I cited these because they stood out to me. Rankine was difficult to find sources in which she talked about different racist to relate it back to Humans of New York. Brandon author of Humans of New York captured every race in New York and told their story, i wanted to see how Rankine in Citizen or even as an author handled in race. I also looked at other authors who captured citizens in a book, i want to know why they capture humans in pictures. I looked at what social media does in this social age.

Booth, W. James. “The Color of Memory.” Political Theory, vol. 36, no. 5, 2008, pp. 683–707., doi:10.1177/0090591708321034.

This one I found going directly to JSTOR (Which at first I was weary of due to the time frame limitations), and searching key words along with it such as “color” in quotations.

 

Bowser, Rachel A. “Visibility, Interiority, and Temporality in The Invisible Man.” Studies in the Novel, vol. 45, no. 1, 2013, pp. 20–36., doi:10.1353/sdn.2013.0003.

This one was found using the technique the librarian gave us, by using the Hunter College database, going under the subject of English, then utilizing the “Gale” database.

 

Hardin, Michael. “Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man : Invisibility, Race, and Homoeroticism from Frederick Douglass to E. Lynn Harris.” The Southern Literary Journal, vol. 37, no. 1, 2004, pp. 96–120., doi:10.1353/slj.2005.0007.

This one as well was under the Gale database but instead, I specified the search criteria in order to create different results.

 

No Title

No Description

This one was found using google scholar.

some tips on the annotated bibliography step

I just wanted to reflect briefly on your “simple bibliographies” and include some tips for the next stage. I was really pleased with the work you did, collectively, and wanted to call attention to a few exemplary bibliographies that shine a light on different aspects of the craft of research:

  • Saida‘s has a great discussion of the way her topic mutated as she went digging for materials. There’s kind of an art to keeping one’s mind open while searching/reading, looking for ways to refine or revise the direction of the topic or argument, and Saida pulls that off here nicely.
  • Dora’s uses a range of different databases and gives a nuanced description of her search strategy.
  • Adriana starts with a suitably “weird” topic–the role of food and eating in TBE–that requires some out-of-the-box searches and sources. So if you are also plowing new ground, she gives a good example of how to proceed.

Pro tip: steal each other’s stuff! Of course I don’t mean this in the sense of plagiarism as you start to actually write, but recognize that research can be collaborative (and should be). Stand on the shoulders of those who have dug in the same or nearby fields! Many of you are working on, say, incest in Ellison and/or Morrison. So in addition to doing searches, comb through the blog posts of peers and see who found something useful that you didn’t find! We scholars who do this for a living do this all the time…
