Black Cowboys in the American West: On the Range, On the Stage, Behind the Badge. University of Oklahoma Press, $24.95 ISBN 9780806154060 “Wait a minute. Blacks Helped Pioneer the West.” – Herb Jeffries Herb Jeffries, a Detroit jazz singer, was dismayed the first time he saw black audiences in the South lining up outside segregated theaters to watch all white casts in the popular cowboy films of the 1930s. He was inspired to create films that showed that black cowboys helped win the West, too. His story is one of many found in Bruce A. Glasrud and Michael N. Searles’s broad and fascinating collection of essays on African Americans’ experiences in the American West titled Black Cowboys in the American West: On the Range, On the Stage, Behind the Badge. The editors organize thirteen brief scholarly articles into three categories: “Cowboys on the Range,” “Performing Cowboys,” and “Outriders of the Black Cowboys.” Glasrud introduces the essays; Searles provides a “concluding overview” of many of the issues raised in the essays at the end.

Mayme A. Clayton Library. SAN MARINO, Calif.—African American arts and culture exploded in early 20th century America, and the Harlem neighborhood of New York City was Ground Zero. Not as well known is what played out in Los Angeles at the same time—a flowering of African American arts, literature, and culture along Central Avenue. A new exhibition at The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens explores the Harlem Renaissance in Los Angeles, drawing on materials from The Huntington as well as items from the Mayme A. Clayton Library, which never before have been on public display. The exhibition, “Central Avenue and Beyond: The Central Avenue Page 2 Harlem Renaissance in Los Angeles,” is on view Oct. 29, 2009–Jan. 4, 2010, in the Library West Hall at The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens. “People tend to think the Harlem Renaissance took place in one spot,” says Sara “Sue” Hodson, curator of literary manuscripts at The Huntington and co-curator of the exhibition.

  • Brown Cowboys on Film: Race, Heteronormativity and Settler Colonialism
    BROWN COWBOYS ON FILM: RACE, HETERONORMATIVITY AND SETTLER COLONIALISM BEENASH JAFRI A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN GENDER, FEMINIST & WOMEN’S STUDIES YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO JULY 2014 © Beenash Jafri, 2014 ii ABSTRACT This dissertation analyzes minority-produced westerns as examples of settler cinemas. Though they are produced by subjects at the margins of settler society, I argue that settler colonialism is, nonetheless, a significant cultural context shaping these films. The dissertation intervenes into existing film studies scholarship, which has tended to frame settler colonialism as the historical context structuring the racial oppression of Native Americans, rather than as a constitutive feature of all forms of racial subjugation. As a result, the connections and investments of other racialized subjects within the dynamics of settler colonialism have received limited attention. Drawing on queer, race and Native American/Indigenous studies, the dissertation develops and deploys an intersectional framework for examining film that illuminates the fraught relationship between racialized minorities, Indigenous peoples and settler colonialism. To make its argument, the dissertation examines three sets of films: black westerns, South Asian diaspora films, and Jackie Chan’s martial arts westerns. In each chapter, I consider how existing film scholarship has read these respective films before offering an alternative interpretation that draws attention to their settler colonial contexts. For example, black westerns have been interpreted in terms of anti-racist historical revisionism; South Asian diasporic films have been analyzed in terms of their liminal position between Hollywood and Bollywood film industries; and Jackie Chan’s western parodies have been interpreted in terms of postmodern mimicry.

  • Go West, Brother: the Politics of Landscape in the Blaxploitation Western
    10 Go West, Brother: The Politics of Landscape in the Blaxploitation Western Austin Fisher When The Legend of Nigger Charley (Martin Goldman, 1972) opened in downtown theaters across the United States in May 1972, its marketing campaign provided a clear indication of who its target audience was. The film’s tagline— “Somebody warn the West. Nigger Charley ain’t running no more”—locates it within the cultural moment of the “blaxploitation” cycle, appealing to inner-city black markets through an antagonistic opposition to white America’s most hallowed foundation myth. Yet this belligerent tone belies the hesitance and uncertainty toward the Wild West, its landscape, and the attendant tropes that are to be found in the film itself. After the eponymous hero and his two fellow escapees kill their brutal white slave-master and flee into the desert from an antebellum plantation, the first encounter they actually have with “the West” is rather less assured than the tagline suggests. Charley (Fred Williamson) belatedly notices an impending ambush by a group of Native Americans and nervously says “let’s keep moving,” but the trio are rapidly surrounded and brought to a halt. As the outlaws look around anxiously, one young tribesman reaches out, wipes his fingers down Charley’s cheek and checks to see if the color has rubbed off, before confirming to his companions that it has not. A visibly relieved Charley responds by returning the gesture, and our heroes are allowed to go on their way. On a diegetic level, this scene gives a brief but clear indication that the black outlaws and the Native Americans are in sympathy with each other in their mutual opposition to white oppression.
