Book Synopsis Urban Narratives by : David J. Connor
Download or read book Urban Narratives written by David J. Connor and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2008 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban Narratives foregrounds previously silenced voices of young people of color who are labeled disabled. Overrepresented in special education classes, yet underrepresented in educational research, these students - the largest group within segregated special education classes - share their perceptions of the world and their place within it. Eight 'portraits in progress' consisting of their own words and framed by their poetry and drawings, reveal compelling insights about life inside and out of the American urban education system. The book uses an intersectional analysis to examine how power circulates in society throughout and among historical, cultural, institutional, and interpersonal domains, impacting social, academic, and economic opportunities for individuals, and expanding or circumscribing their worlds.
Book Synopsis Pictures and Progress by : Maurice O. Wallace
Download or read book Pictures and Progress written by Maurice O. Wallace and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2012-06-19 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pictures and Progress explores how, during the nineteenth century and the early twentieth, prominent African American intellectuals and activists understood photography's power to shape perceptions about race and employed the new medium in their quest for social and political justice. They sought both to counter widely circulating racist imagery and to use self-representation as a means of empowerment. In this collection of essays, scholars from various disciplines consider figures including Frederick Douglass, Sojourner Truth, Ida B. Wells, Paul Laurence Dunbar, and W. E. B. Du Bois as important and innovative theorists and practitioners of photography. In addition, brief interpretive essays, or "snapshots," highlight and analyze the work of four early African American photographers. Featuring more than seventy images, Pictures and Progress brings to light the wide-ranging practices of early African American photography, as well as the effects of photography on racialized thinking.

Schneider, Shawn Michelle Smith, Laura Wexler, Maurice O. Wallace

Book Synopsis The Painter's Progress by : David Dawson
Download or read book The Painter's Progress written by David Dawson and published by Jonathan Cape. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For nearly twenty years David Dawson was Lucian Freud's assistant, companion, and model. Freud moved in rarefied, powerful circles and was tenacious about protecting his privacy. He also carefully avoided distraction. With few exceptions, he wanted only those he knew well, like the late Bruce Bernard, to photograph him. David Dawson, however, was in a unique position, and as Freud became comfortable in the presence of Dawson's camera, photographing became part of the daily ritual of the studio. These photographs reveal in a most intimate way the subjects and the stages of paintings in progress. Few artists, if any, have had their lives and their work recorded over such a length of time. Despite Freud's sense of privacy, his circle was wide. Among those who regularly visited Freud were figures from the art world, including art historian John Richardson, and painters David Hockney, and Frank Auerbach, along with model Kate Moss and friends such as the Duke of Beaufort. The book begins in Freud's old studio in Holland Park and then records the artist in his eighteenth-century house in Kensington, the first floor of which was his final studio. Dawson also photographed Freud on his visits to look at masterpieces in various museums in New York, Amsterdam and Madrid. The book ends with views of the rooms in which Freud's own extraordinary collection of paintings was hung. It is the only record of the house itself before the dispersal of the art on his death, but ultimately, the photographs create an intimate portrait of the man. The final images in this book are of the hanging of Freud's work in his posthumous London exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery. Haunting and fascinating, this is a revelatory document about one of our most important and influential painters"--Provided by publisher

Book Synopsis Portraits of Resistance by : Jennifer Van Horn
Download or read book Portraits of Resistance written by Jennifer Van Horn and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2022-01-01 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A highly original history of American portraiture that places the experiences of enslaved people at its center This timely and eloquent book tells a new history of American art: how enslaved people mobilized portraiture for acts of defiance. Revisiting the origins of portrait painting in the United States, Jennifer Van Horn reveals how mythologies of whiteness and of nation building erased the aesthetic production of enslaved Americans of African descent and obscured the portrait's importance as a site of resistance. Moving from the wharves of colonial Rhode Island to antebellum Louisiana plantations to South Carolina townhouses during the Civil War, the book illuminates how enslaved people's relationships with portraits also shaped the trajectory of African American art post-emancipation. Van Horn asserts that Black creativity, subjecthood, viewership, and iconoclasm constituted instances of everyday rebellion against systemic oppression. Portraits of Resistance is not only a significant intervention in the fields of American art and history but also an important contribution to the reexamination of racial constructs on which American culture was built.

He traces his descent from Roger Ainidon, a Huguenot, who escaping from siege of Rochelle, France, went to England, and subsequently coming to America, settled in Salem, Massachusetts, in 1636, and who was one of the original proprie tors of Rehoboth, Massachusetts. Roger Amidon's great-grandson Jacob a Harvard student when the Revolution broke out, joined the army in time to fight at Bunker Hill, was captured by the British and afterwards confined on a prison ship in New York harbor. He settled in Chesterfield in 1782, and died there in 1839, aged eighty-six years. His son, Otis Amidon, farmer and merchant, was a man of prominence of the town, which he repeatedly represented in the Legislature, and by which he was honored with many local offices. The subject of this sketch received his education in the common schools of Chesterfield, at a time when the schools of Cheshire county were considered the best in the state, and he also attended Chesterfield Academy for many terms. In his early manhood he was a successful teacher, but in 1849 he formed a partner ship with the late Henry 0. Coolidge, the firm going into business at Chesterfield Center.
