Abstract: In 1688, Frenchman Jean Barbot busily prepared his memoirs for publication, completely unaware of the frustration that lay ahead (Barbot 1732; Law 1982). As a slaver for the Compagnie du Sénégal, Barbot traveled to West Africa several times to procure African men and women for the Atlantic slavery system and, while there, recorded his experiences. It was the fashion of the day for Western Europeans to document and publish their opinions of this region. Unlike several of his contemporaries, Barbot was repeatedly rejected by publishing houses. Not for fifty years and only after major alterations to the travel account did this journal finally go to press. As he searched for a publisher, Barbot edited his work ...

Abstract: "There is no single BPP," Mumia Abu Jamal has written. Rather, "there are many, unified in one national organization, to be sure, but separated by the various regional and cultural influences that form and inform consciousness." Between 1966 and 1982, there were more than forty Black Panther Party (BPP) chapters across America and abroad. These chapters differed from one another, as well as from the national headquarters in Oakland, California, in their methodologies, ideologies, and activities. For example, many New York Panthers were Muslims because of the influence of Malcolm X, but some others identified themselves as Yoruba, Santeria, and Puerto Rican—which differed greatly not only from popular perceptions of ...

Abstract: Elma Lewis was an artist, educator, and bridge leader activist. As a bridge leader, she occupied a position of formal leadership for most of her career, while she simultaneously served as an intermediary or conduit among and between grassroots activists and more formal, mainstream organizations. Her lifelong commitment to community- and institution building linked earlier, foundational, social uplift efforts of the 1930s and 1940s to broader, sustained struggles for educational equality, economic justice, and community control during the 1960s and 1970s. The cultural programs she developed and the subsequent cultural institutions she founded were integral to the collective articulation of black community ...

Abstract: Research tells us that financial hardship is a source of strain that may impact the health and well-being of men and women. Adults in working-class families especially may experience emotional and psychological distress linked to household financial distress (Okechukwu et al., 2012). Certainly, dramatic declines in the current economy demand that researchers pay particular attention to the growing number of families and individuals situated at the economic margins. However, the relationship between financial hardship and stress is especially troubling for African American working women. Relative to white women, this population is more likely to experience financial challenges due to poverty, single parenting ...

Abstract: In her book Talk with You like a Woman: African American Women, Justice, and Reform in New York, Cheryl Hicks presents a complex portrait of working-class black female criminality in early twentieth-century New York City. She succeeds particularly in describing the social relations that contribute to the labeling of women as criminals, including the politics of respectability and working-class activism. This intervention is in a similar vein as other feminist historiographies, including work by the scholar Gunja SenGupta (From Slavery to Poverty: The Racial Origins of Welfare in New York, 1840-19181 [New York: New York University Press, 2009]). Talk with You like A Woman looks beyond the framework of institutions ...

Abstract: In Beauty Shop Politics: African American Women's Activism in the Beauty Industry, Tiffany M. Gill provides a compelling analysis of how black beauticians found agency during and after the Jim Crow era of the early to mid-twentieth century—a time when black women faced immense racial, gender, and class opposition. Women generally conformed to the "cult of true womanhood," where they were expected to be pious, submissive, thrifty, and domestic. Yet, black beauticians negotiated their identities as black businesswomen and expanded traditional notions of womanhood by including their entrepreneurial activities as part and parcel of black women's respectability and duty to the race. Gill essentially argues that the ...
