The Experiment

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

So it was that each participant of the Experiment found a vision and was soon immersed with high excitement in making it come true. And ironically, Hinder, who was to have been the spoiler, became instead the enabler. Then there occurred an event that was to challenge not only the Experiment group, but the whole nation. The time had come for a man named Abu Kalide Al Mussada to accomplish a vision of a very different sort. Abu Kalide and eight of his followers infiltrated across the border between Mexico and America in the early hours of the sixteenth day of September. At ten o'clock that morning they took possession of a nursery school in Casa de Luna, New Mexico As Abu Kalide had planned, the headlines and airways screamed the news. The President promised that action would be taken immediately, but it would not be precipitate. Every care would be taken not to move so rapidly it would be heedless. The threat would be met without excessive haste or impulse. The safety of the children would be the foremost consideration. And to each of the eight participants in the Experiment a familiar green sheet appeared in their mail. An emergency meeting was called. The black bus would come for them.

Nampeyo and Her Pottery

Nampeyo and Her Pottery

By: Barbara Kramer

At the beginning of the twentieth century, Hopi-Tewa potter Nampeyo revitalized Hopi pottery by creating a contemporary style inspired by prehistoric ceramics. Nampeyo (ca. 1860-1942) made clay pots at a time when her people had begun using manufactured vessels, and her skill helped convert pottery-making from a utilitarian process to an art form. The only potter known by name from that era, her work was unsigned and widely collected. Travel brochures on the Southwest featured her work, and in 1905 and 1907 she was a potter in residence at Grand Canyon National Park's Hopi House. This first biography of the influential artist is a meticulously researched account of Nampeyo's life and times. Barbara Kramer draws on historical documents and comments by family members not only to reconstruct Nampeyo's life but also to create a composite description of her pottery-making process, from gathering clay through coiling, painting, and firing. The book also depicts changes brought about on the Hopi reservation by outsiders and the response of American society to Native American arts.

Negotiating Racial Politics in the Family

Transnational Histories touched by National Socialism and Apartheid

By: Barbara Henkes

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Negotiating Racial Politics in the Family

Transnational Histories touched by National Socialism and Apartheid

By: Barbara Henkes

This book is situated at the cutting edge of the political-ethical dimension of history writing. Henkes investigates various responsibilities and loyalties towards family and nation, as well as other major ethical obligations towards society and humanity when historical subjects have to deal with a repressive political regime. In the first section we follow pre-war German immigrants in the Netherlands and their German affiliation during the era of National Socialism. The second section explores the positions of Dutch emigrants who settled after the Second World War in Apartheid South Africa. The narratives of these transnational agents and their relatives provide a lens through which changing constructions of national identities, and the acceptance or rejection of a nationalist policy on racial grounds, can be observed in everyday practice.

Literary Adaptations in Black American Cinema

From Micheaux to Morrison

By: Barbara Tepa Lupack

By contrast, in the works of black writers from Oscar Micheaux to Toni Morrison, the black experience has been more fully, more accurately, and usually more sympathetically realized; and from the early days of film, select filmmakers have looked to that literature as the basis for their productions.".

The Way to Be

A Memoir

By: Barbara T. Smith

A firsthand account of the life and work of Barbara T. Smith, one of the most important yet underrecognized performance artists in the United States. For over fifty years, Barbara T. Smith has been at the forefront of artistic movements in California. Her work across many mediums explores concepts that strike at the core of human nature, including sexuality, physical and spiritual sustenance, technology, and death. In this memoir, Smith weaves together descriptive accounts of her pioneering performances with an intimate narrative of her life. The Way to Be covers the years 1931 to 1981, up to the artist’s fiftieth birthday, resulting in an exhaustive catalogue of her early work. It reveals the personal stories and events behind her pieces and the challenges she faced in an art world dominated by sexism and machismo. Drawing on Smith’s archive at the Getty Research Institute, this enthralling book presents previously unpublished notes, documents, photographs, and firsthand accounts of her life and practice, as well as her more recent reflections on the past. The Way to Be demonstrates Smith’s lasting contributions to the field of contemporary art and provides an engaging commentary on a recent period of great cultural and political change.
