    ABSTRACT Title of dissertation: SLAVE SHIPS, SHAMROCKS, AND SHACKLES: TRANSATLANTIC CONNECTIONS IN BLACK AMERICAN AND NORTHERN IRISH WOMEN’S REVOLUTIONARY AUTO/BIOGRAPHICAL WRITING, 1960S-1990S Amy L. Washburn, Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Dissertation directed by: Professor Deborah S. Rosenfelt Department of Women’s Studies This dissertation explores revolutionary women’s contributions to the anti-colonial civil rights movements of the United States and Northern Ireland from the late 1960s to the late 1990s. I connect the work of Black American and Northern Irish revolutionary women leaders/writers involved in the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), Black Panther Party (BPP), Black Liberation Army (BLA), the Republic for New Afrika (RNA), the Soledad Brothers’ Defense Committee, the Communist Party- USA (Che Lumumba Club), the Jericho Movement, People’s Democracy (PD), the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association (NICRA), the Irish Republican Socialist Party (IRSP), the National H-Block/ Armagh Committee, the Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA), Women Against Imperialism (WAI), and/or Sinn Féin (SF), among others by examining their leadership roles, individual voices, and cultural productions. This project analyses political communiqués/ petitions, news coverage, prison files, personal letters, poetry and short prose, and memoirs of revolutionary Black American and Northern Irish women, all of whom were targeted, arrested, and imprisoned for their political activities. I highlight the personal correspondence, auto/biographical narratives, and poetry of the following key leaders/writers: Angela Y. Davis and Bernadette Devlin McAliskey; Assata Shakur and Margaretta D’Arcy; Ericka Huggins and Roseleen Walsh; Afeni Shakur-Davis, Joan Bird, Safiya Bukhari, and Martina Anderson, Ella O’Dwyer, and Mairéad Farrell.

    Journal of Criminal Justice and Law Review Vol. 5 • Nos. 1­2 • January­December 2016 Racial slavery, that “peculiar institution” of the American South, has proven to be one of the United States’ most enduring. In the immediate aftermath of the Civil War, it was repackaged and re-articulated as a convict underclass. The justification for the marginalization of that convict underclass, a group I refer to as the “criminal caste,” was often articulated in the same terms that had been used to justify racial slavery, a pattern that reflected an underlying commitment to white supremacy. The purpose of this article is to examine the role of historical white supremacy, articulated through colorism and the systematic denigration of blackness, in the construction of a criminal caste in New Orleans. As historian Adam Rothman observed, the Americans who moved west from Virginia and the Carolinas to settle the fertile lands of the Lower Mississippi River Valley, took their values with them as they sought to transmute the wild frontier of Louisiana into “slave country” (Rothman, 2007). Central to those values was a racialized caste system that stipulated black bondage as a necessary counterpoint to white liberty. The internal logic of that caste system demanded that where whiteness signified privilege, blackness necessarily signified subordination; where whiteness signified virtue, blackness signified degeneracy and brutishness. Where whites signified, as a group, the American citizenry, blacks (and non-white people, more generally) signified subjects of the American state, separate from the body politic and unfit for citizenship. This sensibility was, in fact, articulated explicitly by Chief Justice Roger B.

  • The Institute of the Black World and the Incomplete Victory of the Second Reconstruction

    “NEW CONCEPTS FOR THE NEW MAN:” THE INSTITUTE OF THE BLACK WORLD AND THE INCOMPLETE VICTORY OF THE SECOND RECONSTRUCTION DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Derrick Edward White, B.S., M.A. The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee: Warren Van Tine, Co-Adviser Leslie Alexander Demetrius Eudell Approved by _________________________ Adviser Department of History Copyright by Derrick E. White ABSTRACT The Institute of the Black World (IBW) was a group of Black intellectuals who believed that Black liberation was both a political and intellectual project. Founded in 1969, the Atlanta, Georgia based organization was initially a component of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Center. After a tumultuous separation, IBW became an independent organization. Although dozens of Black intellectuals passed through the institute, the core members of the organization were historian Vincent Harding, historian Robert Hill, and political scientist William Strickland. The intellectuals that supported the institute were world renown, including C.L.R. James, Walter Rodney, St. Clair Drake, Lerone Bennett, Jr., and Joyce Ladner. The dramatic call for Black Power and its subsequent manifestations of Black Studies, and Black Politics influenced this eclectic group. The Institute sought to provide rigorous conceptual, social, political, and economic analysis of the Black Freedom Struggle. The goal of this project is twofold. First, I examine the history of the understudied Institute. Second, using the Institute as a prism, I examine the intellectual trajectory of the Black Freedom Struggle in the 1970s. IBW involved itself in many of the debates that defined the intellectual history of the 1970s, namely ii developing a “Black University,” a Black agenda, and a conceptual framework beyond Liberalism, Nationalism, and Marxism.
