Here are some clicks some of you might find particularly interesting, viz. our discussions:

For the passing people, I thought you might find this essay on “The Tragic Mulatto” interesting. For my taste, it’s a touch too slippery with its terms (‘hybridity,’ ‘passing,’ and so on–as we we’ve discussed in class), but it’s also chock full of important historical and visual references.

You girlpower people, meanwhile, might particularly find this entry on the “Jezebel Stereotype” interesting, particularly when thinking about representation of black female sexuality, which ties also to how girlpower is sometimes figured and racialized in popular culture.

And, finally, below is a little video of two young women from GumboTeen Magazine Online, doing a review of the “Hateful Things” exhibit, which is part of the Jim Crow Museum. GumboTeen also has a YouTube space, with a variety of videos examining today’s big issues from a teen perspective.
