Artist and academic Sequoia Danielle Barnes redresses the ugly side of kitsch and ‘cute' toy cultures, telling histories of trickster rabbits from Peter Rabbit to Bugs Bunny, appropriated from Black Southern American folklore from the 16th century to now. With ceramics, fabrics, and super sticky slugs, Sequoia Danielle Barnes' new installation is an Afro-surrealist retelling of Br'er Rabbit and the Tar Baby, a folktale developed by her enslaved ancestors after being ripped from Africa and displaced in Alabama, in the United States - the place she grew up before pursuing her practice in ‘transatlantic' institutions. Here, stories about figures like Uncle Remus, Uncle Ben, and Aunt Jemima, often first told as a means of action guidance for outsmarting slavemasters, were mainstreamed into 20th century pop art and cultures. Sequoia's exhibition takes its title from the 1946 film, Song of the South, a nostalgic representation of the antebellum, pre-Confederate South, revealing how ‘cuteness' masks anti-Black racist tropes and propaganda. We discuss how popular consumption of Western/European films, TV adverts, and commercials can perpetuate forms of oppression and marginalisation, including racialisation, infantilism, violence, and the cannibalisation of enslaved peoples. Sequoia tells of her interest in ‘Tellytubby lore', how children's cartoons and animations can sustain critical traditions of surrealism, and why younger people more readily engage with her work than adults. From her creepy and uncanny collectibles, we discuss why major institutions protect and preserve golliwogs, golly, and ‘piccaninny' dolls, and Sequoia's ‘Black radical art practice' in spaces like CCA Glasgow, Fruitmarket, and the National Museum of Scotland. Sequoia shares her subversive influences from the Black diaspora, including Faith Ringgold, Betye Saars, Robert Colescott,and Eddie Chambers. With Theaster Gates, Patrick Kelly, Joe Casely-Hayford,, we explore Afrofuturism, and find entanglements in their own practice, between works with textiles, fashion, and pottery. Beneath the dark humour and sweet surfaces of their works, Sequoia speaks of connections between contemporary consumption and capitalism, and historic sugar cane plantations. exposing how legacies of colonialism, slavery, and global trade still shape society today. Sequoia Danielle Barnes: Everything Is Satisfactual runs at Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop until 28 August 2024. The exhibition is part of Edinburgh Art Festival (EAF) 2024, which continues in Scotland until 25 August 2024.

On this episode, two more contributors to our book talk about their chapters on equality, inclusion, and compassion. Travis Prinzi and Mark-Anthony Lewis join Katy and Emily to discuss how the wizarding world serves as a lens through which to understand the social ethics of our own world, particularly amid racial tensions and diversity. Travis's chapter, "The Problem with Loving Enemies: Kindness and Oppression in 'The Wizard and the Hopping Pot,'" and Mark-Anthony's chapter, "Uncle Remus's Shack: Tokenism in the Wizarding World," both examine how we respond to people who are different from us. For Travis, studying critical race theory in education while rereading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in preparation for the release of the final book made him see systemic prejudice in the wizarding world in new ways. It was house-elf slavery and the discussions around it that made Mark-Anthony think deeply about how their oppression came about. Travis sees the seemingly simple fairy tale of "The Wizard and the Hopping Pot" take on completely new meaning when put in the historical context Dumbledore provides in The Tales of Beedle the Bard. Mark-Anthony applies W.E.B. Du Bois's idea of "twoness" to magical minorities, some of whom have a literal "twoness" as hybrid beings like centaur and merpeople. How can we use the wizarding world to find solutions to the challenge of social and racial equality in our own world? For a start, we can confront our fear of the unknown and embrace the freedom to be wrong - and learn from it.

I get a little rambly-bambly in this one so warn you have I now.Even so, I wander into a few rose bushes among the other tosses through the briar patch.But what's a b'rer rabbit like myself supposed to do when Disney claims the story telling I'm surrounded by is too racist for the 21st century?Do you know Uncle Remus?Uncle Remus?Where'd you go off to now Uncle Remus?I thought you were here just a second ago and now darned it if I can't locate you anywhere.Well into the briar patch go I...as should you!NëiNsensiCaLEpisode 3 of 53

On this episode, we dish about this year's Harry Potter Academic Conference and preview our new book, Potterversity: Essays Exploring the World of Harry Potter (McFarland). Katy and Emily welcome Potterversity producer Laurie Beckoff and technical editor Emma Nicholson, as well as Louise Freeman, Mark-Anthony Lewis, and Lana Whited to talk about HPACs past and present. This year's virtual conference allowed people from all over the world to come together, and we included the comments of other conference attendees in the webinar chat. We reminisce about our first experiences at the conference. Looking back helps us to see the evolution of Potter Studies through the last dozen years. What keeps us coming to the conference? Wonderful discussions, inspiration for new ideas, deep dives into the Potter stories, like-minded people, constructive argument and critique, and a space in which Harry Potter is taken seriously. There is always something new to say and fresh perspectives on the series, as well as the movies and other related works. We all value the friendships we've developed with people from all different disciplines and walks of life. Reflecting on presentations we heard at this year's conference that we found especially illuminating, we made suggestions for what we'd like to hear more about in the future. Katy and Emily also reveal details about the new Potterversity book - currently available from McFarland Publishers - providing an overview and hearing from some of the authors about their chapters. Mark-Anthony talks about his chapter “Uncle Remus's Shack,” about tokenism as portrayed in characters like Lupin, Dobby, and Madame Maxime. Emma shares how she reconstructed Sirius Black's story in “Padfoot Revelio!” and in the process uncovered details that will surprise you and build empathy toward this complex character. Laurie explains her chapter “It's All Fun and Games Until . . . ,” in which she compared the use of games in Harry Potter and Arthurian literature. Louise's “The Weasley Witches” analyzed how Ginny and Molly can be interpreted through the archetypes of the Amazon and the Mother, as well as the significance of Weasley sweaters. Lana explored the mythic significance of fantastic beasts in “Here Be Dragons and Phoenixes.” Emily's chapter investigates the motifs and themes of the holiday season in “The Real Magic of Christmas in Harry Potter,” and Katy ponders transhumanism and cultural appropriation in “Arthur Weasley and the Misuse of Muggle Artefacts.” We also provide hints about other chapters in the volume to whet your appetite for the book chapters and accompanying podcast conversations.

From the Cubs vs. White Sox to deep-dish vs. tavern-style, Chicago is no stranger to rivalries. One rivalry host Jacoby Cochran knows well is the fried-chicken-and-mild-sauce competition between Harold's and Uncle Remus. As a South Sider, Jacoby had never even been to Uncle Remus in the Austin neighborhood. Now, Justice Informed CEO, lifelong West Sider, and Uncle Remus evangelist Xavier Ramey shows Jacoby what he's been missing. Don't miss our love letter to Harold's.

Uncle Remus, His Songs and His Sayings

This is a long one because Rob is gonna tell you the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly about Disney's Song of the South. Rob holds no punches and gives you the complete history of this film. We look at it all from its roots with Joel Chandler Harris and the Tales of Uncle Remus and the impact those stories have had on the literary community. We even have multiple critics of Harris give their two cents. We examine Walt Disney's Wish to make the Song of the South Trilogy and how multiple versions of the script were made with an army of different consultants including a literal Communist being brought in to make sure the film wasn't remotely Uncle Tomish. We examine how some felt this film was propaganda of the Double V Campaign to the NAACP's View that Disney had weaponized Uncle Remus against the African American community. We even examine Disney's use of the property decades after the film. It is the team's effort that this is objective, fair, and a proper history of the intent and heart of this incorrectly maligned film. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't force it to drink.

Stacey and I tackle this movie and tie in race relations and go from there with our opinions of this movie .. Trigger warning please be very careful when you listen to this episode ... After the Civil War, down in the Deep South state of Georgia, a little boy named Johnny (Bobby Driscoll) is excited about a trip to visit his grandmother living on a rural plantation. However, his visit soon turns painful as he learns that his parents are separating, and his dad returns to Atlanta. Determined to run away, he starts off for Atlanta with all his possessions in a bag. As he starts leaving the plantation, he hears Uncle Remus (James Baskett) a slave at the plantation, telling a group of people stories about Brer Rabbit. He stops to listen, and people start looking for him. Uncle Remus reassures them he knows where the boy is. Then he befriends Johnny and thru his Brer Rabbit stories convinces him to stay at home. Johnny befriends a little girl named Ginny. She gives him a puppy, and her older brothers want to drown it. Uncle Remus once again saves the day with his stories. Johnny's mother gets angry because Uncle Remus kept the dog, so she demands he not tell any more stories. Uncle Remus, unhappy about the way he's being treated, leaves for Atlanta. Johnny chases him and is injured by a bull. Although he almost dies, one of Uncle Remus' stories pulls him through. Check WV Uncommonplace https://linktr.ee/wvuncommonplace

"Song of the South" is a 1946 American film produced by Walt Disney Productions and released by RKO Radio Pictures. The film is based on the Uncle Remus stories written by Joel Chandler Harris. The film features a combination of live-action and animation, and tells the story of a young boy named Johnny who visits his grandmother's plantation in the South and befriends a kindly old black man named Uncle Remus, who tells him a series of stories about the adventures of Brer Rabbit and other characters. The film was a commercial success and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Song for the song "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah". However, the film has been criticized for its depiction of African Americans and the use of racial stereotypes, and has not been widely released or shown on television since the 1980s due to concerns about its portrayal of black people. "Song of the South" is considered an important film in the history of American cinema for several reasons. Firstly, it was one of the first films to feature a live-action and animated elements, which was considered a new and innovative technique at the time. This blend of animation and live-action set the stage for many of the Disney films that followed, and helped establish Disney as a leader in the animation industry. Secondly, it was one of the first major Hollywood films to feature a primarily African American cast, which was significant as Hollywood at the time was very white-dominated. However, as mentioned before it has been criticized for its depiction of African Americans and the use of racial stereotypes. Lastly, the film's Academy Award-nominated song "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah" became a hit and is considered a classic song of the Disney canon. Despite its historical significance, the film's portrayal of African Americans and the use of racial stereotypes has led to it being largely unseen in recent years and not widely available for viewing.

Uncle Remus and Brer Rabbit by Joel Chandler Harris audiobook. Uncle Remus' stories feature a trickster hero called Br'er Rabbit ("Brother" Rabbit), who uses his wits to slide out of trouble and gain the advantage over the slower witted other animals, many of whom are trying to eat him. Br'er Rabbit stories were mostly collected directly from the afro-american oral story-telling tradition and are said to be a direct interpretation of Yoruba tales of Hare. This book contains 11 unique stories and was the last one published before the author's death.

The Tar Baby - And Other Rhymes of Uncle Remus by Joel Chandler Harris audiobook. 26 of Uncle Remus's stories put into verse and song. With the exception of the Tar Baby story, they were all new to this publication of 1904 and cover a variety of humorous subjects from Adan and Eve (De Appile Tree) to Brer Rabbit's Gigglin' Place. There are also genuine Camp Meeting Songs and a Corn Shuckin' Song.

Uncle Remus Returns by Joel Chandler Harris audiobook. Uncle Remus tells these 11 stories but to the son of the original "little boy" who is visiting his grandmother on the plantation. As always Uncle Remus can be relied upon to provide funny and pointed insight into human personalities through his story telling. These were all published in the Uncle Remus magazine from 1905 and 1906 and gathered together in this book by the author.

Uncle Remus and Friends - 17 stories by Joel Chandler Harris audiobook. Uncle Remus, that genial old storyteller, knows how to spin these wonderful tales about the 'criteers' that the little 6 year old boy (and many of us adults!) love to listen to. Yet the 'Brer Rabbit and 'Brer Fox and the others sound a lot like the people all around us. They tell stories about personalities and faults and virtues in a way that is unique to Uncle Remus. As the shadows grow longer outside, draw up a rocking chair next to the little boy, settle back and listen to the wise old man tell these stories. These 17 stories were specially chosen from Uncle Remus: His Songs and Sayings and include The Wonderful Tar-Baby Story, Miss Cow falls a Victim to Mr. Rabbit; Mr. Fox and the Deceitful Frogs; Mr. Rabbit grossly deceives Mr. Fox and lots of others.

What is the most controversial movie of all time? It might be some of the films we've already talked about but Walt Disney's post Civil War live action/animation hybrid Song of the South is definitely part of the conversation. It hasn't been released theatrically in the states since 1986, before some of us were born. Does it deserve to remain in the Disney Vault like images from Fantasia, The Rescuers and Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Or should it be widely available for the public to decide?Tune in as Mike and Trevor discuss the problematic nature of Joel Chandler Harris' tales of the south, Walt Disney's history with and surrounding the film and how it led to one of Disneyland's most beloved attractions.Warning!! The following episode involves several serious and ugly topics including slavery and racism. If you're looking for a more whimsical Disney review, unfortunately you'll have to look somewhere else.

Sergio Mims, our noted film scholar and friend, was well on his way to becoming “King Commentary” with all his official contributions to Blu-rays for Kino, Vinegar Syndrome and others. During the pandemic at the peak of lockdown, Collin Souter of Christmas Movies Actually, suggested that our good friend record one for Disney's controversial 1940 film, Song of the South. Sergio did not hesitate and delivered something for his friends. Some of them are here to again pay brief tribute to the man who was a regular part of the Movie Madness podcast. Erik Childress is joined by both Collin and the Director's Club host, Jim Laczkowski, to introduce this track that can now be experienced by everyone. Whether you have a version of the film to sync up with or not it doesn't matter, because you can just sit back and soak in the words of a film lover who left us way too soon. 0:00 – A Tribute To Sergio Mims by Erik Childress, Jim Laczkowski & Collin Souter 16:43 – Instructions To Cue Up Commentary 17:36 – Song Of The South Commentary By Sergio Mims

Nights With Uncle Remus by Joel Chandler Harris audiobook. That the little boy loved Uncle Remus and his stories was so obvious that the tale-spinning sessions began drawing additional listeners. Daddy Jack, an old "Africa man" visiting from down-state; Sis Tempy, the strong chief of the mansion's servants; and Tildy, a young and pretty servant-girl - all found their way to Uncle Remus' rude cabin when their duties or interests permitted, to sit around the hearth and hear the wonderful tales of the animals, and foremost among them, Brer Rabbit and Brer Fox. It turned out that some of the tales had different ways of telling, and the visitors took their turns at being the story-teller. Always one or more clever animals humbled or hornswoggled others among their community with flattery, wide-eyed mystery, or outright fraud. After the success of Harris' "Uncle Remus: His Songs and His Sayings" , he went on to write eight more books compiling the tales he himself had heard on the plantation in his young days. This is the first of those sequels.

Walt Disney made an academy award winning film that they worked hard to pull from the shelves. Only rare copies of VHS are left, and they have intentionally never released it on DVD... Do you know what that film is? There's even a ride in the Magic Kingdom based on the film. This episode is an exploration of the things we hide. Companies hide, institutions hide, churches and pastors hide, and even we hide. What is the impact of hiding?www.livealivepodcast.com

37: Chapter 37. The Thunder Builds Up Scripted by John Ruths and Newell Fisher This is the second of the thunder chapters and has a lot of back and forth setting changes, which keep the reader well informed and stimulate the building tension. The pre-chapter quote is from Uncle Remus.  It is spoken in Joel Chandler Harris's portrayal of African-American Vernacular English. The proverb, in standard American and British English, says "You can hide the fire, but what are you going to do with the smoke?" The quote is a clear reference to the secretive activities of Bigwig, the does, and eventually Blackavar who are also in the know.  Chapter 36 ends with Woundwort interrupting Bigwig just as the escape is about to begin.  Bigwig controls his emotions as he is asked many questions. The nature of these tell us that information is being brought to Woundwort.  Woundwort is starting to add things up. Bigwig was the rabbit who, albeit accidentally, got Mallow killed by a fox. He was recognised by Groundsel. The fact that Bigwig didn't mention this is clearly suspicious to Woundwort. Woundwort shares that he is aware of a band of rabbits on the far side of the Iron Road. He directly asks if Bigwig was with this group, forcing Bigwig to deny it. Then he is quizzed about the 'white bird' he was seen near, who was Kehaar, and simply says he's never been harmed by one of them before. As a parting shot, Woundwort asks about his meeting with Hyzenthlay ask him to keep an eye on her. It is intriguing to wonder if there is any chance that Woundwort might have put them all these pieces together eventually to guess their plan. Given the way he is fooled in the next chapter, it is easy to think not. This, for Bigwig, is a very dangerous moment but, overall, Bigwig gets through yet another social encounter in Efrafa.  At this point, he must feel somewhat emboldened. But the escape is over for now. He checks on Blackavar and deliberately knocks into one of the guards and even verbally dresses him down. The scene now moves to the little patrol-base like location where the rest of our heroes are, near the  river, and opens with Hazel.  Kehaar flies in and Hazel questions him about some important details that he's apparently repeated before.  Hazel is nervous.  What is certain is that the escape attempt is off for now and that their escape plan location at the railway arch, which is far nearer Efrafa, needs to change back to the river right away. We now cut back to Bigwig who is with Hyzenthlay. The signs of the stress he's been carrying is really starting to show and he's shaking. Hyzenthlay makes Bigwig even more nervous when she asks if it's possible to get away that evening.  She then relates that it's even possible that there could be a doe spy amongst the group she's spoken to.  If he lost his nerve and made a quick escape with just the ringleaders he would be seen as having failed, no matter what he had been through.  It is now the next morning and Bigwig's own common sense keeps him from panicking when he finds that Hyzenthlay is not there. It's quiet right now due to the building weather system overhead.  He hears Blackavar being brought up the run, who looks more pitiful than before if that's possible.  Chervil arrives and even he, as the mark's captain, seems subdued.  Nelthilta makes an unwise comment to him about a possible "surprise" coming up and that rabbits might be able to fly away.  Soon after they're outside, Bigwig plays a trick that El-ahrairah would really approve of.  Bigwig cleverly fools Chervil with a fake charm, consisting of a dance and a poem, while simultaneously giving Kehaar vital information about returning that night.     Some time later, Bigwig chances upon Blackavar. He uses this private moment to tell Blackavar the plan. This chapter reminds us just how intelligent and brave Bigwig can be under pressure. He goes to his burrow and sleeps. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/watershipdown/message

Even specialists in African-African history could be forgiven for drawing a blank at the mention of the name of Indianapolis native James Baskett. In spite of being the first black male actor to win an Oscar - for a role in which he sang a song that also won an Academy Award - Baskett's place in the annals of African-American history seems to be largely forgotten. That's because the role for which Baskett won his honorary Oscar was that of Uncle Remus in the much maligned, now virtually banned film Song of the South. The Disney musical was a modest hit when it was released in 1946, but changing sensibilities about race over the past three quarters of a century have made the film toxic to the image-conscious studio. Disney chose not to release the film for home viewing during the 1980s VCR boom; nor did they cash in on a DVD release in recent decades. With the 2019 advent of the Disney+ streaming service, Song of the South once again found itself locked out of the Magic Kingdom.  And not without good cause. Film critics and historians have condemned the film's sweetly nostalgic portrayal of the social hierarchy of Reconstruction-era South. As Guardian film blogger Xan Brooks put it recently, "the film trades in a dubious form of myth-making - implying that African-Americans stuck below the Mason-Dixon line were a cheerful bunch who liked nothing better than going fishing, spinning tall tales and looking after white folks' kids." The very title of the film and its focus on song can be viewed as perpetuating a racist myth. As 19th century abolitionist Frederick Douglass - who himself escaped slavery - commented, the singing of enslaved people in the Southern United States was not evidence of their contentment or happiness. "It is impossible to conceive of a greater mistake," Douglas wrote. "Slaves sing most when they are most unhappy." But does the film deserve to be virtually banned, especially when a novel like Gone with the Wind and its 1939 film adaption - with all their racial stereotyping, glorification of white privilege and perpetuation of the myth of the "happy slave" - are still held up as classics? Does Song of the South have anything to offer the modern viewer? Does the legacy of Hoosier James Baskett deserve to be reevaluated?  These are the questions explored by Hoosier History Live associate producer and guest host Mick Armbruster in this encore of a show that first aired in January of 2020. Mick is joined in studio by two guests: Film historian Eric Grayson, who specializes in the collection and preservation of vintage films; and Ophelia Wellington, director of Freetown Village, a living history museum she founded in 1982 out of a desire to teach African-American history.   The show also looks into how Baskett's portrayal of the Uncle Remus character might teach us something about the role of folklore in African-American culture, and explore how the content of his tales - with their focus on the archetypal trickster Brer Rabbit - can be traced back to folklore found among native cultures in Africa. And while the discussion may not leave listeners whistling "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah," we hope it does give them an appreciation of the legacy of Hoosier James Baskett and a more nuanced understanding of the film he starred in.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the 8th and final study session on the late Toni Morrison's 1981 novel, Tar Baby. The first black female to win the Nobel Prize for literature, Morrison, an Ohio native, died this summer at the age of 88. In edition to editing a number of black texts and compiling a gargantuan body of written work, Morrison encouraged other black females and males to write - including Dr. Angela Davis. The C.O.W.S. Book club examined The Bluest Eye in 2012. We'll recognize her passing by returning to her work, this time to read Tar Baby. The novel is named after the Uncle Remus character "Tar Baby." The term has been used a racist slur applied specifically to black children. This fable becomes an important part of the narrative. Last week's session saw Jadine and Son have an enormous brawl with each other after returning to New York from Eloe. They often fought about Valerian - specifically, Jadine's attachment to this White man. Jadine wants Son to get a job or take Valerian money's to start a business or go to school. Back on the island, Valerian continues to act greatly pained by the "revelation" that his wife abused their son, Michael. After Jadine dumps Son, she says it will be hard to forget him because of how well he "fucked." Again, black males are reduced to rapists and walking penises. #ReadingIsMoreImportantThanWatchingTelevision #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the seventh study session on the late Toni Morrison's 1981 novel, Tar Baby.

The term has been used a racist slur applied specifically to black children. This fable becomes an important part of the narrative. Last week's session saw Son and Jadine exit the island for the metropolis of New York City. Morrison described "The Biggle Apple" as a "black woman's town." While Jadine devours the big city restaurants, sightseeing, and fashion, Son struggles to secure employment. He's reduced to criminal activity and "brute work." He wonders to himself how he would be able to support a family in such an environment. Back on the island, Margaret attempts to minimize her child abuse by telling Valerian that it wasn't too bad and that it didn't really hurt their son, Michael, long term. #ReadingIsMoreImportantThanWatchingTelevision #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the fifth study session on the late Toni Morrison's 1981 novel, Tar Baby. The first black female to win the Nobel Prize for literature, Morrison, an Ohio native, passed away this summer at the age of 88. In edition to editing a number of black texts and compiling an mammoth body of written work, Morrison encouraged other black females and males to write - including Dr. Angela Davis. The C.O.W.S. Book club read The Bluest Eye in 2012. We'll recognize her passing by returning to her work, this time to read Tar Baby. The novel is named after the Uncle Remus character "Tar Baby." The term has been used a racist slur applied specifically to black children. This fable becomes an important part of the narrative. Last week's session featured a violent fracas between Ondine and Margaret Street. The brawl began when Valerian announced that he had fired two of the blacks servants for stealing stealing apples. Ondine became angered by this because it meant she would have more work to do and because of the trivial nature of the alleged offense. Her anger was enough to eventually compel her to divulge how Margaret Street violent abused her son Michael - including burning him. Margaret and Ondine engaged in a physical tussle before everyone was separated for the evening. Son and Jadine slept together - no sexual intercourse - following the conflict. #ReadingIsMoreImportantThanWatchingTelevision #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

While giving his own name, he expresses disgust at everyone refusing to call Gideon by his name, prefering to call him "Yardman." Jadine, Ondine and Sydney continue to express hostility and suspicion towards the black male while hoping Whites kick him out soon. #ReadingIsMoreImportantThanWatchingTelevision #TheCOWS10Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the third study session on the late Toni Morrison's 1981 novel, Tar Baby. The first black female to win the Nobel Prize for literature, Morrison, an Ohio native, passed away this summer at the age of 88. In edition to editing a number of black texts and compiling an awesome body of written work, Morrison encouraged other black females and males to write - including Dr. Angela Davis. The C.O.W.S. Book club read The Bluest Eye back in 2012. We'll recognize her passing by returning to her work, this time to read Tar Baby. The novel is named after the Uncle Remus character "Tar Baby." The term has been used a racist slur applied specifically to black children. This fable becomes an important part of the narrative. During last week's session most of the house was focused on the unnamed black male guest who was found lurking in the Street house. Both White and black characters refer to the black male as a "wild" animal. It's assumed that this black male intends to rape. While speaking with Jadine, he asks her if she had to have sex to advance on her job. This sparks a massive brawl where Jadine spits on him and strikes him until the black male subdues her. She threatens to tell White people. Mr. Street seems mostly amused with the black male's presence - not in the least bit concerned about his wife being raped. #ReadingIsMoreImportantThanWatchingTelevision #TheCOWS10Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

During last week's session we got additional information about the White family on the Caribbean island, the Streets. Mr. Street is more than 20 years his wife's senior and is retired from a Philadelphia candy empire. Morrison spends a good deal of time describing their most famous chocolate candies, "Teddy Boys," in comparison the "faggoty" candies made to honor Mr. Street. Mrs. Margaret Street is anxious for the return of her adult son, but it seems she was a negligent mother to her young son, who not functions as though he does not need his parents. The unnamed black male stowaway from the opening of the text was found trespassing in the Streets' residents. After holding the intruder under the barrel of a gun, Mr. Street invites him for dinner. #TheCOWS10Years #ReadingIsMoreImportantThanWatchingTelevision INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE 564943#

The Street family uses their wealth to import foreign animal species, hire black help, and insist that Christmas is celebrated properly. We begin to learn about tragic arrangements early in the text; Jadine, a black female, contemplates whether her White beau, "Ryk" likes her or is just into black chics. #ReadingIsMoreImportantThanWatchingTelevision #TheCOWS10Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#
