African American Culture and Society After Rodney King
Josephine Metcalf; Carina Spaulding
Routledge
2015
sidottu
1992 was a pivotal moment in African American history, with the Rodney King riots providing palpable evidence of racialized police brutality, media stereotyping of African Americans, and institutional discrimination. Following the twentieth anniversary of the Los Angeles uprising, this time period allows reflection on the shifting state of race in America, considering these stark realities as well as the election of the country's first black president, a growing African American middle class, and the black authors and artists significantly contributing to America's cultural output. Divided into six sections, (The African American Criminal in Culture and Media; Slave Voices and Bodies in Poetry and Plays; Representing African American Gender and Sexuality in Pop-Culture and Society; Black Cultural Production in Music and Dance; Obama and the Politics of Race; and Ongoing Realities and the Meaning of 'Blackness') this book is an engaging collection of chapters, varied in critical content and theoretical standpoints, linked by their intellectual stimulation and fascination with African American life, and questioning how and to what extent American culture and society is 'past' race. The chapters are united by an intertwined sense of progression and regression which addresses the diverse dynamics of continuity and change that have defined shifts in the African American experience over the past twenty years.

Walter Rodney left a political and academic legacy to the African world that few have matched. Rodney was a tireless scholar and activist who undertook a number of struggles throughout his lifetime. Rodney was a student activist as an undergraduate at the University of the West Indies in Jamaica. After earning his doctorate in England and teaching for some time as a professor in Tanzania, Rodney returned to Jamaica. There he wasted no time in educating the masses on African history, while also criticizing the failures of the Jamaican government to alleviate the suffering of the black masses on the island. For this Rodney was banned from Jamaica.He then turned to Tanzania, where he produced his most well-known book "How Europe Underdeveloped." Rodney eventually returned to Guyana and he joined the Working People's Alliance. The WPA was organized with the intention of uniting the working people of Guyana and to challenge the dictatorship of Forbes Burnham. In 1980, Rodney was killed. Many feel Rodney was assassinated by the government for his activities."The Political and Intellectual Legacy of Walter Rodney" examines both Rodney's work as an academic and a political figure.

How Far Would You Go to Honor a Code? Honor. Courage. Commitment. These are the pillars of United States Marine Corps values. So why Sgt. Rodney M. Davis lunged atop that enemy grenade at the expense of his own life on Sept. 6, 1967 is the quintessential question that has haunted not only those who stood closest to him at that critical moment, but his own family and friends for over fifty years now. Why would a young African-American with a beautiful wife and two infant children eagerly awaiting his return home from Vietnam commit such a noble and courageous, yet sacrificial act? And for Marines he barely knew if at all? And for a country that often treated him like a second-class citizen at the time? was a brave man and a good Marine. My grandfather always told me that if Davis] had not jumped on that grenade, every Marine in that trench would have been seriously injured or killed. My grandfather believed that he would have died that day. My mother would have been an orphan at the age of one, and I would have never known my grandfather. In a time when the United States was ravaged by racial tension, I wonder what kind of bond men form while fighting a war, for him to have saved the lives of a bunch of white men - including a Texan officer - that he knew for a short period of time? Davis] was a modern-day hero, and the kind of Marine I strive to live up to." Steven Brackeen Turunc, the eldest grandson of Davis' late platoon commander, John Brackeen. Turunc graduated from Officer Candidates School in November 2014 and is currently serving on active duty in the U.S. Marine Corps. That Davis was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor at the White House on March, 26, 1969 did little to assuage the heartbreak felt by his grieving family and the many friends he left behind. But looking after his own had always been Davis' calling. This is his story.
Around 8PM on the night of Friday June 13, 1980 a mysterious bomb-blast put an end to the mortal life of Walter Rodney--the true, post World War II fountainhead of what promised to be a 20th century Caribbean emancipation.Here, for the first time is a racy, well-researched account of that event, marking what celebrated Caribbean novelist, George Lamming called "the most dangerous of times".
