All rights reserved. 300 N. Zeeb Rd. Ann Arbor, MI48106 DECOLONIZATION, DEMOCRACY AND AFRICAJ.l\J AMERICAN LIBERATION: A CALL FOR NATIONALIST POLITICS A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAIl IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN POLITICAL SCIENCE DECEMBER 1994 By Akinlabi Dia Bayette Dissertation Committee: Farideh Farhi, Chairperson Miles M. Jackson Kathy E. Ferguson Oliver W. Lee Kathryn W. B. Takara © Copyright 1994 By Akinlabi Dia Bayette iii Abstract Fifty years ago Dr. DuBois, on the urgings of the U.S. Federal government, participated in several cultural and scholarly conferences in Haiti where he gave a series of four speeches on the topic of colonies and peace. In a speech entitled Colonialism. Democracy. and Peace After the War, given in the summer of 1944, DuBois extended the definition of colonialism to include those nations, or groups of people, who would have most, if not all of the structural features of classical colonialism, but because ofspecial circumstances, could not be defined as colonies in the 'pure' sense of the term as it was understood and used then. DuBois would use the term semi-colonialism, i.e., semi-colonies to describe this 'special relationship. ' In this speech, DuBois would include the African American people. In doing so, DuBois would repeat a charge that had been previously made by Gov. Arnall of Georgia, who described the structural relationship between African and Euroamericans as a colonial arrangement. It would be another eighteen years before the 'internal colonialism' paradigm would appear in another scholarly work to describe the African American experience. This time Dr. Harold Cruse would make the reference in an article entitled, "Revolutionary Nationlism and the Afro-American." IV Throughout the late 1960s and early 1970s many African Americans and other American scholars would use this paradigm to explain the African American 'condition;' (J.H. O'Dell, Robert Staples, Robert Blauner, William K. Tabb, Tom Hayden, C.l. Munford, lames Turner). But in the 1980s, with the exception of Dr. Robert Allen's book, Black Awakening in Capitalist America, this model would 'disappear' from the scholarly scene without being fully developed or its interpretative potential being fully exploited. During its academic 'heyday' this hermeneutical paradigm would be utilized to explain various aspects of the African American 'condition.' While it was widely used by many scholars, it was narrowly applied. Most, if not all, of the early domestic colonial theorists concentrated on the limited structural aspects of the model and, therefore, over simplified its paradigmatic appropriateness to the detriment of African American emancipation. I will extend the limited works of early 'internal colonialist' theorists and, by utilizing the classical colonialism analogy methodology, will seek to establish and prove that there are other endemic areas of correlation between African Americans and other colonized people; thereby, justifying the use of this model and the claim that African Americans are a colonized people. My thesis is a simple one. If African Americans are colonized, then one should find a correlation between 'classical' colonial theory and the African American condition. I will expect to find corollaries between the African v American condition and other colonial situations such as segregated housing, language discrimination, the use of the military/police as dehumanizers, intimidators; structural racism as a component of the social makeup, socioeconomics as a negative determinate of African American psychology, the rise of African American nationalism, etc. If I find evidence of these and other corollaries, then I will attempt to develop a strategy of dcolonization applicable to our 'condition' within the context of the American liberal democratic colonial society. Thus, the title of my dissertation, Decolonization, Democracy and African American Liberation: A Call for Nationalist Politics.

  • JP 3-06, Joint Urban Operations
    Joint Publication 3-06 Joint Urban Operations 08 November 2009 PREFACE 1. Scope This publication provides joint doctrine for the planning, execution, and assessment of joint operations in an urban environment and explains how they differ from operations undertaken in other environments. 2. Purpose This publication has been prepared under the direction of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It sets forth joint doctrine to govern the activities and performance of the Armed Forces of the United States in joint operations and provides the doctrinal basis for interagency coordination and for US military involvement in multinational operations. It provides military guidance for the exercise of authority by combatant commanders and other joint force commanders (JFCs) and prescribes joint doctrine for operations, education, and training. It provides military guidance for use by the Armed Forces in preparing their appropriate plans. It is not the intent of this publication to restrict the authority of the JFC from organizing the force and executing the mission in a manner the JFC deems most appropriate to ensure unity of effort in the accomplishment of the overall objective. 3. Application a. Joint doctrine established in this publication applies to the Joint Staff, commanders of combatant commands, subunified commands, joint task forces, subordinate components of these commands, and the Services. b. The guidance in this publication is authoritative; as such, this doctrine will be followed except when, in the judgment of the commander, exceptional circumstances dictate otherwise. If conflicts arise between the contents of this publication and the contents of Service publications, this publication will take precedence unless the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, normally in coordination with the other members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has provided more current and specific guidance.

  • Kill All Normies: Online Culture Wars from 4Chan and Tumblr to Trump
    What people are saying about Kill All Normies Amidst the chaos of our times, it is a relief to have a brilliant and fearless critic like Angela Nagle to turn to. Unwilling to stomach the liberal shibboleths that fail to adequately explain the emergence and significance of right-wing subculture, she’s the only one willing to descend into the grimiest of Internet grottos and give us the benefit of her incisive and cool-headed analysis. (And thank god too, because I’m sure as hell not doing it.) Amber A’Lee Frost, Chapo Trap House Angela Nagle is one of the few writers anywhere who has consistently refused to hold a double standard for virulent racism and misogyny even when it came in edgy countercultural packaging. Kill All Normies is a brilliant exposé of the new faces of online nihilism and fascism, which can no longer be explained away as doing it “for the lulz”. David Golumbia, Author of The Politics of Bitcoin: Software as Right- Wing Extremism With a liberal left dangerously lost in the stormy waters of middle class self-flagellation, Angela Nagle is the lighthouse keeper showing us the way out. Her writing is unsparing in its diagnosis but never cruel. Unlike much of the Left who’ve grown far too accustomed to marginalization and defeat, Nagle still believes in politics as the only way of changing an increasingly brutal world. She is the writer and social critic I’ve been waiting for.
