Professor
G. Reginald Daniel, UC Santa Barbara, race and ethnic relations; comparative
and historical sociology, author of More than Black? Multiracial Identity and the New Racial
Order.
Professor Rachel F. Moran,
Berkeley Law School, a specialist in law, race, and identity; currently
at UC Irvine; author of Interracial Intimacy: The Regulation of Race and Romance.
Prof. Moran's works have been
targeted at dispelling the myth that because the US struck down
anti-miscegenation laws, all issues of inter-racial intimacy have been
resolved.
Professor Paul von Blum, UCLA; Paul Robeson expert and author of 6
books.
Drawing on the themes of
Otello and Show Boat for its inspiration, Oakland East Bay
Symphony is presenting this forum to explore race, ethnicity and social
relations as portrayed in music, and as reflected in the contemporary cultural
quilt of California.
