A Review of "Black Is the Color of the Cosmos : Essays on Afro-American Literature and Culture" by Charles T. Davis
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page review of the work of one of the most effective black writers of the twentieth century. A collection of a variety of Davis' most important essays, the book serves as a much needed compendium of the work of this tremendously important black author. Starting with an examination of the debates which encompassed black literary circles of the 1960s and 1970s, Davis compares the perspectives of a variety of different writers and academics before turning his attention specifically to the black slave narratives and then to Ralph Ellison, James Baldwin, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Jean Toomer, Robert Hayden, and other key figures in black history. The most interesting aspect of this book by far, however, is Davis' attention to the slave narrative as a critical component of black written history. No additional sources are listed.

A Review of "Race Matters" by Cornel West
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page discussion of race relations in the United States. Contends that the subject of race relations is a key philosophical issue precipitated in the United States largely by the presence of African Americans. It is an issue which has been broached by many black leaders of our past, and indeed the leaders of today and our future. Cornel West is one of those leaders. He is, in fact, one of the most eloquent and influential black writers of contemporary times. West views white America as an oppressor of black America, an oppressor which operates through daily attacks on black attributes such as intelligence, beauty, ability, and character. Central to this racial bias is economics and the capitalist system which emphasizes individuality over community and competition over cooperation. No additional sources are listed.

A Review of W.E.B. DuBois' "The Souls of Black Folks"
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page discussion of the cultural environment in which "The Souls of Black Folk" was written and the message which the author sought to convey. Contends that the general public at this time was not very tolerant of blacks in general and W.E.B. DuBois was not only black, he had an impressive education and was considerably influential. Ironically, these same qualities somewhat alienated W.E.B. DuBois even from some of his own people. Even in this historical context, however, "The Souls of Black Folks" was regarded as a beautiful insight into the African American culture. No additional sources are listed.

Addressing Outreach for Pregnant African American Women in Oakland County, Michigan
[ send me this paper ]
A 15 page paper discussing whether Pontiac, Michigan should institute a program targeting the city's African American population of women of child-bearing age. Infant mortality within this population is higher than that of any other ethnic group, and that within Pontiac is greater than Michigan's average. The paper examines results of California - where activity is supported by policy - and North Carolina, where effort is limited to effort only. It is California that has the greatest success, for it allows the working poor also to have access to the medical services needed for prenatal care. The paper suggests that Pontiac take the same approach, and market the program more through direct contact in public places than through printed material that all women may not be able to read. Bibliography lists 19 sources.

Affirmative Action
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. When affirmative action was first introduced, its primary purpose was to give minority groups the same -- or better -- chance as their white counterparts. What that meant for the academic world was if two entrance candidates were equally qualified on all levels, yet one was a minority and the other was white, the minority would automatically be accepted. There are times, however, when an underqualified minority wins out over a qualified white male just to meet the necessary quota. The writer discusses the background and ideology of affirmative action. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
