By examining the rise of the Nation of Islam, the Black Power Movement of the 1960s and 1970s, and the "Afrocentric era" of the 1980s through 1990s Austin shows how theories of race have shaped ideas about the meaning of "Blackness" within different time periods of the twentieth-century. Achieving Blackness provides both a fascinating history of Blackness and a theoretically challenging understanding of race and ethnicity. Austin traces how Blackness was defined by cultural ideas, social practices and shared identities as well as shaped in response to the social and historical conditions at different moments in American history. Analyzing black public opinion on black nationalism and its relationship with class, Austin challenges the commonly held assumption that black nationalism is a lower class phenomenon. In a refreshing and final move, he makes a compelling argument for rethinking contemporary theories of race away from the current fascination with physical difference, which he contends sweeps race back to its misconceived biological underpinnings. Achieving Blackness is a wonderful contribution to the sociology of race and African American Studies"--Publisher description.Schwarze(DE-588)4116433-7gndNationalbewusstsein(DE-588)4041282-9gndMuslim(DE-588)4040921-1gndEthnische Beziehung(DE-588)4176973-9gndBlack nationalismfast(OCoLC)fst00833733Black Muslimsfast(OCoLC)fst00833633Afrocentrismfast(OCoLC)fst00800053African AmericansRace identityfast(OCoLC)fst00799666USAgndUnited StatesfastHistory.Achieving.Blackness.States.United.black.complexities.context.ethnicity.examination.important.movements.nationalist.offers.race.Schwarze.Nationalbewusstsein.Muslim.Ethnische Beziehung.Black nationalism.Black Muslims.Afrocentrism.African AmericansRace identity.305.896/07300904Austin Algernon1509633MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910787351103321Achieving Blackness3741670UNINA05593oam 2200613 450 991073540040332120190911103509.01-4302-6563-910.1007/978-1-4302-6563-4(OCoLC)878127598(MiFhGG)GVRL6URR(EXLCZ)99371000000003117020140410d2013 uy 0engurun|---uuuuatxtccrBeginning Fedora Desktop /Richard Petersen1st ed. 2013.New York :Apress,2013.1 online resource (xxv, 477 pages) illustrations (some color)The expert's voice in Linux Beginning Fedora desktopEverything you need to know to use Fedora Desktop in one place"--Cover.Includes index.1-4302-6562-0 Includes bibliographical references and index.""Contents at a Glance""; ""Contents""; ""About the Author""; ""Introduction""; ""Part 1: Getting Started""; ""Chapter 1: Fedora 18 Introduction""; ""Fedora Documentation""; ""Fedora 18""; ""Fedora 18 Desktop Features""; ""Fedora ISO images""; ""Fedora Custom Spins""; ""Multimedia""; ""Fedora Live DVD""; ""Starting the Live DVD""; ""Installing Fedora from a Live DVD""; ""USB Live Disk""; ""liveusb-creator""; ""livecd-iso-to-disk""; ""Live USB Persistence Storage""; ""Persistent Home Directory""; ""Fedora Logo""; ""Linux""; ""Open Source Software""; ""Linux Documentation""""Chapter 2: Installation and Upgrade""""Obtaining the DVDs""; ""Install Strategies: Making Use of Repositories""; ""Live DVD Advantages""; ""Fedora Install DVD Advantages""; ""Installation Issues""; ""Installing Dual-Boot Systems""; ""Storage Configuration""; ""Install Sources (Install DVD)""; ""Basic Install with Fedora Live Desktop DVD""; ""Quick Install with the Install DVD""; ""Installing Fedora Linux""; ""Starting the Installation Program with the Install DVD""; ""Check Disk Media""; ""Initial Setup""; ""Automatic Partitioning""""Manual Partitioning: Partitions, BTRFS, RAID, and Logical Volumes""""Recommended Partitions""; ""Creating Partitions""; ""Logical Volumes""; ""RAID and BTRFS""; ""Software Installation Configuration with the Fedora Install DVD/CDs""; ""Network Configuration with the Fedora Install DVD/CDs""; ""GRUB on Restart""; ""Setting Up Fedora""; ""Create User""; ""Date and Time""; ""Upgrading Fedora Linux""; ""Creating Boot Disks""; ""Booting in Rescue Mode""; ""Re-Installing the Bootloader""; ""Chapter 3: Usage Basics: Login, Desktop, and Help""; ""User Accounts""""GRUB Start Menu and Boot Problems""""The Display Manager: GDM""; ""The User Menu""; ""Important Laptop Features""; ""Desktops""; ""KDE""; ""Xfce and LXDE""; ""Cinnamon and Mate""; ""GNOME""; ""GNOME File Manager""; ""Logging Out and Shutting Down from GNOME""; ""Network Connections""; ""Network Manager Wired Connections""; ""Network Manager Wireless Connections""; ""System Settings Network (GNOME and Proxies)""; ""System Settings""; ""Background""; ""Date and Time""; ""Details (System Information)""; ""Using Removable Devices and Media""; ""Brightness and Lock""; ""Power Management""""Display (Resolution and Rotation)""""Universal Access""; ""Keyboard""; ""Color Profiles (GNOME Color Manager)""; ""Online Accounts""; ""Accessing File Systems, Devices, and Remote Hosts""; ""Video Drivers""; ""Multimedia Support: MP3, DVD Video, and DivX""; ""Terminal Window""; ""Command-Line Interface""; ""Running Windows Software on Linux: Wine""; ""Help Resources""; ""GNOME and KDE Help""; ""Context-Sensitive Help""; ""Application Documentation""; ""The Man Pages""; ""The Info Pages""; ""Web Resources""; ""Chapter 4: Installing and Updating Software: YUM, PackageKit, and RPM""""Software Repositories""Beginning Fedora Desktop: Fedora 18 Edition is a complete guide to using the Fedora 18 Desktop Linux release as your daily driver for mail, productivity, social networking, and more.
