13023 The Psychology of the Conflict Between Frederick Douglass and Mr. Covey. Autobiographies present a personal view of a life that often lacks the kind of unflinching insight that a biography brings. But, the strength of the autobiography is that it presents a person's individual view of their lives. They present stories and details that most others could not know. Frederick Douglass was never more artfully subtle or persuasive than in "Narrative of the Life of an American Slave." In this memoir, Douglass - a black man who, as slavery was still in practice, engendered admiration and respect from both black and white people, including Abraham Lincoln - revealed his torturous boyhood as the work-beast of many owners of varying degrees of cruelty, though none so bad as Mr. Covey. The eloquently keen observations made by this former slave flew in the face of the conventional rationale that black people were just dumb beasts put on Earth for the use of white men. In "Narrative," Douglass ultimately earns his right to be a man in a final physical and psychological showdown with his brutal master, Covey. He achieves his 'rebellion', by defying those who would whip him (Mr. Covey), and those who would censor his identity as a man and a human. It is the purpose of this paper to examine the psychology of the relationship between Douglass and Covey and to demonstrate how it was psychology that ultimately defeated Covey. 6-pages, bibliography lists 5 sources.

1702 Discrimination Against African Americans: Past and Present. This paper will address the issues and concepts that surround discrimination against African Americans throughout history. However, the conclusion is made that, while there is some support for the widely held notion that ethnic and racial inequality is slowly diminishing in the US, a more substantial body of evidence suggests that there really is not much to be applauded. This paper will look at the first African Americans, the Pullman Porters, African Americans that have actively participated in American military service, and a look at the present-day demographic and occupational situation experienced by many African Americans. 21 pgs. 37 f/c. 11b.

1735 Oppression and Transgression: Apartheid and Acts of Resistance in South Africa. This paper will examine the history of South Africa in the twentieth century. With an emphasis upon its recent history, it will be argued that we may understand the history of the resistance against Apartheid only by appreciating its complexity. It will begin with a discussion of the origins of the racist state in 1910, and early responses to racist oppression on the part of groups such as the African National Congress that was formed in 1912. It will be shown how this resistance gradually evolved from peaceful protest to violent struggle in reaction to the casual brutalities of the racist system, which was punctuated by random atrocities such as the Sharpeville Massacre. It will be seen that the resistance against Apartheid was also fought on other fronts; most significantly in the form of the economic pressure and sanctions exerted against the regime by both domestic and foreign opponents. 10 pgs. 27 f/c. 6b.

2182 Sembene's and Mandela's Vision. Ousmane Sembene and Nelson Mandela offer two visions of postcolonial Africa. Mandela envisions the future as promising and sees the possibility of cooperation between former oppressors and victims. He sees the struggle through the lens of the individual and envisions humanity as frail and yet filled with courage. He is optimistic and forgiving. Sembene is not as forgiving and his vision is one more of protest. He does not see the possibility of cooperation and envisions the struggle through the lens of the collective, rather than through the individual. Overall, Mandela has the more realizable vision, because it is more tuned into the real world and understanding of human nature. There cannot be perfection and a society must ultimately try to reconcile its differences. 3 pgs. 0 f/c. 2b.
