The Black box [large print] : writing the race / by Gates, Henry Louis,Jr.,author.(CARDINAL)162666;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 235-269) and index.The black box -- Race, reason, and writing -- What's in a name? -- Who's your daddy?: Frederick Douglass and the politics of self-representation -- Who's your mama?: the politics of disrespectability -- The "true art of a race's past": art, propaganda, and the new negro -- Modernism and its discontents: Zora Neale Hurston and Richard Wright play the dozens -- Sellouts vs. race men: on the concept of passing -- Policing the color line."A magnificent, foundational reckoning with how Black Americans have used the written word to define and redefine themselves, in resistance to the lies of racism and often in heated disagreement with each other, over the course of the country's history. Distilled over many years from Henry Louis Gates, Jr.’s legendary Harvard introductory course in African American Studies, The Black Box: Writing the Race, is the story of Black self-definition in America through the prism of the writers who have led the way. From Phillis Wheatley and Frederick Douglass, W.E.B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington, to Zora Neale Hurston and Richard Wright, James Baldwin and Toni Morrison-these writers used words to create a livable world--a "home"--for Black people destined to live out their lives in a bitterly racist society"--

Subconscious persuasion -- X. Hypnopaedia -- XI. Education for freedom -- XII. What can be done?The astonishing novel Brave New World, originally published in 1932, presents Aldous Huxley's vision of the future-of a world utterly transformed. Through the most efficient scientific and psychological engineering, people are genetically designed to be passive and therefore consistently useful to the ruling class. This powerful work of speculative fiction sheds a blazing critical light on the present and is considered to be Huxley's most enduring masterpiece. Following Brave New World is the nonfiction work Brave New World Revisited, first published in 1958. It is a fascinating work in which Huxley uses his tremendous knowledge of human relations to compare the modern-day world with the prophetic fantasy envisioned in Brave New World, including threats to humanity, such as overpopulation, propaganda, and chemical persuasion.870LAccelerated Reader AR

The Black box : writing the race / by Gates, Henry Louis,Jr.,author.(CARDINAL)162666;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 233-252) and index.Preface : The black box -- Race, reason, and writing -- What's in a name? -- Who's your daddy?: Frederick Douglass and the politics of self-representation -- Who's your mama?: the politics of disrespectability -- The "true art of a race's past": art, propaganda, and the new negro -- Modernism and its discontents: Zora Neale Hurston and Richard Wright play the dozens -- Sellouts vs. race men: on the concept of passing -- Conclusion : Policing the color line."A magnificent, foundational reckoning with how Black Americans have used the written word to define and redefine themselves, in resistance to the lies of racism and often in heated disagreement with each other, over the course of the country's history. Distilled over many years from Henry Louis Gates, Jr.'s legendary Harvard introductory course in African American Studies, The Black Box: Writing the Race, is the story of Black self-definition in America through the prism of the writers who have led the way. From Phillis Wheatley and Frederick Douglass, W.E.B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington, to Zora Neale Hurston and Richard Wright, James Baldwin and Toni Morrison--these writers used words to create a livable world--a "home"--for Black people destined to live out their lives in a bitterly racist society. It is a book grounded in the beautiful irony that a community formed legally and conceptually by its oppressors to justify brutal sub-human bondage, transformed itself through the word into a community whose foundational definition was based on overcoming one of history's most pernicious lies. This collective act of resistance and transcendence is at the heart of its self-definition as a "community." Out of that contested ground has flowered a resilient, creative, powerful, diverse culture formed by people who have often disagreed markedly about what it means to be "Black," and about how best to shape a usable past out of the materials at hand to call into being a more just and equitable future. This is the epic story of how, through essays and speeches, novels, plays, and poems, a long line of creative thinkers has unveiled the contours of--and resisted confinement in--the "black box" inside which this "nation within a nation" has been assigned, willy nilly, from the nation's founding through to today. This is a book that records the compelling saga of the creation of a people."--

Photomontage / by Ades, Dawn,author.(CARDINAL)129655;
Includes bibliographical references and index.The supremacy of the message. Dada in Berlin ; John Heartfield ; Propaganda, publicity and constructivism -- Metropolis: the vision of the future -- The marvellous and the commonplace -- Photomontage and non-objective art."Manipulation of the photograph is as old as photography itself. It has embodied and enlivened political propaganda, satire, publicity and commercial art, and created evocations of the 'brave new world' of the future through surreal and fantastic visions. Photomontages were made by, among others, the Dadaists, John Heartfield, El Lissitzky, Hannah Hoch and Alexander Rodchenko, and many of their works were reproduced for the first time in print when this groundbreaking study was originally published. Revered by academics, critics and readers alike, this new edition with updates is still the only definitive guide to the subject"--Publisher's description.
