Their patience and uncomplaining sacri­ fices through difficult times have been the primary sources of inspiration and determination to go on when it would have been easier to quit. The several hundred students who have passed through my classes at Phillips University, Enid, Oklahoma, in the past ten years must also be mentioned as an unfailing source of enthusiasm. The fact that several of them have gone on to achieve their graduate degrees in history has been a compelling force to finish my own. But the greatest accolades must be reserved for a true patron-saint, Mrs. Grace Bergman of San Rafael, California. In the summer of 1954, she appeared at my door with a generous offer which resulted in my belated matriculation at a nearby university, and which has been a dominant force in my life from that date. The following pages are dedi­ cated to her generosity and many kindnesses which have been singularly responsible for what follows.

  • A Way of Life Knowledge Production Among Black Cowboys
    A WAY OF LIFE: KNOWLEDGE PRODUCTION AMONG BLACK COWBOYS A Dissertation by MYESHIA CHANEL BABERS Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Cynthia A. Werner Committee Members, Tom Green David A. Donkor Joseph O. Jewell Head of Department, Cynthia A. Werner December 2017 Major Subject: Anthropology Copyright 2017 Myeshia Chanel Babers ABSTRACT This project is an ethnography that engages participants and readers in multifaceted and multi-vocal formations of black masculinity and manhood in Western culture. I will present narratives set in different venues for black Western cultural practices where black cowboys communicate information about gender roles and norms. I represent black masculinities among three groups, or types of cowboys— ranchers, rodeo cowboys, and Trail riders— to capture multiple masculinities. In this study, I define black cowboys as Black/African-Americans who participate in ranching, rodeoing, and trailriding. I also make references to Black women who participate in these Western cultural practices and I consider them to be cowboys as well. My broader research question asks how black men transmit cultural information about masculinity through black Western cultural practices. I examine intimate moments of exchange among some groups of contemporary cowboys and look at mechanisms they use to shift racist ideologies. Where knowledge is currency, the person who understands how social and cultural capital is at stake is also able to code switch and maintain a balance in social-cultural differences of opinion. As a black cowboy, the professional rodeo roper destabilizes notions of blackness.

  • Episode 11, Bill Pickett Saddle, Oklahoma Tukufu Zuberi
    Episode 11, Bill Pickett Saddle, Oklahoma Tukufu Zuberi: Our first story examines a worn saddle that may have crossed the color barrier in the American West. The Cherokee Strip in the Oklahoma Territory, June 11, 1905. Thirty trains bring 65,000 visitors to the famous 101 Ranch for a wild west show to outclass all wild west shows. Cowboys roping and bronc-busting, Cossacks riding and Geronimo shooting his last buffalo from a moving car. But the star of the show is the African American cowboy, Bill Pickett. In an astonishing display he jumps from the horse at full gallop onto the back of a 1000 pound steer. Then, in an audience stunning act, he literally bites the steer on the lip and hauls it to the ground. It's a stunt he is soon performing around the world. At a time when a color divide segregated the nation, Bill Pickett became an audience favorite and trampled the boundaries between black and white. A woman in Staten Island, New York, who collects African American historical artifacts believes she has a saddle Bill Pickett rode as he performed around the world, and helped transform how we thought about race. I'm Tukufu Zuberi and I'm meeting Elizabeth Meaders to see what she's found. Elizabeth Meaders: Well, what we have here, I hope, is an actual Bill Pickett owned and used saddle. I bought it from an auction house in Pennsylvania. Tukufu: According to them, this is a Bill Pickett saddle? Elizabeth: In the catalog it was described as being slightly worn on the right hand side of the saddle, where Bill Pickett slid off to do his bulldogging act.
