The University of Alabama Press Hiding in Plain Sight
Book SynopsisTraces the origins of what some white Argentines mischaracterize as a ""black disappearance"" by delving into the intimate lives of black women and explaining how they contributed to the making of a ""white"" Argentina.Trade ReviewThere is much substance in Hiding in Plain Sight that will surely change not only how historians explain postabolition Argentina, but also the history of the Spanish-American republics during the time when state formation and conceptions of race entangled with abolition." - Alex Borucki, author of From Shipmates to Soldiers: Emerging Black Identities in the RÍo de la Plata"Powerfully, this book reinterprets the interrelated constructs of whiteness and nation in Argentina from the perspective of African-descended women. In so doing, Hiding in Plain Sight illuminates the gendered languages and initiatives that made possible black women’s (and their children’s) assertions for legal and social belonging—even as these choices entailed a discursive downplaying of blackness in favor of performing Spanish and indigenous identities. A noteworthy contribution to African diaspora as well as women’s and gender studies, Edwards’s book makes the study of both households and the interior city of CÓrdoba indispensable to thinking about modern Argentina." - Celso Thomas Castilho, author of Slave Emancipation and Transformations in Brazilian Political Citizenship"Edwards boldly argues that African-descended women in CÓrdoba employed their clothing choices, motherly responsibilities, and positions as concubines to transform black identities into white privilege. By exploring intimate struggles, Edwards effectively revises Argentina’s national story of black invisibility to a narrative of black agency of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries." - Rachel Sarah O’Toole, author of Bound Lives: Africans, Indians, and the Making of Race in Colonial Peru "Hiding in Plain Sight is an important contribution to the field of Latin American history, history of the Atlantic World, gender and legal history, and comparative slavery." - Fabricio Prado, author of Edge of Empire: Atlantic Networks and Revolution in Bourbon RÍo de la Plata "This monograph on African-descended women in Argentina shifts the historical conversation on blanqueamiento (whitening) and its concomitant erasure of blackness to converge with the consolidation of the nation-state in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Focusing on CÓrdoba, Edwards echoes the scholarship of Marta Goldberg and Silvia Mallo in concentrating on the everyday lives and individual agency of women, situating them within the context of cultural notions of morality, civility, and virtue (calidad) and colonial reforms like the 1813 Free Womb Act. Her most valuable insights concern the different legal conditions for slaves and indigenous peoples. Highly recommended." - CHOICETable of Contents List of Illustrations Acknowledgments Time Line Introduction Chapter 1. Miscegenation, Marriage, and Manumission in CÓrdoba Chapter 2.

Wesleyan University Press Belly to the Brutal
Book SynopsisBelly to the Brutal sings a corrido of the love between mothers and daughters, confronting the learned complicity with patriarchal violence passed down from generation to generation. This poetry edges into the borderlands, touching the realm of chorahumming, screaming, rhythmtransporting the words outside of patriarchal and racist constructs. Drawing from curanderisma and a revived wave of feminist brujería, Jennifer Givhan creates a healing space for Brown women and mothers. Each poem finds its own form, interweaving beauty and devastation to create a pathway out of the systems that have for too long oppressed women. The poems dwell in the thick language of motherfear, where love grows too / in the shining center of the wound. This poetry of invocation moves toward a transformation of violence that is ultimately redemptive.

Duke University Press Listening to Images
Book SynopsisTina M. Campt explores a way of listening to photography by engaging with lost archives of state identification photographs of Afro-diasporan people taken between the late 1800s and the present, showing how to hear the quiet refusal emanating from these photos originally intended to dehumanize and police their subjects.Trade Review"Listening to Images provides a powerful set of theoretical and methodological tools for historicizing and unpacking the kinds of photographic archives of which [Sandra] Bland’s images are a recent, prominent, and disturbing example. . . . Tina Campt’s stimulating new work is a must read in a flurry of exciting work at the intersection of Black Studies and visual culture." -- J. T. Roane * Black Perspectives *"[Campt's] work is particularly noteworthy for her ability to translate still images into moving narratives, to carry the reader through the image. Campt’s archive for Listening to Images is made of photos that one might pass over when looking for a more spectacular story. These include modes of identification photography—mugshots, passport photos—that reveal the apparatus of state control without its spectacular action or violence. These images are the low-tech precursor to the current proliferation of biometrics, the practice of tracking unique identity markers like DNA. Campt’s turn away from crisis brings the spectacle into perspective. She attends to the long backdrop of the eruptions of supposedly exceptional violence that is far too often overlooked, but is always present." -- JB Brager * The New Inquiry *"Fugitivity, according to Campt, is a form of refusal defined by a commitment to survival, in which one enacts, through a performance of a future that has not yet arrived, the conditions which will have sustained and valued black life. Listening to Images not only provides the grammar to articulate this fugitivity, it also attunes our senses to listen for it." -- Jacob Breslow * Feminist Review *"Scholars of Africana Studies, Cultural Studies, Visual Culture, Art History, and Gender Studies will no doubt find Campt’s archival research, innovative methodology, and evocative theorizations of a grammar of black feminist futurity to be generative and rich. . . . Campt’s work importantly recalibrates readers’ capacities to glean from images the complex grammars of black fugitivity, refusal, and futurity that resonate from and within identification photographs." -- Doria E. Charlson * Women & Performance *"Campt has written a succinct book of intensive propositions. . . . Listening to Images is an intricate text expounding on the theoretical interplay among archiving, seeing, and listening to visual materials that are in plain sight but not in sight. Thus, the sounds that they generate are quiet and have gripping agentive frequencies." -- Jerry Philogene * CAA Reviews *"Listening to Images skates along the surface of images, listening to their resonances. . . . This method allows Campt to create unexpected juxtapositions. . . . It is a testament to the book’s many points of connection between archives and time periods that I was left wanting more." -- Jocelyn Fenton Stitt * Meridians *“Listening to Images offers compelling, and surprisingly mobile, theorizations of seriality. . . . Campt explores institutional and bureaucratic photographs, the images of her title. She reads these against the grain, as generative artifacts whose serial conditions reframe their ostensibly oppressive meaning and reshape the ‘affective frequencies’ through which others encounter them. . . . Campt’s work has the potential to enrich conversations in periodical studies, mass media studies, and, yes, ‘seriality studies’ in all its messy possibility.” -- Sarah H.

Rowman & Littlefield Strong in the Struggle My Life as a Black Labor
Book SynopsisLee Brown was an African-American labour activist who was jailed in the 1950s for protesting against the House Un-American Activities Committee. This is the story of Brown's life from his political awakening as a youth from the rural South to his rise to leadership, time of imprisonment and beyond.Trade ReviewIndispensable for anyone trying to understand the realities of life in the United States. This is a very moving account of a militant African-American man in the 20th century. It illuminates the defeats and victories of the labor movement, North and South, with clear honesty. -- Herbert Aptheker, author of A Documentary History of the Negro People in the United StatesLee Brown’s compelling story urges us to imagine a radically different history of the twentieth century United States, a history forged by a persistent and courageous defense of workers’ rights and by an indefatigable advocacy of racial equality. In his powerful and unpretentious way, Brown shows us a life whose meaning resides in an unrelenting faith in the ability of working people to fight for a better world. As veteran, witness, and chronicler, he addresses new generations of activists—those who speak out today against global capitalism, racism, patriarchy, and homophobia—and offer them a firm place on his shoulders. -- Angela Y. Davis, University of California, Santa Cruz; author of Blues Legend and Black FeminismFully represents the history of African American workers and activists in the twentieth century, the transformation of our presence from a rural to an urban one, and the impact the industrial revolution, the trade union movement, World War II, and the Civil Rights Movement have had on the way we live and we work. This book is especially important because we have so few worker biographies, so few life stories of 'the people' that Lee Brown has always been ready to represent. It is important to see history from this prism, to view our nation’s evolution through the life of a man whose voice, strong and authentic, is amplified through this powerful, absorbing and detail-rich autobiography. -- Julianne Malveaux, from the ForewordA stirring account. * Dispatcher *Table of ContentsChapter 1 Foreword Chapter 2 Introduction Chapter 3 Prologue: February 15, 1957 Chapter 4 Childhood Chapter 5 On My Own Chapter 6 Working in Los Angeles Chapter 7 Black Workers on the New Oleans Waterfront Chapter 8 New Orleans and Local 207 Chapter 9 Organizer at Work Chapter 10 Fighting Southern Injustice Chapter 11 On the Road for the Union Chapter 12 Andrew Steve Nelson's Trial Chapter 13 The Government Comes After Me Chapter 14 The Trial of Lee Brown

City Lights Books Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass An
Book SynopsisA new edition of the African American masterpiece featuring critical essays by Angela Y. Davis.A masterpiece of African American literature, Frederick Douglass''s Narrative is the powerful story of an enslaved youth coming into social and moral consciousness by disobeying his white slavemasters and secretly teaching himself to read.Achieving literacy emboldens Douglass to resist, escape and ultimately achieve his freedom. After escaping slavery, Douglass became a leader in the anti-slavery and women''s rights movements, a bestselling author and U.S. diplomat.In this new critical edition, legendary activist and feminist scholar Angela Davis sheds new light on the legacy of Frederick Douglass.In two philosophical lectures originally delivered at UCLA in autumn 1969, Davis focuses on Douglass''s intellectual and spiritual awakening, and the importance of self-knowledge in achieving freedom from all forms of oppression. With detailed attention tTrade Review"Just as Douglass was dedicated to abolishing the institution that imprisoned him and his people, Davis is dedicated to abolishing the institution that imprisoned her and still imprisons millions of Americans, mostly people of color: the modern American prison system."—H. Bruce Franklin, African American Review"Davis's work deserves a wide readership . . . She has compiled much useful information not easily obtained elsewhere."—Toni Morrison"Davis' arguments for justice are formidable—The power of her historical insights and the sweetness of her dream cannot be denied."—New York Times Book Review"Long before 'race/gender' became the obligatory injunction it is now, Angela Davis was developing an analytical framework that brought all of these factors into play. For readers who only see Angela Davis as a public icon . . . meet the real Angela Davis: perhaps the leading public intellectual of our era."—Robin D. G. Kelley, author of Thelonious Monk: The Life and Times of an American Original"One of America's last truly fearless public intellectuals."—Cynthia McKinney, U.S. Democratic Congresswoman"Angela Davis's revolutionary spirit is still strong. Still with us, thank goodness!"—Virginian-Pilot"There was a time in America when to call a person an 'abolitionist' was the ultimate epithet. It evoked scorn in the North and outrage in the South. Yet they were the harbingers of things to come. They were on the right side of history. Prof. Angela Y. Davis stands in that proud, radical tradition."—Mumia Abu-Jamal, author of Jailhouse Lawyers: Prisoners Defending Prisoners v. the U.S.A."Behold the heart and mind of Angela Davis, open, relentless, and on time!"—June Jordan"Angela Davis has stood as a courageous voice of conscience on matters of race, class, and gender in America."—David Theo Goldberg, Arizona State University"Angela Davis offers a cartography of engagement in oppositional social movements and unwavering commitment to justice."—Chandra Talpade Mohanty, Women's Studies, Hamilton College"The breadth of Davis's work in the past two decades is an inspiring example of bridge-building across causes and generations. That her contemporary activism can be coupled so flawlessly with Douglass’s historic writings and powerful legacy speaks to the importance of their combined influence spanning centuries. . . . At a time when the freedoms once granted by the Fourteenth Amendment are now being applied to corporate entities, cannabilizing the legacy of freed slaves in the United States, this book—Davis’s call for a more engaged electorate—is wonderfully timely and deeply engaging."—Colorlines

African American Images The Miseducation of the Negro
Book SynopsisOriginally released in 1933, The Mis-Education of the Negro continues to resonate today, raising questions that readers are still trying to answer. The impact of slavery on the Black psyche is explored and questions are raised about our education system, such as what and who African Americans are educated for, the difference between education and training, and which of these African Americans are receiving. Woodson provides solutions to these challenges, but these require more study, discipline, and an Afrocentric worldview. This new edition contains a biographical profile of the author, a new introduction, and study questions.

This is not a Black crisis but a national emergency. The New York Times Book ReviewAbout 170,000 Black Americans have died in homicides just since the year 2000. Violence takes more years of life from Black men than cancer, stroke, and diabetes combined; a young Black man in the United States has a fifteen times greater chance of dying from violence than his white counterpart. Even Black women suffer violent death at a higher rate than white men, despite homicide's usual gender patterns. Yet while the country has been rightly outraged by the recent spate of police killings of Black Americans, the shocking amount of everyday violence that plagues African American communities receives far less attention, and has nearly disappeared as a target

Any reader who wants to know more about social justice pioneers should get a bead on it.--The Washington Informer This detailed biography on an underrated social and politlcal activist results in an ambitious undertaking by Saxby, whose emphasis on Murray's private life tells a history of trials based on personal experiences and records.--Library Journal
