This document discusses theoretical modeling and optimization of ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (UV LEDs). It begins by modeling an AlGaN-GaN multi-quantum well UV LED structure using simulation software. Next, it investigates ways to optimize UV LED design by reducing dislocation densities in the active region, such as using pseudomorphic or quasi-pseudomorphic growth on bulk AlN substrates instead of sapphire substrates. The document presents results of simulating current-voltage characteristics and electroluminescence spectra of the modeled LED structure. It concludes by discussing approaches to further improve UV LED performance, such as increasing carrier concentration or using quaternary quantum wells.

Abolition A History Of Slavery And Antislavery
This document provides background information on the book "Abolition: A History of Slavery and Antislavery" by Seymour Drescher. It discusses how slavery has existed in various forms for millennia but was transformed and expanded dramatically by Europeans beginning in the 15th century, particularly in the Americas. This led to the creation of the most productive slave systems in history. However, by the late 18th century, an antislavery movement emerged in Europe and North America that successfully challenged slavery at the height of its economic importance. Over the following century, slavery was abolished in the New World and the slave trade was ended. The book examines the expansion and contraction of slavery over the last 500 years through the interaction
Critical race theory what it is and how to fight it
This document summarizes and critiques the ideology of critical race theory. It begins by explaining how critical race theory emerged from failures of traditional Marxism to gain traction in Western societies. It adapted Marxist ideas about economic class conflict and focused instead on social and racial divisions. The document then outlines the key tenets of critical race theory, including its rejection of equality in favor of "equity" based on racial categories. It argues critical race theory aims to dismantle principles like equality under the law, private property rights, and freedom of speech in pursuit of anti-capitalist and revolutionary goals. Finally, it calls for political resistance to the growing influence of critical race theory through governmental action, grassroots mobilization, and appeals to principles of
Hybrid identity and fear of the other
This document discusses several topics related to identity and fear of others. It describes four types of belonging that involve different levels of connection to religious traditions. It then discusses metaphors related to having multiple selves that can learn from one another. The document also summarizes news reports about sexual assaults in Cologne, Germany, noting that most suspects were not from war-torn countries and there is no evidence the attacks were planned. It criticizes the idea of refugees as rapists used to demonize political enemies. Finally, it discusses how ill-informed views about the "Trojan Horse" investigations in Birmingham schools are already harming community cohesion.

Rape without Women:
Print Culture and the Politicization
of Rape, 1765-1815
Sharon Block
In 1815 a legal manual added a commentary to its recital of the proper treatment of
rape. The author noted that "the material facts requisite to be given" in a trial for rape
"are highly improper to be publicly discussed, except only in a court of justice." This
sentence unintentionally pointed to a central paradox of rape: while the classification
of a given sexual interaction as a criminal and morally reprehensible act of rape
depended on specific details, those details were not fit for public exposition. Yet
Americans regularly published remarks on rape in virtually every form of print: news-
papers and almanacs, broadsides and pamphlets, novels and plays. We are accus-
tomed to historians' viewing rape within its legal setting, but there was a print world
of rape outside court proceedings and their accompanying publications. That print
world transformed rape from an intimate sexual act into a public symbol that could
define national and social boundaries.1

The back cover contains summaries from two reviewers that describe the book as examining the cultural roots and effects of the ongoing conflict in Kashmir from both a feminist postcolonial perspective and as an advocate for Kashmiri sovereignty. It reflects on the region's history over the past seven decades of being disputed between India and Pakistan and the trauma of insurgency and repression that has undermined Kashmiri culture and eroded women's roles. The author, who has family ties to Kashmir's first Prime Minister, aims to reveal how nationalist, militant, and religious forces have relegated Kashmiri women and

The Sexual Abuse of Black Men
under American Slavery
THOMAS A. FOSTER
DePaul University
In 1787 an enslaved man in Maryland raped a free black woman.
The story comes to us from the female victim in the incident, Elizabeth
Amwood. One white man, William Holland, had her "Pull up her Close
and Lie Down he then Called a Negrow Man Slave" "and ordered him to
pull Down his Britches and gitt upon the said Amwood and to bee grate
with her." A fourth individual in this horrific scene, a white man named
John Pettigrew, operating with Holland, pointed a pistol at the unnamed
enslaved man and Elizabeth Amwood. All the while, Holland taunted them
both, asking if it "was in" and "if it was sweet." Afterward, William "went
up into the Company and Called for Water to wash his hand, saying he had
bin putting a Mare to a horse."1
Scholars have suggested that rape can serve as a metaphor for enslave-
ment - thus applying to both men and women who were enslaved. As
Aliyah I. Abdur- Rahman argues, "The vulnerability of all enslaved black
persons to nearly every conceivable violation produced a collective 'raped'
subjectivity."2 The standard scholarly interpretation of how slavery affected
black manhood is perhaps best captured by the comments of one former
slave, Lewis Clarke, who declared that a slave "can't be a man" because he

FOR DISCUSSION - Analyze this article as a myth regarding TOPIC“The Enslave South”!
Stephanie McCurry's superb study of antebellum South Carolina deserves a place on the shelves and reading lists of all historians of the South and the Civil War. In lucid prose, backed up by careful and sophisticated research, she provides an answer to one of the most basic questions about the war and the region, a question best posed in the terms many professors have heard from freshmen students: "If most Southerners didn't own slaves, then why did they fight for the Confederacy?" For her answer, McCurry looks at the South Carolina Low Country.
The Low Country represents the Slave South carried to extremes, characterized as it was by huge plantations, a majority slave population, and a political system unique in the South for its elitism. South Carolina was not "the South" any more than Massachusetts was "the North," but its very nature as the extreme example of "Southern-ness" makes it an excellent place to ask some basic questions about the nature of antebellum society and its relationship to the political system. McCurry's answers demolish some deeply cherished myths about the Low Country and cast new light on some very old questions in the historiography of the South.
McCurry's book is about yeoman farmers, their families, their religion, and their relationships (political and otherwise) with the planters. McCurry notes that the very presence of yeoman farmers in the Low Country has been written out of history: they exist only as "the people" in the discourse of planter politicians. Ironically, two opposing groups are responsible for this -- the descendants of planters, who have found their self-created myth of the aristocratic Low Country both soothing and a lucrative tourist attraction, and antebellum travelers like Frederick Law Olmsted, who assumed the degredation of the non-planter white population and who usually saw in the South what he wished to see.
Through the use of quantified data, McCurry establishes the existence of yeoman farmers in the Low Country and demonstrates that they were the majority of the white male population in the region. According to McCurry, these farmers owned small amounts of land and possibly a few slaves. Their strategy for survival, as described by McCurry, will be familiar to any student of the new rural social history. They produced food first for family sustenance and then grew cotton for the market. Farmers were masters of small households and controlled the labor of their wives, their children and (if they .

This document discusses several topics related to identity and fear of others. It describes four types of belonging that involve different levels of connection to religious traditions. It then discusses metaphors related to having multiple selves that can learn from one another. The document also summarizes news reports about sexual assaults in Cologne, Germany, noting that most suspects were not from war-torn countries and there is no evidence the attacks were planned. It criticizes the idea of refugees as rapists used to demonize political enemies. Finally, it discusses how ill-informed views about the "Trojan Horse" investigations in Birmingham schools are already harming community cohesion.

Rape without Women:
Print Culture and the Politicization
of Rape, 1765-1815
Sharon Block
In 1815 a legal manual added a commentary to its recital of the proper treatment of
rape. The author noted that "the material facts requisite to be given" in a trial for rape
"are highly improper to be publicly discussed, except only in a court of justice." This
sentence unintentionally pointed to a central paradox of rape: while the classification
of a given sexual interaction as a criminal and morally reprehensible act of rape
depended on specific details, those details were not fit for public exposition. Yet
Americans regularly published remarks on rape in virtually every form of print: news-
papers and almanacs, broadsides and pamphlets, novels and plays. We are accus-
tomed to historians' viewing rape within its legal setting, but there was a print world
of rape outside court proceedings and their accompanying publications. That print
world transformed rape from an intimate sexual act into a public symbol that could
define national and social boundaries.1

2) In the letter, King defends the use of nonviolent direct action and civil disobedience to achieve civil rights. He argues that true civil rights cannot be achieved without such direct actions.
3) King also discusses themes of race, religion, justice, and morality. He believes that all people are equal regardless of race and that justice and fairness for all is a Christian value.
Islam, Women, and Violence in Kashmir: Between India and Pakistan
This document provides information about the book "Islam, Women, and Violence in Kashmir" by Nyla Ali Khan. The back cover contains summaries from two reviewers that describe the book as examining the cultural roots and effects of the ongoing conflict in Kashmir from both a feminist postcolonial perspective and as an advocate for Kashmiri sovereignty. It reflects on the region's history over the past seven decades of being disputed between India and Pakistan and the trauma of insurgency and repression that has undermined Kashmiri culture and eroded women's roles. The author, who has family ties to Kashmir's first Prime Minister, aims to reveal how nationalist, militant, and religious forces have relegated Kashmiri women and

The Sexual Abuse of Black Men
under American Slavery
THOMAS A. FOSTER
DePaul University
In 1787 an enslaved man in Maryland raped a free black woman.
The story comes to us from the female victim in the incident, Elizabeth
Amwood. One white man, William Holland, had her "Pull up her Close
and Lie Down he then Called a Negrow Man Slave" "and ordered him to
pull Down his Britches and gitt upon the said Amwood and to bee grate
with her." A fourth individual in this horrific scene, a white man named
John Pettigrew, operating with Holland, pointed a pistol at the unnamed
enslaved man and Elizabeth Amwood. All the while, Holland taunted them
both, asking if it "was in" and "if it was sweet." Afterward, William "went
up into the Company and Called for Water to wash his hand, saying he had
bin putting a Mare to a horse."1
Scholars have suggested that rape can serve as a metaphor for enslave-
ment - thus applying to both men and women who were enslaved. As
Aliyah I. Abdur- Rahman argues, "The vulnerability of all enslaved black
persons to nearly every conceivable violation produced a collective 'raped'
subjectivity."2 The standard scholarly interpretation of how slavery affected
black manhood is perhaps best captured by the comments of one former
slave, Lewis Clarke, who declared that a slave "can't be a man" because he

FOR DISCUSSION - Analyze this article as a myth regarding TOPIC“The Enslave South”!
Stephanie McCurry's superb study of antebellum South Carolina deserves a place on the shelves and reading lists of all historians of the South and the Civil War. In lucid prose, backed up by careful and sophisticated research, she provides an answer to one of the most basic questions about the war and the region, a question best posed in the terms many professors have heard from freshmen students: "If most Southerners didn't own slaves, then why did they fight for the Confederacy?" For her answer, McCurry looks at the South Carolina Low Country.
The Low Country represents the Slave South carried to extremes, characterized as it was by huge plantations, a majority slave population, and a political system unique in the South for its elitism. South Carolina was not "the South" any more than Massachusetts was "the North," but its very nature as the extreme example of "Southern-ness" makes it an excellent place to ask some basic questions about the nature of antebellum society and its relationship to the political system. McCurry's answers demolish some deeply cherished myths about the Low Country and cast new light on some very old questions in the historiography of the South.
McCurry's book is about yeoman farmers, their families, their religion, and their relationships (political and otherwise) with the planters. McCurry notes that the very presence of yeoman farmers in the Low Country has been written out of history: they exist only as "the people" in the discourse of planter politicians. Ironically, two opposing groups are responsible for this -- the descendants of planters, who have found their self-created myth of the aristocratic Low Country both soothing and a lucrative tourist attraction, and antebellum travelers like Frederick Law Olmsted, who assumed the degredation of the non-planter white population and who usually saw in the South what he wished to see.
Through the use of quantified data, McCurry establishes the existence of yeoman farmers in the Low Country and demonstrates that they were the majority of the white male population in the region. According to McCurry, these farmers owned small amounts of land and possibly a few slaves. Their strategy for survival, as described by McCurry, will be familiar to any student of the new rural social history. They produced food first for family sustenance and then grew cotton for the market. Farmers were masters of small households and controlled the labor of their wives, their children and (if they .

Race, Science, and Medicine: Enacting Slavery in Medicine
This document summarizes key concepts around the development of racial ideologies and the enactment of slavery from the 15th century onward. It discusses how proto-racist attitudes emerged in medieval Iberia during the Reconquista and how the concept of "limpieza de sangre" or blood purity developed in Spain to distinguish between Old and New Christians. It then outlines how the transatlantic slave trade began and how Europeans justified the enslavement of Africans on religious grounds. The document also summarizes the establishment of slavery and systems of racial classification in European colonies in the Americas.

This document describes a new minor in History of War & Society. The minor explores how civil and international wars have shaped politics, society, and culture through experiences of violence and conflict. Courses examine how wars create conditions for broader changes to concepts like territory, sovereignty, citizenship, gender, and race as people serve in battle and on the home front. The minor considers both military history and war's linkages to social, political, and cultural formations over time.
