Invisible Cultures

Existence, like culture, is constructed from the experiences of the individual and is shaped by the physical, social, and political contexts of life as experienced by the group. This 5 page paper argues that Ralph Ellison in The Invisible Man, W. E. B. Du Bois in Spiritual Strivings, Leslie Marmon Silko in Ceremony and Amiri Baraka in Blues People each see the theme of invisibility from a cultural conflict based on subjugation, assimilation, appropriation, extermination and, or, dispossession.

Jean-Jacque Rousseau (1712-1778)
[ send me this paper ]
(8 pp) Rousseau was a mental explorer - not a very happy one, but like all good philosophers he did take a stand at trying to figure why certain things were as they were. He still looked for truth and beauty, but never seemed to be able to see it in himself. Themes of freedom and citizenship are discussed in terms of Rouseau's Basic Political writings including The Discourses on the Sciences and the Arts, the Inequality of Man, as well as On the Social Contract.

Jerry Mander/The Indian Worldview

The discussion of this chapter summarizes Mander’s principal points in making this argument. No additional sources cited.
