    Sounding “Black”: An Ethnography of Racialized Vocality at Fisk University Marti K. Newland Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Marti K. Newland All rights reserved ABSTRACT Sounding “Black”: An Ethnography of Racialized Vocality at Fisk University Marti K. Newland Through the example of students at Fisk University, a historically black university in Nashville, Tennessee, this dissertation ethnographically examines how vocality is racialized as “black” in the United States. For students at Fisk, voice serves as a mechanism of speaking and singing, and mediates ideological, discursive, embodied and affective constructions of blackness. Fisk built its legacy by cultivating and promoting a specific kind of New World blackness through vocal expression, and the indispensability of Fisk’s historical legacy shapes how the university continues to promote the self-worth of its students as well as a remembrance of and recommitment to the social justice and citizenship journey of black people through the 21st century. The relationships between expressive culture, the politics of racial inequality, and higher education experiences overdetermine Fisk students’ vocality in relation to blackness, in addition to students’ agentive choices to express and (re)form black racial identity. This dissertation traces the differences between curricular and non-curricular vocality to foreground the ways that students resist 21st century forms of racial violence and create paths towards the world they desire. The project opens with an analysis of the role of diction in the performance practice of the Fisk Jubilee Singers®.

    © 2012 Perzavia T. Praylow RE/MAKING MEN AND WOMEN FOR THE RACE: COEDUCATION, RESPECTABILITY AND BLACK STUDENT LEADERSHIP AT FISK UNIVERSITY, 1924-1970 BY PERZAVIA T. PRAYLOW DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2012 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor David Roediger, Co-Chair Professor James Anderson, Co-Chair Associate Professor Teresa Barnes Associate Professor Erik McDuffie ii ABSTRACT This dissertation analyzes the relationship between student self-determination, the existence of competing ideologies of respectable race leadership and the transformation of coeducation at Fisk University between the 1924 and 1970. Throughout, a major focus of this dissertation is to trace how ideologies of race leadership were transformed by student dissent at Fisk. As a result, this research is concerned with analyzing students’ redefinition and negotiation of race leadership at the college. Throughout, the author asserts that Fisk students used self- determination in order to transform models of race leadership at the college. Specifically, this manuscript provides a critical interrogation of the influence of New Negro, civil rights and Black Power philosophies on the self-determination of students and their notion of what constituted respectable race leadership between 1924 and 1970. This research is more than just a history of student dissent. “Re/Making Men and Women for the Race: Coeducation, Respectability and Black Student Leadership at Fisk University, 1924-1970,” in addition, highlights the complicated and contested meaning given to the historic and contemporary role played by Black colleges in preparing students for race leadership in the African American community.

  • A History of Fisk University Library: 150 Years of African American Public History and Culture, 1866 – 2016
    A HISTORY OF FISK UNIVERSITY LIBRARY: 150 YEARS OF AFRICAN AMERICAN PUBLIC HISTORY AND CULTURE, 1866 – 2016 by BRANDON A. OWENS, SR. A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Public History Middle Tennessee State University November 2020 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Carroll Van West, Chair Dr. Louis M. Kyriakoudes Dr. Mary Hoffschwelle Dr. Frank Lambert ABSTRACT On January 9, 1866, a formal ceremony opened the doors of Fisk Free Colored School to educate whites and newly freed slaves in Nashville, Tennessee. This dissertation will argue that from the institution’s opening in 1866, Fisk University Library evolved from a passive role of providing materials for students, faculty, and the public to a leadership role in the effort to collect, preserve, and shape the study of African American history and culture. By the twenty-first century, the library was a premier African American historical organization with connections to every sub-field of public history: oral history, archival science, historic preservation, programming, museum curatorship, documentary films, and digital humanities. Overall, this research will explore the various ways an underrepresented and under-studied group of people used their power and agency to produce a new historical narrative that included the contributions of Africans and African Americans to global society. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First, I want to thank Jesus Christ who strengthened me through this entire dissertation process. Thank you, Lord, for instructing me and teaching me in the way I should go. God, thank you for using various individuals to send me words of comfort, encouragement, support, and wisdom when I needed them most.
