Today we will finish Chapter 2 of Everyday Use, discuss A Taste of Power, and finally give you some time to work on the assessment on AP Classroom.
Your essay on A Taste of Power will be due next Monday. It is below:
Connecting Brown with Susan Sontag and Maxine Hong ("No Named Women") comment on the following: "(Brown)
stands firmly against the masculinist, undemocratic rule of Panther
leadership, while at other times she enjoys being a part of that
absolute power. At times Brown supports the need for women’s rights to
be a part of the Black Panthers’ future, while at other times that
feminist urge is completely subjugated in the name of pragmatism." What
is Brown's ultimate message - particularly regarding women? Is it
inclusion, exclusion? How does it relate to the Black Panther Movement?
Why. Take a side on the argument and using evidence from the text,
discuss what Brown's ultimate message about women and race is?
