THE BLACK FLAME TRILOGY, MULTIGENERATIONAL EDUCATIONAL TRAUMA, AND THE DEHUMANIZATION OF BLACK STUDENTS BY JUNE CARA CHRISTIAN B.A., Washington University in St. Louis, 1999 M.A., Tennessee State University, 2002 M.A.Ed., Washington University in St. Louis, 2008 DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies in the Graduate School of the University of Missouri – St. Louis, 2011 Advisory Committee Matthew D. Davis, Ph.D. Chairperson Lynn Beckwith, Ed.D. Carl Hoagland, Ph.D. Billie Mayo, Ed.D. Copyright, June Cara Christian, 2011 ABSTRACT This study identifies W.E.B. Du Bois’ theory of education as put forth in his Black Flame trilogy (BFT). A longitudinal survey of culture and society—specifically educational disparities in the United States from 1863 through 1956, the BFT bears close textual analysis to reveal how the processes of racialization and colonization as well as the movement toward globalization influence education and its contribution to the dehumanization of students. Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome and critical race theory are theoretical tools of analysis that create a multi-generational dialectic that understands Du Bois’ BFT as a socio-historical analysis of White supremacy that establishes a theory of dehumanization in education. African critical theory (ACT) provides the frame that privileges the words of the elders and people sharing a common response to the dominant narrative surrounding Black students, the achievement gap, and the myth of Black inferiority. Using Du Bois’ voice throughout the analysis creates a dialectic counter-story to understand and identify existing symptoms of dehumanization, particularly in education so that we may finally seek remedy and redress. iii DEDICATION To the most honorable person I know, my mother, Cleter Rogers Christian. You have instilled in me the want and will to do for others, selflessly, without recognition. There are no words that can express my love and appreciation for you. The gift of your love and your example prove, for me, the purest existence of God’s abiding and unconditional love. To my father, Johnnie Christian, your life is the greatest testament of strength and perseverance of the human spirit. To my sister, Jon Carita, our friendship inspires me to be a better, gentler person. Your perspective continues to help me grow as a person and an intellectual. To my aunts and uncles, thank you for your support and examples of excellence. And, to the memories of my grandparents, Zelma and Robbie Rogers. “Get your learning—can’t nobody can take that away from you.” iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would not have been able to complete this dissertation without the guidance of committee members and the love and support of friends and family. I would like to express my deepest appreciation and gratitude to my advisor, Dr. Matthew Davis, for his excellent guidance, caring, patience, persistence, and belief in my research and ability. Without his unwavering support and patience, I would not have centered my research on the Black Flame trilogy or honed my research. I would like to thank Dr. Billie Mayo for her continued belief in me as well as my research. Special thanks goes to Dr. Lynn Beckwith, Jr. and Dr. Carl Hoagland, who were willing to participate on my committee—guiding and challenging my research to create the best document possible. I would like to thank Vanessa Barbour for her counsel and honest reflection. I would like to express my abiding gratitude to Janiese Middlebrooks for her spirited encouragement and friendship throughout my graduate study. I would like to thank my parents and my elder sister for their love and support. There is no possible way I could have completed this project without their encouragement and confidence in me. Finally, I would also like to express my gratitude to Dr. Rogers, Dr. DeGruy, and Dr. Rabaka, their examples and words of encouragement stayed with me during the writing process. v Table of Contents ABSTRACT ....................................................................................................................... iii DEDICATION ................................................................................................................... iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ................................................................................................ v LIST OF FIGURES ............................................................................................................ x Chapter One: An Introduction Education, Dehumanization, Multigenerational Trauma and the Black Flame Trilogy ................................................................................. 1 Introduction ......................................................................................................................... 1 Race, Schooling, and Education ......................................................................................... 3 Toward a Theory of Dehumanization in Education ............................................................ 9 The Myth of Black Inferiority ..................................................................................... 11 W.

Their gaze encountered a glass case presenting the skeleton of “Truganini, The Last Tasmanian Aboriginal” (advertisement, June 24, 1905). Also known as “Queen Truganini” at her older age, representations of her reflect the many, often contradictory, interpretations of her life and agency in colonial Tasmania. She has been depicted as selfish collaborator with the colonizer, savvy savior of her race, callous resistance fighter, promiscuous prostitute who preferred whites instead of her “own” men (e.g. Rae-Ellis, 1981), and “symbol for struggle and survival” (Ryan, 1996).

  • NOTES on the TASMANIAN "BLACK WAR" 1827 • 1830 [By J
    495 NOTES ON THE TASMANIAN "BLACK WAR" 1827 • 1830 [By J. C. H. GILL, B.A., LL.B.] (Read to a meeting of The Royal Historical Society of Queensland on 23 May 1968.) (AU Rights Reserved) The Tasmanian Aboriginal, in general, and my topic, in particular, have an extensive bibliography and much archival material is also avaUable in the State Archives of Tasmania and in the Mitchell and Dixson Collections in the PubUc Library of New South Wales. James Bonwick (in 1870), J. E. Calder (1875) and C. TumbuU (1948) aU wrote accounts of the Black War con­ jointly with an account of the extirpation of the Tasmanoids.* It is obvious that to cover the subject properly one would require 900 pages instead of the 9,000 words to which I am Umited. Furthermore, unlimited time to research amongst archival material would be needed and research of this nature has not been possible at all. However, before Bonwick's work in 1870 there had already been written a number of Histories of Tasmania, as you will note from my own bibliography. MelvUle and Bischoff are virtuaUy contemporary with the topic and West little more than twenty years after the event. With these as my principal sources for the events of 1827-1830 I have sought briefly to recapitulate the sad story from its sorry beginning to its tragic aftermath with some observations on possible causes and effects. AN ENIGMA The Tasmanian aborigines, like all extinct peoples, must remain perforce something of an enigma, despite the fact that the last of them died within living memory.

  • A Different Mode of War? Aboriginal 'Guerilla Tactics' in Defining The
    A different mode of war? Aboriginal ‘guerilla tactics’ in defining the ‘Black War’ of Southern Queensland 1843-1855 A paper presented July 2014 AHA Conference, University of Queensland, Brisbane RayKerkhove, PhD Abstract Frontier violence is now an accepted chapter of Australian history. Indigenous resistance underlies this story, yet it has barely been examined as a military phenomenon (Connor 2004). Our understanding of military strategies Indigenous groups employed, and their broader objectives in undertaking resistance remains vague, being more often assumed than proven. Building on Laurie’s and Cilento’s contentions (1959) that an alliance of Aboriginal groups staged a fairly successful ‘Black War’ in southern Queensland during the 1840s and 1850s, the author seeks evidence for a historically definable (1843-1855) conflict during this period, complete with a record of Indigenous declaration, victories, coordination, leadership and planning. As the Australian situation continues to present elements which have proved difficult to reconcile with existing paradigms for military history, this study applies definitions from guerilla and terrorist conflict (e.g. Eckley 2001, Kilcullen 2009) to explain key features of the southern Queensland “Black War.” It also compares this to similar frontier engagements in other parts of Australia. The author concludes that Australian “resistance” wars followed their own distinctive pattern – achieving coordinated response through inter-tribal gatherings and sophisticated signaling; relying heavily on economic sabotage and targeted payback killings; and guided by self-depreciating “loner-leaders” much more wily and reticent than their equivalents in other parts of the world. The author also argues that contrary to the claims of military historians such as Dennis (1995), there is ample evidence for tactical innovation.
