Alfred Young’s The Shoemaker and the Tea Party

Shoemaker and Tea Party Group Discussion – Shoemaker Group 2

This discussion revolves around the events covered in Alfred Young’s The Shoemaker and the Tea Party: Memory and the American Revolution.

In preparation for this assignment, you will each be named to a team comprised of about ten members. Over the course of the discussion, each team will be debating over two competing propositions:

  1. The decline in class inequality in America – that’s what stands out most about the Revolutionary era.”
  2. “The persistence of class inequality in America – that’s what stands out most about the Revolutionary era.”

Debate “position” assignments:

If the last two digits of your birth year are ODD, you take #1 debate position.

If the last two digits of your birth year are EVEN, you take #2 debate position.

The debate will go through two phases:

First Phase

For the first phase, each member of your team will have posted a statement of 300-350 words, making the case in support of their proposition.

Second Phase For the second phase of the discussion, each participant should post two further statements of 200-250 words, each responding to an argument made by a team member from the opposing side.

In formulating your replies, illustrate your points with examples from Alfred Young’s The Shoemaker and the Tea Party: and, where pertinent, from other assigned readings on the Revolutionary period.

Watch the section of his biography from PBS American Experience. When you finish reflect on Carter’s story. How did Carter’s perceived “weaknesses” turn out to be strengths in the Camp David situation? What specific actions did he take during the negotiations that helped them succeed?

Camp David

Watch the section of his biography from PBS American Experience. When you finish reflect on Carter’s story. Presidents bring strengths in some areas and not in others. Presidents also have the presidency that history hands to them. How did Carter’s perceived “weaknesses” turn out to be strengths in the Camp David situation? What specific actions did he take during the negotiations that helped them succeed?

Afterword: Sadat and Begin were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1978. On October 6, 1981, Sadat was assassinated during the annual victory parade held in Cairo. Begin resigned in 1983. Carter was defeated in the 1980 election. But the treaty negotiated at Camp David in 1978, still stands– over 40 years later.

 

 

Write a 1500 to 2500-word autobiographical essay examining your relationship with the Africana cultural heritage. Discuss, in detail, the historical and cultural context in which you grew up, your family structure(s), and how it meshed with the African in ‘African-American’ culture.

CULTURAL AUTOBIOGRAPHY

You are to write a 1500 to 2500-word autobiographical essay examining your relationship with the Africana cultural heritage. Discuss, in detail, the historical and cultural context in which you grew up, your family structure(s), and how it meshed with the African in ‘African-American’ culture. Provide as much detail as is necessary and that space will allow. Discuss your cultural background as it impacts your thought processes and worldview.

Conceptual Development

In your cultural autobiography, you should go beyond merely stating, for example, that you are a Black, Jamaican descended, English-speaking male etc. or a second-generation Jamaican American, multilingual female who was raised in a working-class family etc. How does Africana Studies address the story of you and your family? How can the constituent disciplines in Africana Studies (History, Sociology, Psychology, Political science, etc.) shed light on the complexity of your story? Frantz Fanon wrote that true education must, “make the history of the nation part of the personal experience of each of its citizens.” Choose two disciplines that are relevant and analyze your life using at least one distinct model from each discipline. For example, how has institutional decimation affected your community? Be clear, name the model, the discipline and discuss how it relates to your life.

Consider the major event that occurred during your birth year or upbringing. How does that event speak to the historical context that shaped your life? How should you grapple with telling your own story in a raging sea of history? This should take some careful thinking.

Use of Evidence

Utilize the previous research and content relevant from the course to tell your story.

Review the BLHAC concepts and Africana Studies theories as evidence to support the argument presented in your Cultural Autobiography.

Incorporate the voices of the most significant “Thought Leaders” that contribute to the telling of your Cultural Autobiography.

Reflect on the different “Ways of Knowing” to determine the types of methods and evidence utilized in the discipline of Africana Studies that will support your Cultural Autobiography:

  • Archival Research
  • Document Analysis
  • Case Studies
  • Field Notes
  • Focus Groups
  • Interviews and Surveys
  • Literature Review
  • Mapping
  • Participant Observation • Primary Sources
  • Rituachols and Tradition
  • Secondary Sources
