  • I Am Because We Are: Africana Womanism As a Vehicle of Empowerment and Influence”
    “I Am Because We Are: Africana Womanism as a Vehicle of Empowerment and Influence” Janiece L. Blackmon Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In History Committee Chair: Dr. Beverly Bunch‐Lyons Committee Member: Dr. Hayward Farrar Committee Member: Dr. Brett L. Shadle June 16, 2008 Blacksburg, VA Keywords: Gender, Africana womanism, Rastafarianism, Black Panther Party, Nation of Gods and Earths “I Am Because We Are: Africana Womanism as a Vehicle of Empowerment and Influence” Janiece L. Blackmon ABSTRACT The purpose of this research project has been to shed light on the experiences of Black women in Afrocentric groups—Nation of Gods and Earths, the Black Panther Party, and Rastafarians—that operated on the fringes of society during the 1960s through the early 2000s. This work articulates the gender dynamics between the men and women of the groups. In it, I trace the history of Black nationalism and identity in the United States in the late 19th century to the 20th century which set the framework for the formation of the Nation of Gods and Earths (NGE), the Black Panther Party(BPP), and Rastafarianism and its members to see themselves as a part of the Black nation or community and the women of these groups to see their identity tied in with the goals and desires of the group not as one set on individualistic ambitions. The Africana womanist did not see herself as an individual but rather a vital part of the entire Black community.

  • Abdat Fathie Ali [email protected]
    Before the Fez: The Life and Times of Drew Ali, 1886-1924 Fathie Ali Abdat [email protected] I. Finding Ali A scrutiny of black American Islamic literature reveals that while there is a proliferation of texts on religious communities like the Nation of Islam, Five Percenters, Ahmadiyya and Sunnis, there is a paucity of accounts on the Moorish Science Temple of America (MSTA), an Asiatic Moslem religious movement founded in mid 1920s Chicago for African-Americans. According to Edward Curtis IV, academics’ relative silence on MSTA’s early religious history and its prophet Noble Drew Ali (1886-1929) has been attributed to a dearth of primary source literature external to the movement as well as the permeation of hagiographic Moorish myths Journal of Race, Ethnicity, and Religion Volume 5, Issue 8 (August 2014) ©Sopher Press (contact [email protected]) Page 1 of 39 sculptured by different groups.1 MSTA religious texts like the Circle Seven Koran, Koran Questions for Moorish Americans and the Moorish Guide (1928-1929) only serves to document the movement’s sanitized history from its official inception in 1925 onwards but divulges vague silhouettes of Ali’s pre 1925 origins with the exception of scant allusions to his birth details and roots of his proto-MSTA religious establishment, the Canaanite Temple in Newark, New Jersey. Essentially, this manuscript takes up Curtis’ challenge to probe against the grain of romanticized Moorish myths and empirically reconstruct Ali’s beginnings prior to donning the Moorish American fez of Prophethood in 1925 through an examination of fortuitously surfaced documents such as Ali’s World War I draft card, census records and street directories.

Arts, Hons) A THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF SINGAPORE 2008 Acknowledgements I extend my sincerest gratitude first to the National University of Singapore (NUS) for granting me the Masters Research Scholarship that enabled me to carry out this undertaking. Also, my thanks go out to the librarians at various universities for assisting me track down countless number of primary and secondary sources that were literally scattered around the world. Without their tireless dedication and effort, this thesis would not have been feasible. The NUS library forked out a substantial sum of money purchasing dozens of books and journals for which I am grateful for. In New York, the friendly staff at Columbia University’s Butler Library, Union Theological Seminary’s Burke Library and Schomburg Centre for Research in Black Culture provided me access to newspaper articles, FBI files, rare books and archival materials that provided much content for my work. In Malaysia, the staff at the University of Malaya enabled me to browse through Za’aba’s extensive private collection that included the journal, Moslem World & the U.S.A. In the process of writing this thesis, I am indebted to various faculty members at the Department of History such as Assoc. Prof. Ian Gordon, Assoc. Prof. Michael Feener and Assoc. Prof. Thomas Dubois, who in one way or another, helped shape my ideas on Malcolm X’s intellectual beliefs and developed my skills as an apprentice historian.

Black Musi im leaders such as. Muhammad Ali last week joined Christia·n and Jewish leaders in t6ndemning hfs demonic rant i ngs of hatred. Muhammad Ali rightly said that _Farrakhan 1s 1'1terrible11 statements betray true Muslim thinking about J~daism and ~ews , from whom the Islamic faith derives. But' the leader of the American Muslim Mission , Warith Muhammed, zeroed in on the true threat Farrakhan represents to all Americans. Warith Munamm'ec! said it bluntly last week: 11 Farrakhan represents the same kind of th i ng that Hitler taught. 11 While the press has treated Farrakhan's obscenities .mainly as a ~la~k­ Jewish iss~e, the plain fact is that h i s verbal violence and his separatist ideology are a clear- cut attack on basic American democratic values and institutions.
