  • Internationalization of African American History
    1 A conference sponsored by the American Historical Association and the National Museum of African American History and Culture with funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities and HISTORY™ The Future of the African American Past May 19-21, 2016 Washington, DC Forging Freedoms: Internationalization of African American History T. Ruby Patterson Myers, Vanderbilt University Available online at https://futureafampast.si.edu/conference-papers © Do not cite or circulate without the author’s permission Introduction In the last twenty-five years, there has been a seismic shift in the writing of African American history. Scholars in diplomatic, labor, women’s, and cultural history have begun to explore the impact of African Americans on struggles for freedom around the world, and the impact of international movements on African Americans. Wars, military service, and ideological currents such as Pan-Africanism, communism, human rights, and anti-colonialism influence the visions of freedom for individuals and organizations. This essay will focus on women, and the ideological movements that shaped their visions and practices. An examination of these women’s lives will highlight the global scope of their struggles for freedom at home and abroad. A growing body of work has appeared that brings the gendered and class contours of internationalism out of the shadows. In his study of the shared struggle for freedom in the United States and India, historian Nico Slate defines colored cosmopolitanism as an “interconnectedness of African American and South Asian freedom struggles . understood within the larger history of racism and antiracism, of empire 2 and anti-imperialism, of civil rights and human rights, and in connection with key global events, such as the First and Second World Wars and the Cold War.”1 This study is one from an immense body of work that has appeared in the last quarter century internationalizing African American history.

  • Black Women Historians from the Late 19Th Century to the Dawning of the Civil Rights Movement
    BLACK WOMEN HISTORIANS FROM THE LATE 19TH CENTURY TO THE DAWNING OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT by Pero Gaglo Dagbovie* From the 1890s through the first half of the 20th century, black women historians overcame a different set of barriers than their male counterparts in earning their doctorates, publishing, securing employment, receiving professorial promotions, and gaining respect in academia. In 1925, at the age of sixty-six, Anna Julia Cooper became the first African American vk^oman to earn a doctorate in history (University of Paris, Sorbonne). In 1940, more than a decade after Cooper's monumental accomplishment, Marion Thompson Wright became the first African American woman to earn a Ph.D. in history (Columbia University) in the United States. The significant lapse in time between W. E. B. Du Bois earning his doctorate in history (Harvard University, 1895) and Anna Julia Cooper and Marion Thompson Wright receiving theirs is neither surprising nor difficult to explain. Historically, African American women have faced significant opposition from various fronts in pursuing and attaining higher education, especially in elite graduate programs. During what Rayford Logan deemed the "nadir of black life," the formative years for black intellectuals in William Banks's estimation, black women were widely and often systematically excluded from participating in mainstream U.S. and African American academic culture.^ From the 1880s through the 1950s, as Stephanie Shaw has demonstrated, black women professionals were carefully socialized to work in the "feminized professions—as social workers, librarians, nurses, and teachers."^ During these times especially, black women in the historical profession and academia as a whole faced multiple forms of oppression, including sexism and racism, and in some cases class discrimination.

  • Toward an Intellectual History of Black Women Mia E
    Toward an Intellectual History of Black Women Mia E. Bay, Farah J. Griffin, Martha S. Jones, Barbara Dianne Savage Published by The University of North Carolina Press Bay, M. E. & Griffin, F. J. & Jones, M. S. & Savage, B. D.. Toward an Intellectual History of Black Women. Chapel Hill: The University of North Carolina Press, 2015. Project MUSE., https://muse.jhu.edu/. For additional information about this book https://muse.jhu.edu/book/39478 Access provided by The University of British Columbia Library (10 Feb 2017 21:16 GMT) Introduction Toward an Intellectual History of Black Women MIA BAY, FARAH J. GRIFFIN, MARTHA S. JONES, AND BARBARA D. SAVAGE Since the 1773 publication of Phillis Wheatley’s Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral, black women artists, activists, and intellectuals have provided critical insight into issues of national and global importance. Shaped by lives lived at the crossroads of race, gender, and justice, their ideas have been distinctive but often ignored. Only with the explosion of black feminist literary criticism in the 1970s and 1980s did Wheatley and other African American women writers begin to receive serious scholarly attention, much of which was dedicated to challenging the exclusion of such writers from the traditional literary canons. Still, despite increased visibility that pioneering works by brilliant critics such as Barbara Chris- tian and Nellie McKay brought to black women writers from Wheatley to Toni Morrison, black women thinkers remain largely neglected outside of the fi eld of literary criticism.1 Historical scholarship on black women especially has yet to map the broad contours of their political and social thought in any detail, or to examine their distinctive intellectual tradition as often self- educated thinkers with a sustained history of wrestling with both sexism and racism.
