Sommario/riassunto |
|
This study examines the Black Women's Renaissance (BWR) - the flowering of literary talent among African American women at the end of the 20th century. It focuses on the historical and heritage novels of the 1980s and the vexed relationship between black cultural nationalism and black feminism. It argues that when the nation seemingly fell out of fashion, black women writers sought to re-create what Renan called "a soul, a spiritual principle" for their ethnic group. BWR narratives, especially those associated with womanism, appreciated "culture bearing" mothers as cultural reproducers of the nation and transmitters of its values. In this way, the writers of the BWR gave rise to "matrifocal" cultural nationalism that superseded masculine |

cultural nationalism of the previous decade and made black women, instead of black men, principal agents/carriers of national identity. This monograph argues that even though matrifocal nationalism empowered women, ultimately it was a flawed project. It promoted gender and cultural essentialism, i.e. it glorified black motherhood and mother-daughter bonding and condemned other, more radical models of black female subjectivity. Moreover, the BWR, vivified by middle-class and educated black women, turned readers' attention from more contentious social issues, such as class mobility or wealth redistribution. The monograph compares the cultural nationalist novels of the 1980s with social protest novels written by the same authors in the 1970s and explains the rationale behind the change in their aesthetic and political agenda. It also contrasts novels written by womanist writers (Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, Gloria Naylor to name just a few) and by African Caribbean immigrant or second-generation writers (Audre Lorde, Paule Marshall, Jamaica Kincaid and Michelle Cliff) to show that, on the score of cultural nationalism, the BWR was not a monolithic phenomenon. African American and African Caribbean women writers collectively contributed to the flourishing of the BWR, but they did not share the same ideas on black identities, histories, or the question of ethnonational belonging. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This clearly-written and practically-focused textbook/reference reviews the fundamental theory, varied applications, and latest breakthroughs in Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs). Presenting a specific focus on Opportunistic Mobile Networks (OMNs), the text carefully considers the influence of human aspects, and examines emerging forms of inter-node cooperation. Readers will learn how to master protocol |

development and testing, overcome issues of non-cooperative behavior, and address heterogeneity in OMNs and other networks. Topics and features: Contains review terms, study exercises and programming exercises in each chapter, with the solutions and source code available at an associated website Introduces the fundamentals of DTNs, covering OMNs, Pocket Switched Networks (PSNs), and Mission-Oriented Opportunistic Networks (MOONs) Describes the Opportunistic Network Environment (ONE) simulator, explaining how to set up a simulation project using NetBeans, and the version control software Git Provides detailed insights into the development and testing of protocols, together with a set of best practices for increased productivity and optimized performance Examines human aspects in the context of communication networks, from human-centric applications to the impact of emotion on human-network interplay Proposes various schemes for inter-node cooperation in DTNs/OMNs, including incentive-based and game theoretic approaches, as well as the DISCUSS scheme Presents a detailed discussion on aspects of heterogeneity in DTNs, and a comprehensive review of the latest research on DTNs/OMNs Students and instructors will find this easy-to-follow work to be ideally suitable as a textbook for introductory courses on OMNs and advanced courses on communication networks. Researchers will be greatly interested in the descriptions of state-of-the-art developments in OMNs, wireless sensor, and ad hoc networks. Practitioners developing real-world applications will also benefit from the coverage of relevant technical specifications and patents. |
