78.4065 Cultural Sources of National Identity: Hermano Vianna's "The Mystery of Samba".
This is a book report on Herman Vianna's "The Mystery of Samba", a cultural anthropology study of music in Brazil, particularly the use of 'racially-mixed' culture as a symbol for all of Brazilian culture. The samba, Brazil's national dance/rhythm, was transported to the national spotlight in the 1920s, though its 'authentic, populist roots' are questioned by Vianna in his analysis of Gilberto Freyre's seminal Brazilian ethnographies, and his analysis of Brazilian culture in general. 5 pgs.

79.4073 Book Review: "Abraham Lincoln and a New Birth of Freedom: The Union an Slavery in the Diplomacy of the Civil War".
This 5-page piece is a book review of Abraham Lincoln and a New Birth of Freedom by Howard Jones. After giving an overview of the author's background, the writer of this piece then launches into an analysis of the book, giving its thesis, which is that Lincoln had to struggle with both domestic and foreign policy in the Civil War. The reviewer believes the book is a strong work, particularly in the way it focuses on foreign policy in order to demonstrate how Lincoln was forced to issue the Emancipation Proclamation not only to free the slaves but to prevent foreign intervention (by the French and British) on behalf of the South. The reviewer applauds Jones' treatment of this little-known aspect of the Civil War, which allows the work to be fresh and informative, providing new light on a topic which has been covered heavily by historians. 5 pgs.

82.4096 Western Civilization: The Prince.
This paper provides a detailed analysis of Machiavelli's 16th century treatise, The Prince. In this work, Machiavelli indicates the qualities of a great ruler, what kinds of military work best, and the most effective methods for keeping social order. Its main premise is that social order is kept when people are ruled with fear. As well, ruler might need to act with cruelty to ensure his authority, and qualities of virtue are best used as a social appearance but not in maintaining his position as ruler. 5 pgs.

83.4099 An Analysis of "Uncle Tom's Cabin".
Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel, "Uncle Tom's Cabin" represents a social-protest novel, where the author's composition was specifically aimed at representing the barbarism of slavery, and in portraying black people as human beings, with families, Christian faith, and emotional relationships. While by today's standards, these appear as racist presumptions, Stowe was writing at a time when white people did not regard black people as human beings, but as property. This essay considers the ways racism and feminism are parts of Stowe's writing in her appeal to white Christian women to stand up against racism. 4 pgs. Bibliography lists 1 source.

This paper reports on the book "Truth a history and a guide for the perplexed" by Felipe Fernandez-Armesto (1999). Taking into account a primary question of "What is truth?" this essay relies upon Fernandez-Armesto's text as the source for considering the questions of truth. These refer to the implications of universal Truth and relative truths; that is, singular Truth that can be applied for every human being, and a multitude of truths that can be considered in relation to every human being's difference in culture, language, history, and social structures. 6 pgs.
