Schneider, A., & Wright, C. (2006). Contemporary Art and Anthropology. NY, NY: Berg.

I have yet to really get into this book I found at the library. It is a book with different articles by different authors. I did the source for the entire book for now, until I decide which articles I use. With my topic being Contemporary Art, I couldn’t resist it.

Rugg, J., & Sedgwick, M. (2007). Issues in Curating Contemporary Art and Performance. Chicago, IL: Intellect Ltd..

This is another book complied of different authors. I am going to interview the owner of at least one gallery in Charleston and I thought that this might have good information to go along with my own personal findings.

Smith, T. (2007). Contemporary Art + Philanthropy. Sydney, AUS: University of South Wales Press Ltd..

I like the concept of this books title. There is an article in it titled, “A Firm Foundation for Devloping Culture” by David Elliot that deals with the definition of contemporary art and trying to grasp at what it is.

This article challenges the somewhat ethnocentric notion that only English should be tolerated in the ESL classroom. It would be interesting to know what actually is most effective.
2. Gitlin, Andrew, et. al. “The Production of Margin and Center: Welcoming-Unwelcoming of Immigrant Students” American Educational Research Journal, Vol. 40, No. 1 (Spring, 2003), pp. 91-122.

I am interested in knowing the kinds of generational conflicts that might occur in the immigrant family due to varying degrees of assimilation into greater American culture.

Part of my project might tentatively examine various parts of the immigrant experience, including reasons for or against becoming fully integrated and learning English. I am curious to know if learning English might be seen as an escape from a poor occupational environment.

Annotated Bibliography

Published by dakillee under fall2009

Chilton, John. A jazz nursery: the story of the Jenkins’ Orphanage Bands of Charleston, South Carolina. London: Bloomsbury Book Shop, 1980

This pamphlet follows the story of a jazz band in Charleston and I feel like it would be helpful to me considering I am trying to learn more about jazz culture here in the city.  I think knowing more about the personal worlds of some of the musicians would be good insight into that culture.

Lawrence W. Levine. “Jazz and American Culture”. The Journal of American Folklore, Vol. 102, No. 403 (Jan. – Mar., 1989), pp. 6-22.

Another article looking at jazz and american culture (the basis of my research topic); helpful to me in that it elaborates on the history of the culture associated with jazz in this country.

McCray, Jack. Charleston Jazz. Charleston: Arcadia, 2007.

I haven’t been able to get a good look at this pamphlet because it is locked away in the special collections room which has pretty restrictive hours but the title has seemed to say it all.

Morroe Berger. “Jazz: Resistance to the Diffusion of a Culture-Pattern”.

The Journal of Negro History, Vol. 32, No. 4 (Oct., 1947), pp. 461-494.

This article is outdated (written in 1947) but it takes a look at jazz music and race in America from a perspective of an educated white man of that time period, its an interesting paper that I think is useful in that it helps me see in the perspective of that time.

O’Meally, Robert G. The Jazz Cadence of American Culture. New York: Columbia University Press, 1998.

Chapter 24 of this book is jazz and american culture and is one of the few books I have found thus far to talk about jazz and the culture that is associated with it.  Chapter 28 discusses constructing the jazz tradition, also helpful in learning more about the ways if jazz culture.

Panish, Jon. The Color of Jazz: Race and Representation in Postwar American Culture. Jackson: University Press of Mississippi, 1997.

This book will be helpful because it looks at the role jazz has played among different races over time and what it means to different groups of people.  I think it will aide me in understanding people’s (whom I interview) stories when I ask them about what jazz means to them.


Ward, Geoffrey C. Jazz: A History of America’s Music. New York: Random House, 2000.

This book will help me in understanding the history of jazz, especially in America (where it seems to have developed first).  Also, I am trying to delve more into the history of where jazz came from and where and how the culture attached to it has developed and this books goes through its birth and stages throughout the country.
