  • A General Model of Illicit Market Suppression A
    ALL THE SHIPS THAT NEVER SAILED: A GENERAL MODEL OF ILLICIT MARKET SUPPRESSION A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Government. By David Joseph Blair, M.P.P. Washington, DC September 15, 2014 Copyright 2014 by David Joseph Blair. All Rights Reserved. The views expressed in this dissertation do not reflect the official policy or position of the United States Air Force, Department of Defense, or the U.S. Government. ii ALL THE SHIPS THAT NEVER SAILED: A GENERAL MODEL OF TRANSNATIONAL ILLICIT MARKET SUPPRESSION David Joseph Blair, M.P.P. Thesis Advisor: Daniel L. Byman, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This model predicts progress in transnational illicit market suppression campaigns by comparing the relative efficiency and support of the suppression regime vis-à-vis the targeted illicit market. Focusing on competitive adaptive processes, this ‘Boxer’ model theorizes that these campaigns proceed cyclically, with the illicit market expressing itself through a clandestine business model, and the suppression regime attempting to identify and disrupt this model. Success in disruption causes the illicit network to ‘reboot’ and repeat the cycle. If the suppression network is quick enough to continually impose these ‘rebooting’ costs on the illicit network, and robust enough to endure long enough to reshape the path dependencies that underwrite the illicit market, it will prevail. Two scripts put this model into practice. The organizational script uses two variables, efficiency and support, to predict organizational evolution in response to competitive pressures.

  • Africa’ Within the Diaspora: the Significance of the Relationship Between Haiti and Free Africans of Philadelphia Following the Haitian Revolution
    LOCATING ‘AFRICA’ WITHIN THE DIASPORA: THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HAITI AND FREE AFRICANS OF PHILADELPHIA FOLLOWING THE HAITIAN REVOLUTION A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Maria Ifetayo Flannery May, 2016 Examining Committee Members: Molefi Kete Asante, Advisory Chair, Africology & African America Studies Kimani Nehusi, Africology & African American Studies Benjamin Talton, History Diane Turner, External Member, Charles L. Blockson Afro-American Collection i © Copyright 2016 by Maria Ifetayo Flannery All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to produce an Africological model that lends attention to epistemological questions in African diaspora research through theoretical and culturally based analysis, ultimately to aid the historical and psychological restoration of Africans in diaspora. This work reflects the theoretical and historic stream of scholarship that centers geographic Africa as the adhesive principle of study in shaping and understanding the cultural and political ally-ship between different African diasporic communities. My aim is to illustrate what Africa represents in diaspora and how it was shaped in the conscious minds and actions of early Africans in diaspora from their own vantage point. Secondly, through a case study of the intra-diasporic relationship between Haiti and free Africans of Philadelphia following the Haitian Revolution, this work lays precedence for the expansion of an African diasporic consciousness. The significance of the intra-diasporic relationship is in the mutual recognition that Haitians and Africans in North America considered themselves a common people. Moreover, they developed an international relationship during the early 19th century to serve their mutual interest in African freedom and autonomous development despite Western expansion.

Kerverseau concluded by imploring his fellow “Citizens” to “distrust those who incessantly spread” these rumors and instead to “trust those who are charged with your safety; who guard over 1. In this era the term “Santo Domingo” referred to both the Spanish colony that later became the Dominican Republic and to this colony’s capital city which still bears this name. In this article I will use this term to refer only to the entire colony unless otherwise indicated.

  • African Caribbean Presence 105
    AFRICAN CARIBBEAN PRESENCE 105 African Caribbean Presence: Decolonizing Social Work Education V. C. Rhonda Hackett School of Social Work, University of Victoria Abstract The article discusses the decolonization of social work education from an intersectional African Caribbean lens in the context of ongoing colonization of Indigenous lands and peoples of Turtle Island (also known as North America). An African Caribbean approach to decolonizing social work education raises important questions about the need to attend to the maintenance of the humanity of people of African descent across the diaspora as we engage in this process and project of decolonizing social work education. A gap in social work literature addressing the knowledge, lived experience, and social realities of African Caribbean peoples can be attributed to the centralization of western values and ideas in social work education even as it critiques colonialism and anti-Black racism. Keywords: African Caribbean, migration, decolonizing, social work education, social injury I am engaging in this discussion about the decolonization of social work education across many spaces, and it is important that I provide some context to those spaces. I was born in Trinidad and Tobago and my Ancestors are of African and Caribbean descent. I migrated to Toronto, the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit, that has also been home to many nations including the Anishnabeg, Chippewa, Haudenosaunee, and Wendat peoples. As an arrivant to Turtle Island I am an African Caribbean descendant of stolen peoples, and I respectfully acknowledge that currently I live and work on the stolen traditional territories of the Lekwungen peoples.

  • 1863 by DANIEL JASON DEGGES
    BLACK SKIN, WHITE MONEY: THE TRANSATLANTIC PROPAGANDA CAMPAIGN TO RECOLONIZE WEST AFRICA 1786 - 1863 by DANIEL JASON DEGGES DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History at The University of Texas at Arlington May 2020 Arlington, Texas Supervising Committee: Imre Demhardt, Supervising Professor Kenyon Zimmer Christopher Morris Sam Haynes ABSTRACT BLACK SKIN/WHITE MONEY: THE TRANSATLANTIC PROPAGANDA CAMPAIGN TO RECOLONIZE WEST AFRICA 1786 -1863 Daniel Jason Degges, Ph.D. The University of Texas at Arlington, 2020 Supervising Professors: Imre Demhardt, Kenyon Zimmer, Christopher Morris, and Sam Haynes Previous scholarship has mostly left the story of recolonization of former slaves and Free People of Color to West Africa in the dustbin of history. These studies also have artificially separated the multiple failed attempts into the story of either Sierra Leone or Liberia. This dissertation, for the first time, looks comprehensively and comparatively at the transatlantic propaganda campaign that accompanied each wave of support and resulting failures and the part it played in the success of the abolition movement. Ever marching westward from its London roots, recolonization’s boosters repeatedly tried to build on an imagined community that had little to do with the realities in West Africa. At its heart, the propaganda campaign offered a chance to avoid the perceived problems with a bi-racial society and the expected economic collapse with the end of slave-based capitalism. Recolonization, rather than integration, was the perceived solution to the fears of the destruction of the white race at the hands of their black-skinned countrymen.
