Ceremonies of Dark Old Men

A 7 page paper discussing this 1969 Elder play. "Ceremonies In Dark Old Men" has become a classic portrayal of the black family in theatre while providing a glimpse of hope in the face of deteriorating social conditions.

Changing our Future
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. While many of us wish for the good life and want better things, not all of us are ready to admit what it takes to get there. Changing our future and shaping our life are part of everybody's hopes and desires.

We see all these features in two short stories discussed herein; The Lesson, by Toni Cade Bambara and In Exile by Anton Chekhov. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Charles W. Chestnutt: The House Behind the Cedars (1900)
[ send me this paper ]
(9 pp) The success of "passing" for white dangles in front of those with "mixed blood," in the South of the post-Civil war. Education and training may make "the passing," easier to accomplish, but still maintains a social fragility, that is always in danger of collapsing. Chestnutt mines this psychological tension, as we wish for our major characters to succeed, and at the same time realize the odds and the history, that they are working against.

Chesnutt's "The House Behind The Cedars" - Racism
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Atypical of the standard theme of racial intolerance found in most literary circles, Chesnutt's The House Behind the Cedars delves into the impact that being mulatto has upon John and Rena's ability to intersect with white society. The extent to which this duality has a fluctuating effect upon the brother and sister is both grand and far-reaching; that John and Rena experience a full circle from cultural prosperity to personal tragedy all due to the way in which their mulatto appearance both helped and hindered their quest for social equality speaks to the way even those closest to them were unwilling to abandon their racial prejudices once they learned the truth. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Chester Himes/Real Cool Killers
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page essay that discusses Chester Himes' mystery novel The Real Cool Killers, which was first published in 1959. It features the detective team of Coffin Ed Johnson and Grave Digger Jones, two black policemen who bear the responsibility of policing the black community of Harlem. Additionally, Coffin Ed and Grave Digger interpret that community and its residents to the white policemen, which make up the majority of the New York Police Department (NYPD) in the late 1950s. The novel's black protagonists negotiate a fine line between the institutionalized prejudice of the white-controlled system and maintaining some degree of social order in the black community. Examination of the novel reveals the complex motivations that fuel their actions and their anger. No additional sources cited.

Chinua Achebe's "A Man For The People"
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Nigerian existence may have been significantly oppressive under the rule of British imperialism; however, the struggles that Africans faced after this rule had been eliminated served to more defiantly strengthen their quest for independence. In Chinua Achebe's critic of African politics in "A Man For The People," the fictional account becomes alarmingly lifelike, inasmuch as the coup that ultimately overthrows Nanga's system of abuse eerily and directly mirrors the real-life coup that takes place in 1966. No additional sources cited.
