  • A History of Mixed-Race Women in the United States During the Early Twentieth Century
    Of Double-Blooded Birth: A History of Mixed-Race Women in the United States during the Early Twentieth Century Jemma Grace Carter Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in American Studies at the University of East Anglia, School of Arts, Media, and American Studies January 2020 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived therefrom must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. Abstract Often homogenised into broader narratives of African-American history, the historical experience of mixed-race women of black-white descent forms the central research focus of this thesis. Examining the lives of such women offers a valuable insight into how notions of race, class, gender and physical aesthetics were understood, articulated and negotiated throughout the United States during the early-twentieth century. Through an analysis of wide-ranging primary source material, from letters, diaries and autobiographies to advertisements, artwork and unpublished poetry, this thesis provides an interdisciplinary contribution to the field of Critical Mixed Race Studies, and African- American history. It builds on existing interpretations of the Harlem Renaissance by considering the significance of mixed-racial heritage on the formation of literature produced by key individuals over the period. Moreover, this research reveals that many of the visual and literary sources typically studied in isolation in fact informed one another, and had a profound impact on how factors such as beauty, citizenship, and respectability intersected, and specifically influenced the lives of mixed-race women.

Sonnichsen Special Collections Department University of Texas at El Paso Historical Sketch The Vietnam War (1954 – 1975) was a military conflict between the communist North Vietnamese (Viet Cong) and its allies and the government of South Vietnam and its allies (mainly the United States). The North Vietnamese sought to unify Vietnam under a communist regime, while South Vietnam wanted to retain its government, which was aligned with the West. The war was also a result of the ongoing Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States. On July 2, 1976 the North Vietnamese united the country after the South Vietnamese government surrendered on April 30. Millions of soldiers and civilians were killed during the Vietnam War.

  • Female War Correspondents in Vietnam: a Turning Point for Women in American Journalism
    FEMALE WAR CORRESPONDENTS IN VIETNAM: A TURNING POINT FOR WOMEN IN AMERICAN JOURNALISM By Natalia J. Haller A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Social Science Emphasis: Teaching American History May, 2006 FEMALE CORRESPONDENTS IN THE VIETNAM WAR: A TURNING POINT FOR WOMEN IN AMERICAN JOURNALISM by Natalia J. Haller Approved by the Master’s Thesis Committee: Delores McBroome, Major Professor Date Gayle Olson-Raymer, Committee Member Date Rodney Sievers, Committee Member Date Delores McBroome, Graduate Coordinator Date Donna E. Schafer, Dean for Research and Graduate Studies Date ABSTRACT Considering the amount of literature written on the Vietnam War, it is confounding that female war correspondents have failed to make a significant entry into historical accounts of the conflict. Part of the challenge when searching for literature on the female war correspondent in Vietnam is that historically, war and journalism have been considered a man’s area of expertise. Much of the literature written about reporters in Vietnam reflects this sentiment. This perception was transformed during the Vietnam War by an unprecedented number of courageous women who broke the stereotypes to become successful wartime correspondents. Unrestricted access to the fighting proved to be an opportunity for women journalists. Four hundred and sixty seven women became accredited during the war, of which 267 were American. The purpose of my research was to review the literature on various factors that created opportunity for women journalists in Vietnam and develop a prosopography of the female war correspondent.

    SEEKING A PLACE IN THE SUN: SEPIA MAGAZINE’S ENDEAVOR FOR QUALITY JOURNALISM AND PLACE IN THE NEGRO MARKET, 1951-1982 by MIA CHANDRA LONG CARYL COOPER, COMMITTEE CHAIR GEORGE DANIELS KARLA K. GOWER MARGOT O. LAMME LENITA M. DAVIS A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the College of Communication & Information Sciences in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2011 Copyright Mia Chandra Long 2011 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Sepia magazine began in Fort Worth, Texas in 1947 as Negro Achievements , a magazine highlighting African American success articles and featuring reader-submitted true confessions stories. In 1951, two years after the death of its black founder, Horace J. Blackwell, Sepia found new leadership in white business mogul, George Levitan. With Levitan’s guidance, the magazine became the longest standing competitor to the more successful African American magazine, Ebony . This dissertation chronicles the history of Sepia magazine by discussing its editorial philosophy, comparing its editorial content to that featured in Ebony , and highlighting factors that potentially led to its failure. Previous studies provide information on Sepia ’s portrayal of African American women, Viet Nam coverage, and overall history. However, all prior research excludes the examination of the magazine’s final years, failing to assess the probable reasons for its demise. The current study utilizes magazine content, employee manuscripts, interoffice communication, and news articles in its investigation of the magazine’s life and death throughout the years of its existence, 1951-1982. This dissertation enhances magazine research in a variety of ways.

  • Introduction
    Notes Introduction 1. William W. Baldwin, Mau Mau Man-Hunt: The Adventures of the Only American Who Has Fought the Terrorists in Kenya, New York: Dutton, 1957, 18, 49, 98, 174. 2. New York Times, June 12, 1955. 3. The militant African opposition in Colonial Kenya was denoted as “Mau Mau,” not least by those who fought them. They have also been referred to as the Land and Freedom Army. The origin of the term “Mau Mau” is contested. See e.g., George Bennett, “Revolutionary Kenya: The Fifties, a Review,” Race, 8 (Number 4, 1967): 415–420, 415, MSS/10/87, Kenya National Archives–Nairobi: hereafter noted as KNA: According to this author, the first African who disclosed the existence of the liberation forces in a police station in Naivasha, Kenya, asserted, “ ‘I have been given MUMA,’ an oath. The European being neither able to pronounce nor spell [the term] correctly created his own pronunciation . ‘Mau Mau’.” But see P. Godfrey Okoth, United States of America’s Foreign Policy toward Kenya, 1952–1969, Nairobi: Gideon S. Were Press, 1992, 1: “Mau Mau” writes this author is a “garbled expression referring to a repeti- tion of the word ‘uma’ or ‘get out’ ” Note also the existence of the “Mau Escarpment,” an essential part of the topography of Kenya. Beryl Markham, whose writings about Kenya helped to bring this nation to a wider audience in the North Atlantic commu- nity, spoke wistfully about the “slopes of the Mau.” See Beryl Markham, West with the Night, Surrey, UK: Virago, 1984 [First published in 1942], 136.
