Описание: Continually Working tells the stories of Black working women who resisted employment inequality in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, from the 1940s to the 1970s. The book explores the job-related activism of Black Midwestern working women and uncovers the political and intellectual strategies they used to critique and resist employment discrimination, dismantle unjust structures, and transform their lives and the lives of those in their community.
Moten emphasizes the ways in which Black women transformed the urban landscape by simultaneously occupying spaces from which they had been historically excluded and creating their own spaces. Black women refused to be marginalized within the historically white and middle‑class Milwaukee Young Women's Christian Association (MYWCA), an association whose mission centered on supporting women in urban areas. Black women forged interracial relationships within this organization and made it, not without much conflict and struggle, one of the most socially progressive organizations in the city. When Black women could not integrate historically white institutions, they created their own. They established financial and educational institutions, such as Pressley School of Beauty Culture, which beautician Mattie Pressley Dewese opened in 1946 as a result of segregation in the beauty training industry. This school served economic, educational and community development purposes as well as created economic opportunities for Black women. Historically and contemporarily, Milwaukee has been and is still known as one of the most segregated cities in the nation. Black women have always contested urban segregation, by making space for themselves and others on the margins. In so doing, they have transformed both the urban landscape and urban history.

Mediating Black religious studies, spirituality studies, and liberation theology, Philip Butler explores what might happen if Black people in the United States merged technology and spirituality in their fight towards materializing liberating realities.
The discussions shaping what it means for humans to exist with technology and as part of technology are already underway: transhumanism suggests that any use of technology to augment intellectual, psychological, or physical capability makes one transhuman. In an attempt to encourage Black people in the United States to become technological progenitors as a spiritual act, Butler asks whether anyone has ever been 'just' human? Butler then explores the implications of this question and its link to viewing the body as technology.
Re-imagining incarnation as a relationship between vitality, biochemistry, and genetics, the book also takes a critical scientific approach to understanding the biological embodiment of Black spiritual practices. It shows how current and emerging technologies might align with the generative biological states of Black spiritualities in order to concretely disrupt and dismantle oppressive societal structures.

Drawn from scholars and activists from across the world, the fifteen chapters guide readers through a strategic method of understanding the academic industrial complex and corporate education in the twenty-first century.

Описание: In the black liberation movement, imprisonment emerged as a key rhetorical, theoretical, and media resource. Imprisoned activists developed tactics and ideology to counter white supremacy. Lisa M. Corrigan underscores how imprisonment - a site for both political and personal transformation - shaped movement leaders by influencing their political analysis and organizational strategies. Prison became the critical space for the transformation from civil rights to Black Power, especially as southern civil rights activists faced setbacks.Black Power activists produced autobiographical writings, essays, and letters about and from prison beginning with the early sit-in movement. Examining the iconic prison autobiographies of H. Rap Brown, Mumia Abu-Jamal, and Assata Shakur, Corrigan conducts rhetorical analyses of these extremely popular though understudied accounts of the Black Power movement. She introduces the notion of the ""Black Power vernacular"" as a term for the prison memoirists' rhetorical innovations, to explain how the movement adapted to an increasingly hostile environment in both the Johnson and Nixon administrations.Through prison writings, these activists deployed narrative features supporting certain tenets of Black Power, pride in blackness, disavowal of nonviolence, identification with the Third World, and identity strategies focused on black masculinity. Corrigan fills gaps between Black Power historiography and prison studies by scrutinizing the rhetorical forms and strategies of the Black Power ideology that arose from prison politics. These discourses demonstrate how Black Power activism shifted its tactics to regenerate, even after the FBI sought to disrupt, discredit, and destroy the movement.
Описание: Black Lives Matter, like its predecessor movements, embodies flesh and blood through local organizing, national and global protests, hunger strikes, and numerous acts of civil disobedience. Chants like "All night! All day! We're gonna fight for Freddie Gray!" and "No justice, no fear! Sandra Bland is marching here!" give voice simultaneously to the rage, truth, hope, and insurgency that sustains BLM. While BLM has generously welcomed a broad group of individuals whom religious institutions have historically resisted or rejected, contrary to general perceptions, religion neither has been absent nor excluded from the movement's activities.
This volume has a simple, but far-reaching argument: religion is an important thread in BLM. To advance this claim, Race, Religion, and Black Lives Matter examines religion's place in the movement through the lenses of history, politics, and culture. While this collection is not exhaustive or comprehensive in its coverage of religion and BLM, it selectively anthologizes unique aspects of Black religious history, thought, and culture in relation to political struggle in the contemporary era. The chapters aim to document historical change in light of current trends and current events. The contributors analyze religion and BLM in a current historical moment fraught with aggressive, fascist, authoritarian tendencies and one shaped by profound ingenuity, creativity, and insightful perspectives on Black history and culture.

Описание: When Cone wrote Black Theology and Black Power, he signaled to the world that the American black faith tradition would no longer recognize the confines of the church walls as the extent of its purview in society. Cone liberated the Gospel of Christ from its institutionalized forms, unhinging it from oppressive and racist power structures in American society and releasing it to do its work in the public sphere. Black Faith and Public Talk continues Cone's theme of power in the public realm and examines the economic, political, cultural, gender, and theological implications of black faith and black theology.
Black Liberation/Red Scare is a study of an African American Communist leader,
Ben Davis, Jr. (1904-64). Though it examines the numerous grassroots campaigns
that he was involved in, it is first and foremost a study of the man and secondarily a
study of the Communist party from the 1930s to the 1960s. By examining the public
life of an important party leader, Gerald Horne uniquely approaches the story of how
and why the party rose and fell.
Ben Davis, Jr., was the son of a prominent Atlanta publisher and businessman who
was also the top African American leader of the Republican party until the onset of
the Great Depression. Davis was trained for the black elite at Morehouse, Amherst,
and Harvard Law School. After graduating from Harvard, he joined the Communist
party, where he remained as one of its most visible leaders for thirty years. In 1943,
after being endorsed by his predecessor, Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., he was elected to
the New York City Council from Harlem and subsequently reelected by a larger
margin in 1945. Davis received support from such community figures as NAACP
leader Roy Wilkins, boxer Joe Louis, and musician Duke Ellington. While on the
council Davis fought for rent control and progressive taxation and struggled against
transit fare hikes and police brutality.
With the onset of the Red Scare and the Cold War, Davis-like the Communist party itself
was marginalized. The Cold War made it difficult for the U.S. to compete with Moscow for
the hearts and minds of African Americans while they were subjected to third-class
citizenship at home. Yet in return for civil rights concessions, African American organizations
such as the NAACP were forced to distance themselves from figures such as Ben Davis. In
1949 he was ousted unceremoniously (and perhaps illegally from the City Council. He was
put on trial, jailed in 1951, and not released until 1956, when the civil rights movement was
gathering momentum. His friendship with the King family, based upon family ties in Atlanta,
was the ostensible cause for the FBI surveillance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
COINTEL-PRO, the counterintelligence program of the FBI, which was aimed initially at
the CPUSA, made sure to keep a close eye on Davis as well. But when the civil rights
movement reached full strength in the 1960s Davis's controversial appearances at college
campuses helped to set the stage for a new era of activism at universities.
Davis died in 1964. According to Horne, the time has now come when he, along with
his good friend Paul Robeson and W. E. B. DuBois, should be regarded as a premier leader
of African- Americans and the U.S. Left during the twentieth century.
