Until he was in prison, X did not have access to accurate representations of black history, nor did he have the skills required to read the materials (X 33). Social control of literacy dates back…

and The Arts. Women, in general, were disenfranchised with the old Victorian ways and the roaring twenties were a liberating period for them. However, this liberation did not extend to all branches of ‘woman-kind’, specifically Black women. Black people faced a great deal of challenging circumstances; most of which were incumbent upon the Black woman to bear in solidarity. In this, the arts were an enchanting release from the heinous atrocities of the everyday on-goings in the south and were in…

person from their land, this is what happened to these children, but not only were they removed from their land, but also their families. This was extremely harmful to the children as although they gained a higher education than many other Indigenous people they missed out on learning about their cultural heritage, which is a fundamental part of Indigenous identity. Claire Henty-Gebert’s social and cultural identities have been negatively affected through the removal of her from her family and…

Lee Mun Wah’s Color of Fear features a thoughtful and emotional discussion of the problems men face in society with focus into the race relations that shape lives.

Usnach”, by Lady Gregory, was written for the people of Ireland. Lady Gregory took it upon herself to write the Cuchulain stories as the people of Ireland knew it and not how the scholars of the time would write it.

Bullet”, he expresses his desire for Black Nationalism and total segregation by claiming that “[White people] don’t know what morals are…so you’re wasting your time appealing to the moral conscience of a bankrupt man like Uncle Sam.” He generalizes the white population as usual due to his own negative experiences, thus asserting that the whites are morally “bankrupt”. Akin to how bankrupt people cannot repay monetary debts, racial negotiation seems to be pointless because the oppressors cannot…

the portrayal of negative stereotypes as they tell stories of violent behaviours and drinking problems. Not the positive things that Aboriginal people do. These reports of negative behaviours makes the white Australian community believe these bad stereotypes (Freeman, 2007). The negative stereotypes impact on the Indigenous community of Australia as people act rudely to them as they believe these stereotypes. They assume they are dangerous so they stay away from them and treat them badly…
