• Book of the Month Discussion: The Blacker the Berry by Wallace Thurman

  
  PostBourgie — Authority: 601
  My earliest reading of Wallace Thurman’s The Blacker the Berry , I believed and still contend that this novel is a defense of dark-colored skin. His portrayal of the light skin antagonists and the bevy of characters who subscribe to the “light is right” mindset are one dimensional and often vicious. This ...

Amy Hendren and Hartmut Blank set up a field experiment where they had a person wearing a t-shirt approach strangers and ask for 10 pence to feed a parking meter. In all, 240 strangers were approached. In some cases, the t-shirt ...

  Welcome to The Hidden Brain blog. In the weeks and months to come, I am hoping to start conversations about the effects of unconscious bias in everyday life. Some of these conversations may touch on The Hidden Brain, a book I have coming out in January, 2010, but I am hoping this blog will be about the larger issue of ...

• Book Discussion — The Recognitions

  
  An und fr sich — Authority: 553
  Reading: pp. 222-277 My original intention was to do an Open Thread for today, but after finishing the reading I couldn’t contain myself from tapping out a short post instead. The thing that jumps out at me repeatedly in this chapter is the power of representative recognition. Notice the heavy emphasis placed on ...

  Blogs — Authority: 161
  When I was a resident I was given the opportunity to participate in a series of seminars designed to improve my teaching skills. In one discussion group the discussion leader asked us a question to which no one had an immediate answer. He waited. And waited. And waited. Finally, one of my colleagues offered an ...

  An und fr sich — Authority: 553
  Reading: pp. 154-221 We’re back to the masquerade — that is, if we ever left. Hard to tell, that, especially when it all occurs in front of mirrors. Lots of mirrors in this week’s reading, especially when it comes to Otto. I wonder, as an aside, whether anybody will confess to (ever) being like him. Surely, ...

  I was away from a computer over the holiday, preferring instead the bright lights of Las Vegas, and failed to post an Open Thread on Friday. Sorry for that. Fortunately, I see that those who wanted to comment did so anyway. That’s good. Anyway, this is just a quick reminder that our discussion will pick back up on ...

  – With his ability and your ambition, she said, taking Otto’s arm, and looking away too soon to see the expression she brought to his face, — I’d have quite a remarkable man. (136) As I said last week, one of the things I most appreciate about Gaddis is his ability to crystallize beautifully his expansive ...

• A Reminder

  
  An und fr sich — Authority: 553
  Just as a quick reminder, our Week 2 reading of The Recognitions will take place on Friday. Our focus will be chapter three, where we find that the troubled marriage of Don and Betty Draper doesn’t hold a candle to that of Wyatt and Esther Gwyon. Should make for a good time.

• MP3 Discussion Group: Leyland Kirby’s ‘Sadly, the Future …’

  
  Disquiet — Authority: 469
  When is an album not an album? Perhaps when it consists of 20 songs — two of them topping 20 minutes each, over half over 10 minutes, none shorter than four — spread over three CDs, at which point it can feel as much like a challenge as it does an act of artistic self-expression. That’s certainly a teetering ...

He’s also an anomaly of nurture and it has taken a village to raise him. The Blind Side by Michael Lewis chronicles Oher’s turbulent childhood, his unlikely ascent into ...
