This is about how people connect their work with the work that precedes them. The value of a work is how it interacts with the existing scholarship, including the need to affirm and negate, as well as to fill in where the existing literature is silent. This is the importance of bibliography, a research guide to the existing literature. A scholar is known by their mastery of the bibliography of their field of study. This is why in every PhD dissertation there is always a chapter for the "review of the literature." One of the dangers in Black Studies is that

The Complex Relationship between Jews and African Americans in the Context of the Civil Rights Movement Abstract The Civil Rights Movement occurred throughout a substantial portion of the twentieth century, dedicated to fighting for equal rights for African Americans through various forms of activism. The movement had a profound impact on a number of different communities in the United States and around the world as demonstrated by the continued international attention marked by recent iterations of the Black Lives Matter and ‘Never Again’ movements. One community that had a complex reaction to the movement, played a major role within it, and was impacted by it was the American Jewish community. The African American community and the Jewish community were bonded by a similar exclusion from mainstream American society and a historic empathetic connection that would carry on into the mid-20th century; however, beginning in the late 1960s, the partnership between the groups eventually faced challenges and began to dissolve, only to resurface again in the twenty-first century.

GIBSON Under the Direction of Jonathan Gayles ABSTRACT This exploratory qualitative study describes the criteria that African American Literature professors use in defining what is African American Literature. Maulana Karenga’s black arts framework shaped the debates in the literature review and the interview protocol; furthermore, the presence or absence of the framework’s characteristics were discussed in the data analysis. The population sampled was African American Literature professors in the United States who have no less than five years experience. The primary source of data collection was in-depth interviewing. Data analysis involved open coding and axial coding. General conclusions include: (1) The core of the African American Literature definition is the black writer representing the black experience but the canon is expanding and becoming more inclusive. (2) While African American Literature is often a tool for empowerment, a wide scope is used in defining methods of empowerment.

For nineteenth-century capital, Cuba's close proximity, its C Black slaves, and its warm but diverse climate invited economic penetration. By 1900, capital desired in Cuba "a docile working class, a passive peasantry, a compliant bourgeoisie, and a subservient political elite.'" Not surprisingly, Cuba's African heritage stirred an opposite imagination amongBlacksto the North. The island's rebellious captives, its anti-colonial struggle, and its resistance to U.S. hegemony beckoned solidarity. Like Haiti, Ethiopia, and South Africa, Cuba occupied a special place in the hearts and minds of African-Americans.

Copyright © 2020 by The Regents of the University of California Oral History Center, The Bancroft Library, University of California, Berkeley ii Since 1954 the Oral History Center of The Bancroft Library, formerly the Regional Oral History Office, has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable.

  • The Relationship of Black Power and Black Arts/Consciusness Movements to the Black Studies Movement
    THE RELATIONSHIP OF BLACK POWER AND BLACK ARTS/CONSCIUSNESS MOVEMENTS TO THE BLACK STUDIES MOVEMENT A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Professional Studies by Benjamin Jermaine Woods January 2009 © 2009 Benjamin Jermaine Woods ABSTRACT This thesis is an examination of three social movements that occurred during the 1960s and 1970s: the Black Power Movement, Black Arts/Consciousness Movement, and Black Studies Movement. This study acknowledges that each movement had its own distinct character and ideas, but had overlapping actors, ideas, and objectives. The thesis argues that the political nationalism of the Black Power Movement, and the cultural nationalism of the Black Arts/Consciousness Movement influenced African students in the Black Studies Movement. Therefore, the study centers on the Black Studies Movement. Each Movement was a response to the cultural hegemony of the dominant Euro-American society. The study traces the development of each social movement including influences originating from previous eras. The Black Power Movement helped students to understand the political purpose of education in the United States and that it must help to liberate African people from white oppression. The Black Arts/Consciousness Movement contributed to the student’s recognition of the importance of identity, history, and culture. The thesis demonstrates the dialectical and reciprocal nature of all three movements in the 1960s and 1970s. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Benjamin Woods was born and raised in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. His lineage extends to the All-Black Town Movement in Oklahoma. His Father was a student activist in the Civil Rights Movement.

  • 6 Rojas Byrd Four Histories of Black Power
    113 The Four Histories of Black Power: The Black Nationalist Sector and Its Impact on American Society Fabio Rojas1 W. Carson Byrd ABSTRACT Interest in the Black Power movement and its various political, social, and cultural organizations remains high among scholars and members of the Black community. Scholarship on these organizations and the movement’s overall trajectory often discusses how these organizations faltered by not fulfilling their role of leading the Black community in the post-Civil Rights era. In this paper, we revise this view with a survey of scholarship on the many organizations that defined the Black Power movement. We call this collective effort the “Black Nationalist Sector” and it encompasses all organizations of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s whose organizational identity was based in some part, if not wholly, on the promotion of distinctive Black interests from a nationalist perspective. Our review shows that the view of Black Power as a short lived political movement is misleading. Relying on a wealth of recent scholarship, we identify four different paths within the Black Nationalist Sector: radicalized confrontation, cultural production, institutional advocacy, and alignment. Each path has a distinctive history and impact on American society. 1 Correspondence to Fabio Rojas, Indiana University, Department of Sociology, Ballantine Hall 744, 1020 E.
