How has race been constructed in Sapphire?Belinda Raji
This document analyzes how race is constructed in the 1959 British film "Sapphire". It discusses how Sapphire's blackness is revealed through stereotypes and essentialism rather than factual attributes. The film links black people with sexuality, exoticism, and lack of restraint through Sapphire's clothing and time spent at a club where she danced with black men. Music is also used to imply black people's natural rhythm and connection to the jungle. The film presents the view that if racial boundaries are crossed, such as Sapphire's relationship with a white man, punishment will ensue, as seen by her murder. Overall, the document examines how the film constructs blackness through stereotypical signs rather than visual evidence.
This document is the 20th anniversary edition of the novel Stone Butch Blues by Leslie Feinberg. The novel tells the story of a transgender woman in the 1960s and 70s and explores themes of gender, sexuality, class and politics. The document includes a table of contents, front matter with quotes praising the novel, and information about the author and their advocacy work. It dedicates the book to transgender activist CeCe McDonald and includes excerpts of writings by McDonald about solidarity and resistance.
The document criticizes the belief that inhuman systems are superior to human governance. It argues that large government systems become detached from humanity over time, developing rigid rules and priorities that fail to account for human individuality and flexibility. As such systems grow, they are controlled less by people and more by their own internal logic and the interests of political elites. This results in an inhuman, tyrannical form of governance that threatens individual liberty and no longer serves the public interest.
The document discusses several topics related to movies, music, and literature. It provides clues and questions about famous works, characters, actors, and events. Users are asked to identify people, titles, and other details referenced in the text. The questions cover a wide range of subjects and media to test knowledge in these cultural domains.
The document summarizes Tom Driscoll's change in behavior after discovering his black ancestry. It describes how he took on characteristics of the "nigger" inside him, feeling embarrassed, afraid and hunted. He began giving way to white people and making excuses to not socialize equally with whites. His strange conduct confused people. The summary analyzes this change from a post-colonial perspective, exploring whether Tom was trying to prove his whiteness at all costs after facing his black identity. It also notes potential connections to W.E.B. Du Bois's story about double consciousness.

MELBOURNE, FLORIDA (MARCH 2008)
Blame it on the Melbourne Beach Public Library. Had they not stocked a visually powerful
documentary called Death in Gaza, I probably would have slept that night two months ago.ÂÂ
Instead, shortly after midnight I pushed back the recliner in my sister's living room and began to
watch the film. My mind quickly leaned back as well, back to the hardest place I've ever been:
Rafah, a town in Gaza.
The film follows the lives of three Palestinian boys growing up in Rafah and attempts to understand
what motivates and perpetuates the hatred all too common (but by no means ubiquitous) in
Palestine. It introduces the viewer to Arab hospitality, but also to violence and the cult of
martyrdom. It takes us through classrooms and morgues, into homes and conversations, and
shows us the faces of parents watching their children die. The film is anything but a comfortable
experience. But at the end it becomes even more uncomfortable when James Miller -- the
award-winning cameraman whose work many of you have likely seen on CNN, including "Unholy
War" and "Beneath the Veil" -- is killed instantly by a bullet fired from an Israeli tank.
I'm writing this article because his death occurred five years ago this week (May 3, 2003). As
we begin to approach Memorial Day in the U.S., I want to also remember those who have died in
conflict zones who were not soldiers, especially those who took risks to bring us stories and images
2. we otherwise wouldn't have heard or seen. But I'm also writing in keeping with my conviction
that travel is about more than cruises and holidays; it is also about the opportunity to see how others
live, to reflect on what it means spend a few decades on this Earth, and to see how we are all parts
of a whole.

RAFAH (MAY 2003)
There is a danger to writing about a place or event after much time has passed, particularly when
writing from an environment of calm (I type now from a library nestled in the mountains of northeast
Tennessee). This is especially true when the place you are writing about is a place of
considerable violence and risk. The writing loses something, namely, I think, a kind of emotional
accuracy. But that may be for the best.
I visited Rafah for only a few hours on May 5, 2003. Located right
against the border with Egypt, Rafah, with its population of 140,000, was a place where militants
used children as lookouts, where bulldozers tore into homes and bullets into people, where Israeli
soldiers sometimes fired their weapons not because you were a threat but because you were unliked,
3. where hatred was at times so free-flowing and deep that you had the sensation of drowning.  The
symbols and signs of hate were everywhere: in the guns, the bullet-scarred walls, the maimed, the
sniper towers, the rubble. Rafah was a place where even broken chunks of concrete elicited a
visceral reaction, because you associated those blocks -- they were pieces of the hundreds of
Palestinian homes which recently had been demolished -- with broken lives.
But Rafah was a Warning: Movers Services place where beauty happened, too. While
controversial, there was beauty in the international activists such as Rachel Corrie who were there
to put their bodies in front of bulldozers and sleep in the homes of frightened families. There
was beauty in Billie Moskona-Lerman, an Israeli journalist writing for the popular paper Ma'ariv,
who entered Gaza under the guise of a French journalist so that she could witness things
firsthand. Her article, one of the most stunning I've read, illustrates the power of meeting your
"enemy."  Here is the conclusion of her story:
It was at 7.30 that I went with Laura and Joe to stay the night in the house of Muhammad Jamil
Kushta, the first house fronting the IDF position on the Egyptian border, an ill-fated house.
There, in Jamil's house under the ceaseless shooting, guns, missiles, rockets and only the devil
knows what else, for four consecutive hours, truly feeling that these might be my last moments, I
gambled and revealed my identity as an Israeli from Tel-Aviv.
Then I said that my own sons might be among the soldiers shooting at us, not knowing that I was
there in the house they were shooting at, or it might be one of my sons' friends who had visited my
home. And that was the moment we started to look at each other and laugh. Three babies, two
Americans, a Palestinian couple and an Israeli woman all sitting around a big bowl of salad, with
bullets whistling through the air, we started to laugh.
A laughter of despair, of apprehension, of relief at the human closeness which we suddenly found. I
knew that with some luck I would get through the night and run for my life, but Jamil and Nora had
no escape, that they were doomed to raise their three babies under live fire.
And then Laura opened her mouth to reveal that she was Jewish too, and rather an observant Jewess
too. And it turned out that the fiery Alice, the group's "Jeanne d'Arc", the Israel-hater, was Jewish
too.
"And the soldiers" said Jamil "they too are just 20-year old children who have to stand out there,
alone in the dark, shaking, within the cold steel".
We all agreed: life is short and human beings are silly creatures.
ÂÂ
I traveled to Rafah with two Swedish friends who worked in Gaza City. Traveling from Gaza City
by taxi, we were dropped off in Rafah at an apartment rented by several international activists.ÂÂ
As far as we knew they were the only Westerners living in Rafah, and we hoped they could show us
the town. In the apartment I took a seat on the floor and found myself staring at the walls,
knowing that people who were now gone had so recently lived in this very room. Rachel Corrie,
from Washington State, had been run over and killed by an Israeli bulldozer less than two months
earlier on March 16. On April 11, Tom Hurndall, from England, was shot in the head by an
Israeli sniper (he would die of his injury by year's end). Both these events happened while I was
working with the World Council of Churches in the West Bank, and now as I sat in this Gaza
4. apartment I felt Rachel and Tom's presence -- or their absence? -- in a profound way.
After sharing a customary tea in the apartment, a local Palestinian who was a friend of the activists
took us on a tour of town. We were also joined by one of the activists, an American in his late
30s who had fought in the first Gulf War and was now taking several weeks off work back in the
States to do what humanitarian things he could to help the people of Rafah. In only a few
minutes we reached the "end" of town -- at least the part of town where houses still stood.ÂÂ
Beyond this point was a sea of rubble, as if some giant hand had run over the edge of Rafah and
broken it to bits. (Between September 2000 and March 2005, the UN recorded 1,728 homes in Rafah
demolished by Israeli actions along the border with Egypt. Israel said this was necessary to
widen the border zone between Rafah and Egypt. The difficulty was that these were the homes -
- i.e., the life savings -- of ordinary people who received no compensation for their loss.)
Our walking soon brought us to the scene of James Miller's death. A flak-jacket clad team from
the British Embassy in Tel Aviv had returned with Saira Shah, Miller's coworker and the film's
narrator, and were videoing her as she reenacted the events of that night. She had been
standing beside him when the bullet ripped through his neck three days earlier; now she was on her
knees in the dirt, her voice straining slightly as she told what happened. Everyone around her
was silent. It was a silence born of respect and sadness, but also of acute awareness at how
randomly death happens in a place like Rafah. One moment drinking tea, cooking dinner, or
gripping a camera; the next moment mangled and irrevocably gone.
ÂÂ
ÂÂ
5. Saira Shah is on the right
ÂÂ
We continued walking and were soon drawn toward the sound of a bulldozer, demolishing yet
another home at the end of a street. As we drew within a block of the scene, we walked so that
we were flush against the buildings on the right side of the road, well aware of an Israeli sniper
tower's clear view of the other side. As I took in the sound of the diesel engine, metal treads,
and crumbling concrete, I also took in the children who were playing smack in the middle of this
surreal setting. Not even 100 yards from where the bulldozer was at work destroying a
neighbor's home -- and in clear view of the sniper tower -- the children played.
ÂÂ
6. ÂÂ
About 200 yards further down the street (out of view) is the Egyptian border. The last home on
the left is the one where I was invited in.
ÂÂ
A family stood inside the home adjacent to the one being demolished. When they saw my
camera they invited me inside to take a picture of the bulldozer from their kitchen window. (I
could hear but not see Top 70 Funny Movers Services Quotes the bulldozer from where I stood.)ÂÂ
The problem was that I would have to cross the street -- i.e., come into view of the sniper tower -- for
a couple seconds as I did that. A bigger problem, however, was that after taking the picture I
would then have to exit the house in full view of the sniper tower.ÂÂ
And so the debate began, a score of neighbors passionately hollering at one other from their open
windows. Some said I would be fine; others were convinced the soldier in the tower would kill
me as soon as he saw my camera, or even my white skin. "This month," one woman exclaimed,
"it is even more dangerous being a foreigner than a Palestinian!" I wanted in that house so
badly but was acutely aware of the risks in entering and exiting it. As the neighbors continued
their audible debate and I conducted one of my own in silence, my Swedish friend Joanna, probably
noticing Beware The Movers Services Scam the tension on my face, looked at me with a razor sharp
expression of her own. It was a look that said, "We're talking about death. You don't die for
a picture. You don't take a picture in a place where three people have already been gunned
down or shoved into the dirt, where their deaths are still so fresh, so covered up, so unaccounted
for. You don't die because death, particularly the sort that might be waiting across the street, is
horrific and does violence to those who survive as well." Then she turned away.
In the end, I decided not to make the uncertain five-second journey to the house. While I
thought I probably could have gone in and out just fine, I also knew this was Rafah, particularly
Rafah in the Spring of '03, and that death flew through the air for the silliest of reasons. As I
looked into the dirt between where I stood and the house only a few feet away, the image of my body
7. lying in the dirt was too real. So was Joanna's face, which had the frozen look of one braced for
the possibility of seeing the dead.
On the way back to Rafah we had one other scare, but it lasted only a moment: In 2003, the
road between Rafah and Gaza City was dissected by an Israeli checkpoint -- the most heavily
fortified checkpoint in the Occupied Territories. The soldiers were invisible inside their
concrete pillbox, which had a bulletproof slit of glass in the middle for them to see through.ÂÂ
To prevent suicide bombers from detonating cars at the checkpoint, no single-occupant car was
allowed to approach the pillbox (for a shekel or two, children offered their services to fill up a car
needing to get through), and each car had to stop some 50 yards away from the pillbox until an
order was shouted over a loudspeaker granting permission to proceed through. The scare came
when an order was shouted: the loudspeaker was so garbled that we couldn't tell if the soldier
was telling us to go or stay stopped. Our driver thought go; another Palestinian in the car
thought stop. The order was yelled again over the loudspeaker, and our driver inched forward
to the frightened protest of the other Palestinian. Then the order -- whatever it was -- was yelled
again, even louder! None of us could be sure if the soldier was mad that we were moving slowly,
that we were disobeying an order to stop, or what. The driver said we could be shot if we didn't
continue forward, the other Palestinian said we could be shot if we didn't stop. Aware of the
ease with which machine gun fire could pour through our windshield, I shook my head and smiled at
this absurd environment in which some people must actually live day in and day out.
As a wise reporter once said, life is short and human beings are silly creatures.
ÂÂ
ÂÂ
We were back in Gaza City shortly before sunset and enjoyed another sunset. While Gaza City is
no Club Med, it almost feels like it after an afternoon in Rafah.
ÂÂ
8. MELBOURNE, FLORIDA (MARCH 2008)
When Death in Gaza ended -- the film is only 77 minutes long -- I put the recliner back in the upright
position and went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water. Back in the living room I petted my
sister's two cats, the one snuggled on the couch and the other curled into a ball on the floor.ÂÂ
Then I sat back down and looked through the DVD's special features, which included an interview
with Miller's wife and his film crew. I didn't like everything about the film. For example, I
think they failed to put the emotions and history of Rafah in its broader context, which includes the
fact that much of the town's population traces its origin to villages in Israel from which they fled or
were expelled in the late 1940s. That experience, an unaddressed wrong seared into the
narrative of the community, doesn't justify terrorism or make hatred alright. But it is central if
one wants to begin to grasp the worldview of Palestinians in places like Rafah. The film did
show us a human face though, even if it was often a troubling and troubled face, and for this I
applaud it.
I didn't sleep that night because the memories were fresh. I didn't sleep because I was now in
Florida, while more than 140,000 were still in Rafah -- still being shaped and mangled and beaten by
a place I sometimes felt was hell on earth. I didn't sleep because I so vehemently disagree both
with adults who cultivate for children a vision of violent martyrdom and with soldiers who use
their weapons to needlessly kill and terrorize. I didn't sleep because James Miller was dead, and
I had just met his wonderful wife and child on my television set. I didn't sleep because I
regretted not crossing the street five years earlier, not only to take a photograph but also to visit
those whose house I imagined would soon be demolished too. I didn't sleep because Rachel
Corrie should have been 28 and Tom Hurndall 26.
Some places are harder to visit than others.

herself in the ugliness, beauty, and fragility of the "other side." You can find that
