Gloria Naylor's Mama Day
The effect of polylysine on the motility of outer hair cells and various muscle types was compared. Poly-L-lysine and its stereoisomer, poly-D-lysine, inhibited acoustically induced length changes of isolated outer hair cells from the guinea-pig hearing organ. The frequency specific displacements of the hearing organ in response to a tone stimulus are also inhibited to polylysine (Brundin et al. 1991). Poly-L-lysine, and its stereoisomer, irrever…

The essays variously illuminate the diffi culties and payoffs associated with narrating lives in-and of-porous…

In song and nonfi ctional narrative, they refl ect also on the ways that historical and structural violence shape the lives of Haitian m…
