	Powell's Books - Contributions in Afro-American & African Studies #205: Critical Essays on Bessie Head by Rosemary Fithian Guruswamy
		Through narrative and rhetorical strategies that subvert genre and challenge the discourse of race and gender, black South African woman writer Bessie Head creates alternative healing spaces that empower and ennoble the marginalized, provide potential for transcendence and self-creation, and render ineffective the power of language to subjugate.
		Scholars of English literature examine the work of Head (1937- 86), whose fictional and autobiographical writings were shaped by her exile from South African apartheid.
		Among the topics are agriculture and healing, writing after the end of romance, reclaiming language through the permanent revolution of language, and the didactic judgement of a women writer.

	HISTORY: Myth and Memory - Endpiece
		These events took place in the racially divided South Africa of the late 1930s and Bessie Head’s subsequent achievements as a writer are generally seen as being connected with her need to understand and accept them.
		But Bessie Head’s golden brown skin was all her own: a living reminder of the need for compromise and her efforts to shape a future of ‘dignity and compassion’ for her country.
		When she died in 1986, all that Bessie Head knew about her roots was that her mother (who was white), returning to her family home after an unsuccessful marriage, became pregnant by a stable hand (who was black) and produced a girl child whom she named after herself.

		My very first film script in Dallas in 1954 was a half-hour pilot for a proposed TV series on juvenile delinquency which starred a teenage Stockton Briggle, who subsequently went on with his career which led him to his present-day position in Hollywood as head of his own production company.

	The Creative Vision of Bessie Head (FDU Press)
		Simultaneously harsh realist and utopian dreamer, resistant and reactionary, Head (1937-86) may more fully embody the contradictions of South Africa under Apartheid than any other writer of her time.
		Using both Head's published work and the thousands of pages of letters and unpublished materials preserved in Botswana (where Head lived out her life of self-imposed exile), Brown intuits her way toward critical empathy, sidestepping postmodern theories (post-coloniality, feminism) in favor of the older, more metaphysical "archetypal" models of Jung and Northrop Frye.
		Faced with a small and difficult body of published works--an output limited by both the poignant and brevity of Head's life and her recurring episodes of mental disintegration--readers have typically sought an elusive critical or theoretical distance.

		The majority of the album does have well-constructed, head-nodding beats that become a soundtrack for the Capital D's audio movie.
		The only things that drag the album down are his preachy attitudes and his monotone voice.

	Where Propheads Come From - The Web Developer's Journal
		Just like to put in an aside to your exegesis on the origin of "prop head." The use of propeller beanies as specific to science fiction fans was taken up by Ray Nelson, a writer, cartoonist and fan, who used the imagery in his cartoons for many years, adding a sardonic flavor to the idea.
		Many of the people printing Ray Nelson cartoons in their fanzines grew up to be the writers, editors and publishers of science fiction; still more became the quintessential geeks of the burgeoning computer industry, and adopted the mocking self-description.
		There, that's more than you wanted to know about prop heads, propeller beanies, and the early years of science fiction fandom.
