This title includes a book and 4 CDs. A century in words, pictures
and music - lucid, informative and entertaining. The earBOOKS
"Masterpieces" series provides a compact overview of music and
painting through the centuries. The "1600-1700" volume presents the
most important artworks and musical compositions of the 17th
century. Background detail and points of interest in relation to
each painting or piece of music are conveyed through concise and
illuminating commentaries. A comprehensive introduction sets the
scene, expanding on the century's historical connection to the art
of the period. Music CDs: A wealth of musical highlights from the
17th century can be enjoyed on the four CDs accompanying the book.
Performers like Britta Schwarz, Christoph Genz, Ludwig Guttler, the
Dresdner Kreuzchor, The Harp Consort with Andrew Lawrence King and
the Schutz Akademie, directed by Howard Arman guarantee top-class
performances.
In many popular depictions of Black resistance to slavery,
stereotypes around victimization and the heroic efforts of a small
number of individuals abound. These ideas ignore the powers of
ordinary families and obscure the systematic working of racism.
Tending to the Past: Selfhood and Culture in Children’s
Narratives about Slavery and Freedom examines Black-authored
historical novels and films for children that counter this
distortion and depict creative means by which ordinary African
Americans survived slavery and racism in early America. Tending to
the Past argues that this important, understudied historical
writing—freedom narratives—calls on young readers to be active,
critical thinkers about the past and its legacies within the
present. The book examines how narratives by children’s book
authors, such as Joyce Hansen, Julius Lester, Marilyn Nelson, and
Patricia McKissack, and the filmmakers Charles Burnett and Zeinabu
irene Davis, were influenced by Black cultural imperatives, such as
the Black Arts Movement, to foster an engaged, culturally aware
public. Through careful analysis of this rich body of work, Tending
to the Past thus contributes to ongoing efforts to construct a
history of Black children’s literature and film attuned to its
range, specificity, and depths. Tending to the Past provides
illuminating interpretations that will help scholars and educators
see the significance of the freedom narratives’ reconstructions
in a neoliberal era, a time of shrinking opportunities for many
African Americans. It offers models for understanding the powers
and continuing relevance of the Black child’s creative agency and
the Black cultural practices that have fostered it.

Die vorliegende Arbeit ist aus meiner 1984 an der Universitat
Harnburg einge reichten Magisterarbeit Le Corbusier: Poeme
Electronique. Studien zum Philips Pavillon, Weltausstellung
Brusse/1958 entstanden. Sie hatte nicht geschrieben werden konnen
ohne einen vom Deutschen Akademischen Austauschdienst finanzierten
Studienaufenthalt in Paris und ein zweijahriges
Promotionsstipendium der Uni versitat Hamburg, dessen Gewahrung ich
der Fursprache von Herrn Professor Martin Warnke verdanke. Er hat
meine Arbeit mit Geduld und Umsicht betreut. Zu grossem Dank
verpflichtet bin ich ebenfalls Herrn Dr. Fritz Jacobs, der mein
Interesse fur Le Corbusier geweckt und mich bei der Klarung vieler
Probleme stets hilfsbereit unterstutzt hat. Einblick in die
Arbeitsorganisation im Atelier Le Corbusiers ermoglichten mir
Auskunfte seiner fruheren Mitarbeiter, fur deren
Gesprachsbereitschaft ich mich hier bedanke: der Sekretarin, J
eannette Gabillard, sowie Roggio Andreini, Roger Aujame, Fernand
Gardien, Guillermo Jullian de la Fuente, Robert Rebutato und Andre
Wogenscky. Den Mitarbeitern der, Fondation Le Corbusier' in Paris,
in erster Linie Evelyne Trehin und Martine Lasson, danke ich fur
ihre Hilfsbereitschaft. Kritik und Hilfe erfuhr ich auch von Dagmar
Nowitzki und Stefan Brenske. Einleitung "Das grosse Rom ist voll
von Triumphbogen. Wer errichtete sie? . . ."
