History in the Making The Women on the Frontlines of the Revolution By Raquel Holguin and Lark Winner The 2016 presidential election brought to the surface how deeply divided the United States is politically and socially. Many issues that seemed mostly settled, such as the right to abortions, gender equality, protected civil rights for the LGBTQ community, and environmental protections, have resurfaced to become front-page, hot button issues that are in danger of being overturned. For many armchair liberals, the Obama years seemed to demarcate an era where an inclusive liberal agenda was taken for granted, and an era where a slow, continual path towards progressive ideals was inevitable – regardless of minor battles or small setbacks. For those on the fringes of radical, left-wing political activism, the previous eight years have been a source of contention, where the surface- level achievements of a moderately progressive administration have drowned out serious issues related to police brutality, rape culture, systemic racism, and a massive military industrial complex that needs continual conflict in order to maintain its profit margins and relevance.

  • Upending the “Racial Death-Wish”: Black Gay Liberation and the Culture of Black Homophobia
    UPENDING THE “RACIAL DEATH-WISH”: BLACK GAY LIBERATION AND THE CULTURE OF BLACK HOMOPHOBIA A Thesis presented to the Faculty of California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in History by Kailyn Pope June 2021 © 2021 Kailyn Pope ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP TITLE: Upending the “Racial Death-Wish”: Black Gay Liberation and the Culture of Black Homophobia AUTHOR: Kailyn Pope DATE SUBMITTED: June 2021 COMMITTEE CHAIR: Andrew Morris, Ph.D. Professor of History COMMITTEE MEMBER: Kathleen Cairns, Ph.D. Lecturer Emeritus of History COMMITTEE MEMBER: Thomas Trice, Ph.D. Associate Professor of History iii ABSTRACT Upending the “Racial Death-Wish”: Black Gay Liberation and the Culture of Black Homophobia Kailyn Pope This thesis analyzes the origin and impact of Black homophobia found in activist spaces of mid- to late-twentieth-century American society. Black gay Americans were subjected to intersecting forms of systemic and cultural oppression that were exceedingly hard to escape due to both the homophobia in Black spaces and the racism in gay spaces. Black gay activists and artists thus had to create their own avenues of expression where they and others could fully embrace what it meant to be Black and gay. This work utilizes a Black feminist framework to explore the roots of Black homophobia and how this type of bigotry was able to so deeply infiltrate Black activist spaces like the Civil Rights Movement and the Black Panther Party. Black homophobia originated as a response to White supremacist domination of the Black body, and was able to spread through the community for generations through paths such as hypermasculinity, the Black church, and misogynoir.

  • Quaesitum the Undergraduate Research Journal of the University of Memphis
    QuaesitUM The Undergraduate Research Journal of The University of Memphis Spring 2018 http://www.memphis.edu/quaesitum/ i QuaesitUM is an annual publication that provides an academic forum where University of Memphis undergraduate students can showcase research from all disciplines. QuaesitUM © 2018 Te University of Memphis http://www.memphis.edu/quaesitum/ ISSN 2375-5423 ii Editorial Board Editor-in-Chief Dr. Sage Graham Technical Editor Scott Dutt iii To Our Readers When we began Quaesitum (“The Q”) fve years ago, our vision was to represent the ways that students across disciplines at the University of Memphis exemplify quality research. We sought papers that provided new and innovative approaches to scholarship – new perspectives, new ex- perimental designs, new tested results. As we noted then, the name of the journal, Quaesitum (v. to seek or to ask), captures the essence of scholar- ship – the drive for exploration and the inquisitiveness that fuels academic work. As Zora Neal Hurston put it, “Research is formalized curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose.” In this, our ffth volume, we have compiled a collection of papers that represents the high caliber of work that our students produce. Person- ally, the journey of the past fve years has been very fulflling, as I have witnessed our students growing from being solely ‘consumers’ of knowl- edge, to contributors and producers who engage in the scholarly ‘conver- sation’ that helps us better understand the world around us. This conversa- tion stretches across disciplines as diverse as Biology, Women’s Studies, Linguistics, Biomedical Engineering, Hospitality & Resort Management, Economics, and Civil Engineering, and speaks to an interdisciplinarity that can only make our efforts stronger.

It creates a dichotomy between the Civil Rights Movement and Black Power Movement that need not exist This narrative erases the thoughts and ideas that the Black community had about Black Power and the place that Black Power holds within the Black Freedom Struggle.

  • 'Every Woman Knows a Weinstein': Political Whiteness in #Metoo And
    Cite as: Phipps, Alison. 2019. “Every woman knows a Weinstein: political whiteness in #MeToo and public feminisms around sexual violence’, currently under review by Feminist Formations. ‘Every woman knows a Weinstein’: political whiteness in #MeToo and public feminisms around sexual violence Abstract This paper explores how whiteness shapes public feminisms around sexual violence, using #MeToo as a case study. I argue that contemporary survivor stories are both embraced and repudiated in a testimonial, neoliberal context, in which the ‘wounds’ of the backlash are also dominating public discourse. Furthermore, although there are important differences between them, the ‘wounded attachments’ (Brown 1995) of sexual violence feminisms and the backlashes against them reflect political whiteness. I theorize this as an orientation to/mode of politics which employs both symbolic tropes of white woundability and interpersonal performances of white fragility (DiAngelo 2011), and tends to invoke state and institutional power to redress personal injury. Political whiteness echoes the colloquial term ‘white feminism’ but encompasses progressive and reactionary white politics: acknowledging the constitutive power of race exposes continuities between the two. However, alternatives articulated by women of color may invite different problematics, for instance intersecting with neoliberal notions of resilience. Challenging political whiteness is therefore not simply a case of including more diverse narratives: this must be done alongside an examination

  • What Is Black Twitter? a Rhetorical Criticism of Race, Dis/Information, and Social Media
    CHAPTER 5. WHAT IS BLACK TWITTER? A RHETORICAL CRITICISM OF RACE, DIS/INFORMATION, AND SOCIAL MEDIA Alexandria Lockett Spelman College Key Words and Concepts: Black Rhetoric, Blackness, Surveillance, Disinformation, Information Warfare, Hashtags “I TWITTER, THEREFORE I AM BLACK, OR AM I BLACK AND THEREFORE I TWITTER?” Black Twitter tells a powerful story about emerging digital racial literacies and their relationship to a long history of anti-Black information warfare. Through a constellation of hashtags, Black Twitter maps onto archived demonstrations of Black cultural discourse. Its users critically exchange stories about bearing witness to the absurdity of race and racism. These include having humorous dis- cussions about shared racial experiences (#Growingupblack and #Thanksgiving- withBlackFamilies), critiquing Black mis/representation in media and entertain- ment (#OscarsSoWhite and #CNNBeLike], putting racist White folks on blast (#AskRachel and #PaulasBestDishes], and making structural anti-Black racism more publicly visible (#Icantbreathe, #NotJustUVA, #reclaimOSU, and #Black- LivesMatter]. Such hashtags have generated countless conversation threads that appeal to a vast global network of (presumably and predominantly) Black social media users.1 Throughout this chapter, I argue that Black Twitter should be read as a text comprised of narratives about digitally mediated Black cultural preservation and expression. I will show how Black Twitter serves as a living archive of collective 1 #BlackLivesMatter has been the most extensively studied hashtag that is associated with Black Twitter.

  • Browngirl Narratives Final Draft Reddy 8.15.13
    ABSTRACT: Title of Dissertation: BROWNGIRL NARRATIVES: EXPLORING COMING OF AGE IN THE GOLDEN ERA OF HIP HOP (1986-1996) Melissa Kim Chae Reddy, Doctor of Philosophy, 2013 Dissertation Directed By: Associate Professor Psyche Williams-Forson Department of American Studies “Browngirl Narratives” seeks to gain a clearer understanding of what we can learn from the textual evidence about the experiences of browngirls who came of age during the post-civil rights Golden Age of Hip Hop (1986-1996) by examining the contemporary literature, film, social media and music produced by and about these black women. It is an inquiry into the ways in which browngirls who came of age in the United States1 negotiate the dominant scripts that exist in their lives––literature, music, film, television and the Internet––to create and craft their own stories. The aim here is to utilize an interdisciplinary, black female-centered framework to fully problematize phenomena such as self-creation, empowerment, and sexual exploration in the lives of black women who came of age during the approximate ten year period of 1986-196. This study is an examination of black female bidungsromane–– black female cultural texts which illustrate the coming of age and/or development processes. Additionally it is an investigation into what we can learn about the ongoing 1!
