural critics including Michael Eric Dyson, Mark Anthony Neal, and Patricia Hill Collins to examine an alternatively demonized and mythologized black masculinity. Collectively, they offer a roadmap for new, progressive models of black masculinity that may chart the course for the future of black men.

The Black Subaltern - Shauna (associated Black Charities (abc) Knox - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Black Subaltern - Shauna (associated Black Charities (abc) Knox - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

In The Black Subaltern , Shauna Knox revolts against the construct of the decontextualized self, electing instead to foreground the complex and problematic lived experience of the Black subaltern. Knox offers an account in which Black humanity is flattened, desubstantialized, and lost in a state of perpetual in-betweenness, which she coins subjective transmigration. Over the course of this book, Knox weaves autobiographical vignettes featuring her own journey as a Jamaican migrant to the United States together with theoretical reflection in order to elaborate on the conditions of Black subalternity. She considers the dissolution and disappearance of the subaltern authentic self to be a prerequisite for acquiring access to society. Knox reflects that Black migrants, though rooted in a new country, still remain integrally engaged with their country of origin, and as such, ultimately find themselves in a purgatory of in-betweenness, inhabiting nowhere in particular. This book’s innovative use of postformal autobiography to give voice to the Black subaltern provides students and researchers across the humanities, Black studies, diaspora studies, anthropology, sociology, geopolitics, development, and philosophy with rich material for reflection and discussion.

Black American Cinema - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Black American Cinema - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This is the first major collection of criticism on Black American cinema. From the pioneering work of Oscar Micheaux and Wallace Thurman to the Hollywood success of Spike Lee, Black American filmmakers have played a remarkable role in the development of the American film, both independent and mainstream. In this volume, the work of early Black filmmakers is given serious attention for the first time. Individual essays consider what a Black film tradition might be, the relation between Black American filmmakers and filmmakers from the diaspora, the nature of Black film aesthetics, the artist''s place within the community, and the representation of a Black imaginary. Black American Cinema also uncovers the construction of Black sexuality on screen, the role of Black women in independent cinema, and the specific question of Black female spectatorship. A lively and provocative group of essays debate the place and significance of Spike Lee Of crucial importance are the ways in which the essays analyze those Black directors who worked for Hollywood and whose films are simplistically dismissed as sell-outs, to the Hollywood "master narrative," as well as those "crossover" filmmakers whose achievements entail a surreptitious infiltration of the studios. Black American Cinema demonstrates the wealth of the Black contribution to American film and the complex course that contribution has taken. Contributors: Houston Baker, Jr., Toni Cade Bambara, Amiri Baraka, Jacquie Bobo, Richard Dyer, Jane Gaines, Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Ron Green, Ed Guerrero, bell hooks, Phyllis Klotman, Ntongele Masilela, Clyde Taylor, and Michele Wallace.

Black Skins, Black Masks - Shirley Anne Tate - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Black Skins, Black Masks - Shirley Anne Tate - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Black Skin, Black Masks: Hybridity, Dialogism, Performativity offers a timely exploration of Black identity and its negotiation. The book draws on empirical work recording everyday conversations between Black women: friends, peers and family members. These conversations are discussed in the light of the work of Homi Bhabha, Stuart Hall, Gerd Baumann, Claire Alexander and others on questions of hybridity, identity, otherness and the development of ’new ethnicities’. Tate aims to address what she sees as significant omissions in contemporary Black Cultural Studies. She argues that theorists have rarely looked at the process of identity construction in terms of lived-experience; and that they have tended to concentrate on the demise of the essential Black subject, paying little attention to gender. The book points to a continuation of a ’politics of the skin’ in Black identities. As such it argues against Bhabha''s claim that essence is not central to hybrid identities. The conversations recorded in the book reveal the ways in which women negotiate the category of Blackness, in what Tate calls a ''hybridity-of- the-everyday''. The book introduces a new interpretative vocabulary to look at the ways in which hybridity is orchestrated and fashioned, showing it to be performative, dialogical and dependent on essentialism.

Black Theology in Britain - Michael N. Jagessar - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Black Theology in Britain - Michael N. Jagessar - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Black theology as a discipline emerged in 1960s America, growing out of the experiences of Black people of the African Diaspora as they sought to re-interpret the central ideas of Christianity in light of struggle and oppression. However, a form of Black theology has been present in Britain since the time of slavery. ''Black Theology in Britain'' offers the first comprehensive survey of Black theology, tracing its development in Britain from the eighteenth century to today. The essays cover a wide range of topics: Black Liberation; drama as a medium for Black theology; the perspective of Black women; Black theology in the pulpit and pastoral care; and the work of Robert Beckford and Anthony Reddie. ''Black Theology in Britain'' is a key resource for students of British history, cultural studies, Black theology, and religious studies.

Black Women's Liberation Movement Music - Reiland Rabaka - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Black Women's Liberation Movement Music - Reiland Rabaka - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Black Women’s Liberation Movement Music argues that the Black Women’s Liberation Movement of the mid-to-late 1960s and 1970s was a unique combination of Black political feminism, Black literary feminism, and Black musical feminism, among other forms of Black feminism. This book critically explores the ways the soundtracks of the Black Women’s Liberation Movement often overlapped with those of other 1960s and 1970s social, political, and cultural movements, such as the Black Power Movement, Women’s Liberation Movement, and Sexual Revolution. The soul, funk, and disco music of the Black Women’s Liberation Movement era is simultaneously interpreted as universalist, feminist (in a general sense), and Black female-focused. This music’s incredible ability to be interpreted in so many different ways speaks to the importance and power of Black women’s music and the fact that it has multiple meanings for a multitude of people. Within the worlds of both Black Popular Movement Studies and Black Popular Music Studies there has been a long-standing tendency to almost exclusively associate Black women’s music of the mid-to-late 1960s and 1970s with the Black male-dominated Black Power Movement or the White female-dominated Women’s Liberation Movement. However, this book reveals that much of the soul, funk, and disco performed by Black women was most often the very popular music of a very unpopular and unsung movement: The Black Women’s Liberation Movement. Black Women’s Liberation Movement Music is an invaluable resource for students, teachers, and researchers of Popular Music Studies, American Studies, African American Studies, Critical Race Studies, Gender Studies, and Sexuality Studies.
