In discussing the impact of the trans-Atlantic slave trade on African societies, Mariana P. Candido explores the formation of new elites, the collapse of old states, and the emergence of new states. Placing Benguela in an Atlantic perspective, this study shows how events in the Caribbean and Brazil affected social and political changes on the African coast.

rule in North America has been hailed almost universally as a great step forward for humanity.  But the Africans then living in the colonies overwhelmingly sided with the British.  In this trailblazing book, Gerald Horne shows that in the prelude to 1776, the abolition of slavery seemed all but inevitable in London, delighting Africans as much as it outraged slaveholders, and sparking the colonial revolt. Prior to 1776, anti-slavery sentiments were deepening throughout Britain and in the Caribbean, rebellious Africans were in revolt.  For European colonists in America, the major threat to their security was a foreign invasion combined with an insurrection of the enslaved.   It was a real and threatening possibility that London would impose abolition throughout the colonies—a possibility the founding fathers feared would bring slave rebellions to their shores.  To forestall it, they went to war. The so-called Revolutionary War, Horne writes, was in part a counter-revolution, a conservative movement that the founding fathers fought in order to preserve their right to enslave others.  The Counter-Revolution of 1776 brings us to a radical new understanding of the traditional heroic creation myth of the United States.", "series": "", "seriesNumber": "", "volume": "", "numberOfVolumes": "", "edition": "Reprint edition", "date": "September 1,

world into a “global village,” where we all seem to be connected as an online community as information travels to the farthest reaches of the planet with the click of a mouse. Yet while we think of platforms such as Twitter and Facebook as open and accessible to all, in reality, these are commercial entities developed primarily by and for the Western world. Considering how new technologies increasingly shape labor, economics, and politics, these tools often reinforce the inequalities of globalization, rarely reflecting the perspectives of those at the bottom of the digital divide.                  This book asks us to re-consider ‘whose global village’ we are shaping with the digital technology revolution today. Sharing stories of collaboration with Native Americans in California and New Mexico, revolutionaries in Egypt, communities in rural India, and others across the world, Ramesh Srinivasan urges us to re-imagine what the Internet, mobile phones, or social media platforms may look like when considered from the perspective of diverse cultures. Such collaborations can pave the way for a people-first approach toward designing and working with new technology worldwide. Whose Global Village seeks to inspire professionals, activists, and scholars alike to think about technology in a way that embraces the realities of communities too often relegated to the margins. We can then start to visualize a world where technologies serve diverse communities rather than just the Western consumer.", "series": "", "seriesNumber": "", "volume": "", "numberOfVolumes": "", "edition": "", "date": "February 28, 2017", "publisher": "NYU Press", "place": "Place of publication not identified", "originalDate": "", "originalPublisher": "", "originalPlace": "", "format": "", "numPages": "272", "ISBN": "978-1-4798-6296-2", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "Whose Global Village?", "language": "English", "libraryCatalog": "Amazon", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2016-12-10T00:40:05Z", "dateModified": "2016-12-10T00:40:05Z" } }, { "key": "ETN9AVF7", "version": 29, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 195375, "name": "African Diaspora, Ph.D.", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/african_diaspora_ph.d.", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/195375/items/ETN9AVF7", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/african_diaspora_ph.d./items/ETN9AVF7", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 21772, "username": "jmjohnso", "name": "Jessica Marie Johnson", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/jmjohnso", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Zimring", "parsedDate": "2016-01-08", "numChildren": 1 }, "data": { "key": "ETN9AVF7", "version": 29, "itemType": "book", "title": "Clean and White: A History of Environmental Racism in the United States", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Carl A.", "lastName": "Zimring" } ], "abstractNote": "When Joe Biden attempted to compliment Barack Obama by calling him “clean and articulate,” he unwittingly tapped into one of the most destructive racial stereotypes in American history. This book tells the history of the corrosive idea that whites are clean and those who are not white are dirty. From the age of Thomas Jefferson to the Memphis Public Workers strike of 1968 through the present day, ideas about race and waste have shaped where people have lived, where people have worked, and how American society’s wastes have been managed.  Clean and White offers a history of environmental racism in the United States focusing on constructions of race and hygiene. In the wake of the civil war, as the nation encountered emancipation, mass immigration, and the growth of an urbanized society, Americans began to conflate the ideas of race and waste. Certain immigrant groups took on waste management labor, such as Jews and scrap metal recycling, fostering connections between the socially marginalized and refuse. Ethnic “purity” was tied to pure cleanliness, and hygiene became a central aspect of white identity.  Carl A. Zimring here draws on historical evidence from statesmen, scholars, sanitarians, novelists, activists, advertisements, and the United States Census of Population to reveal changing constructions of environmental racism. The material consequences of these attitudes endured and expanded through the twentieth century, shaping waste management systems and environmental inequalities that endure into the twenty-first century. Today, the bigoted idea  that non-whites are “dirty” remains deeply ingrained in the national psyche, continuing to shape social and environmental inequalities in the age of Obama.", "series": "", "seriesNumber": "", "volume": "", "numberOfVolumes": "", "edition": "", "date": "January 8, 2016", "publisher": "NYU Press", "place": "New York", "originalDate": "", "originalPublisher": "", "originalPlace": "", "format": "", "numPages": "288", "ISBN": "978-1-4798-2694-0", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "Clean and White", "language": "English", "libraryCatalog": "Amazon", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2016-12-10T00:38:53Z", "dateModified": "2016-12-10T00:38:53Z" } }, { "key": "BXCTA6HI", "version": 29, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 195375, "name": "African Diaspora, Ph.D.", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/african_diaspora_ph.d.", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/195375/items/BXCTA6HI", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/african_diaspora_ph.d./items/BXCTA6HI", "type": "text/html" }, "up": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/195375/items/ETN9AVF7", "type": "application/json" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 21772, "username": "jmjohnso", "name": "Jessica Marie Johnson", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/jmjohnso", "type": "text/html" } } } }, "data": { "key": "BXCTA6HI", "version": 29, "parentItem": "ETN9AVF7", "itemType": "attachment", "linkMode": "linked_url", "title": "Amazon.com Link", "accessDate": "2016-12-10T00:38:53Z", "url": "https://www.amazon.com/Clean-White-History-Environmental-Racism/dp/1479826944/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1481330317&sr=8-1&keywords=clean+and+white+zimring", "note": "", "contentType": "text/html", "charset": "", "tags": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2016-12-10T00:38:53Z", "dateModified": "2016-12-10T00:38:53Z" } }, { "key": "KMJJUBH3", "version": 28, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 195375, "name": "African Diaspora, Ph.D.", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/african_diaspora_ph.d.", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/195375/items/KMJJUBH3", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/african_diaspora_ph.d./items/KMJJUBH3", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 21772, "username": "jmjohnso", "name": "Jessica Marie Johnson", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/jmjohnso", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Khabeer", "parsedDate": "2016-12-06", "numChildren": 1 }, "data": { "key": "KMJJUBH3", "version": 28, "itemType": "book", "title": "Muslim Cool: Race, Religion, and Hip Hop in the United States", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Su'ad Abdul", "lastName": "Khabeer" } ], "abstractNote": "This groundbreaking study of race, religion and popular culture in the 21st century United States focuses on a new concept, “Muslim Cool.” Muslim Cool is a way of being an American Muslim—displayed in ideas, dress, social activism in the ’hood, and in complex relationships to state power. Constructed through hip hop and the performance of Blackness, Muslim Cool is a way of engaging with the Black American experience by both Black and non-Black young Muslims that challenges racist norms in the U.S. as well as dominant ethnic and religious structures within American Muslim communities.   Drawing on over two years of ethnographic research, Su'ad Abdul Khabeer illuminates the ways in which young and multiethnic U.S. Muslims draw on Blackness to construct their identities as Muslims. This is a form of critical Muslim self-making that builds on interconnections and intersections, rather than divisions between “Black” and “Muslim.” Thus, by countering the notion that Blackness and the Muslim experience are fundamentally different, Muslim Cool poses a critical challenge to dominant ideas that Muslims are “foreign” to the United States and puts Blackness at the center of the study of American Islam.

Focusing in particular on three figures with elusive queer histories—the sailor, the soldier, and the cowboy— Pérez unpacks how each has been memorialized and desired for their heroic masculinity while at the same time functioning as agents for the expansion of the US borders and neocolonial zones of influence. Describing an enduring homonationalism dating to the “birth” of the homosexual in the late 19th century, Pérez considers not only how US imperialist expansion was realized, but also how it was visualized for and through gay men. By means of an analysis of literature, film, and photographs from the 19th to the 21st  centuries—including Herman Melville’s Billy Budd, Anne Proulx’s “Brokeback Mountain,” and photos of abuse at the Abu Ghraib prison—Pérez proposes that modern gay male identity, often traced to late Victorian constructions of “invert” and “homosexual,” occupies not the periphery of the nation but rather a cosmopolitan position, instrumental to projects of war, colonialism, and neoliberalism. A Taste for Brown Bodies argues that practices and subjectivities that we understand historically as forms of homosexuality have been regulated and normalized as an extension of the US nation-state, laying bare the tacit, if complex, participation of gay modernity within US imperialism.", "series": "", "seriesNumber": "", "volume": "", "numberOfVolumes": "", "edition": "", "date": "October 30, 2015", "publisher": "NYU Press", "place": "New York", "originalDate": "", "originalPublisher": "", "originalPlace": "", "format": "", "numPages": "192", "ISBN": "978-1-4798-4586-6", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "A Taste for Brown Bodies", "language": "English", "libraryCatalog": "Amazon", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2016-12-10T00:38:02Z", "dateModified": "2016-12-10T00:38:02Z" } }, { "key": "KWBJR7IV", "version": 26, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 195375, "name": "African Diaspora, Ph.D.", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/african_diaspora_ph.d.", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/195375/items/KWBJR7IV", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/african_diaspora_ph.d./items/KWBJR7IV", "type": "text/html" }, "up": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/195375/items/ZQA8VNN6", "type": "application/json" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 21772, "username": "jmjohnso", "name": "Jessica Marie Johnson", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/jmjohnso", "type": "text/html" } } } }, "data": { "key": "KWBJR7IV", "version": 26, "parentItem": "ZQA8VNN6", "itemType": "attachment", "linkMode": "linked_url", "title": "Amazon.com Link", "accessDate": "2016-12-10T00:37:35Z", "url": "https://www.amazon.com/Color-Kink-Pornography-Sexual-Cultures/dp/1479827460/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1481330243&sr=8-1&keywords=the+color+of+kink", "note": "", "contentType": "text/html", "charset": "", "tags": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2016-12-10T00:37:35Z", "dateModified": "2016-12-10T00:37:35Z" } }, { "key": "ZQA8VNN6", "version": 26, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 195375, "name": "African Diaspora, Ph.D.", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/african_diaspora_ph.d.", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/195375/items/ZQA8VNN6", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/african_diaspora_ph.d./items/ZQA8VNN6", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 21772, "username": "jmjohnso", "name": "Jessica Marie Johnson", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/jmjohnso", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Cruz", "parsedDate": "2016-10-04", "numChildren": 1 }, "data": { "key": "ZQA8VNN6", "version": 26, "itemType": "book", "title": "The Color of Kink: Black Women, BDSM, and Pornography", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Ariane", "lastName": "Cruz" } ], "abstractNote": "The Color of Kink explores black women's representations and performances within American pornography and BDSM (bondage and discipline, domination and submission, and sadism and masochism) from the 1930s to the present, revealing the ways in which they illustrate a complex and contradictory negotiation of pain, pleasure, and power for black women.             Based on personal interviews conducted with pornography performers, producers, and professional dominatrices, visual and textual analysis, and extensive archival research, Ariane Cruz reveals BDSM and pornography as critical sites from which to rethink the formative links between Black female sexuality and violence.  She explores how violence becomes not just a vehicle of pleasure but also a mode of accessing and contesting power.  Drawing on feminist and queer theory, critical race theory, and media studies, Cruz argues that BDSM is a productive space from which to consider the complexity and diverseness of black women's sexual practice and the mutability of black female sexuality.

They insisted that so-called Negroes are, in reality, Ethiopian Hebrews, Asiatic Muslims, or raceless children of God. Rejecting conventional American racial classification, many black southern migrants and immigrants from the Caribbean embraced these alternative visions of black history, racial identity, and collective future, thereby reshaping the black religious and racial landscape. Focusing on the Moorish Science Temple, the Nation of Islam, Father Divine’s Peace Mission Movement, and a number of congregations of Ethiopian Hebrews, Judith Weisenfeld argues that the appeal of these groups lay not only in the new religious opportunities membership provided, but also in the novel ways they formulated a religio-racial identity. Arguing that members of these groups understood their religious and racial identities as divinely-ordained and inseparable, the book examines how this sense of self shaped their conceptions of their bodies, families, religious and social communities, space and place, and political sensibilities. Weisenfeld draws on extensive archival research and incorporates a rich array of sources to highlight the experiences of average members.

Intimidation and fear were central to the system of oppression in most of the Deep South. To overcome the system of segregation, Black people had to overcome fear to present a significant challenge to White domination. As the civil rights movement developed, armed self-defense and resistance became a significant means by which the descendants of enslaved Africans overturned fear and intimidation and developed different political and social relationships between Black and White Mississippians. This riveting historical narrative reconstructs the armed resistance of Black activists, their challenge of racist terrorism, and their fight for human rights.    Instructor's Guide", "series": "", "seriesNumber": "", "volume": "", "numberOfVolumes": "", "edition": "Reprint edition", "date": "August 22, 2014", "publisher": "NYU Press", "place": "", "originalDate": "", "originalPublisher": "", "originalPlace": "", "format": "", "numPages": "351", "ISBN": "978-1-4798-8603-6", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "We Will Shoot Back", "language": "English", "libraryCatalog": "Amazon", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2016-12-10T00:36:36Z", "dateModified": "2016-12-10T00:36:36Z" } }, { "key": "E9M59AZC", "version": 23, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 195375, "name": "African Diaspora, Ph.D.", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/african_diaspora_ph.d.", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/195375/items/E9M59AZC", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/african_diaspora_ph.d./items/E9M59AZC", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 21772, "username": "jmjohnso", "name": "Jessica Marie Johnson", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/jmjohnso", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Clark-Pujara", "parsedDate": "2016-08-30", "numChildren": 1 }, "data": { "key": "E9M59AZC", "version": 23, "itemType": "book", "title": "Dark Work: The Business of Slavery in Rhode Island", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Christy", "lastName": "Clark-Pujara" } ], "abstractNote": "Historians have written expansively about the slave economy and its vital role in early American economic life. In Dark Work, Christy Clark-Pujara tells the story of one state in particular whose role was outsized: Rhode Island. Like their northern neighbors, Rhode Islanders bought and sold slaves and supplies that sustained plantations throughout the Americas; however, nowhere else was this business so important. During the colonial period trade with West Indian planters provided Rhode Islanders with molasses, the key ingredient for their number one export: rum. More than 60 percent of all the slave ships that left North America left from Rhode Island. During the antebellum period Rhode Islanders were the leading producers of “negro cloth,” a coarse wool-cotton material made especially for enslaved blacks in the American South. Clark-Pujara draws on the documents of the state, the business, organizational, and personal records of their enslavers, and the few first-hand accounts left by enslaved and free black Rhode Islanders to reconstruct their lived experiences. The business of slavery encouraged slaveholding, slowed emancipation and led to circumscribed black freedom. Enslaved and free black people pushed back against their bondage and the restrictions placed on their freedom. It is convenient, especially for northerners, to think of slavery as southern institution. The erasure or marginalization of the northern black experience and the centrality of the business of slavery to the northern economy allows for a dangerous fiction—that North has no history of racism to overcome.

From traditional West African drumming to South African kwaito, from spirituals to hip-hop, Black life and history has been dynamically displayed and contested through sound. Shana Redmond excavates the sonic histories of these communities through a genre emblematic of Black solidarity and citizenship: anthems. An interdisciplinary cultural history, Anthem reveals how this “sound franchise” contributed to the growth and mobilization of the modern, Black citizen. Providing new political frames and aesthetic articulations for protest organizations and activist-musicians, Redmond reveals the anthem as a crucial musical form following World War I.     Beginning with the premise that an analysis of the composition, performance, and uses of Black anthems allows for a more complex reading of racial and political formations within the twentieth century, Redmond expands our understanding of how and why diaspora was a formative conceptual and political framework of modern Black identity. By tracing key compositions and performances around the world—from James Weldon Johnson’s “Lift Ev’ry Voice and Sing” that mobilized the NAACP to Nina Simone’s “To Be Young, Gifted & Black” which became the Black National Anthem of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE)—Anthem develops a robust recording of Black social movements in the twentieth century that will forever alter the way you hear race and nation.", "series": "", "seriesNumber": "", "volume": "", "numberOfVolumes": "", "edition": "", "date": "December 6, 2013", "publisher": "NYU Press", "place": "New York", "originalDate": "", "originalPublisher": "", "originalPlace": "", "format": "", "numPages": "356", "ISBN": "978-0-8147-7041-2", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "Anthem", "language": "English", "libraryCatalog": "Amazon", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2016-12-10T00:35:27Z", "dateModified": "2016-12-10T00:35:27Z" } }, { "key": "PB9RK4AM", "version": 21, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 195375, "name": "African Diaspora, Ph.D.", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/african_diaspora_ph.d.", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/195375/items/PB9RK4AM", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/african_diaspora_ph.d./items/PB9RK4AM", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 21772, "username": "jmjohnso", "name": "Jessica Marie Johnson", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/jmjohnso", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Reid-Pharr", "parsedDate": "2016-12-13", "numChildren": 1 }, "data": { "key": "PB9RK4AM", "version": 21, "itemType": "book", "title": "Archives of Flesh: African America, Spain, and Post-Humanist Critique", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Robert F.", "lastName": "Reid-Pharr" } ], "abstractNote": "In Archives of Flesh, Robert Reid-Pharr reveals the deep history of intellectual engagement between African America and Spain.  Opening a fascinating window onto black and anti-Fascist intellectual life from 1898 through the mid-1950s, Reid-Pharr argues that key institutions of Western Humanism, including American colleges and universities, developed in intimate relation to slavery, colonization, and white supremacy.  This retreat to rigidly established philosophical and critical traditions can never fully address—or even fully recognize—the deep-seated hostility to black subjectivity underlying the humanist ideal of a transcendent Manhood.                Calling for a specifically anti-white supremacist reexamination of the archives of black subjectivity and resistance, Reid-Pharr enlists the principles of post-humanist critique in order to investigate decades of intimate dialogues between African American and Spanish intellectuals, including Salaria Kea, Federico Garcia Lorca, Nella Larsen, Langston Hughes, Richard Wright, Chester Himes, Lynn Nottage, and Pablo Picasso.

Asking readers to consider the revolution less a fixed event than an ongoing and open-ended history resonating across the work of Atlantic world intellectuals, Glick argues that these writers use the Haitian Revolution as a watershed to chart their own radical political paths, animating, enriching, and framing their artistic and scholarly projects. Spanning the disciplines of literature, philosophy, and political thought, The Black Radical Tragic explores work from Lorraine Hansberry, Sergei Eisenstein, Edouard Glissant, Malcolm X, and others, ultimately enacting a speculative encounter between Bertolt Brecht and C.L.R. James to reconsider the relationship between tragedy and revolution.
