Langston Hughes was an influential African American writer in the early 20th century who expressed the social oppression of black culture through his poetry and writing.

The document also mentions courses on these topics taught by Vicki Callahan at the USC Institute for Multimedia Literacy.

Both McKay and Hurston pushed boundaries in their portrayals of African Americans but faced criticism from some in the black community.
Social realism genre research
Social realism focuses on portraying the lives of the poor and working class, often critically examining the systems that perpetuate their circumstances. The genre originated in British films of the 1960s that used rough narratives, black and white aesthetics, and nonprofessional actors to authentically represent working class lives that were rarely seen in mainstream cinema. Key conventions include urban settings like council estates, and exploring issues like drugs, poverty, sex, crime, politics and religion from the perspective of teenagers to make the films relatable to younger audiences.

Kendrick Lamar 6
This document provides context for understanding contemporary mainstream rap music through analyzing the influence of corporate consolidation in the music industry. It discusses how major record labels promote and market black music, including rap, through separate divisions focused on black cultural products. This structures hip hop as a commercial industry rather than an artistic expression. The document analyzes how consolidation narrowed the creative space for rap music by absorbing independent labels that drove innovation. It finds top-selling rap songs reflected this narrowing by emphasizing proven formulas of success and taking fewer artistic risks. Kendrick Lamar's music is presented as defying this trend by producing commercially successful rap that offers empowering messages and challenges to dominant ideologies.

Author Profile
Bharati Mukherjee was born to an upper-caste Bengali family and received an English education. The most important event of her life occurred in her early twenties, when she received a scholarship to attend the University of Iowa’s Writer’s Workshop. Her fiction reflects the experimental techniques fostered at such influential creative writing schools.
At the University of Iowa, Mukherjee met Clark Blaise, a Canadian citizen and fellow student. When they moved to Canada she became painfully aware of her status as a nonwhite immigrant in a nation less tolerant of newcomers than the United States. The repeated humiliations she endured made her hypersensitive to the plight of immigrants from the Third World. She realized that immigrants may lose their old identities but not be able to find new identities as often unwelcome strangers.
Mukherjee, relying on her experience growing up, sought her salvation in education. She obtained a Ph.D. in English and Comparative Literature and moved up the career ladder at various colleges and universities in the East and Midwest until she became a professor at Berkeley in 1989. Her first novel, The Tiger’s Daughter, was published in 1972. In common with all her fiction, it deals with the feelings of exile and identity confusion that are experienced by immigrants. Being female as well as an immigrant, Mukherjee noted that opportunities for women were so different in America that she was exhilarated and bewildered. Many of her best stories, dealing with women experiencing gender crises, have a strong autobiographical element.
Darkness, her first collection of stories, was well reviewed, but not until the publication of The Middleman and Other Stories did she become internationally prominent. Critics have recognized that she is dealing with perhaps the most important contemporary phenomenon, the population explosion and flood of immigrants from have-not nations. Mukherjee makes these newcomers understandable to themselves and to native citizens, while shedding light on the identity problems of all the anonymous, inarticulate immigran ...

The document provides information about the Harlem Renaissance period between World War I and the Great Depression when black artists and writers flourished.

However, financial backing declined in the early 1930s due to the economic depression, bringing an end to the Renaissance. The document also introduces the poet Langston Hughes and author Zora Neale Hurston, discussing some of their notable works.
Mark Twain final presentation Professor Owens English Comp
Mark Twain held complex and sometimes contradictory views on race that evolved over time and are reflected in his writings. Many of his early works incorporated racial slurs and stereotypical depictions of African Americans and Native Americans. However, his views became more progressive later in life after traveling the world and witnessing the effects of imperialism. While Twain was against slavery and racism, some of his depictions of minorities were criticized even in his own time as promoting harmful stereotypes.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
