351.20366 A Historical and Racial Analysis of the Minstrel Shows of the Nineteenth Century
This paper will anaylze some of the racial and deorgatory aspects of minstrel shows in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. By observing the practice of whites dressing up as blacks for these shows, we can understand racism and cultural affects of these performances as they influenced the way that ignorance and stupidity were made a stereotype for African Americans.

353.20391 Self and Identity in Gaines and Morrison
A person?s sense of self is always derived to some degree from the social and culture environment in which s/he lives. The pressures of culture in identity production can be particularly grueling for individuals in minority groups, as their heightened visibility as ?other? within the cultural environment invokes more external definition by the dominant culture. Self definition, then, involves a constant psychological conflict, as the individual?s sense of self battles with the powerful voice of the cultural hegemony. Two novels that address the difficulty of self identification for early twentieth century black Americans are Ernest J. Gaines?s A Lesson Before Dying and Toni Morrison?s Sula. The protagonists of these books, Jefferson and Sula, respectively, struggle to self identify within the restrictive confines of their communities.

354.20404 Black Radio in Cleveland Ohio
It can be said that Black Americans have long been at the forefront of popular culture. From clothing and slang to music and style, Black Americans have long set the trends that White Americans and thus the rest of the world, will eventually adopt for their own. White America has long co-opted the cultural contributions of Black America and has a history of doing so blatantly, without crediting the source of their ?inspiration?. Blacks in America have consistently struggled for recognition and, only relatively recently, have those efforts been rewarded. It is the purpose of this paper to look specifically at the industry of Black radio in Cleveland and its contributions to the greater musical world.

355.20457 Deighton's Death
There are many gray factors in defining what a character stands for or what they represent. In addition, there are many crossovers that prevent characters from representing one ideal completely. However, when one looks at the journey and goals of Selina and Silla one can see a shape to their existence that allows one to recognize their categorization. It is by comparison that one is able to see that Deighton does not fit into any category leaving him a displaced person with fading identity. This fading identity is representative of the losses suffered to heritage by an immigrating people.
