This project is motivated by our understanding that black immigrants—from the Caribbean migrations of the late 19th and early 20th century to the Caribbean, Latin American, and African immigrations since OBJECTIVES 1965—have exercised a profound influence on the making of African America, yet have received insufficient attention.

    Political History women and politics, 1920<n->70 1 Dorothy Sue Cobble, “Women and Politics, 1920-1970,” in Princeton Encyclopedia of U.S. Political History, edited by Michael Kazin (Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2009). On August 26, 1970, thousands of women in cities across the country thronged the streets in celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the ratification of the suffrage amendment, the Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which granted women the right to vote. The Women’s Strike for Equality march, one of the largest demonstrations for women’s rights in U.S. history, represented a new era in the history of women’s reform in which long-standing assumptions about men and women would crumble and institutions, laws, and policies would be redesigned to reflect a new gender order. The 1920 passage of the Nineteenth Amendment also marked a turning point in women’s history, although voting rights for African American women in the southern states would not be secured until the 1965 Voting Rights Act ended almost a century of black male and female disenfranchisement in that region. <A>Women’s Political Power in the Wake of the Nineteenth Amendment Winning the constitutional right to vote for the vast majority of American women was a milestone in the history of women’s political citizenship. Yet women voted in several states before 1920, when full political rights for women, including equal access to officeholding and representation in the two major political parties and in government, were far from secure. The first woman in the U.S.

Oestreich August, 2011 Doctoral Advisory Committee Members: Bettye Collier-Thomas, Committee Chair, Department of History Kenneth Kusmer, Department of History Michael Alexander, Department of Religious Studies, University of California, Riverside Annelise Orleck, Department of History, Dartmouth College ABSTRACT “They Saw Themselves as Workers” explores the development of black membership in the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union (ILGWU) in the wake of the “Uprising of the 30,000” garment strike of 1933-34, as well as the establishment of independent black labor or labor-related organizations during the mid-late 1930s. The locus for the growth of black ILGWU membership was Harlem, where there were branches of Local 22, one of the largest and the most diverse ILGWU local. Harlem was also where the Negro Labor Committee (NLC) was established by Frank Crosswaith, a leading black socialist and ILGWU organizer. I provide some background, but concentrate on the aftermath of the marked increase in black membership in the ILGWU during the 1933-34 garment uprising and end in 1940, when blacks confirmed their support of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and when the labor-oriented National Negro Congress (NNC) was irrevocably split by struggles over communist influence. By that time, the NLC was also struggling, due to both a lack of support from trade unions and friendly organizations, as well as the fact that the Committee was constrained by the political views and personal grudges of its founder.

  • Black Feminism on Capitol Hill: Shirley Chisholm and Movement Politics, 1968–1984
    Anastasia Curwood Black Feminism on Capitol Hill: Shirley Chisholm and Movement Politics, 1968–1984 Abstract Shirley Chisholm (1924–2005) conducted a long political career in the service of black feminist ideas. Her 1972 run for President is the most famous of her efforts, but she also served fourteen years in Congress (1969–1983), serving Brooklyn, New York. As a holder of national elected office at the same time that black feminists were institutionalizing their activism into organizations, Chisholm bridged grassroots and local activism with the national state. She also bridged the ongoing black freedom struggle and women’s movements, though not without complication and controversy. This essay uses Chisholm’s writings and speeches, as well as government documents, newspaper archives, and interviews to demonstrate Chisholm’s dual engagement with the antiracist and antifeminist movements of her time within the context of legislative politics. At the time of her election to the United States Congress in 1968, Shirley Chisholm (1924–2005) was the first black woman in the House of Repre- sentatives and the first black woman to win a national elected office. Although she is most famous for being the first black person and first woman to run for a major-party nomination for United States President (in 1972), this litany of firsts at times obscures her larger political and intellec- tual significance. Most notably, Chisholm’s black feminism exercised a profound influence on her political interests, and she was unique among [Meridians: feminism, race, transnationalism 2014, vol. 13, no. 1, pp. 204–232] © 2014 by Smith College.

    Project MUSE - Race, Gender, and Anticommunism in the International Labor Movement: The Pan-African Connections of Maida Springer 1/17/19, 626 AM Journal of Women's History Journal of Women's History Volume 11, Number 2, Summer 1999 Johns Hopkins University Press Article Viewed | Save View Citation Additional Information Race, Gender, and Anticommunism in the International Labor Movement: The Pan-African Connections of Maida Springer Abstract Maida Springer’s reminiscence and the documentation concerning her activism provide insight into communist and anticommunist struggles within the United States and international labor movements. Her presence at the center of struggles of African labor movements during the 1950s and 1960s calls for a more complex view of the activism of the American Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) in Africa and of the federation’s conflicts with the European labor centers belonging to the noncommunist International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU). This article traces the little-known story of Springer’s influence on African labor and AFL-CIO policy, and explores the ways in which her race, gender, class, and nationality mediated her activism. http://muse.jhu.edu/article/17263#info_wrap Page 1 of 28 Project MUSE - Race, Gender, and Anticommunism in the International Labor Movement: The Pan-African Connections of Maida Springer 1/17/19, 626 AM A 1963 New York Times article celebrating the American Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) international struggle against communism and colonialism mentioned the 1957 American Trade Union Scholarship Program for Africans and the AFL-CIO role in supervising Kenya’s Institute of Tailoring and Cutting.

  • Introduction
    Notes Introduction 1 . José Martí, “Our America,” in José Martí: Selected Writings, ed. Esther Allen and Roberto González Echevarría (New York: Penguin Books, 2002), 295. 2 . Regarding empire, Sinha emphasizes the importance of framing female agency as the “outcome of specific struggles in history” rather than measuring women’s ideas and actions according to past or contemporary theories or foundationalisms. Mrinalini Sinha, “Mapping the Imperial Social Formation: A Modest Proposal for Feminist History” Signs 25 (Summer 2000) 4: 1077–1082. Julian Go refers to a “global inter-imperial field” in “Crossing Empires: Anti-Imperialism in the US Territories” (paper presented at American Anti-imperialism since 1776 Conference, Oxford University, England, April 29–30, 2011, cited with author’s permission). Paul A. Kramer, “Race, Empire and Transnational History,” in Colonial Crucible: Empire in the Making of the Modern American State , ed. Alfred W. McCory and Francisco A. Scarano (Madison: University of Wisconsin Press, 2009), 199–209, emphasizes a dynamic distinct from the one I focus on: “Not simply that dif- ference made empire possible; empire remade difference in the process” (200). On white supremacy, see Marilyn Lake and Henry Reynolds, Drawing the Global Colour Line: White Men’s Countries and the International Challenge of Racial Equality (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2008). 3 . In this extensive literature, most influential on my thinking have been Antoinette M. Burton, Burdens of History: British Feminists, Indian Women, and Imperial Culture, 1865–1915 (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 1994); Kevin K.
