“Color Struck”: Racial Mimicry as the Root Jeremy Borgia
Zora Neale Hurston, born in 1891, has emerged as an iconic author in the fields of African-American and feminist literature; most famous for her novel Their Eyes Were Watching God, Hurston wrote a number of novels, plays, and short stories. Writing from the 1920s to the 1950s, Hurston’s work is predominantly positioned in the era of the Harlem Renaissance, which ended around the time of the Great Depression. She was an influential voice during this time period, working and arguing both with and alongside the likes of W.E.B. Du Bois and Alain Locke, each of whom had a disparate view of the role of art and literature in the movement for black American equality. Locke rejected “propaganda and ‘racial rhetoric’ for the most part as
obstacles to literary excellence and universal acceptance” (Classon 8), while Du Bois proclaimed, “I stand in utter shamelessness and say that whatever art I have for writing has been used always for propaganda for gaining the right of black folk to love and enjoy. I do not care a damn for any art that is not used for propaganda’’ (Du Bois 22). Hurston, however, was
suspicious of her contemporaries’ rhetoric, recognizing the superficial division between these two views. Both men endeavored to artificially bolster the black race by “proving” their merit to white America through literature—propagandistic or not; Hurston, however, was troubled by the notion that black society was being defined against “whiteness” in culture and literature. Indeed, her works demonstrate a criticism of these black leaders: that in their quest for equality, equality was confused with mimicking whiteness. In other words, the movement for equality became lost in the quest for sameness.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2. World Citizenry and the Changing American Dream
Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1840) is best remembered for his
macabre short stories and poems. He’s often considered
the inventor of the modern short-story form and the inventor
of the modern detective story. Additionally, Poe wrote many
poems, including “The Raven” and “Annabel Lee,” and he
published literary criticism.
You will read in the biography in your textbook about Poe’s
complex and troubled life. His father abandoned his family,
his mother died when Poe was young, and Poe was taken in
by the Allan family. His relationship with the Allans
soured, and Poe eventually struggled with debt and alcoholism. Poe’s characters are
often dark and demonstrate a gothic quality. His works also tend to show the dark side
of the American Dream; materialism and competition often give way to loneliness and
isolation.
As you read “The Black Cat” this week, look for ways that the protagonist demonstrates
these qualities.
3. World Citizenry and the Changing American Dream
Robert Frost (1874-1963) is considered one of America’s
greatest poets. His poems are associated with the middle class
and known for their use of everyday language that make them
accessible to readers. Although he is commonly associated with
the “folksy” side of New England life, his work often touches on
universal themes.
As you read “Mending Wall” this week, think about what the
narrator of the poem is saying about fences and how that might
relate to the intersection of cultures. Does the narrator believe
that the fence is necessary? What does his neighbor believe,
and what might the fence represent symbolically? Why do “Good fences make good
neighbors,” and why should that thinking be challenged (Frost, 2023/1914, Vol. 2 p. 674)?
The narrator of the poem points out that the men are repairing the fence out of a sense of
tradition. The speaker of the poem says that the neighbor “will not go behind his father’s
saying” (Frost, 2023/1914, Vol. 2 p. 674). The speaker is challenging the traditional way of
thinking. Why?
4. World Citizenry and the Changing American Dream
Art Spiegelman (b. 1948) is a New-York-based American
cartoonist, editor, and comics advocate. He is best known for
his graphic novel Maus, which firmly established the relevance
of this genre. Maus describes an interview between a father
and son, Art and Vladek Spiegelman, concerning the father's
experiences during the Holocaust. The section you are reading
highlights the conflict between the father and his wife before
they have children and the way they dealt with the beginnings of
their oppression.
You can listen to an interview with Spiegelman and learn more about the making of Maus
at PBS.org's POV website.
5. World Citizenry and the Changing American Dream
Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) was born in Concord,
Massachusetts. Thoreau was also a transcendentalist. Ralph
Waldo Emerson was his good friend and mentor, and
Thoreau actually lived on Emerson's property for two years while
he wrote Walden, his most famous work. Thoreau was an
abolitionist, and he also believed in civil disobedience was a way
to effect change. These beliefs influenced his other famous
work, "Civil Disobedience," also called "Resistance to Civil
Government," in which Thoreau contends that it is man's duty to
resist unjust laws and that government should be controlled by
the people rather than controlling its citizens. This text influenced later leaders such
as Ghandi and Martin Luther King, Jr.
6. World Citizenry and the Changing American Dream
Sandra Cisneros (b. 1954) was born in Chicago and is the
daughter of a Mexican father and a Mexican American mother.
As a child, spent time living both in Chicago and in Mexico.
Her work focuses on Chicana feminism, which brings to light the
oppressive nature of both ethnic and gender bias. Chicana
feminism stresses that Chicanas face dual racism because of
both their ethnicity and their gender.
As you read the excerpt from “Woman Hollering Creek,” look for ways that Cleofilas faces
ethnic and gender bias. How does she eventually view herself?
7. World Citizenry and the Changing American Dream
William Cullen Bryant (1794-1878) was a Romantic poet who is
best remembered for the poem you are reading this week,
“Thanatopsis” (which means “a view of death” in Greek), when he
was just 17 years old. He was the editor of the famous New York
Evening Post for more than 50 years, and he used his position to
advocate for abolition, the rights of workers to unionize, and the
rights of religious minorities and immigrants.
8. World Citizenry and the Changing American Dream
Langston Hughes (1901-1967) is associated with the Harlem
Renaissance. He is best known for his poetry, although he also
wrote fiction and drama. His works show a strong association
with jazz, and his poems resonate with lyricism.
In “I, Too” and “Mother to Son,” which you are reading this
week, look for ways in which Hughes shows both the African
American struggle for equality and inclusion and the love of
music and language.
By the 1930s, he had become a political activist, and he was drawn to the ideas of racial
justice professed by the Communist Party. He was later called to testify before Senator
McCarthy's committee on subversive activity.
Instead of focusing on form in his poetry, he sought to "capture the oral and improvisatory
traditions of black culture in written form" (Levine et al., 2023, Vol. 2 p. 1068). His poems
boil over with emotionalism, anger, and confusion but are coupled with a curtailed optimism
and hope that the African American struggle may soon end.
