And the result, was it not jazz? Is anyone going to say that this was a loss to the world or that those first Negro slaves who began to play around with discarded instruments of their masters should have played waltzes and foxtrots? No! Let every people bring their gifts to the great festival of the world’s cultural harvest and mankind will be all the richer for the variety and distinctiveness of the offerings.”<br/><br/>Chinua Achebe, essay “Colonialist Criticism”<br/><em>Hopes and Impediments: Selected Essays</em> <em>1965-1987</em> (Heinemann 1988)<br/><br/></p> </blockquote>http://topazbooks.tumblr.com/post/46148211224http://topazbooks.tumblr.com/post/46148211224Sun, 24 Mar 2013 05:21:24 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/7a243c860e50b357b31dccf4035c0103/tumblr_mjpc0ji7yd1qmb1vfo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Viral video vote: Snoring dog, playing with the piano man, more</p>http://topazbooks.tumblr.com/post/45415104531http://topazbooks.tumblr.com/post/45415104531Fri, 15 Mar 2013 08:29:06 -0400<a href="http://bermudaonion.net/2013/03/14/review-a-place-for-us/">Review: A Place for Us</a>http://topazbooks.tumblr.com/post/45333931262http://topazbooks.tumblr.com/post/45333931262Thu, 14 Mar 2013 04:20:43 -0400<a href="http://www.theworldgeography.com/2013/02/tree-tunnels.html">10 Famous Tree Tunnels</a>http://topazbooks.tumblr.com/post/44705449051http://topazbooks.tumblr.com/post/44705449051Wed, 06 Mar 2013 09:10:08 -0500Lines of beauty: British Library’s medieval manuscripts go digital - FT.com: The British Library...http://topazbooks.tumblr.com/post/44065001807http://topazbooks.tumblr.com/post/44065001807Tue, 26 Feb 2013 10:39:07 -0500I have reached a little over three hundred pages.
