Island Possessed
ISBN: 9780226171135 / Angielski / Miękka / 287 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Just as surely as Haiti is "possessed" by the gods and spirits of vaudun (voodoo), the island "possessed" Katherine Dunham when she first went there in 1936 to study dance and ritual. In this book, Dunham reveals how her anthropological research, her work in dance, and her fascination for the people and cults of Haiti worked their spell, catapulting her into experiences that she was often lucky to survive. Here Dunham tells how the island came to be possessed by the demons of voodoo and other cults imported from various parts of Africa, as well as by the deep class divisions, particularly...

The Unsteady March: The Rise and Decline of Racial Equality in America
ISBN: 9780226443393 / Angielski / Twarda / 426 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. American life is filled with talk of progress and equality, especially when the issue is that of race. But has the history of race in America really been the continuous march toward equality we'd like to imagine it has? This sweeping history of race in America argues quite the opposite: that progress toward equality has been sporadic, isolated, and surrounded by long periods of stagnation and retrenchment.
" An] unflinching portrait of the leviathan of American race relations. . . . This important book should be read by all who aspire to create a more perfect union."--Publishers...

The Cultural Territories of Race: Black and White Boundaries
ISBN: 9780226468365 / Angielski / Miękka / 436 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Even as America becomes more multiracial, the black-white divide remains central to understanding many patterns and tensions in contemporary society. Since the 1960s, however, social scientists concerned with this topic have been reluctant to discuss the cultural dimensions of racial inequality-not wanting to "blame the victim" for having "wrong values." The Cultural Territories of Race redirects this research tendency, employing today's more sophisticated methods of cultural analysis toward a new understanding of how cultural structures articulate the black/white problem.
These... Even as America becomes more multiracial, the black-white divide remains central to understanding many patterns and tensions in contemporary society. ...

Home to the largest concentration of public housing units in the city, Brownsville came to be viewed as emblematic of urban...
