The word alien had multiple meanings in Klan terminology, including non-native born Americans (immigrants), those in favor of aggressive secular reform, and qualified individuals who had yet to be naturalized into the realm of the KKK.3 The Klan’s fear of the unknown was fueled by uncertainty and the threats of a quickly changing American society post-World War I. Members of the Ku Klux Klan perceived themselves as exemplars of the highest standards of morality, citizenry and “pure Americanism.” However, this brand of pure Americanism was reserved only for the select Americans that met all the membership 1 Klanswomen Margaret Roth, Gertrude Shaner, Edna Forbes & Viola Brown, Walosas Club Minutes Book 1925-1929, Collections of the Historical Society of Oak Park & River Forest; Klanswoman Margaret Roth, Walosas Club Minutes Book, 2 April 1925. Specific reference to the Walosas Club Minutes will appear as the name of one of the four secretaries followed by Walosas Club Minutes Book and the date. General references to the Walosas Club appear as Klanswomen Roth, Shaner, Forbes & Brown, Walosas Club Minutes Book. 2 Any references to the Klan, male and female participants, or “Klanguage” will have capitalized “Ks” in keeping with the original source material. 3 Nancy MacLean, Behind the Mask of Chivalry: The Making of the Second Ku Klux Klan (New York: Oxford University Press, 1994), 21; Thomas R.

Dee, 2011), 23. 1 2 requirements and promised to uphold the tenets of the Invisible Empire.4 The Klan’s vision of a pure American citizenry was rooted in an exclusive native-born Protestant membership that swore to uphold beliefs in Protestantism, white supremacy and nativism. Additionally, members of the Invisible Empire promised to defend the great American nation and the Klan organization against any alien threat of corruption, impropriety, immorality, or conspiracy.5 Although the revived KKK of the 1910s to 1920s was born in the American South, its influence extended far beyond the region and former Confederate states. The Klan chameleon successfully adapted its message and expanded its dominion across the entire nation and particularly in the urban North. Forty percent of Klansmen hailed from the states of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.6 The revived Klan was no longer a southern fringe extremist group that targeted African-Americans and the perceived invasion of Yankee carpetbaggers. The 1920s Klan was a mainstream movement that appealed en masse to average white native-born Protestant middle-class Americans. In the almost 150 years since the founding of the Invisible Empire, the Ku Klux Klan has produced a scholarly fascination with trying to understand the organization’s 4 The term “Invisible Empire” was coined by the Ku Klux Klan as an alternative name for the organization. The Klan utilized the word “invisible” since the order was envisioned as a secret society. The “empire” portion of the name was to give the impression that the Klan’s reach was expansive. 5 “Principles and Purposes of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan,” Michigan State University Special Collections, 3-4 [HS2330.K63 A34]; See Kelly J.

  • The Negro Press and the Image of Success: 1920-19391 Ronald G
    the negro press and the image of success: 1920-19391 ronald g. waiters For all the talk of a "New Negro," that period between the first two world wars of this century produced many different Negroes, just some of them "new." Neither in life nor in art was there a single figure in whose image the whole race stood or fell; only in the minds of most Whites could all Blacks be lumped together. Chasms separated W. E. B. DuBois, icy, intellectual and increasingly radical, from Jesse Binga, prosperous banker, philanthropist and Roman Catholic. Both of these had little enough in common with the sharecropper, illiterate and bur­ dened with debt, perhaps dreaming of a North where—rumor had it—a man could make a better living and gain a margin of respect. There was Marcus Garvey, costumes and oratory fantastic, wooing the Black masses with visions of Africa and race glory while Father Divine promised them a bi-racial heaven presided over by a Black god. Yet no history of the time should leave out that apostle of occupational training and booster of business, Robert Russa Moton. And perhaps a place should be made for William S. Braithwaite, an aesthete so anonymously genteel that few of his White readers realized he was Black. These were men very different from Langston Hughes and the other Harlem poets who were finding music in their heritage while rejecting capitalistic America (whose chil­ dren and refugees they were). And, in this confusion of voices, who was there to speak for the broken and degraded like the pitiful old man, born in slavery ninety-two years before, paraded by a Mississippi chap­ ter of the American Legion in front of the national convention of 1923 with a sign identifying him as the "Champeen Chicken Thief of the Con­ federate Army"?2 In this cacaphony, and through these decades of alternate boom and bust, one particular voice retained a consistent message, though condi­ tions might prove the message itself to be inconsistent.

  • The Ku Klux Klan in American Politics
    L I B RARY OF THE UN IVERSITY OF ILLINOIS "R3GK. cop. 2. r ILLINOIS HISTORY SURVEY LIBRARY The Ku Klux Klan In American Politics By ARNOLD S. RICE INTRODUCTION BY HARRY GOLDEN Public Affairs Press, Washington, D. C. TO ROSE AND DAVE, JESSIE AND NAT -AND, OF COURSE, TO MARCIA Copyright, 1962, by Public Affairs Press 419 New Jersey Avenue, S. E., Washington 3, D.C. Printed in the United States of America Library of Congress Catalog Card No. 61-8449 Ste3 >. V INTRODUCTION There is something quite frightening about this book. It is not so much that Dr. Rice recounts some of the brutalities and excesses of the Ku Klux Klan or even that he measures the intelligence of those who led the cross-burners as wanting; indeed, those of us who lived through the "kleagling" of the 1920's remember that the Klansmen, while not men, weren't boys either. What is frightening is the amount of practical action the successors to the Klan have learned from it. They have learned not only from the Klan's mistakes but from the Klan's successes. Fortunately, neither the John Birch Society nor the White Citizens Councils nor the revivified Klan nor the McCarthyites have learned well enough to grasp ultimate power. All of them, however, have learned enough so that they are more than an annoyance to the democratic process. Just how successful was the Klan? It never played a crucial role in a national election. The presence of Klansmen on the floor of a national political convention often succeeded in watering down the anti-Klan plank but national candidates, if they chose, could casti- gate the Klan at will.

    Roper, Danielle. 2019. Blackface at the Andean Fiesta: Performing Blackness in the Danza de Caporales. Latin American Research Review 54(2), pp. 381–397. DOI: https://doi.org/10.25222/larr.300 OTHER ARTS AND HUMANITIES Blackface at the Andean Fiesta: Performing Blackness in the Danza de Caporales Danielle Roper University of Chicago, US [email protected] This study assesses the deployment of blackface in a performance of the Danza de Caporales at La Fiesta de la Virgen de la Candelaria in Puno, Peru, by the performance troupe Sambos Illimani con Sentimiento y Devoción. Since blackface is so widely associated with the nineteenth- century US blackface minstrel tradition, this article develops the concept of “hemispheric blackface” to expand common understandings of the form. It historicizes Sambos’ deployment of blackface within an Andean performance tradition known as the Tundique, and then traces the way multiple hemispheric performance traditions can converge in a single blackface act. It underscores the amorphous nature of blackface itself and critically assesses its role in producing anti-blackness in the performance. Este ensayo analiza el uso de “blackface” (literalmente, cara negra: término que designa el uso de maquillaje negro cubriendo un rostro de piel más pálida) en la Danza de Caporales puesta en escena por el grupo Sambos Illimani con Sentimiento y Devoción que tuvo lugar en la fiesta de la Virgen de la Candelaria en Puno, Perú. Ya que el “blackface” es frecuentemente asociado a una tradición estadounidense del siglo XIX, este artículo desarrolla el concepto de “hemispheric blackface” (cara-negra hemisférica) para dar cuenta de elementos comunes en este género escénico.

Realization has come, too, that in a time of great social change, the knowledge of these--placing the individual, as it were, in a context--can stabilize and illuminate the sense of self.

    Kwartalnik Historyczny Vol. CXXIV, 2017 Eng.-Language Edition no. 1 PL ISSN 0023-5903 Hans-Jürgen Bömelburg, Edmund Kizik, Altes Reich und Alte Repub- lik. Deutsch-polnische Beziehungen und Verflechtungen 1500–1806, Darm- stadt, 2014, WBG Verlag, 214 pp., WBG Deutsch-Polnische Geschich- te, Bd. 2 This work by two historians from Poland and Germany looks at the bilateral relations between Poland and Germany in the early modern period. Aimed to fill a gap in the publishing market, it presents a comparative synthesis of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (Republic) and the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation (Reich). Written in German, it is targeted mainly at the German reader. However, Polish readers will also find it very informative. The chronological boundaries of 1500–1806 are rather loose. Considering the history of Poland,the year 1500 is symbolic and stands for two other dates: 1493, when the first bicameral Sejm was summoned, and 1505 when the Nihil Novi constitution (law) was passed. For the German States, the boundary of the year 1500 is even less explicit, although the authors emphasize the historical significance of the beginnings of capitalist forms of production in the German territories. The end date, the year 1806, marks the collapse of the German Reich. The year 1795, the date of the Third Partition of Poland, would be probably more appropriate for the Commonwealth. The geographical area under consideration is marked by the German Reich, the territories settled by the German speaking population, such as Ducal Prussia and Livonia, and many cities in the Polish Crown largely populated by Germans, especially Danzig (Gdańsk), Thorn (Toruń) and Elbing (Elbląg) on one side,and the Commonwealth of the Two Nations, extended by the areas populated by speakers of Polish (that is, Ducal Prussia and parts of Silesia) on the other.
