I also gave a deposition in his behalf a few years ago when he was rightly suing Wellesley College where he teaches and where I spoke just two nights ago. The Need to Grows at Wellesley who are terrified to support him are the ones we are unfortunately used to seeing in so many areas of Afrikan life who are under the influence of rabid Zionists and do their bidding. He is a strong Afrikan Brother and is the ultimate scholar on Marcus Garvey, and I simply want those in Europe and elsewhere to be aware of how Zionist influence all over the world continues to hamper the progress our Brothers and Sisters. http://www.blacksandjews.com/Martin.UK.Disinvitation2.html 26/10/2003 Prof. Tony Martin Dis-Invited to UK! Page 3 of 17 Forward, Ray Winbush, List Moderator Global Afrikan Congress North American Region Black Scholar Withdraws From anti-Black "Black History" Conference Rosemary Emodi , Business Manager Mayor's Office, London SE1 2AA [Phone: +44 (0) 20 7983 6557; Facsimile: +44 (0) 20 7983 4008; E-Mail: [email protected]; Web: www.london.gov.uk] Dear Rosemary, Thanks for the invitation to chair a session at the upcoming First Voice Conference organised by the Moyor's Office. In normal circumstances I would have been pleased to accept such an invitation. However, in view of the withdrawal of the invitation extended to Prof. Antony Martin to address this conference, I shall not attend, for I do not wish by any means to convey the impression that I associate myself with such a decision. Professor Martin is very well known to me. So is his work, which is known to a vast number of people of all descriptions across the world. Professor Martin is a very rigorous scholor, brilliant, hard working and always in search of the truth - whatsoever that truth may be. He has deservedly earned respect as, among other things, the foremost scholar on the Honourable Marcus Garvey, universally recognised as the foremost fighter for Afrikan redemption. Professor Martin is an outstanding academic not merely because of his considerable publications, but also because he has shared his knowledge with large numbers of people in high and low places in many parts of the world. He has used his profession as a vocation for advancing the casuse of the Afrikan people, and therefore of justice in this world. As one who practises in the academy, I am deeply troubled that such an outstanding academic, a real role model, can be treated with the disrespect occasioned by this 'disinvitation'. This is a blow against academic freedom and by extension the very democracy the Mayor's Office claims to be bringing to the people of London. The circumstances of this development are deeply troubling. Professor Martin, an outstanding Afrikan, has been debarred from addressing this conference about Afrikan people because one group of non-Afrikans say that they are upset because he addressed two conferences organised by and or addressed by persons with whom they disagree. This is guilt by association. As someone who is conscious of the many times Afrikan people have been 'found guilty' because they associated with others 'not approved' by oppressive forces, I am greatly horrified that the Mayor's Office would place itself on the very same side of those who have historically oppressed Afrikan people - and employ some of their well known tactics. This development does nothing to further the aims of the Afrikan (Black) History Month, of which this conference purports to be a part. It does not serve the interests of Afrikan self determination. It undermines any notion of democracy, fair play, academic freedom or decency. It places the Mayor's Office in a camp opposite to those who support these worthwhile ideals. It tells tax paying Afrikans in London and by extension Afrikans and supporters of Afrikan struggles all over the world, that our views do not matter to the Mayor's Office. It tells us that Afrikans functioning within the Mayor's Office are either http://www.blacksandjews.com/Martin.UK.Disinvitation2.html 26/10/2003 Prof. Tony Martin Dis-Invited to UK! Page 4 of 17 ineffective in representing the interests of the majority of Afrikans, or that they do not know or care about these interests, or that they are unjustly subordinated to other interests. In any event this development threatens to place the Mayor's Office and those within in a very clear light. Many Afrikans have for long been justly suspicious of anything emanating from within the establishment. This performance justifies that posture. I disassociate myself from the conference as an act of protest against this decision. I hope that the Mayor's Office will find it necessary, and herefore possible, to apologise not only to Prof. Martin, but to to all Afrikans for this insulting decision. Undoubtably some Afrikans will attend this conference, and for many reasons. Others will stay away, for many reasons also. This issue will however always tell Afrikans much about the dangers of placing too much trust in the establishment - and about the importance of self organisation as the only true basis of self representation, which is the truest form of representation and the only road to Afrikan redemption. Yours most Sincerely, Kimani Nehusi. Important Question for Black Londoners Elder Lester wrote "But why is a White London Mayor getting involved in organising events for Black History Month in Britain." Important question. This same Ken Livingstone supported the racist who was responsible for an African, Sam Yeboah, being removed as personnel officer in the London Borough of Hackney. Lee Jasper came into prominence when he assisted Ken Livingstone to destroy the Anti Racist Alliance. Anti Racist Alliance was winning the position that anti-racist struggle should be led by victims of racism (black people) but Ken Livingstone used Lee Jasper to kill that organisation. Now he is using him to prevent Africans speaking about our history. The only solution is for us to organise our own thing and not suck up to this racist Ken begging opportunistically for co-option into global racist structures. Explo Nani-Kofi THE ATTACK ON TONY MARTIN BY LEE JASPER, KEN LIVINGSTONE AND THE BRITISH JEWS: A PAN AFRICAN RESPONSE Quote:" Capitalism, the enemy, has us reacting to stimuli so that in the process of reacting, we think we are thinking." (Kwame Ture, International Black Solidarity Rally, Friends House, Euston, London, 29 September 1983). The Pan African Movement in Britain must seize the initiative to organise a massive response to the attack on Tony Martin by Zionists, Jews, London Mayor Ken Livingstone and Jewish agent Lee Jasper. One does not know what the response would be to the call for invited speakers to stay away unless the invitation to Tony Martin is restored. Indeed, there seems to be some http://www.blacksandjews.com/Martin.UK.Disinvitation2.html 26/10/2003 Prof.

This work examines Creole ethnic identity, focusing particularly on the transition from Creole to American. In "becoming American," Creoles adapted to a binary, racialized caste system prevalent in the Jim Crow American South (and transformed from a primarily Francophone/Creolophone community (where a tripartite although permissive caste system long existed) to a primarily Anglophone community (marked by stricter black-white binaries). These adaptations and transformations were facilitated through Creole participation in fraternal societies, the organized labor movement and public and parochial schools that provided English-only instruction.

  • Prof. Tony Martin Dis-Invite by Ken Livingstone & Lee Jasper
    Prof. Tony Martin Dis-Invited to UK! Page 1 of 7 Dr. Tony Martin to Speak in London Just In: Report From the London Conference Prof. Tony Martin Dis- Invited to UK! Mayor's Uncle Tom Lee Jasper Does Dirty Work -- UK Blacks Protest --Ask Other Invitees Not to Attend British Blacks are outraged over the dis-invitation of the highly renowned Marcus Garvey scholar Dr. Tony Martin to a Black History Month event scheduled for October 25th in London. The event, an annual opportunity for Blacks to hear lectures from the world's top Black scholars, is arranged through the mayor's office which funds and promotes the event through its yassir-boss-negro Lee Jasper. When London Mayor Ken Livingstone was informed of Dr. Martin's uncompromising analysis of the Black/Jewish relationship (see Martin's landmark book, The Jewish Onslaught), Jasper was ordered to "dis-invite" Martin-- an order which Jasper promptly and dutifully carried out. London's Blacks, outraged by Jasper's unreserved submission, appealed to other invitees to refuse their invitations unless Martin's invitation is restored. [editor's note: Uncle Tomism has plagued the Black man for centuries. The Black Anglo-Saxon, Lee Jasper, is not the first one to buck and shimmy on behalf of Jews. Read the Open Letter to the Uncle Toms from the African United Front.] Below is an exchange of correspondence between Lee Jasper and Dr. Tony Martin, along with the international community's expressions of outrage.

    157 The Black Power Movement in Trinidad and Tobago Jerome Teelucksingh ABSTRACT The article examines the impact of Black Power in Trinidad and Tobago during the 1960s and 1970s. Black Power appealed to a wide cross-section of the public, including academics, trade unionists, and the underprivileged. There is emphasis on the global and regional linkages, including the Sir George Williams Affair in Canada and the Black Power Movement in the United States. Furthermore, Black Power participants in Trinidad and Tobago maintained contacts with their counterparts in other Caribbean countries. The article also provides evidence that the Black Power Movement highlighted the economic problems, racism, and social crisis facing Trinidad and Tobago. This included removal of restrictions from certain jobs and reduction of the racial tension between Afro-Trinidadians and Indo-Trinidadians. Mention is made of individuals and groups who provided leadership, guidance, and ideological input within the movement. Origins of Black Power Black Power in Trinidad and Tobago, during the 1960s and 1970s, was strongly influenced by the ideology of Pan-Africanism, which emerged during the nineteenth century and continued into the early twentieth century when Marcus Garvey, a Jamaican based in the United Black Diaspora Review 4(1) Winter 2014 158 States, promoted race consciousness during the 1920s and 1930s.1 Race consciousness, African identity, and pride were important components of Pan-Africanism and Garveyism, which comprised the foundation of Black Power. The emergence of Black Power during the 1960s signified a struggle to reclaim authority, power, identity, and respect. Black Power in the United States was a response to many years of racism faced by African Americans and that turbulent era was marked by discontent with the “establishment” and rejection of conventional politics.

  • Optimizing the Functional Utility of Afrocentric Intellectual Production
    I OPTIMIZING THE FUNCTIONAL UTILITY OF AFROCENTRIC INTELLECTUAL PRODUCTION: THE SIGNIFIGANCE OF SYSTEMIC RACE CONSCIOUSNESS & NECESSITY OF A SEPARETIST EPISTEMOLOGICAL STANDPOINT A Thesis Submitted to The Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts By Zachary Brooks May 2018 II ABSTRACT This research aims to reinforce the functional aspect of the Afrocentric paradigm by coupling the development of Afrocentric consciousness with a systemic race consciousness so that the intellectual production coming out of the discipline of Africology can more practically address the needs of Afrikan people under the contemporary system of white supremacy. By examining strengths and limitations of some existing theories and concepts within Black Studies, the goal of this examination becomes to more effectively address the problems of the epistemic convergence Eurocentrism structurally imposes on Afrikan people seeking liberation. Through an examination of how the cultural logic of racism/white supremacy has determined the shape and character of institutions within the United States, this work will argue that the most constructive political disposition for an Afrocentrist to take is one of separatist nationalism. The argument being made is that this ideological component is a necessary catalyst to produce Afrocentric scholarship that has optimal functional utility toward the goal of achieving sustainable liberation for Afrikan people from the Maafa. Keywords: Afrocentricity, Separatism, Race

  • Jewish-Muslim Relations in History
    APPENDIX I JEWISH-MUSLIM RELATIONS IN HISTORY JEWS PROSPERED IN THE ENORMOUS ARAB EMPIRE, participated in its “commer- cial revolution,” and were transformed by the “bourgeois revolution,” that socioeco- nomic transformation by which they ceased being what they always had been, a fundamentally rural people of farmers and craftsmen, and earned their livelihood as ur- banites in commerce and finance as well as crafts. The huge Geniza collection of docu- ments from 700 to 1100—found in Fustat, Old Cairo, Egypt at the end of the nineteenth century—shows that the mass of the Jewish population was involved in trade, the characteristic unit being small, the family firm or partnerships, and that they had plenty of competition from Greeks, Armenians, Syrians, and others, that these very small commercial fry operated on a shoestring of capital but with much support by coreligionists in the Diaspora. Jews were also artisans. No less than 265 crafts have been identified as being practiced by Jews, which is a suggestive index of how extensive Jewish participation in crafts and industry was and how advanced and specialized indus- try was in the Islamic world; the Geniza material indicates an astonishing total of about 450 professions and callings among Jews. That material also dispels the long-dominant “idea that banking during the Middle Ages consisted mainly of money lending and that the Jews were the Rothschilds of the Islamic world.”1 This myth owed much to the French scholar Louis Massignon, who unfortunately followed Werner Sombart in con- cluding that “the prohibition of usury caused the trade in money to be monopolized in the Muslim world, first by Christians, then by the Jews.”2 In contrast to medieval Christianity, Islam was very accepting of commerce and the merchant; after all, Muhammad was a merchant.

  • Women's Access to Political Power in Ancient Egypt And
    WOMEN’S ACCESS TO POLITICAL POWER IN ANCIENT EGYPT AND IGBOLAND: A CRITICAL STUDY A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Antwanisha V. Alameen January 2013 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Molefi Kete Asante, Advisory Chair, African American Studies Dr. Ama Mazama, African American Studies Dr. Kimmika Williams-Witherspoon, Theater Dr. Adisa Alkebulan, External Member, San Diego State University i Copyright By Antwanisha Alameen 2012 All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT This is an Afrocentric examination of women’s use of agency in Ancient Egypt and Igboland. Most histories written on Kemetic women not only disconnect them from Africa but also fail to fully address the significance of their position within the political spiritual structure of the state. Additionally, the presence of matriarchy in Ancient Egypt is dismissed on the basis that patriarchy is the most visible and seemingly the most dominant form of governance. Diop contended that matriarchy was one of the key factors that connected Ancient Egypt with other parts of Africa which is best understood as the Africa’s cultural continuity theory. My research analyzes the validity of his theory by comparing how Kemetic women exercised agency in their political structure to how Igbo women exercised political agency. I identified Igbo women as a cultural group to be compared to Kemet because of their historical political resistance in their state during the colonial period. However, it is their traditional roles prior to British invasion that is most relevant to my study. I define matriarchy as the central role of the mother in the social and political function of societal structures, the political positions occupied by women that inform the decisions of the state and the inclusion of female principles within the religious-political order of the nation.

  • Download the African American History Readings List
    In the Age of Social Media and national chaos, almost everyone holds and shares passionate opinions on race and politics in America. However, as technology-driven platforms routinely encourage sound bites and abridged nuggets of communication as standard forms of information sharing, people often accept and pass along headlines and briefs as the primary informants to their perspectives and miss out on deep reading. This does not mean people do not want or have an interest in more comprehensive insight. In fact, this list was compiled in response to common requests for reading recommendations in Black history. The nation is transforming and all kinds of people are seeking to make sense of the world in which they find themselves. There is also an ever-growing movement to build a new one. But, how? The first step medical doctors usually take in determining a route toward healing and general wellness is to reference an individual’s medical history. Perhaps, then, a serious, honest and deep study of Africans in United States and world history will be one of our society’s most decisive steps toward general wellness. So much of this list is comprised of writings from Ancestors, activists, historians, scholars, creatives and others who, with time-consuming effort and minimal compensation, recorded major epochs, events and issues within the Black experience. To ignore their work is to ensure our demise. Semi-understanding race and the making of America will lead to futile opinions without solutions and more cycles of the same. Remember, a valuable doctor is an intensely informed one, and we must all serve as surgeons operating for a new day with a new heartbeat.

  • Pan-Africanism and Feminism in the Early 20Th Century British Colonial Caribbean Rhoda Reddock
    58 | Feminist Africa 19 The first Mrs Garvey: Pan-Africanism and feminism in the early 20th century British colonial Caribbean Rhoda Reddock It is puzzling to most feminist historians of the British colonial Caribbean that histories of pan-Africanism could be written without examining the extensive contribution of women.1 This concern is echoed by pan-Africanist scholar Horace Campbell when he notes that its ideological history has tended to focus on the contribution of great heroes, mostly males, an approach which denies the link to a broader social movement and the role of women (Campbell, 1994:286). This article examines the complementary and contradictory relationship between pan-Africanism and early feminism in the British Caribbean colonies. In highlighting the work and life of one pan-Africanist, feminist Caribbean woman, this article does not seek to propose a counter-history of great women. It seeks rather to distinguish the specific contributions made by one woman feminist – among a host of many others – to these social movements in local and international contexts and to explore the reasons why these movements provided such possibilities and the contradictions involved. The focus on Amy Ashwood Garvey highlights not just her individual significance but also allows us to acknowledge the work of countless other women (and men), some mentioned in this text, who have been excluded from the meta- narratives of these early movements. So pervasive is this narrative that Michelle Stephens in a recent review noted: The discovery of a persistent, structural, never ending, never deviating, masculinist gender politics in the discourse of black internationalism reveals a pattern that one can only explain through a deeper structural analysis of the very gendering of constructions of global blackness.
