Falcón Invitation to the Scholarly Community 215 Editor’s Note | vii Editor’s Note Through sheer courage and incredible grit this wonderful new volume of the National Political Science Review has been produced. Comprising vitally important research on the intersection of forms of racial blackness, political coalitions, ethnic and pan-ethnic interest politics, solidarity politics, and group consciousness, on the one hand, and regional, organizational, and youth politics framings of new research on political economy and economic justice, on the other, the scholars herein offer contributions to the most critical questions of the day. This scholarship has much to say about the black freedom struggle and about the Trump Administration’s politics of racial-state making through the bodies of racialized immigrants, particularly Afro-Latinos/ Latinos, Asians, Black Ethnics, Afro-Caribbeans, and minoritized religious groups. Empirical data about political affiliations and interests can go a very long way in terms of advancing the struggle of people in this country to lay bare the short and long term effects of this particularly dangerous contemporary political realignment in the presidency. While communities that were vulnerable before face forms of state and vigilante violence and extremism that had been on the decline over the past two generations, the opportunities for mass movements and coordinated electoral campaigns have opened up significantly. Our book reviews offer a range of cutting edge new scholarship in the field on the historiography and political theory of emancipation, antiracist feminist activism in the United Nations, the politics of racial integration in military towns, the study of race as international

  • The Mortara Center for International Studies Walsh School of Foreign Service Georgetown University Annual Report 2017 - 2018 About the Center
    The Mortara Center for International Studies Walsh School of Foreign Service Georgetown University Annual Report 2017 - 2018 About the Center Officially opened in January 2003, the Mortara Center for International Studies was founded through the generosity of the late Mr. Michael P. Mortara, his wife, Mrs. Virginia Mortara, and friends and colleagues. The Mortara family envisioned a center of scholarly inquiry at the School of Foreign Service that would embody the mission of the School and its focus on the intersection of theory and practice in international affairs. Mission Statement The Mortara Center for International Studies seeks to advance schlarship and inform policy by combining the expertise of scholars and experience of international affairs practitioners to illuminate the fundamental forces - political, economic and cultural - that shape international relations. To realize this mission, the Center: • organizes and cosponsors lectures, workshops and conferences • provides support for research and publications • generates communities of research 1 LetterLetter fromfrom thethe DirectorDirector Dear Friends of the Mortara Center, Over the past year, the Mortara Center has con- tinued to promote and energize faculty and student research at the School of Foreign Service. Focusing on pressing global problems from climate change to financial crisis to mitigating violence in post-conflict states, the Center has hosted hundreds of events, con- vened working groups, and supported deep student mentorship experiences through the Mortara Under- graduate Research Fellowship program. For the 2017-2018 annual report, I would like to draw your attention to two exceptional programs, which exemplify the extraordinary work happening at Mortara and the School. The Center was honored to host the launch of the Mortara Distinguished Professor of Diplomacy Madeleine Albright’s book Fascism: A Warning.

Voting Rights as an American Nationalities Policy Pamela S. Karlant One of the salient characteristics of contemporary global politics is the disintegration of empires and multiethnic nation- states and the resurgence of separatism. The breakup of the Soviet Union, the breakdown of Yugoslavia, tribal warfare in Africa, and the emergence of separatist political parties in West- ern democracies such as Italy and Canada occupy the political foreground. One of the urgent questions of political structure is how multiethnic nations respond to these nationalist and sepa- ratist impulses. My argument in this Article is that the voting-rights system is a key element in the American response. I begin by describing how the Voting Rights Act and much of its case law use a vocab- ulary that draws sharp ethnic and territorial distinctions. Not only does voting-rights law use the language of separation, it also employs an apparently separatist practice of allocating voters among territorially defined voting districts.

  • Tracing the Arc: Representations of Slave Children in Twentieth
    TRACING THE ARC: REPRESENTATIONS OF SLAVE CHILDREN IN TWENTIETH- CENTURY AMERICAN HISTORIES AND FICTIONS by JESSIE LAFRANCE DUNBAR (Under the Direction of Barbara McCaskill) ABSTRACT My thesis will trace the literary and historical depictions of slave children, beginning with twentieth-century monographs on slavery and the oral and written slave narratives that historians have utilized in their research. By analyzing varied portrayals of slave children in historical studies, I will explain the flaws in early work by White scholars and trace the responses of African American scholars such as Willie Lee Rose, John Blassingame, and Herbert Gutman. I will execute close readings of two contemporary novels that feature slave children as prominent characters: Ernest Gaines’s Miss Jane Pittman (1971) and Toni Morrison’s Beloved (1987). I will examine the effectiveness of the novelists who imaginatively attempt to fill gaps in the historical scholarship on the subject of slave children. My research focuses on how African American historians and writers have responded to the pervasive apologist rhetoric of slavery.

  • Political Science 190.607 Comparative Racial Politics Fall 2011 Johns Hopkins University Tuesdays 1-2:50Pm Mergenthaler 366
    Political Science 190.607 Comparative Racial Politics Fall 2011 Johns Hopkins University Tuesdays 1-2:50pm Mergenthaler 366 Professor Erin Aeran Chung Office: 365 Mergenthaler Hall Phone: 410-516-4496 Email: [email protected] Office hours: Mondays 1:30-2:30pm and by appointment COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course surveys the major trends and approaches to the comparative study of race in political science and critically examines the link between race and politics. The goals of the course are two-fold. First, we will investigate how the study of race is linked to some of the classic preoccupations of comparative political science, such as capitalist development, state formation, and nationalism. Second, we will explore how race “works” and how it is made and remade over time and across space. We thus seek to understand how the ideologies of race and racism connect disparate peoples, regimes, institutions, and national mythologies. Topics will include race and state formation, citizenship and national membership, immigration, racial regimes, and the political economy of race. PREREQUISITES: This course is open to graduate students only. COURSE REQUIREMENTS AND EVALUATION: Participation and Discussion (30%), 2 short essays (15% each), Research Paper (40%) Because this seminar is based primarily on peer-led discussions, regular attendance and active participation are essential. All students must complete the assigned readings before coming to class and prepare ideas for debate, discussion, or interpretation. Students will write 2 short essays (approximately 3 pages double-spaced)—to be circulated via email to other seminar members at least one day before the seminar—that includes a brief discussion of the key debates and issues brought up in the designated week’s readings as well as a short critique.

  • Racial Representation and Leadership at International Organizations
    Racial Representation and Leadership at International Organizations Wilfred Chow, University of Hong Kong Enze Han, University of Hong Kong Xiaojun Li, University of British Columbia Abstract This paper uses a survey experiment to identify the effects of race on people’s perceptions of job performance at the leadership level of the United Nations, employing a hypothetical scenario that involves sexual exploitation and abuses by UN peacekeepers. We find a consistent and statistically significant positive result for the East Asian leader, who was least likely to be punished for UN reform failure and was perceived to be more ethical, more competent, more trustworthy, less selfish, and less ruthless than the African or Caucasian leaders. These findings push us to consider how much race and racial politics affect representation at international organizations, and the wider implications of these effects for understanding the evolution of the international order. 1 Introduction In contemporary mainstream international relations (IR) literature, race has not featured prominently as a variable to explain the functioning of the international system. This is somewhat peculiar given that in the early decades of the 20th century, the “race question” was front and center in IR scholarship, in the sense of how the European powers ought to deal with the “colored” people of the colonized world. W.E.B. Du Bois predicted that the global “color line” would become one of the world’s biggest challenges (Du Bois 1961; Karenga 2003). At that time, international relations between countries as well as between people of European descent and the rest of the world were almost exclusively framed in racial and civilizational terms (Vitalis 2015).

Tavernier Advisor: Vilna Bashi Treitler In the 21 st century, Atlanta, Georgia has become a major new immigrant destination. This study focuses on the migration of Afro-Caribbeans to Atlanta and uses data collected from in-depth interviews, ethnography, and the US Census to understand: 1) the factors that have contributed to the emergence of Atlanta as a new destination for Afro-Caribbean immigrants and 2) the ways in which Atlanta’s large African American population, and its growing immigrant population, shape the incorporation of Afro-Caribbeans, as black immigrants, into the southern city.
