Harding, A Refuge In Thunder
The result is that within the chapters of Refuge in Thunder one reads about the constructionof Candomblé as an african diasporic home for dislocated Africans
http://northstar.vassar.edu/volume5/harding.html

Extractions: ISSN 1094-902X The central thesis of A Refuge in Thunder is that blacks in Brazil were involved in a continual process of transformational engagement with the assigned spaces and the signified identities imputed upon them by the dominant slavocratic and racist society. Using a variety of meansritual, communal, familial, aesthetic, etc.African and their descendants created alternative spaces and alternative definitions of themselves and of the meaning of their presence in the New World [xvii]. Consonant with its subtitle, Candomblé and Alternative Spaces of Blackness , the book examines the development of Candomblé in terms of the elements, experiences, and meanings which lie at its foundations in nineteenth-century Bahia. Harding outlines her authorial task as "looking at the nature and experience of slavery in Brazil (and particularly in the north-eastern captaincy/province of Bahia); the specific conjunction of Africans and Brazilian-born blacks in Salvador and the Bahian Recôncavo; the role of freedpeople in the leadership and development of the religion; networks of support and repression; the complex of magico-pharmacopoeic, ludic, divinational, and relational elements which came to comprise Candomblé; and especially, the role of the religion in the development of alternative meanings of human community and black identity within the matrix of slavery [xvii]." The book is a worthwhile study in New World study of religion as resistance to cultural hegemony and modern capitalism.

http://northstar.vassar.edu/volume3/zips.html

Extractions: Volume 3, Number 2 (Spring 2000) Werner Zips, Black Rebels: African-Caribbean Freedom Fighters Black Rebels, is a significant contribution to the literature on the Jamaican Maroons. Maroons are the book’s protagonists; the plantocracy and its successors its antagonists. The work shows the fundamental continuity and interface between traditional African religion and cultural resistance in Maroon culture. Zips succeeds in his intention to write a "history of resistance" rather than a "history of domination" using the Maroons as prime examples. The book’s foreword and preface are followed by six chapters, including an introductory one, and concluding remarks. Notes, bibliography, glossary, and photo credits complete the book’s content. Franklin W. Knight’s foreword helps the reader to understand the role of "flight" in relationship to Jamaican slaves’ attempt to subvert plantation slavery: "Maroon communities were designed to fulfill the slaves’ inherent desires to be free, and to secure that freedom for their offspring" (viii). "Maroons were organized communities of escaped slaves and their descendants;" "the incessant flight of slaves from servitude marronage represented an intrinsic aspect of the American slave society" (vii). The book’s five chapters, following the foreword, chronicle the emergence and historical formation of Maroon resistance in Jamaica.

Extractions: African-Americans and Predictive Dreams by Anthony Shafton - Belief in precognitive dreams runs between 25% and 50% in the general U.S. population, but among black Americans predicitve dreaming or "dreaming true" is affirmed by 84% - 92% of those interviewed. This difference reflects an African heritage that places importance on ancestor visitation dreams, fluid boundaries between dreaming and other states of consciousness such as waking vision, and the spirituality of dreams as expressed in religion and social culture.

Extractions: umerous cities, including Paris, Chicago and Berlin, claim to own the most important pioneers of Modern architecture, but Vienna also plays a prominent role in the ancestor hunt. The question is which version of early Modern Vienna you prefer. Joseph Maria Olbrich cast off both the undulating excesses of Art Nouveau and the academic constraints of classicism with his Vienna Secession building of 1898. Hard-edged but still florid, the structure aims for the machined abstractions of modernity, but mitigates them with deeply suggestive bits of floral appliqué, to say nothing of the curious ball-of-leaves dome. Olbrichs splendid Modernity is curiously personal and embarrassingly fetishistic, well suited to the city and era of Freud. On the other hand, Adolf Looss Steiner House is a contrastingly headlong dive into pure ideological rigor, with nothing but wall and window on its unapologetic, box-like façade. Looss many adherents recognize the fierce individuality and sophistication of his work, but the stridently unadorned outer layer seems rootless and disengaged, aloof to all but the determined. Yet, it, too, is widely celebrated as quintessentially Viennese. What then is the real nature of Viennese or Austrian architecture?

Extractions: laura_marks@carleton.ca African cinema is a transnational cinema. The first films made by African diasporic people appeared in the United States in the silent period, from independent filmmakers like Oscar Micheaux. However, this course contends that the appearance of the first feature film by a black African, Ousmane Sembene's Black Girl in 1968, marks the beginning of a pan-African cinema. We will look at films from four continents, widely varied in language, aesthetics, and infrastructure, by African and African diasporic directors. Our guiding questions will be, Do these films share something beyond the ethnicity of their directors? What is the African diasporic cinema? Is it characterized by a common aesthetics, by economic conditions, or by other factors? Course requirements: Participation Response paper, due May 29 Essay
