  • Are Just People: Langston Hughes and the Populist Power of African American Literary Journalism
    15 “Just People” are Just People: Langston Hughes and the Populist Power of African American Literary Journalism Joshua M. Roiland University of Notre Dame, United States In the summer of 1937, the Baltimore Afro-American sent a letter to poet and playwright Langston Hughes asking him to travel to Spain and report on black Americans serving in the International Brigades during the Spanish Civil War. Hughes produced thirteen stories for the paper, all of which focused on the everyday experiences of the soldiers. These stories are important to the field of literary journalism studies not only because they broaden the US canon that heretofore has consisted predominantly of white writers, but also because Hughes’s stories illustrate the political significance of a journalistic dedication to the ordinary. Hughes’s report- ing for the Baltimore Afro-American is historically significant because it is an unexplored link between two important pieces of African Ameri- can wartime journalism: W. E. B. Du Bois’s controversial 1918 “Close Ranks” editorial in The Crisis during World War I and the Pittsburgh Courier’s popular “Double V” campaign during World War II. “The poem, the picture, the song is only water drawn from the well of the people and given back to them in a cup of beauty so that they may drink—and in drinking, understand themselves.” —Langston Hughes, radio address “The Alliance of Antifascist Intellectuals, Madrid”1 Literary Journalism Studies Vol. 5, No. 2, Fall 2013 16 Literary Journalism Studies n June 22, 1937, Joe Louis fought James J.

  • Freedom and Unfreedom in the “Garden of America:”
    FREEDOM AND UNFREEDOM IN THE “GARDEN OF AMERICA:” SLAVERY AND ABOLITION IN NEW JERSEY, 1770-1857 by James J. Gigantino II (Under the Direction of Allan Kulikoff) ABSTRACT This dissertation examines abolition in New Jersey between 1770 and 1857. It argues that the American Revolution did not lead white New Jerseyans to abolish slavery. Instead, the Revolutionary War and the years following it reinforced the institution of slavery in the Garden State. This dissertation first focuses on the factors that led New Jersey to pass the Gradual Abolition Act of 1804, specifically the rise of Jeffersonian Republicanism and the influence of Quaker abolition activists and then examines the elongated abolition period which followed the enactment of gradual abolition, beginning with the role of the children born under the law, those who I call slaves for a term. The role these children played in early national America challenges our understandings of slavery and freedom. Instead of a quick abolition process, slaves and slaves for a term in New Jersey continued to serve their masters in significant numbers until the 1840s and then in smaller proportions until the eve of the Civil War. The existence of slavery in a free state challenges our understanding of the rise of capitalism in the early republic as well as the role the North played in debates over nationwide slavery issues beginning in the 1820s. This long-standing relationship to slavery helped prevent the formation of a strong abolitionist base in the 1830s and influenced Northern images of African Americans until the Civil War. Abolition in the North became very much a process, one of fits and starts which stretched from the Revolution to the Civil War and defined how Americans, white and black, understood their place in the new republic.
