Podcast appearances and mentions of Paul L Dunbar

Two sweet nighttime children's classic poems by Paul Laurence Dunbar (1865-1906) of Dayton, Ohio. Dunbar wrote his first poem at the age of 6. He was 19 when he self-published his first book of poetry and went on to write novels, short stories, plays, and musicals.Paul Dunbar was very gifted as he wrote poetry and stories in American southern dialect, as you heard in A Cabin Tale (episode 10), and in American northern dialect here in these two poems. Feel free to read or sing along here: The Sandman and Johnny Speaks. Dunbar is my favorite poet, and in my opinion, he's America's Shakespeare and God Father of the Spoken Word Movement in the USA.Mixed by DJ King CanalMusic: (c) Sun Ready by View PointSee Aunti here: www.AuntiOni.funIf you love Paul L.

Andrei Williams‘ provocative new book on African American class divisions in Post-Reconstruction and Jim Crow America is sure to spark spirited debate among those interested in how the interplay of economic status and racial identity influence what has been called “the black experience.” Her insightful book is called Dividing Lines: Social Class Anxiety and Postbellum Black Fiction (University of Michigan, 2013). Specifically, the book examines how late-nineteenth-century black authors represent intra-racial stratification and class mobility. Analyzing works by such authors as Frances Harper, Sutton Griggs, Paul L. Dunbar, and Charles Chesnutt, Williams casts doubt on the now two-easy distinction between sell out and black nationalist when it comes to class ascension as she historicizes the moment when blacks were seeking to compete in the mainstream. Her look at representations of class at the turn of the 20th Century is fresh and illuminating. Please, listen in to the discussion. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
