THE VODOU PRIESTESS: MAMA LOLA I found Karen McCarthy Brown’s Mama Lola to be an innovative and intimate “ethnographic spiritual biography” exploring the lived realities‚ material and immaterial‚ of a Haitian Voudou priestess and her family in New York City from the late 1970’s through the 1980’s.

Brown heeds her own advice and contrary to most ethnographic scholars before her‚ appropriately represents her own

The entire structure of Mama Day is fitting to the telling of multiple love stories entertwined. Like the most heartfelt episode of Seinfeld ever Gloria Naylor doesn’t tell a love story‚ but rather lays out in detail the events of everyday life for all of the central characters. In the process the love stories of the characters are all told at once. The most obvious example is the relationship between George and Cocoa (arguably the main love story). Through the book we see them meet‚ fall

exquisitely detailed film directed by George Stevens I Remember Mama tells of a Norwegian family living in San Francisco during the beginning of this century. It is an old classical movie‚ based on Kathryn Forbes’ novel titled Mama’s Bank Account. The film is rendered and it is a moving act of memory about how an immigrant family copes with poverty and how they try to overcome the odds of living in a foreign country. I could identify with almost every scene in the movie and not because of the era

Papa Jo was a great man. It’s been almost five years since he passed away‚ but he will forever live in my heart. A few days ago as I organized my room‚ I came across a photo album‚ and I started browsing through the old pages. Every photo had a memory behind it‚ birthday parties‚ vacations‚ Christmas‚ etc. There was one picture though‚ in the left corner of page number 5‚ that caught my attention immediately. It was Papa Jo‚ Eddy and me‚ at the old farm. The polaroid photograph spoke for itself

mythology – in other words‚ what is this law’s mythistory? Then examine the place of this lwa within Mama Lola’s religious practice: what role does it play in her life? How does she relate to and serve this lwa? Has the role of the lwa changed in her experience over time‚ and if so‚ how? The lwa Ezili is a complex figure‚ many female sprits are grouped under the term Ezili. However in “Mama Lola” Karen McCarthy Brown discusses three of these female sprits as being the most significant‚ they

Abstract This experiment investigated the kinetics of the enzyme glycogen phosphorylase b which is important to metabolism. AMP is an allosteric activator of the enzyme because it converts glycogen phosphorylase b from its T state to the R state which is the active form. Caffeine is an inhibitor because it binds the nucleoside inhibitor site. When it binds this site‚ it stabilizes the inactive T state and blocks the catalytic site which needs to be open for enzyme activity to occur. The glycogen
