![]() It is an ongoing task, like keeping the dishes clean. I do not believe anyone raised in Western society can ever claim to have finished ridding themselves completely of their oppressive attitudes. All members of this society grow up surrounded by oppressive attitudes we are marinated in it. No matter how much work you have done on that area of yourself, there is more to be done. It is ridiculous to claim you are not sexist if you are a man or not racist if you are white and so on. Remember that everyone in the oppressor group is part of the oppression. ![]() In Becoming an Ally : Breaking the Cycle of Oppression in People, activist, author, and educator Anne Bishop explains how a central aspect of being an ally is recognizing and being aware of one’s own role in a system of oppression. ![]() is engaged in continual learning and reflection about Indigenous cultures and history. ![]() has self-awareness of their own identity, privilege, and role in challenging oppression.does not put their own needs, interests, and goals ahead of the Indigenous people they are working with.If you are a non-Indigenous person engaged in the work of Indigenization, then you can better understand your role in this movement as being an ally to Indigenous people. An ally is someone from a privileged group who is aware of how oppression works and struggles alongside members of an oppressed group to take action to end oppression.

![]() I was assured that the publisher had fact-checked and vetted the book, so I should have confidence in the source material. This miscarriage of justice seemed obvious, and I pointed it out to my production team colleagues. ![]() Even with the lack of identification, the district attorney still took Broadwater to trial and he was convicted. Sebold’s failure to identify her attacker should have been the end of the case, with Broadwater released. I had marked the wrong one.” Sebold further wrote, “Number four and five looked like identical twins.” Sebold writes in Lucky, “I placed my X in the number-five box. ![]() Broadwater was suspect number four in the police lineup, and Sebold selected suspect number five as her attacker. On my first reading of the book, the portion regarding Sebold’s attempted identification of her assailant at a police lineup disturbed me. When I first reviewed the book as a part of my preparations for the film, less than a year ago, I realised there were serious questions regarding the guilt of the man Sebold named in the book as Gregory Madison, the pseudonym she gave Anthony Broadwater. His exoneration would probably not have come about but for a strange and unusual series of events linked to my role as executive producer on the film adaptation of Sebold’s bestselling book, Lucky, her memoir about the attack. He spent more than 16 years in prison and a further 23 years as a registered sex offender. ![]() ![]() Broadwater was arrested, placed in a police lineup, tried and convicted. ![]() ![]() The book is structured into 3 roughly equally-sized sections. It doesn’t shed much new light on Henderson’s personality or private life (and I’m fine with that), but it does chronicle the life of a stellar athlete (Bill James once said splitting Rickey in half would leave you with two Hall of Famers) and places his career in context. In the end, my reluctance was somewhat justified but I’m still glad I read Rickey. But was Rickey Henderson an interesting enough subject to hold my engagement for over 400 pages? I like baseball well enough but I never was a huge A’s or Rickey Henderson fan and I mainly remember him from playing forever, stealing a ton of bases, and being portrayed as a prickly and aloof personality by the media. The book’s author, ESPN writer Howard Bryant, deftly explores the intersection of sports with race, history, and culture in his books and articles and was a former A’s beat writer during Henderson’s tenure with the team. ![]() ![]() I came into Rickey: The Life and Legend of an American Original with a bit of trepidation. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The protagonist of Tropic of Cancer (a doppelgänger for Miller) is an adventurer who, Turner writes, has been sent “on an exploration. The series aims to tell “a new and innovative story about American history and culture” through these icons, and Turner’s story traces Miller’s mid-twentieth-century ramble back through the dark passages of US history, to the young nation’s “buffalo hunters, backwoodsmen, Indian killers, and outlaws of the hinterlands and urban slums,” claiming that Miller (consciously or not) modeled himself and his books on the American-as-outlaw archetype. ![]() Turner’s volume is part of Yale University Press’s Icons of America series, which covers national treasures such as the Statue of Liberty, the hamburger, Jackson Pollock, Bob Dylan, Fred Astaire, a bunch of other men, and just one gal: the stripper Gypsy Rose Lee. Now, in Renegade, scholar Frederick Turner reassesses the work, making the case that the book and its author are as quintessentially American as Walt Whitman and Mark Twain. This kind of hyperbole marked his audacious, pornographic monologue of a first novel, Tropic of Cancer, which was published in the US fifty years ago (after the Supreme Court overturned a quarter-century ban). In a letter to his lover, Anaïs Nin, Henry Miller wrote that he was possibly the only writer in our time who has had the chance to write only as he pleased. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Reticence such as this is seldom without a cause, nor indeed was ours for our requirements were those resulting from a life-work distinctly unpopular.

Who threw that bomb?… The answer should be, ‘We all did it.’” Morgan’s question echoes today as we begin our study about racism in the history of the American church, and his quote reveals a key truth about what racial injustice and the history of racism in America needed to succeed: the compromise of Christianity’s biblical and moral convictions.

Safran, a professor of Slavic Languages and Literatures, is aware that her readers may know little of late 19th and early 20th century Russian history, so she carefully details the alignments and divisions he faced. As a young Jewish man leaving the Pale to try to change Russian society, An-sky had to negotiate a complex, constantly shifting political environment. An-sky ( 1863 – 1920) may be best known for The Dybbuk, but this play, considered one of the most popular Yiddish theater pieces of all time, was almost a footnote to this man’s extraordinary career. ![]() |
