The document summarizes Elliott Liebow's book "Tally's Corner", an observational study of a group of unemployed African American men in Washington D.C. in the 1960s. The study provided an intimate look at poverty in America and established the concept of "thick description" in qualitative research. It is frequently cited by other researchers studying poverty and culture. While the book provided access to lives researchers may not directly experience, the author notes being remiss with some observations as an African American woman who grew up in poverty in the South.

2014.9 journal of literature and art studiesDoris Carly
This document summarizes Jean-Paul Sartre's analysis of "Negro poetry" from the Negritude movement as featured in his work Black Orpheus. It begins by examining the racial context between Europeans and Blacks that Sartre outlines, with Europeans dominant over Blacks. It then discusses how the Negritude movement and Negro poetry attempted to subvert this dominance through anti-racist political stances and innovative cultural works. However, it argues that this poetry did not fully challenge racist and sexist biases against Black women in European culture. While Negro poetry was an important step, Sartre viewed Negritude as just a stage in developing Black consciousness.
Here are the key points I gathered from the introduction:
- Identity categories, while constructed, remain fixed and serve to indicate social position and control groups. However, there is a desire to expand and dismantle rigid identity categories.
- Government forms and applications still assume heterosexuality and a gender binary of male and female. They do not allow for flexibility in expressing queer identities or distinguishing between sex and gender.
- Sex refers to biological attributes, while gender refers to behaviors and characteristics. Neither exists as a strict binary, as shown by intersex and genderqueer people.
- Untangling gender from its assumed connection to biological sex would dismantle another restrictive identity category and allow freer gender expression beyond traditional masculine/

This document describes a study that investigated the antibacterial and phytochemical properties of Calotropis procera leaf extracts against antibiotic-resistant bacteria isolated from hospital patients' wound samples. Extracts from C. procera leaves were tested against six bacteria species using the agar well diffusion method. The ethanol extract showed the highest antibacterial activity, inhibiting the growth of two bacterial species. Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, terpenoids, cardiac glycosides and phenols in the extracts. The results indicate that C. procera leaf extracts have antibacterial effects and could help treat wound infections, especially against Staphyloc
This document discusses a study that tested the phytochemical and antibacterial activities of Calotropis procera leaf extracts against antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The study found that ethanol and cold water extracts of C. procera leaves contained phytochemicals like alkaloids and flavonoids. The ethanol extract showed the highest antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy identified functional groups in the active extracts, including phenols, hydroxyl, carbon-hydrogen and carbonyl groups. The results suggest that C. procera leaf extracts have potential antibacterial properties for treating wound infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Indonesian Theater - MAPEH 8 (Music 4th Quarter)Carlo Luna
Shadow puppet theater, known as wayang kulit, is a traditional Indonesian puppet theater that uses leather puppets. The dalang, or puppeteer, manipulates the puppets from behind a screen as they tell stories from Hindu epics accompanied by a gamelan orchestra. The dalang voices all the characters, taps signals to the musicians, and occasionally sings mood songs called suluk between parts of the performance. Wayang kulit was performed in royal courts and remains an important part of Indonesian culture today.
African-American Children’s Picturebooks: Examining the Genres of Childhood,...Angelina Bair, MLIS
A virtual presentation for the Derail Forum (Diversity, Equity, Race, Accessibility, and Identity in LIS) on March 4, 2017 at Simmons College on updated research on African-American children's literature and its impact on young Black children.
African-American Children’s Picturebooks: Examining the Genres of Childhood, ...Angelina Bair, MLIS
By tracing a genre of resistance and cultural identity through African-American children’s picturebooks we can learn about the importance of how children understand themselves and their place within the community. Even during the current Golden Age of publishing, picturebooks still continue to lack African-American writers and illustrators. The question of why this is happening will be covered throughout this study by investigating statistical and scholarly sources. Also, the history of how African-Americans were portrayed in picturebooks through racist and stereotypical portrayals will be examined. Even today scholars continue to debate as to whether published works for children continue to contain racist depictions of Blacks. African-American children’s literature can be used as a tool to discuss how to reimagine racist stereotypes and be aware of the racist history within the stories marketed to children. The political benefit of teaching African-American picturebooks within community settings has key value for children of all races and backgrounds and provides role models that validate the importance of the Black experience in literature. Positive portrayals of African-Americans teach Black children the importance of diversity and prepare them for adulthood. By highlighting African-American children’s literature through, before or after school programs and camps, children will learn the importance of the Black cultural experience and understand the value of sharing and recognizing in the positive depictions of everyday Black life.
