Abstract:
I began graduate school in 1994 to study the history of American peoples of African descent; I saw important similarities between their cultures and their resistance struggles and sought to develop a comparative project. However, as I began casting my long term research plan— which was to compare Afro-Cubans and Afro-North Americans—I discovered and uncovered many stumbling blocks. The primary one was that academe grouped African descended people by their European and colonially derived relationships (ex: North America, Latin America, South America, and the Caribbean) and not by their Black de

In his introduction to a special issue of The Americas in 2006, Ben Vinson III noted how easily the history of Latin America had been dissociated from that of the African Diaspora. “When looking at the broad trajectory of historical writings on Latin America outside of the Caribbean and Brazil, it has long been possible to do Latin American history without referencing blackness or the African Diaspora.” A decade later, it is safe to say that the tables have turned.

While researching racially segregated education, I came across speeches delivered in the 1940s by two educational leaders—one a black man and the other a Native American man. G. B.

A few years before Buster delivered his speech, Henry Roe Cloud (Winnebago), a Native American educator, was more critical of white Americans, specifically the federal government, which he blamed for destroying American Indian cultures.

AbstractDuring the world war years of the early twentieth century, new African American religious movements emerged that emphasized black heritage identities.

Unlike African American religions of the previous century, these religious communities distinctly captured the ethos of ethnicity (cultural heritage) that pervaded American social consciousness at the time.

Abstract This article analyzes the rise of Portobelo as the most important center of the Spanish American slave trade from the 1660s to the 1730s. Portobelo's emergence was one of the most striking results of the structural transformation that the slave trade to Spanish America underwent between the 1640s and the 1650s. In these years, intra-American transimperial shipping displaced direct slave voyages from Africa to the Spanish Caribbean. By focusing on the elements that underpinned Portobelo's emergence, this essay shows how shifting transimperial connections affected the making and unmakin

Abstract:
In the construction of Atlantic paradigms, Africa—and its multiple intersections with both the Americas and Europe—has frequently been absent, or brought into the debate under the useful yet limited rubrics of diaspora, migration or creolization. In such configurations, the African continent typically emerges as an imagined presence for Afro-Caribbean, Afro-Latin-American or Afro-European definitions of identity. Re-engaging the Atlantic in a new direction could press us to move beyond these paradigms in which the energy driving the narrative originates in Europe or the Americas. Pursuing the turn towards a new island history of the Atlantic, this essay will address an array of links—trajectories, journeys, passages—between the islands of Cuba and Fernando Poo (today Bioko), during the second half of the nineteenth century. Fernando Poo –part of the Spanish empire since the eighteenth century— began to serve as the destination for the eastward movement of Cuban emancipated slaves, and as a prison colony for Cuban political deportees. Some of these deportees left detailed accounts of their Atlantic and African experiences. Addressing these deportee narratives, will provide a new discursive angle for critically re-locating Africa within the Atlantic, and will ask how reading the insular Caribbean from an island perspective might prove a useful disciplinary practice in the production of Atlantic knowledge.

Abstract:
Poverty in America today is widely viewed through a racial lens. But that was not always the case. Throughout most of the nation’s history, public discussion of poverty ignored African Americans. In this chapter, the authors examine the racialization of poverty in the US news media. Building on previous research, they focus on the 1960s as the critical time in which the American media began to focus on Black poverty. Based on a collection of over twelve thousand news stories on poverty from four major daily newspapers, they find that both coverage of poverty and attention to Black poverty in local news largely paralleled the trends revealed in earlier studies of national newsmagazines. Specifically, they find that attention to poverty (irrespective of race) increased dramatically in the mid-1960s (a time when actual poverty rates were in decline); that poverty coverage became racialized during this same period, with a substantial increase in references to African Americans between the mid- and late 1960s; and that, for the most part, the racialization of poverty coverage followed similar patterns in newspapers with lower and higher proportions of African Americans in their metropolitan areas.

These questions inspired the authors of the essays in this collection to travel the often-neglected waters of African maritime history.

Abstract:
A 1942 banquet honored Chicago’s public school superintendent William Johnson for his attention to a proposed reform of local social studies curricula concerning African American history. On this occasion, Johnson met with South Side schoolteacher Madeline Morgan, an advocate of local black public history. Morgan had devised these curriculum reforms as units for grades 1 through 8. Morgan (later Stratton Morris) taught at Emerson Primary School. In the nearly two years prior to the banquet and at the behest of the district, Morgan and a small team of colleagues had devised history units that would underscore the crucial role African Americans played in the nation’s history from slavery through emancipation and into the twentieth century. From the perspective of those who honored Johnson, his presence at the banquet was more than just a trivial photo opportunity. The banquet was attended by more than three hundred people and sponsored by local middle-class black women’s clubs and civic organizations. Beyond the adulation afforded Johnson, the banquet also recognized the labors of public schoolteachers like Morgan and those of other African American public-history activists and educators who through the 1940s and 1950s sought to revise local curricula to include significant modules on black American history....
