    PART THREE Creating and Communicating Movement History: Methodology and Theory HASAN KWAME JEFFRIES Remaking History Barack Obama, Political Cartoons, and the Civil Rights Movement n the forty- !"h anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have Oa Dream” speech, which he delivered on August #$, %&'(, during the March on Washington, Barack Obama accepted the Democratic Party’s nom- ination for president of the United States. In doing so, he became the !rst African American to earn the top spot on a major political party’s presiden- tial ticket. This historical twist of fate was not lost on Obama, but in keeping with his campaign strategy, which called for him to avoid discussing race, he downplayed the happenstance, alluding to it only with a passing refer- ence to “a young preacher from Georgia.”) The media, however, did not hesi- tate to point out the coincidence, freely invoking the spirit of King and the March on Washington. Political cartoonists re*ected this tendency in their work. While covering Obama’s nomination, they made frequent reference to that historic day nearly half a century earlier. Cartoonist R. J. Matson, for example, published a piece the day before Obama’s acceptance speech that featured King, standing on steps not unlike those of the Lincoln Memorial (from which King delivered his most famous speech), holding an oversized replica of Obama’s campaign emblem high above his head., Allusions to King and the March on Washington made by those covering Obama’s campaign neither began nor ended with the Democratic National Convention. Instead, they spanned the full length of Obama’s run for the White House, starting in earnest the day he announced his candidacy in Feb- ruary #--.

Actionable ideas for policies that affect our security and our relations with the world. This is the Wilson Center – and we’ve never been more needed than we are today.” Jane Harman Director, President, and CEO Dear friends, It is with great pleasure and pride that we share our annual report.

By leveraging deep experience in government, academia, and other sectors, our experts and fellows offer strictly nonpartisan insight – and trusted foresight – in international relations, security and defense, trade, conflict-resolution, and much more. We encourage you to learn more about our work and our experts and fellows, and rely on them as a resource and a value- addition to you and your own work. They are at the heart of why the Wilson Center is ranked the #1 regional studies think tank and one of the top overall think tanks in the world.

  • Yemen's Revolutionary Moment, Collective Memory and Contentious
    The London School of Economics and Political Science Citizen Revolt for a Modern State: Yemen’s Revolutionary Moment, Collective Memory and Contentious Politics sur la longue durée Tobias Thiel A thesis submitted to the Department of International History of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, 2015 Yemen’s Revolutionary Moment, Collective Memory and Contentious Politics | 2 DECLARATION I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 98,247 words. Yemen’s Revolutionary Moment, Collective Memory and Contentious Politics | 3 ABSTRACT 2011 became a year of revolt for the Middle East and North Africa as a series of popular uprisings toppled veteran strongmen that had ruled the region for decades. The contentious mobilisations not only repudiated orthodox explanations for the resilience of Arab autocracy, but radically asserted the ‘political imaginary’ of a sovereign and united citizenry, so vigorously encapsulated in the popular slogan al-shaʿb yurīd isqāṭ al-niẓām (the people want to overthrow the system).
