Imperialism In White Man's Burden

156 Words1 Page

The illustration shows a native being carried by a white soldier because the whites forced the natives to learn their religion, language, politics, and economics. As the whites were in charge of this burden the image shows the non-white man being hauled by the white soldier up a hill (with things on it) instead of a regular pathway to show that it was a struggle for all. This describes imperialism by showing that they just barged into a country and changed their whole lifestyle. In the image towards the right back there appears to be a house; I believe that is where the soldier is taking the native. The native will learn the whites religion, language, and their believes in politics/economics. This relates to the poem, “White Man’s Burden”

  • White Hegemonic Americanness: Double Consciousness

    308 Words  | 2 Pages

    Kaitlyn, Referring to question 6, you are correct when you say that double consciousness is related to Blackness and Americanness, however I would like to add that it specifically refers to white hegemonic Americanness, which contributes to the bind that many of these hip hop artists feel in regards to the exclusive boundaries between these two different cultures. Specifically, Hess in his essay “The Rap Career” within That’s the Joint refers to this when “artists work to produce marketable music for mainstream listeners, yet at the same time to maintain a necessary level of accountability to the music’s cultural origins. Often times these artists feel like they may have to assimilate into this white capitalist culture in order to adhere to their white, wealthy artist, along with the white recording labels they often must sign with in order to gain national fame and monetary success. This consciousness can lead many to feeling like “sell outs” for involving themselves with the culture and its people who continue to contribute and benefit from these artists’ racial oppression that ultimately led to the creation of this new genre of music and thus, hip hop
