    ABSTRACT Title of dissertation: SLAVE SHIPS, SHAMROCKS, AND SHACKLES: TRANSATLANTIC CONNECTIONS IN BLACK AMERICAN AND NORTHERN IRISH WOMEN’S REVOLUTIONARY AUTO/BIOGRAPHICAL WRITING, 1960S-1990S Amy L. Washburn, Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Dissertation directed by: Professor Deborah S. Rosenfelt Department of Women’s Studies This dissertation explores revolutionary women’s contributions to the anti-colonial civil rights movements of the United States and Northern Ireland from the late 1960s to the late 1990s. I connect the work of Black American and Northern Irish revolutionary women leaders/writers involved in the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), Black Panther Party (BPP), Black Liberation Army (BLA), the Republic for New Afrika (RNA), the Soledad Brothers’ Defense Committee, the Communist Party- USA (Che Lumumba Club), the Jericho Movement, People’s Democracy (PD), the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association (NICRA), the Irish Republican Socialist Party (IRSP), the National H-Block/ Armagh Committee, the Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA), Women Against Imperialism (WAI), and/or Sinn Féin (SF), among others by examining their leadership roles, individual voices, and cultural productions. This project analyses political communiqués/ petitions, news coverage, prison files, personal letters, poetry and short prose, and memoirs of revolutionary Black American and Northern Irish women, all of whom were targeted, arrested, and imprisoned for their political activities. I highlight the personal correspondence, auto/biographical narratives, and poetry of the following key leaders/writers: Angela Y. Davis and Bernadette Devlin McAliskey; Assata Shakur and Margaretta D’Arcy; Ericka Huggins and Roseleen Walsh; Afeni Shakur-Davis, Joan Bird, Safiya Bukhari, and Martina Anderson, Ella O’Dwyer, and Mairéad Farrell.

AT WORK IN THE MARKETPLACE OF IDEAS: ACADEMIC FREEDOM, THE FIRST AMENDMENT, AND JEFFRIES v. HARLESTON STEPHEN A. NEWMAN* INTRODUCTION Anyone attempting to justify action against a professor based upon his or her speech must overcome the salutary barriers that principles of free speech and academic freedom erect to protect speech in the university. The case of Jeffries v. Harleston' presents a valuable opportunity to examine the scope and limits of these principles in the context of racist and anti-Semitic speech by a faculty member serving as a department chairman. Although the Jeffries litigation was extensive, involving a jury trial, two federal appellate court opinions, and two appeals to the U.S. Supreme Court, the judicial resolution of the case left important questions unanswered. The judges paid little attention to the issue of academic freedom, despite its importance to the nation's academic community. The vital question of what harms colleges and universities may suffer from faculty speech, and which of those harms they may properly sanction, was obscured by a jury finding that there was potential, but not actual, harm from Jeffries' speech.2 As is usual with jury verdicts, the jury's findings were stated in conclusory fashion, with the reasons for its findings unexplained.

  • I:\2016==GR Sharma Formating Jo
    Journal of Criminal Justice and Law Review Vol. 5 • Nos. 1­2 • January­December 2016 Racial slavery, that “peculiar institution” of the American South, has proven to be one of the United States’ most enduring. In the immediate aftermath of the Civil War, it was repackaged and re-articulated as a convict underclass. The justification for the marginalization of that convict underclass, a group I refer to as the “criminal caste,” was often articulated in the same terms that had been used to justify racial slavery, a pattern that reflected an underlying commitment to white supremacy. The purpose of this article is to examine the role of historical white supremacy, articulated through colorism and the systematic denigration of blackness, in the construction of a criminal caste in New Orleans. As historian Adam Rothman observed, the Americans who moved west from Virginia and the Carolinas to settle the fertile lands of the Lower Mississippi River Valley, took their values with them as they sought to transmute the wild frontier of Louisiana into “slave country” (Rothman, 2007). Central to those values was a racialized caste system that stipulated black bondage as a necessary counterpoint to white liberty. The internal logic of that caste system demanded that where whiteness signified privilege, blackness necessarily signified subordination; where whiteness signified virtue, blackness signified degeneracy and brutishness. Where whites signified, as a group, the American citizenry, blacks (and non-white people, more generally) signified subjects of the American state, separate from the body politic and unfit for citizenship. This sensibility was, in fact, articulated explicitly by Chief Justice Roger B.

  • Ending the Slavery Blame-Game,” Published in the New York Times, April 23, 2010 by Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr
    Setting the Record Straight A Response to Henry Louis Gates, Jr. We, the undersigned, take strong exception to the Op-Ed, “Ending the Slavery Blame-Game,” published in the New York Times, April 23, 2010 by Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. There are gross errors, inaccuracies and misrepresentations in Gates’ presentation of the transatlantic European enslavement system. Moreover, we are duly concerned about his political motivations and find offensive his use of the term “blame game.” It trivializes one of the most heinous crimes against humanity—the European enslavement of African people. Gates contradicts his stated purpose of “ending” what he refers to as a “blame-game,” by erroneously making African rulers and elites equally responsible with European and American enslavers. He shifts the “blame” in a clear attempt to undermine the demand for reparations. The African Holocaust or Maafa, as it is referred to by many, is a crime against humanity and is recognized as such by the United Nations, scholars, and historians who have documented the primary and overwhelming culpability of European nations for enslavement in Europe, in the Americas and elsewhere. In spite of this overwhelming documentation, Gates inexplicably shifts the burden of culpability to Africans who were and are its victims. The abundance of scholarly work also affirms that Europeans initiated the process, established the global infrastructure for enslavement, and imposed, financed and defended it, and were the primary beneficiaries of it in various ways through human trafficking itself, banking, insurance, manufacturing, farming, shipping and allied enterprises. No serious scholar of African history or reparations activist denies the collaboration of some African rulers, elites, merchants and middlemen.
