As much as I would like to think that I was able to develop wings on my own while darting into the abyss, there would have most certainly been some pretty hard landings if not for some incredible individuals who guided me through the entire process. Firstly, to all of the individuals who took the time out of their busy lives to sit down with an unknown girl from across the country, I am forever grateful for your candour, passion and openness. Although interviews were only part of my multiple source strategy, it was your voices that were able to breath life into this project and remind us all that at the heart of the democratic process are the people it is intended to represent and assist. Secondly, to Dr. Ana Prata and Dr. Amy Denissen, who have been incredible committee members: to both of you, I sincerely appreciate your invaluable feedback and support over the course of the last year.

  • Waging Love from Detroit to Flint
    chapter 7 Waging Love from Detroit to Flint Michael Doan, Shea Howell and Ami Harbin Over the past five years the authors have been working in Detroit with grass- roots coalitions resisting emergency management.1 In this essay, we explore how community groups in Detroit and Flint have advanced common struggles for clean, safe, affordable water as a human right, offering an account of activ- ism that has directly confronted neoliberalism across the state. We analyze how solidarity has been forged through community organizing, interventions into mainstream media portrayals of the water crises, and the articulation of coun- ternarratives that center the experiences, needs, and collective power of those most directly affected. While our rootedness in Detroit leads us to focus pri- marily on the experiences of activists based there rather than in Flint, we insist throughout that the experiences, resistance, and aspirations of these commu- nities are best understood as interconnected and mutually empowering. 1 Resisting Emergency Management in Michigan Detroit has provided water to the City of Flint since 1967, the year of the Detroit Rebellion. Within a few years Detroiters had elected Coleman A. Young, one of the first and strongest African American mayors in the United States. Young’s election reverberated across the country. Many whites living in the Southeast Michigan region perceived emerging African American political power as a threat and, over the next several decades, abandoned cities for suburbs (Sugrue 2005). During the 1970s, nearly 250,000 jobs left Detroit and the city lost one- fifth of its population. Over the next decade, black unemployment had risen to 34 percent and the Metro Detroit region had the largest income differen- tial between city and suburbs of any major metropolitan area in the country.

Korstad, Supervisor ___________________________ Adriane Lentz-Smith ___________________________ Dirk Bönker ___________________________ Thavolia Glymph ___________________________ Matthew Lassiter An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of Duke University 2015 i v Copyright by Michael Stauch, Jr. 2015 Abstract This dissertation is a history of the city of Detroit in the 1970s. Using archives official and unofficial - oral histories and archived document collections, self-published memoirs and legal documents, personal papers and the newspapers of the radical press – it portrays a city in flux. It was in the 1970s that the urban crisis in the cities of the United States crested. Detroit, as had been the case throughout the twentieth century, was at the forefront of these changes. This dissertation demonstrates the local social, political, economic and legislative circumstances that contributed to the dramatic increase in prison populations since the 1970s. In the streets, unemployed African American youth organized themselves to counteract the contracted social distribution allocated to them under rapidly changing economic circumstances.

  • Race, Media, and the Crisis of Civil Society: from Watts to Rodney King
    Race, Media, and the Crisis of Civil Society: From Watts to Rodney King Ronald N. Jacobs Cambridge University Press Since the early nineteenth century, African-Americans have turned to black newspapers to monitor the main- stream media and to develop alternative interpretations of public events. Ronald Jacobs tells the stories of these newspapers, showing how they increased black visibility within white civil society and helped to form separate black public spheres in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. Comparing African-American and “main- stream” media coverage of some of the most memorable racial crises of the last forty years such as the Watts riot, the beating of Rodney King, the Los Angeles uprising and the O. J. Simpson Trial, Jacobs shows why a strong African-American press is still needed today. Race, Media, and the Crisis of Civil Society challenges us to rethink our common understandings of communication, solidarity and democracy.Its engaging style and thorough scholarship will ensure its appeal to students, academics and the general reader interested in the mass media, race and politics. . is Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University at Albany, State University of New York.

  • Removal Or Renewal: Black Students' Attitudes
    REMOVAL OR RENEWAL: BLACK STUDENTS’ ATTITUDES TOWARDS MEDIA COVERAGE OF URBAN DEVELOPMENT AND RENEWAL IN DETROIT By Rashad Timmons A THESIS Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Journalism—Master of Arts 2018 ABSTRACT REMOVAL OR RENEWAL: BLACK STUDENTS’ ATTITUDES TOWARD MEDIA COVERAGE OF URBAN DEVELOPMENT AND RENEWAL IN DETROIT By Rashad Timmons The press and broader media industries in Detroit are instrumental in shaping narratives about proposed development and renewal strategies. As many stakeholders speculate on Detroit's comeback and private capital pours into select parts of the city, its most vulnerable residents continue to struggle in areas ranging from housing to education to employment. These residents, still chiefly Black and poor, remain on the margins of Detroit's spotty progress. Discourses around development and renewal continue to be shaped by political and corporate agents, community members, and the press. Currently, the sum of coverage pertaining to urban development and renewal is generally mixed and nuanced; nevertheless, mainstream media have not strayed from framing private development in the city as a markedly positive enterprise, even as some of this investment has facilitated further harm to the most socioeconomically vulnerable. This research focuses on the perspectives held by individuals a part of, or at least closely connected to, those vulnerable communities by centering Black, Detroit residents. The central inquires of this research hope to uncover what media sources Black Detroiters use to acquire news about urban development and renewal and their perceptions of that coverage. To address these questions, a quantitative survey was administered to Black undergraduate students listed as residents of Detroit at a large, Midwestern university.
