    OUR KIND OF PEOPLE: SOCIAL STATUS AND CLASS AWARENESS IN POST -RECONSTRUCTION AFRICAN AMERICAN FICTION Andreá N. Williams A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English Chapel Hill 2006 Approved by Advisor: William L. Andrews Reader: James W. Coleman Reader: Philip F. Gura Reader: Trudier Harris Reader: Jane F. Thrailkill © 2006 Andreá N. Williams ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT ANDREÁ N. WILLIAMS: Our Kind of People: Social Status and Class Awareness in Post -Reconstruction African American Fiction (Under the dir ection of William L. Andrews) Postbellum African American fiction provides an index to the complex attitudes toward social status and class divisions that arose within post -Civil War black communities. As I argue, African American narratives in the last quarter of the nineteenth century encode the discourse of class in discussions of respectability, labor, and discrimination. Conceiving of class as a concept that does not necessarily denote economic conditions, both well -known and largely ignored narrativ es of the period emphasize moral and ideological parameters for judging social distinctions. Writers theorize whether intraracial class stratification thwarts black sociopolitical advancement, fracturing black communities from within, or conversely, foster s racial uplift led by the black “better class.” Though the fiction variably delineates social classes, each of the texts under study in Our Kind of People imagines classification as an inevitable and useful means of reforming the turn -of-the-century Ameri can social order. Subverting the class disparity spurred by Gilded Age materialism, Frances E.

  • The Nineteenth Amendment and the Democratization of the Family Reva B

    The Nineteenth Amendment and the Democratization of the Family Reva B

    THE YALE LAW JOURNAL FORUM JANUARY 20, 2020 The Nineteenth Amendment and the Democratization of the Family Reva B. Siegel abstract. This Essay recovers debates over the family connecting the Reconstruction Amendments and the Nineteenth Amendment, and considers how this lost history can guide the Constitution’s interpretation, in courts and in politics. A woman’s claim to vote contested a man’s prerogative to represent his wife and daughters, and so was a claim for democratization of the family. Suffragists argued that women needed the vote to change the ways that law structuring the family governed their lives. They argued that law should recognize women’s right to voluntary motherhood and to be remunerated equally with men for work performed inside and outside the household. Suffragists sought to create a world in which adult members of the household could be recognized and participate in democratic life as equals. And they debated how to realize these goals when women faced different and intersectional forms of discrimination. Claims for democratic reconstruction of the family that began in the quest for 450 the nineteenth amendment and the democratization of the family the vote continued in the immediate aftermath of the Nineteenth Amendment’s ratification and in 1970 during its half-century anniversary, and continue today in the era of its centennial. Courts can draw on this history and interpret the Amendments synthetically. For example, judges can integrate the history of suffrage struggle into the equal-protection framework of United States v. Virginia. The Essay shows how an historical and intersectional understanding of suffrage struggle could change the way courts approach cases concerning the regulation of pregnancy, con- traception, sexual violence, and federalism.

    Black Feminist Thought

    Praise for the first edition of Black Feminist Thought “The book argues convincingly that black feminists be given, in the words immor- talized by Aretha Franklin, a little more R-E-S-P-E-C-T....Those with an appetite for scholarese will find the book delicious.” —Black Enterprise “With the publication of Black Feminist Thought, black feminism has moved to a new level. Collins’ work sets a standard for the discussion of black women’s lives, experiences, and thought that demands rigorous attention to the complexity of these experiences and an exploration of a multiplicity of responses.” —Women’s Review of Books “Patricia Hill Collins’ new work [is] a marvelous and engaging account of the social construction of black feminist thought. Historically grounded, making excellent use of oral history, interviews, music, poetry, fiction, and scholarly literature, Hill pro- poses to illuminate black women’s standpoint. .Those already familiar with black women’s history and literature will find this book a rich and satisfying analysis. Those who are not well acquainted with this body of work will find Collins’ book an accessible and absorbing first encounter with excerpts from many works, inviting fuller engagement. As an overview, this book would make an excellent text in women’s studies, ethnic studies, and African-American studies courses, especially at the upper-division and graduate levels. As a meditation on the deeper implications of feminist epistemology and sociological practice, Patricia Hill Collins has given us a particular gift.” —Signs “Patricia Hill Collins has done the impossible. She has written a book on black feminist thought that combines the theory with the most immediate in feminist practice.

Our first issue of upRising was met with positive reviews. Among the most meaningful comments were friends and family realizing what it is we do at the Clayman Institute: “So, that’s what gender research is,” they said. Gender research, and perhaps all research from the academy, can seem out of Lori Nishiura Mackenzie touch with what happens in our everyday lives. Yet what I have learned from my years at the Institute, is that within these studies lie answers to many of the issues, questions, and confounding occurrences that act as hurdles in our day-to-day lives. What we continue to discover in research are solutions and fresh ideas for the new millennium. One of the most important goals of our program at the Clayman Institute is to translate research. By making studies accessible and highlighting gender analysis, more people benefit from the thought-provoking insights produced at this institution. Within these pages we attempt to present ideas that can lead to a more equal society. upRising offers the very best of those ideas. Reader feedback helped us identify the most intriguing articles of the year—those stories with the most comments, repostings or views online.

    Voices of Democracy 1 (2006): 43‐57 Logan 43 FRANCES E. W. HARPER, "WOMAN'S POLITICAL FUTURE" (20 MAY 1893) Shirley Wilson Logan University of Maryland Abstract: Frances Harper's speech "Woman's Political Future" demonstrates that as a black woman speaking to white women during a decade known as the lowest point in the history of the African American experience, Harper established community with her audience by reminding them that they shared common values and an interest in the protection of civil rights. Harper's speech models a rhetoric for establishing common ground to serve as a starting point for productive civic engagement. Key Words: Frances E. W. Harper, Suffrage, Lynching, Value Hierarchies, Women's Influence Frances Harper delivered the address "Woman's Political Future" at the 1893 World's Columbian Exhibition in Chicago, during the World's Congress of Representative Women. Meeting from May 15 to 21, it was the first in a series of congresses held in conjunction with the Exhibition and featured the progress of women. Preparations for the Exhibition itself generated a flurry of activity across the country. An international event, the Exhibition was to display to the world, within the pavilions of the "White City," the best that America had produced at the turn‐of‐the‐century. The Exhibition, which President Grover Cleveland officially opened on May 1, ran through October, also celebrated the four‐hundredth anniversary of Columbus's arrival in the Americas. At the same time, the last decade of the nineteenth‐century was developing into what has come to be called the nadir or lowest point in postbellum African American history, with an oppressive climate of national racial hostility.
