The piece Yuma Buck and Nude Squaw by Henry Buehman taken place in the Tucson Arizona Territory in the 1870s is a visual representation of colonialism within the 70s. Because Buehman was a white man and an outsider looking into the Indian community that he studied, audiences are easily able to see the informed accents of colonialism in his work. This photo in particular represents the the concept of the colonial gaze quite well. By definition the colonial gaze is how westerners and non-westerners see Indigenous people. The individuals within the photo look as if they have a lot of disinterest in the photoshoot, which is what Buehman may have been hoping for. Because they are not smiling or in a confident pose it is almost as if Buehman is intentionally trying to represent the colonial gaze. …show more content…
In the photo it is as if he uses the woman to represent what the Europeans see in Indigenous people such as savage, uncivilized, and dirty, and on the other hand he dresses the man in more of a European outfit of choice with the black vest and shirt and pants. He still somewhat represents a dirtier side of the man aswell because he is not wearing any shoes, but because his clothing presents European culture it is almost as if he is more powerful in the photo. Buehman seems to be playing with power in this photo as well as he dresses what looks to be the woman on the right as vulnerable by showering her breasts and wearing a skirt where as the man is dressed more formally. At the same time he represents a kind of resistance to colonialism by wanting to dress a man in clothes similar to his, and showing that he can look good in those
“Buck” was written by author M.K. Asante, “Buck” is about a kid named Malo who grew up dealing with the wrong type of crowd. Malo made a lot of messed up decisions getting into a lot of trouble with cops, drugs, and etc. Even though Malo was a bad kid, Malo ended up turning his life around for the better getting an education.
The ink print look of blotched shapes and heavy tonal contrast shows how these images are like records and "bare witness” to the events in the 18th century. The staggered tonal variation from white to black shows the dismay of Indigenous people to their dismal as inhabitants. The colour blue in this work is symbolic of the saturation of British culture in a foreign environment. Bennett uses not only visual but textual language to convey the effects of colonialism. The stencilled words stamp the brutality of that process.
This video is about a man named Morgan Spurlock, who spent 30 days on a Native American reservation. The reservation that Spurlock lived on was the biggest Indian reservation called the Navajo Indian reservation. Just before Spurlock got to the reservation his thoughts of how the Navajo people looked and lived were similar to mine. Looking back on all of the images and how the Native American culture is showcased on TV, kind of planted this image in our minds. We both thought that Native Americans wore these huge headpieces made of large colorful feathers, beads, and face paint. The people living in Navajo did not look like that unless preforming some type of ritual.
In each image, I picked, I looked up how women were viewed in their culture and throughout the years. The first image I choose is the chief lady of Pomeiooc and her daughter. In 1585, the image was drawn by John White, who was an English traveler and the founder/ governor of the “lost Colony” of Roanoke (Carolina Algonquian tribe in eastern North Carolina). North Carolina was inhabited by a number of native tribes that share some culture traits. At the time more than thirty Native American tribes were living in North Carolina. They spoke languages derived from three language groups, the Siouan, Iroquoian, and Algonquian. The next image is a cartoon called “a society of patriotic ladies” by the British print on 1774. On October 1774, Edenton
Life involves many hardships that may seem impossible to overcome, but with the right amount of strength, one can move beyond the wall of struggle, pain, hate, depression, and any set back. Many can relate to the events in this book because it was written by a normal person, living a normal life, who faced many problems just like any human being, yet, these struggles relate just as much to various theories. Some experiences in Buck come from the negative representation of woman, oppression of Malo, Amina, and Uzi, and Afrocentricity of Chaka. By observing this, M.K. Asante’s book, Buck, can be viewed through a Feminism, Marxism, and New Historicism theoretical lens.
This shows women in the Native American culture, as the one’s who made the clothing, while men were out doing labor. As the Native American’s began contact with the Europeans, their ability to continue to make clothing, according to their cultural traditions were destroyed. The Europeans brought over new items and resources that made it impossible for these Natives to maintain their traditional ways of clothing. The interaction between the Natives and Europeans drastically changed the way Native American’s dressed. This can explain why the blouse is modeled on European Styles.
Buck Book Report Buck is a memoir written by the author, M.K. Asante. It is about young Malo growing up in Killadelphia … or better known as Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Reading Buck, I felt as if I was there when the various events took place. I enjoyed reading the book but, three chapters stood out to me; chapters twenty-eight, twenty-nine, and thirty.
The American desire to culturally assimilate Native American people into establishing American customs went down in history during the 1700s. Famous author Zitkala-Sa, tells her brave experience of Americanization as a child through a series of stories in “Impressions of an Indian Childhood.” Zitkala-Sa, described her journey into an American missionary where they cleansed her of her identity. In “Impressions of an Indian Childhood,” Zitkala-Sa uses imagery in order to convey the cruel nature of early American cultural transformation among Indian individuals.
The selected image does not have an official title, but it can best be classified by the subject who it displays, “Lucy Dick.” It should be noted that the name Lucy is not the name that was assigned to the woman at birth; it was the name given to her by white settlers after being forced to leave the land that her people, the Chetco Indians of Oregon, and there is no known record of her previous name. She is well-known for being that last full-blooded Chetco Indian, serving as a sort of symbol for a people and a way of life that has deteriorated due to the relocation and assimilation enforced upon Oregon Native Americans by white settlers. It can be said that this photograph is representative of the plights experienced by the Indigenous people of Oregon in the years leading up to Western Oregon Indian Termination Act of 1954.
In John Smith’s The General History of Virginia, New England, and the Summer Isles, his portrayal of the Native Americans is that of a tradition-driven people, who were willing to trade and occasionally aid the colonists, but were ultimately considered barbarians. The traditional aspect of the native’s culture can be found in their descriptions of fighting and dancing, with one of Smith’s first hostile encounters describing the Native Powhatan warriors being painted in different colors while “singing

After the Civil War, the American Southerners had a strong trauma that could not be forgotten. Considering that William Faulkner was also one of these Southerners, approaching to his texts through a psychoanalytic lens would be a meaningful work. In fact, Faulkner is one of the rare writers who faced Southern racial ‘taboo’: the miscegenation. In addition, a Southern Renaissance that what Faulkner does with the South through his novels are very similar with what Freud did with the European civilization after the World War I in his work about ‘psychoanalytic mourning’ (Lee 229). Actually, Faulkner went through the World War I just like Freud did and he is one of the “Lost Generations”: a group of writers who were strongly affected by the inhumanity of war. Thus, this essay will focus on analyzing Faulkner’s “The Bear” in psychoanalytical view.
ADHD is a neurological mental disorder that evolves throughout childhood and can linger into adulthood. Even though ADHD in adults is more familiar than originally thought, not all children who have these indications will grow up to have the adult version of the disorder. Doctors are not yet sure, but ADHD is believed to be passed down genetically. ADHD is a long-term disorder, although as a grown-up, they may not show as many indications as for when they were younger. This specific brain disorder frequently causes underachievement and poor or lacking behavior in children, adolescents, and adults. But the disorder is not at all related to intelligence, brain damage or weak parenting. 2-5% of all children are afflicted with ADHD to some extent.
Seventy-one percent of students report incidents of bullying in American schools each year (“Anti-Bullying”). This bullying can take many forms, but they are all harmful. Although bullying has occurred for generations, the types of bullying have changed, which has led to higher numbers of incidences and more severe effects or those being bullied.
