Richter, Ph.D. Member of dissertation committee ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Mississippi River first hooked me when I chose to read The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn for a fifth grade book report, and though I did not comprehend much of Twain’s humor and social criticism, my ten-year-old self loved to imagine life aboard Huck and Jim’s raft. Writing this dissertation a few decades later has entailed less dangerous, though still quite engaging, adventures of travel, research, and intellectual encounter. Fortunately, I have had many companions and guides along the way. Christine Heyrman has been a tireless mentor and advocate throughout my time at the University of Delaware. I cannot praise her highly enough for her support, wisdom, and wit, or for the myriad ways she steered this project away from untold disasters. And though I know she did not plan it this way, her most recent book, American Apostles, appeared precisely at the moment when I needed to be reminded of how historians can write gripping, elegant prose. Anne Boylan and Peter Kolchin provided coaching, bountiful encouragement, and endless rounds of reference letters. I am grateful for their intellectual rigor and constructive guidance. Dan Richter, who observed my earliest fumbling efforts to articulate my ideas as a new grad student and who, nonetheless, kindly agreed to read this work in its final stages, has been an exemplar of generosity. I could not ask for a more insightful, gracious dissertation committee. Meeting Tangi Villerbu early in the writing process was amazingly fortuitous. He directed me toward key archives in France and the Mississippi River Valley, schooled me iv in Catholicism, and connected me with other scholars who work on the region. Most of all, he was a steady, resourceful conversation partner as I sorted through my ideas. For his friendship and for his mentoring I am immensely grateful. I received an astonishing amount of support to conduct research for this project. With gratitude I acknowledge grant and fellowship funding from the American Antiquarian Society, the American Historical Association, the Clement Library at the University of Michigan, the Cushwa Center at the University of Notre Dame, the Filson Historical Society, the Huntington Library, the King V. Hostick Scholarship at the Illinois State Historical Society, the John S. McIllhenny Library Research Fellowship at Louisiana State University, the Newberry Library, the New Orleans Center for the Gulf South at Tulane University, and the Lynn E. May, Jr. Study Grant at the Southern Baptist Historical Library and Archives. At the University of Delaware I received additional research and writing support through the History Department and the Office of Graduate and Professional Education, including a Global Research Travel Award that enabled me to conduct research in France. Librarians and archivists have been essential collaborators as I have researched and honed this dissertation. I appreciate their patience, insights, and openhandedness, and acknowledge especially Ashley Cataldo at the American Antiquarian Society, Rena Schergen at the Archives of the Archdiocese of St. Louis, Morgen MacIntosh Hodgetts at DePaul University’s Special Collections, Tara Laver at LSU’s Hill Memorial Library, Daniel Hammer at the Historic New Orleans Collection, Noémie Marijon at Bibliothèque du séminaire provincial de Lyon - Saint Irénée, Odile Lolom at Archives des Œuvres Pontificales Missionnaires, and Tricia Pyne and Alison Foley at the Associated Archives v of St. Mary’s Seminary & University. The archivists at the Society of the Sacred Heart charmed me with their genuine interest in my work, their frank explanations of Catholic terminology, and their hospitality. My deep thanks to Lyn Osiek, Mary Louise Gavan, and Michael Pera in St. Louis; Mary Blish in New Orleans; and Margaret Phelan and Federica Palumbo in Rome. Thanks to the Peter R. D'Agostino Research Travel Grant, I had the privilege of spending two weeks studying and visiting archives in Rome through the American Catholicism in a World Made Small: Transnational Approaches to U.S. Catholic History seminar in June 2014, sponsored by the University of Notre Dame’s Cushwa Center. A Consortium Fellowship from the McNeil Center for Early American Studies at the University of Pennsylvania in 2014–2015 supported my writing and brought me in contact with a delightful array of scholars who challenged and heartened me. I gratefully acknowledge Steve Marti’s guidance in map-making, and translation help from Maxime Dagenais, Nathan Marvin, Claire Parfait, José Sanchez, and Tangi Villerbu, though I take full responsibility for any errors. In the History Department office at the University of Delaware, Diane Clark, Pat Orendorf, and Doug Tobias helped me navigate all manner of bureaucratic messiness. I have been blessed to have a great crowd of fellow travelers on this dissertation- writing journey. For their warm encouragement, commiseration, and sparkling ideas, I thank Jeffery Appelhans, Nicole Belolan, Julie Fisher, Brendan Gillis, Alyce Graham, Chris Graham, Sarah Gronningsater, Amanda Guidotti, Sonia Hazard, Amy Kohout, Asli Menevse, Max Mishler, Carolyn Roberts, Rachel Trocchio, Rachel Walker, Jamin Wells, Nate Wiewora, Jim Woytek, and the Historians are Writers! group at Cornell University. vi I am also grateful to Jim Brophy, Luca Codignola, Jeff Cowie, Rebecca Dolch, David Freidenreich, Jennifer Orleans, John Pritchard, Larry Rasmussen, Aaron Sachs, David Silverman, and Hal Taussig for sharing their support, wisdom, and good cheer. For hospitality and conviviality during my research trips and conferences, my thanks to Diana and Marlin Anthony, Lisa Bandel, Julia Bloch, Marshall Curry and Elizabeth Martin, Paul Delnero, Brian Dixon, Rufus Fowler and Sarah Noble, Kipp and Cathy Gilmore- Clough, Eleanor Harrison and Peter Bregman, Jessica Linker, Lily Santoro, Kristen Green Wiewora, and Brandon Woods. Calvary UMC in West Philadelphia, Forest Home Chapel in Ithaca, and Communitas de Jubilate have nourished my soul in innumerable ways. My family of (mostly) engineering-types adjusted to my becoming a historian. I thank them for their care, support, and inquisitiveness through a process that seemed both endless and odd to them. I have dedicated this dissertation to my two grandmothers: my mother’s mother, Ruth King Myers, who passed away during my first semester as a Ph.D. student, and my father’s mother, Faith Wayne Pearson. These two strong, loving women have been tremendous role models for me. Breno Barlach, Alana Staiti, and Josi Ward buoyed me during the final year of writing. Their friendship is priceless to me. Jarrett Anthony has sustained me throughout my time in graduate school on both material and metaphysical levels. I thank him for his excitement about my work when my own energy flagged and his faith in me. I learn from him daily. I am blessed to share my life with someone of such integrity, intellectual curiosity, passion, and empathy. vii For Faith and in memory of Ruth viii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF FIGURES ............................................................................................................x LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS ........................................................................................... xi ABSTRACT ...................................................................................................................

  • Blacks and Asians in Mississippi Masala, Barriers to Coalition Building
    Both Edges of the Margin: Blacks and Asians in Mississippi Masala, Barriers to Coalition Building Taunya Lovell Bankst Asians often take the middle position between White privilege and Black subordination and therefore participate in what Professor Banks calls "simultaneous racism," where one racially subordinatedgroup subordi- nates another. She observes that the experience of Asian Indian immi- grants in Mira Nair's film parallels a much earlier Chinese immigrant experience in Mississippi, indicatinga pattern of how the dominantpower uses law to enforce insularityamong and thereby control different groups in a pluralistic society. However, Banks argues that the mere existence of such legal constraintsdoes not excuse the behavior of White appeasement or group insularityamong both Asians and Blacks. Instead,she makes an appealfor engaging in the difficult task of coalition-buildingon political, economic, socialand personallevels among minority groups.

  • Xenophobia, Nativism and Pan-Africanism in 21St Century Africa
    H-Africa Xenophobia, Nativism and Pan-Africanism in 21st Century Africa Document published by Sabella Abidde on Wednesday, June 17, 2020 cfp-2-xenophobianativismpanafricanism.pdf cfp-2-xenophobianativismpanafricanism.pdf Description: CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTERS Xenophobia, Nativism and Pan-Africanism in 21st Century Africa Sabella Abidde and Emmanuel Matambo (Editors) The purpose of this project is to examine the mounting incidence of xenophobia and nativism across the African continent. Second, it seeks to examine how invidious and self-immolating xenophobia and nativism negate the noble intent of Pan-Africanism. Finally, it aims to examine the implications of the resentments, the physical and mental attacks, and the incessant killings on the psyche, solidarity, and development of the Black World. According to Michael W. Williams, Pan-Africanism is the cooperative movement among peoples of African origin to unite their efforts in the struggle to liberate Africa and its scattered and suffering people; to liberate them from the oppression and exploitation associated with Western hegemony and the international expansionism of the capitalist system. Xenophobia, on the other hand, is the loathing or fear of foreigners with a violent component in the form of periodic attacks and extrajudicial killings committed mostly by native-born citizens. Nativism is the policy and or laws designed to protect the interests of native-born citizens or established residents. The project intends to argue that xenophobia and nativism negate the intent, aspiration, and spirit of Pan-Africanism as expressed by early proponents such as Edward Blyden, W.E.B. Du Bois, C.L.R. James, George Padmore, Léopold Senghor, Jomo Kenyatta, Aimé Césaire, and Kwame Nkrumah.

  • Bernard Martial & Philippine Duchesne
    BERNARD MARTIAL and PHILIPPINE DUCHESNE: TWO MISSIONARIES to LOUISIANA By Emory C. Webre 6542 Winnebago Street St. Louis, MO 63109 [email protected] Father Bertrand (Bernard) Martial, a priest from Bordeaux, France, served under bishops in four dioceses on two continents and was closely connected with important events in the dioceses of Bordeaux, Bardstown, New Orleans, St. Louis, and Detroit, as well activities in France and Italy. There are at least 83 documents in the files of the Propaganda Fide in Rome that are related to him in some way. I have located close to 250 letters from, to, or about him written during the years 1817 to 1835. He influenced the selection of one bishop in the United States and the rejection of another, and was himself considered for the Sees of New Orleans and Vincennes. He founded schools in Bordeaux, Baton Rouge and New Orleans. He escorted a future saint on her voyage to New Orleans and St. Louis. He was associated with three communities of religious women: the Religious of the Sacred Heart in St. Louis, Missouri, the Ursulines in New Orleans, Louisiana, and the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth, Kentucky. 1. FATHER BERNARD MARTIAL Born in Bordeaux, France about 1770, Bertrand Martial studied for the priesthood, first, in France, and then in Italy when the French Revolution forced the closing of Catholic seminaries. A death notice in the Paris journal, l’Ami de la religion et du roi, gave some details of his life before he came to Louisiana. The death of Father Martial, in New Orleans, has stirred fitting remorse in Bordeaux, where he lived for some time, and where he rendered services that will not be forgotten.

AFRICANS, CHEROKEES, AND THE ABCFM MISSIONARIES IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY: AN UNUSUAL STORY OF REDEMPTION By Gnimbin Albert Ouattara Under the Direction of Charles G. Steffen ABSTRACT My dissertation, “Africans, Cherokees, and the ABCFM Missionaries in the Nineteenth Century: An Unusual Story of Redemption,” assesses the experience of American missionaries in the Cherokee nation and in Western Africa during the nineteenth century. The American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM), founded in 1810, was the first successful foreign missionary society in the U.S., and its campaign among the Cherokees served as springboard for its activities in “Western Africa”—Liberia, Ivory Coast, Gabon, and South Africa. Although the Cherokees and the West Africans were two different peoples, the ABCFM used the same method to Christianize them: the Lancasterian method with which the missionaries planned to “civilize” the Cherokees and West Africans before Christianizing them.
