This document provides an analysis of Jhumpa Lahiri's representations of Indian immigrant women in her fiction. It examines how Lahiri's early works depict conventional images of Indian femininity that align with socio-historical constructions, portraying first-generation immigrant women as confined to domestic roles and tasked with upholding cultural traditions. However, the document argues that Lahiri's novel The Lowland breaks from these stereotypes through the character of Gauri, who crosses both physical and ideological boundaries. By giving voice to individual experiences, Lahiri challenges homogenizing narratives of diaspora and depicts how immigration involves navigating specific socio-cultural contexts for women.
This document provides an abstract and introduction for a paper that analyzes Jhumpa Lahiri's novel The Namesake. It explores themes of diasporic identity, hybridization, and cultural conflict experienced by immigrant characters. The protagonist Gogol struggles with his Indian name and heritage as he tries to fit into American culture. While he attempts to erase his past, he ultimately realizes he cannot change his identity and must find peace with his roots. The work examines how characters negotiate life across cultures and the trans-cultural dilemmas that challenge their sense of belonging.

Lila Quintero Weaver's graphic memoir Darkroom recounts her childhood experience immigrating from Argentina to Marion, Alabama in 1961 and coming of age as a Latina girl in the segregated American South during the civil rights movement. Through vivid illustrations and dialogue, Weaver shares witnessing key moments in the civil rights struggle from her privileged perspective as an educated, middle-class Latino family. As a child who was neither black nor white, she observed the inequalities in American culture and struggled to understand race relations and find her place in society. Darkroom offers a unique window into the civil rights era through the eyes of a young immigrant girl.
Charles White's 1953 drawing Harvest Talk depicts two rural farmworkers sharpening a scythe during the fall harvest. White uses charcoal and other drawing materials to meticulously render the figures and landscape. Through his technical skill and symbolic portrayal of ordinary workers, White aims to make a universal statement about human dignity and the history of black people in America. The drawing represents White's mature style from the 1950s, when he shifted his focus from historical black leaders to everyday people in an effort to reach wider audiences with his message of social justice and racial pride.

The document discusses the origins and mission of Chicana feminism. It originated in political activism in communities to end the oppression of women. Chicana feminism is distinct from mainstream feminism and Chicano perspectives in addressing the intersections of gender, race, class, culture and sexuality. A key text was "Bridge Called My Back" which documented the experiences of women of color excluded from the white women's movement. The mission of Chicana feminism is to represent these intersections through writing and reject being defined by dominant gender and racial roles. Chicana writers face obstacles in accessing literacy and resources but draw from their identities as working-class women of color.
This document discusses constructing a framework to analyze short stories by Filipino Chinese women writers. It begins by noting that Philippine literature has traditionally excluded these writers due to preferences for certain languages and lack of representation of minority groups. It then outlines objectives to integrate Filipino Chinese women into Philippine women's literature through their short fiction. Next, it discusses limitations of postcolonial feminism and how transnational feminism provides a better framework through its concept of a "transnational feminist counterpublic." This counterpublic allows for hybridity and renegotiation of identities for Filipino Chinese women. The document examines archetypes for Filipina identity and proposes a new "Tsinay" archetype for these writers. It concludes that a transnational

Both artists reclaim representations of Aboriginal women's bodies and identities.
The document discusses representations of ethnic minorities in the media. It argues that media portrayals are shaped by dominant ideological perspectives that serve to control identities. Stuart Hall proposes that the media produces representations of social worlds through images and portrayals that disseminate ideology. Identity should be seen as fluid and constantly evolving rather than fixed. Research shows ethnic minorities tend to be underrepresented or stereotypically portrayed in the media, subordinating them to white ideological hegemony. The repetitive framing of particular images leads audiences to see them as definitive of certain groups.

The counterculture movement of the 1960s originated from young Americans rebelling against mainstream values and priorities. They believed society's values were hollow and its focus was misplaced. Inspired by the Beat generation of the 1950s, the counterculture movement grew out of opposition to the Vietnam War, racial discrimination, and environmental pollution. They advocated for a culture based on peace and love as an alternative to the mainstream.

-What is at least one of Giddings' stated reasons for writing this essay?
-What is at least 2 arguments Giddings makes and how does he support (or not support) same?
-Of the 4 Africanisms (oral, spiritual, communal, & matrifocal) argued to exist in Jay-Z's work, which one is the most convincing to you that African Americans have an African cultural heritage; and how does Giddings support the claim?
-Have you ever witnessed these Africanisms, or cultural values, in action within a Black community; how so?
-After considering Jay-Z’s oeuvre, and that of other emcees, do you view Hip-hop as a strength or a challenge in African American communities; how so?
-What are you left wondering about; what questions remain unanswered in your mind? (required!)
It’s Giddings’s belief that Jay-Z’s work and particularly his lyrics can aid in illustrating African Cultural characteristics. These characteristics are innate to African Americans since, throughout most of U.S history, African Americans were not allowed to integrate into European American culture through practices such as slavery and segregation. Since Jay-Z is arguably one of the most accomplished hip-hop emcees’, his musical works are known world-wide, providing a framework for examining and understanding the value and contribution of hip-hop towards African American cultural core values.
Although Africa is vast and diverse with over 2000 languages, there exists a cultural unity among Africans as a result of some widely share traditions. These traditions include the adoration of ancestors, elders, and motherhood, the inseparability of spirituality and secular realms, matrilineal family organization, bride-wealth practices, and or record keeping. African American artists are compelled by core impulses to innovate Africanism culture across generations. Such impulses are articulated through imperatives as well as questions as the hip-hop culture evolves. Lastly, black culture is a derivative of African culture and according to historian James Sidbury, the idea of Africa is a creation of the socio-historic power of solemn African descendants in varied areas of the vast African migration.
Of the 4 Africanisms argued to exist in Jay-Z's work his notion of spirituality, religiosity and ethics are the most convincing that African Americans culture encompass African original culture. This is supported by Giddings when he claims that Jay-Z’s hip-hop practices such as the use of free-style ciphers. It is evident that in African culture, songs and dances were used during traditional ceremonies used to contact spirits and ancestors. Similarly, beyond the lyrics of Jay-Z’s tracks, the full depth of spirituality is experienced in his ciphers and live performances.

Betye Saar and Mildred Howard

2. Curatorial Statement
“African American artists are energetic participants in a cultural revolution.”
- Mary Jane Hewitt
To strengthen their role in society, artists like Betye Saar and Mildred Howard, have become
dominating voices regarding the oppression and racism their culture has faced for centuries. Using
their heritage as an element in their art, both artists have touched on slavery, violence, racism, war
and the exploitation of African Americans throughout the 20th century. It is within these elements
that their voice resonates with clarity and is able to speak beyond the color of their skin to the
problems facing African Americans today. Their common goal is to point out how the perception of
history is flawed, and in order to move forward in history, we must not try to forget the foundations
in which the African American culture has been built. However, we must accept the past, as it is, to be
able to move beyond it without it hurting our future.
This exhibition showcases Saar and Howard’s ability to bring their voices to the forefront of the
African American culture struggle. It convey’s the inability to view themselves, as a whole culture, as
better than their past due to the continued oppression they face in the 21st century, from society and
amongst themselves, despite all the aggressions they have surmounted.

The stars, the cards, the mystic vigil

By shifting the point of view

Free to create.
- Betye Saar, 1998
About The Artist:
Betye Saar was born in Los Angeles, California, but, at the age of five, moved with her mother and
family into her Great-Aunt’s home in Pasadena. She attended Pasadena City College and finished her
degree in Design in 1949 at the University of California. After graduating, Saar worked in Social Work
while also attending state fairs and community art competitions. In 1952, Saar met and married her
husband, Richard, and had two children, Lezley in 1953 and Allison in 1958. In 1962, Betye completed
Graduate Studies work at California State university; Long Beach, University of Southern California and
California State University; Northridge.
Saar was heavily influenced by a 1967 Exhibition featuring Joseph Cornell and began working in
Assemblage. She began creating work typically consisting of found objects arranged within boxes or
windows, with items drawing on various cultures reflecting Saar's own mixed ancestry: African-
American, Irish and Native American. After participating in the civil rights and black arts movements of
the 1970s, Saar’s art began to challenge stereotypes and battle cultural myths.

As one of her most well-known pieces,
Saar addresses the image of the Mammy
and the propagandistic use of black
history to sell pancake batter and
syrup. Standing on a field of cotton
while gripping a broom in one hand, a
shotgun in the other in front of a black
hand clutched into a fist, Saar
expresses her view on the identity of
African American women. A
stereotyped image that must be taken
back from the societal oppressions of
the prior decades leading up to the
civil rights movement.

rise of the civil rights movement in the 1960s, Saar’s assemblage and collage constructions merged
personal and family history with broader themes of cultural and political segregation. This work
alludes to the outdated pseudoscience of phrenology, which raised questions about an individual
based on the measurements of the head. Saar separates the science (left) from the stereotype
(right) as two entities part of a whole.

In another commentary about African-
American women and the Mammy
figure, Saar has pinned nearly illegible
grocery lists on a serving platter and
spread the word “Equality” across all
three lists. The ignorance in the
phrasing “We wants today? We Needs
Today? Oh! i needs” at the top of the
lists is a poke of mockery at the lack of
education of African Americans and yet
their ability to be capable enough to
care for whole families and cook large
meals as evidence of their intelligence
and the importance of equality for both
men and women.

Throughout her career, Saar has been collecting
ordinary household items, including various
types of cages, from flea markets, yard sales
and antique shops. these cages became the
basis for a “Cage” series in which Saar uses
them to represent physical and metaphorical
incarceration, as well as resilience and survival.
Bringing attention to the death of slaves on long
oversea voyages, Saar encapsulates the
unknown and already silent voices of her
ancestors.

Another piece in her “Cage” Series, Saar’s crow
is nearly bursting out of the gilded cage in which
he is jailed. Shackled and weighed, with an
antique mammy on top as a subtle reminder,
Saar reminds the African American of the 21st
century about their roots. Her voice about the
illusion of acceptance regarding the color of a
person’s skin is blatant and without censor.
9. Mildred Howard

b.1945
About the Artist:
Born in San Francisco, but raised in Berkley, California, Mildred
Howard’s parents were politically active in their community regarding
social issues, and encouraged their daughter to do the same. At a
young age, Howard participated in youth protests about segregation
in the Berkeley school system. She graduated fromShe received an
Associate of Arts Degree and Certificate in Fashion Arts from the
College of Alameda in 1977 and an MFA in 1985 from the Fiber-
works Center from the Textile Arts at John F. Kennedy University.
Highly praised around San Francisco, Howard has been critically
acclaimed and exhibited through the United States and across
Europe.
One could go about their day, doing things
as they normally would, one step after
another, but sometimes something happens
that forces you to look at things differently.
What would happen if you didn't do that?
You're forced to look at things differently,
and everything is turned upside down. That
happens in life.

Using old Bond records, family portraits and war
Savings Bonds, Howard created a collage about
the history of a simple African-American family.
The Contributions of African Americans to the
many wars throughout history without
recognition are unmeasured and will never be
appreciated. “I am a percenter” is stamped at
the bottom and barely noticeable, but reminds
the audience of the percenters during wartimes
as true patriots. Howard brings attention to the
liberty and property rights of every person
without regard to race or creed.

This installation illustrates the face of a young
African American WWII G.I. on more than a
dozen stands of military dressed soldiers.
Howard uses the image to, again, recall the
contributions made by African Americans who
went on to fight for American freedoms that they
would never have themselves.

is the materialization of its title, a baker’s
phrase imagined as sculpture. Two baker’s
gloves hold a rolling pin as if rolling out
dough for a pie, but have a glossy pair of red
lips flattened upon them. the lips are painted
resin cast from the artist’s mouth, along with
a cleft of brown skin between her upper lip
and nose. This may be Howard’s most
surreal image but brings to mind the
housemaid, or Mammy, role most African
American women upheld and responsible for
cooking, cleaning and caring for their
charges children; Aunt Jemima?

This piece, two books gouged with holes clear
through the spine, are exhibited as the

Forgetting parts of history that are
embarrassing, painful, shameful or too
insignificant to print, Howard gives a voice to
those events that make up the history of African
Americans. Howard also references the gun
culture stereotype of African American
communities and the damage that they inflict
upon themselves, as well as others during the
21st century.

This installation of objects is a ceiling-high outline of a small house whose steel lines are gilded with
butter knives placed end-to-end, and whose floor is filled with polished and tarnished silver
tableware. At the same time, a host of platters, goblets, and serving trays stream out one end of the
house along the wooden gallery floor toward a wall punctured with dozens of cutting knives, As if
Howard is making a nod to the gilded cages of houses. This rapid transition from domestic
containment to the projection of rage references the safe houses that were integral parts of the
Underground Railroad and the domestic violence riddling African American cultures of the 21st
century.
