As Ellison noted then, many of our most mundane cultural forms are larger and more important than they appear, taking on great significance and an unexpected depth of meaning. What he saw in the power of the Lindy Hop-the dance that Life magazine once billed as "America's True National Folk Dance"-would spread from black America to make a lasting impression on white America and offer us a truly compelling means of understanding our culture. But with what hidden implications? In American Allegory, Black Hawk Hancock offers an embedded and embodied ethnography that situates dance within a larger Chicago landscape of segregated social practices. Delving into two Chicago dance worlds, the Lindy and Steppin', Hancock uses a combination of participant-observation and interviews to bring to the surface the racial tension that surrounds white use of black cultural forms. Focusing on new forms of appropriation in an era of multiculturalism, Hancock underscores the institutionalization of racial disparities and offers wonderful insights into the intersection of race and culture in America.African AmericansIllinoisChicagoSocial conditions20th centuryDance and raceChicago (Ill.)Race relationsHistory20th centuryBlack peopleRace identityIllinoisChicagoHistory20th centuryWhite peopleRace identityIllinoisChicagoHistory20th centuryLindy (Dance)IllinoisChicagoHistory20th centuryAfrican AmericansSocial conditionsDance and race.Chicago (Ill.)Race relationsHistoryBlack peopleRace identityHistoryWhite peopleRace identityHistoryLindy (Dance)History305.896/073077311Hancock Black Hawk1971-1803617MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910964921103321American allegory4351245UNINA02722nam 22004813a 450 991083184420332120250705110024.0https://doi.org/10.3998/mpub.11903441(CKB)4100000011631752(ScCtBLL)7b879627-763a-481b-974e-bfcdc07e0705(OCoLC)1231606775(ODN)ODN0009815982(EXLCZ)99410000001163175220250203i20202020 uu enguru||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierKinship and History in South Asia : Four Lectures /Thomas R.

Wagle.Kinship and History in South Asia presents four papers given at a small conference of kinship studies scholars, "Kinship and History in South Asia," at the University of Toronto in 1973. They draw upon one another and show several common concerns, particularly the theoretical importance of Dravidian systems. Yey they remain specialist studies, each within its own raison d'être. Brendra E. F. Beck contributes a study of the "kinship nucleus" in Tamil folklore, Levi-Straussian both in its treatment of kinship and of mythology. George L. Hart's study of woman and the sacred in the ancient Tamil literature of the Sangam attempts to elucidate this literature in its own terms, and also to relate it to Beck's "kinship nucleus." Thomas R. Trautmann presents a critical examination of the evidence for cross-cousin marriage in early North India, attempting to determine historical fact from literary materials. Narendra K. Wagle offers a survey of the kinship categories to be found in the Pali Jatakas.Michigan Papers On South And Southeast AsiaKinshipSouth AsiaHistoryKinship.SOC000000bisacshTrautmann Thomas R439030Trautmann Thomas R.Center for South and Southeast Asian Studies (Michigan)ScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910831844203321Kinship and History in South Asia4403369UNINA
