Power Mode explores the role fashion plays in establishing, reinforcing and challenging power dynamics within society. The book explores men's and women's clothing from the 18th century to the present, showing how specific designs and garments have come to be culturally associated with power and how their meanings have evolved over time. Published as a companion to the Museum at FIT exhibition of the same title, the book offers a more in-depth examination of the themes and objects explored in the exhibition. The book is organized thematically into five chapters--military, suits, status, rebellion, sex--and is written by exhibition curator Emma McClendon. The book also looks at how fashion designers have interpreted stylistic archetypes, to both convey and to subvert power. Power Mode includes an essay on the intersection of race, fashion and power by Parsons professor Kimberly Jenkins as well as object-based essays from renowned fashion scholars Valerie Steele, Christopher Breward, Jennifer Craik and Peter McNeil, as well as Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Robin Givhan. Each short study provides a close reading of a single garment. This collection of essays offers readers a variety of perspectives and analytical techniques that will help form a theoretical and practical framework for considering the power dynamics inherent in fashion objects.

Born in the late 19th century, jazz gained mainstream popularity during a volatile period of racial segregation and gender inequality. It was in these adverse conditions that jazz performers discovered the power of dress as a visual tool used to defy mainstream societal constructs, shaping a new fashion and style aesthetic. Fashion and Jazz is the first study to identify the behaviours, signs and meanings that defined this newly evolving subculture.
Drawing on fashion studies and cultural theory, the book provides an in-depth analysis of the social and political entanglements of jazz and dress, with individual chapters exploring key themes such as race, class and gender. Including a wide variety of case studies, ranging from Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald to Louis Armstrong and Chet Baker, it presents a critical and cultural analysis of jazz performers as modern icons of fashion and popular style.
Addressing a number of previously underexplored areas of jazz culture, such as modern dandyism and the link between drug use and glamorous dress, Fashion and Jazz provides a fascinating history of fashion's dialogue with African-American art and style. It is essential reading for students of fashion, cultural studies, African-American studies and history.

Описание: Most white philosophers of religion generally presume that philosophy of religion is based on what is a false universality; whereby the white/Western experience is paradigmatic of humanity at-large. The fact remains that Howard Thurman, James H. Cone and William R. Jones, among others, have produced a substantial amount of theological work quite worthy of consideration by philosophers of religion. Yet this corpus of thought is not reflected in the scholarly literature that constitutes the main body of philosophy of religion. Neglect and ignorance of African American Studies is widespread in the academy. By including chapters on Thurman, Cone and Jones, the present book functions as a corrective to this scholarly lacuna.

Описание: It's the phone call that every parent dreads. When the ringing awakened Jackie Carpenter on that black Georgia night, she found everything she had ever known or believed or trusted ripped from her. Jackie's gentle son Jason was in jail, accused of murder, and Jason's wife and six year old son were shaken and helpless. What began as a nightmare grew into an ordeal. The story caught fire, grabbed headlines, and polarized a community. As she spiraled deeper into night, Jackie found herself adrift. Jason sat, terrified, in jail. Jackie began to fight with the ferociousness of a mama tiger, to save her sanity, her family, and hold on to her faith. What Jackie found in the darkness was a treasure that now empowers her. For though she was lost, she was never alone. And her message is now one of hope, and of the eternal light that cuts through the darkest night.

This book presents the first introduction to African American academic philosophers, exploring their concepts and ideas and revealing the critical part they have played in the formation of philosophy in the USA.
The book begins with the early years of educational attainment by African American philosophers in the 1860s. To demonstrate the impact of their philosophical work on general problems in the discipline, chapters are broken down into four major areas of study: Axiology, Social Science, Philosophy of Religion and Philosophy of Science. Providing personal narratives on individual philosophers and examining the work of figures such as H. T. Johnson, William D. Johnson, Joyce Mitchell Cooke, Adrian Piper, William R. Jones, Roy D. Morrison, Eugene C. Holmes, and William A. Banner, the book challenges the myth that philosophy is exclusively a white academic discipline. Packed with examples of struggles and triumphs, this engaging introduction is a much-needed approach to studying philosophy today.
