  • Afrocentrism Through Afro-American Music: from the 1960’S Until the Early 2000’S
    Afrocentrism through Afro-American Music: from the 1960’s until the Early 2000’s by Jérémie Kroubo Dagnini, Department of Anglophone Studies University Michel de Montaigne Bordeaux 3, France. Jérémie Kroubo Dagnini ([email protected]) is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Anglophone Studies at the University Michel de Montaigne Bordeaux 3 in France, conducting research on the history of Jamaican popular music in the twentieth century. He is the author of Les origines du reggae: retour aux sources. Mento, ska, rocksteady, early reggae published by L’Harmattan in 2008. Abstract Afrocentrism is an intellectual, political, sociological, historical and cultural movement principally born out of Black people’s constant struggle against racism and oppression. Thus, this ideology dates back to the era of slavery and was born in the Black diaspora as a response to Eurocentrism which views the world from a European perspective, implying superiority of Europeans and more generally Westerners, namely Whites, over non-Europeans, namely non- Whites, especially Blacks. The United States of America being an ancient land of slavery, it is not surprising that Afrocentrism emerged within its society. It has been notably significant from the late 19th onwards and has impacted on different aspects of social life, including literature, politics, religion, economy, sport and music. Since the 1960’s, Afrocentrism has been particularly visible through music which has become an obvious new force in America. Indeed, in the 1960’s, it was an integral part of soul music which accompanied the civil rights movements. Then, it has integrated most genres which followed up such as funk, rap and modern rhythm and blues.

In an Academic Voice: Antisemitism and Academy Bias Kenneth Lasson* Current events and the recent literature strongly suggest that antisemitism and anti-Zionism are often conflated and can no longer be viewed as distinct phenomena. The following paper provides an overview of con- temporary media and scholarship concerning antisemitic/anti-Zionist events and rhetoric on college campuses. This analysis leads to the con- clusion that those who are naive about campus antisemitism should exer- cise greater vigilance and be more aggressive in confronting the problem. Key Words: Antisemitism, Higher Education, Israel, American Jews In America, Jews feel very comfortable, but there are islands of anti- Semitism: the American college campus. —Natan Sharansky1 While universities like to nurture the perception that they are protec- tors of reasoned discourse, and indeed often perceive themselves as sacro- sanct places of culture in a chaotic world, the modern campus is, of course, not quite so wonderful.

  • The Minister for Hate Farrakhan Heads Down-Under
    The Minister for Hate Farrakhan heads down-under By Kenneth Stern Forty thousand people crammed into Atlanta's Georgia Dome on October 18, 1992, to hear Nation of Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan. He spoke about black self-help. He spoke about electoral politics. And he spoke about Jews. Alluding to the Atlanta Jewish leadership's refusal to meet with him, Farrakhan said his differences with Jews were "theological-not political." The 40,000 listened intently while Farrakhan delineated these "theological" differences: "We didn't ask you [Jews] to apologise for helping put our fathers into slavery," he said. "We didn't ask you to apologise for Stepin Fetchit and for giving us Aunt Jemima roles in Hollywood. You have the power but you don't have the power of the god I represent... He'll smash you in the twinkle of an eye... If you're angry and pained because our [black] people in Atlanta have accepted us, get over it." Farrakhan's comments on Jews garnered the loudest applause of the evening. And with Farrakhan preparing to visit Australia - he is currently applying for a visa - Australians will soon learn at first hand exactly what the Nation of Islam leader has to say about his many targets of hate. Bigotry has always existed. Increased integration has not eradicated prejudice, and Farrakhan argues, with force, that integration alone can never end racism. Farrakhan argues that blacks should separate from whites and thus gain control over their own lives. It is a message parallel to one heard from time to time in many ethnic communities that look inward with nationalistic tones in time of perceived crises.

  • African Americans
    05-Healey-Reader.qxd 11/3/03 2:52 PM Page 145 5 AFRICAN AMERICANS The system of de jure segregation that perpetuated the oppression and exploitation of African Americans following slavery came to an end in the 1960s, destroyed by a combination of court rulings, legislation, and the courageous activism of civil rights demonstrators. Since that time, the status of African Americans has improved in many ways. The black middle class has increased in size and affluence, average levels of education have risen, and the income gap between blacks and whites has diminished. At the dawn of the twenty-first century, African Americans can be found at all levels of society and include some of the wealthiest, most respected and prestigious people in the world. At the same time, enormous problems of poverty and powerlessness, racism and exclusion remain. Black Americans are still three times more likely to live in poverty as whites and, even more distressing, one-third of black children (versus about 13 percent of white children) will be raised in poverty. The black urban underclass continues to grow, and black Americans are the victims of continuing, systematic discrimination in every societal institution, including, in particular, the criminal justice system. Antiblack prejudice and racism persist in American culture and in the minds of many, albeit in a somewhat muted and covert form. The selections in this chapter address this mixture of racial progress and failure from a number of angles. The Narrative Portrait focuses on the loneliness and alienation that some- times affects upwardly mobile black Americans and other peoples of color.

  • The Messianic Zeal: a Case of Radical Aesthetics in Black Cultural Production
    Williams: The Messianic Zeal: A Case of Radical Aesthetics in Black Cultura The Messianic Zeal: A Case of Radical Aesthetics in Black Cultural Production Daniel L. Williams Abstract This essay examines artwork by popular artists D’Angelo, Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar and 2pac Shakur and compares their articulations to a larger discourse of messianic symbolism in (black) American popular culture. In this paper, messianic symbolism is a discursive chain of symbols that invoke the Black experience. Artists extend the legacy of earlier representations of black messianism by similarly representing themselves as Jews, saviors or folk heroes with a specific mission to save a world burdened by racial strife and oppression. These qualities manifest in lyrics, album covers, and other late 20th century rhetoric. VOLUME 5 ISSUE 1 104 Published by VCU Scholars Compass, 2018 1 Journal of Hip Hop Studies, Vol. 5 [2018], Iss. 1, Art. 9 Introduction Why are contemporary artists preoccupied with the messianic? In a genre known for moral shortcomings, conversations related to religion topics are less common especially considering the “secularization of the West.”1 The messianic paradigm functions beyond religion and encompasses political conviction. This study posits W.E.B. Du Bois as an ancestor of public intellectuals/artists who represent Black American historical circumstances as a messianic experience. The messianic is a common trope among scholars that suggests Jewish culture has a fundamentally different relationship to time than their gentile neighbors. Various black cultural producers to restore meaningful subjectivity to a systematically oppressed ethnic group have used the idea of a messiah. One may view this representation as a tactic of self- fashioning meant to neutralize controlling images of slavery through notions and references to divinity.2 Unlike their contemporaries (Greco-Roman, Persian), ancient Hebrews did not see time as a cyclical, endless cycle, but rather, as moving forward to an end.
