Self Reliance

Every human being is beautiful with his own colour and appearance. No colour makes one beautiful but the white people of America have propagated the idea of white beauty as a tool of their politics to show themselves superior to the blacks. They focused on the colour because to be white for a black is unattainable as it is biological. They also tried to create self-hatred among the blacks by spreading the white ideology. They hegemonized the blacks to accept the concept of white beauty by using advertisements, media, actors and education. They also forced the blacks to be considered as ugly creating the least opportunities in the work places for the black community of America; alienating them from the society and torturing them both mentally and physically. As in The Bluest Eye, Pecola and her family are the worst victims of white men’s politics. Pecola together with her family members is both mentally and physically tortured and tormented to accept the white ideology. However, Pecola and her mother have accepted the white ideology and Pecola has mostly desired to get the bluest eye. On the other hand, Claudia resisted against the white men and their ideology. At the end, Pecola has accepted the baby of Cholly Breedlove as a token of love and self-reliance and both Claudia and Frieda wish to have the safe delivery of it. Therefore, in this article I would like to show that how the white men employed their evil intention of using the colour for dominating the blacks in America as a part of power politics, and also show black people’s reaction toward the white ideology with reference to The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison.

Different Types

Due to the color of their skins, Blacks were always subject to different types of disrespect and insecurity in their society. Among different groups of people, writers and critics knew it as their responsibility to act as Black people’s voice and talk on behalf of them, as these people were labeled as ‘The Other’ by the Whites. Du Bios created a kind of new trend of dealing with African-American culture by innovating the concept known as “double consciousness”, and arguing that these black people were trapped between dual personalities. As an American writer, Toni Morrison carried this specific burden upon her shoulders to reveal all those oppressions Blacks had to bear in their life, like what she depicted in the novel The Bluest Eyewith portrayal of the main black character Pecolla who is being blamed for the color of her skin. This article intends to elaborate some inherent postcolonial traces in Toni Morrison’s outstanding novel The Bluest Eye and examine how European power and white people were dominating the whole system of the society and what kind of regretful complications Blacks had to endure, and at the same time working on how Du Bois’s concept of double consciousness can be analyzed in black characters.

ABSTRACT We report the detection of [C ii] λ158 $\mu$m emission from a system of three closely separated sources in the Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS) field at z ∼ 4.56 , as part of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) Large Program to INvestigate C ii at Early times (ALPINE). The two most luminous sources are closely associated, both spatially (1.6 arcsec ∼ 11 kpc) and in velocity (∼100 km s−1), while the third source is slightly more distant (2.8 arcsec ∼ 18 kpc, ∼300 km s−1). The second most luminous source features a slight velocity gradient, while no significant velocity gradient is seen in the other two sources. Using the observed [C ii] luminosities, we derive a total log$_{10}(\rm SFR_{[C\,{\small II}]}\, [M_{\odot }\, yr^{-1}])=2.8\pm 0.2$, which may be split into contributions of 59, 31, and 10 per cent from the central, east, and west sources, respectively. Comparison of these [C ii] detections to recent zoom-in cosmological simulations suggests an ongoing major merger. We are thus witnessing a system in a major phase of mass build-up by merging, including an ongoing major merger and an upcoming minor merger, which is expected to end up in a single massive galaxy by z ∼ 2.5.

In this chapter, the author offers a reading of William Faulkner from his point of view of as a writer. He begins by discussing one of Faulkner's unique narrative techniques, “reticence,” and explaining that when he reads Faulkner's novels, he always puts the translations beside the originals, whenever they are available. He claims that he experiences Faulkner through a triangular circuit for the transmission of verbal symbols—Faulkner; the translator, who is a specialist; and himself, a reader of the words of the other two. He also reflects on his response to Faulkner's attitude toward writing novels and to his way of activating the imagination. Finally, he considers Faulkner's way of manipulating his male and female characters by focusing on his novels The Hamlet, The Mansion, The Wild Palms, and Absalom, Absalom!.

ABSTRACTMurataite –a complex actinide (An)- and rare earth element (REE)-bearing oxide with a cubic fluorite-related lattice – is one of the promising host-phases for immobilization of Pu-containing waste. The murataite phase composition corresponds to the empirical formula:A4B2C7O22-x, where the A-sites are occupied by Ca, Mn, REE, and An (U); B sites – by Mn, Ti,Zr, and An (U); and C sites – by Ti, Al, and Fe. The total amount of the actinides (U) and REE (Ce, Gd) in the murataite may exceed 20 wt%. In contrast to the other prospective hosts for actinide waste immobilization (cubic zirconia and pyrochlore), murataite accommodates higher amounts of corrosion products(Al, Fe) along with the actinides. The authors compared murataite-based ceramics having similar compositions and produced by melting in a high-temperature resistance furnace or via inductive melting in a cold crucible. Eight samples of the murataite-based ceramics were produced and investigated in detail. Murataite was found to be the major phase in four of the samples – with a basic composition, in wt%, of: 5.0 Al2O3, 10.0 CaO, 55.0 TiO2, 10.0 MnO, 5.0 Fe2O3, 5.0 ZrO2, and 10.0 UO2. These samples were produced by melting in a resistive furnace and in the cold crucible and included Gd-bearing samples and one Pu-bearing sample. The extra phases were other titanates: (from more to less typical) rutile, pyrochlore, zirconolite, crichtonite, pseudobrookite, and perovskite (in the Pu-doped samples only). Three varieties of the murataite, with 3-, 5-, and 8-fold fluorite-type lattices, were observed. Addition of uranium and rare earth oxides stabilizes pyrochlore as the major phase, whereas addition of zirconia yields zirconolite. Plutonium stabilizes the perovskite-type phase, probably due to the formation of Pu3+. The maximum waste oxide content in the murataite for the elements studied was found to be 10% ZrO2, 12% CeO2, 13% Gd2O3, and 14% UO2. Waste element partitioning among the murataite and all the other phases with similar fluorite-related structure (pyrochlore and zirconolite) was analyzed. The uranium leach rate for the sample with maximum murataite content was measured using a procedure similar to MCC-3. This leach rate was close to10-5 g/(m2*day) in a½-day test and decreased by more than one order of magnitude in 28-day tests. Investigation of the stability of the murataite structure after irradiation byheavy ions is in progress.
