"My subjects don't have the same language of #trauma that we use today, but they are articulating being completely changed by what happened to them in these attacks."

#KidadaEWilliams talks about writing and teaching #BlackHistory, and about her new book #ISawDeathComing: A History of Terror and Survival in the War Against #Reconstruction

I feel this insensitivity to the way black embodiment in particular is adopted and appropriated (hairstyles, aesthetics, expressions, language, etc) reflects how the black body itself is typically treated and perceived as in the US and beyond--seen as expendable, extractable, and usable as mediums of self-expression, fulfillment, enjoyment, et cetera.

Hartman once again enters the chat #BlackStudies

Hard copies arrived! Is part of the fun of publishing just the celebratory posts at every stage? Clearly! My new open access mini-book is in my hands.

I made my first #zine this past April.

Title is "Three Theories of Black Women's #History

The purpose of this zine is to serve as a primer for the study of the history of Black women in the United States.

The three theories are
helpful for anyone interested in the study of #BlackStudies, #BlackHistory, and #BlackWomensHistory in particular. There's also a recommended reading list at the end. Link it in next post.

My newest mini-book #Anthroposcreens is live now at Cambridge UP! It's #OpenAccess so you can read it online or download it as a PDF, but you can also order a print copy for yourself or your library.

Redoing my #Introduction :)

I'm Andrea, PhD student in #BlackStudies at UT Austin. Research interests include #Resistance, and #Hoodoo. Right now doing a project on Black midwifery and reproductive justice.

Before UT, I taught Spanish for five years. Sometimes, I make #Art, and I would love to be a curator one day.

I am a queer black femme and I prioritize the voices of queer black and indigenous folks. Happy to be here!

Condescension and white/male hostility gets muted in these parts.

Pick up your free e-book copy of the new collection Our #History Has Always Been Contraband: In Defense of #BlackStudies
Edited by Colin Kaepernick, Robin D. G. Kelley and Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor
https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2154-our-history-has-always-been-contraband

Spanning nearly 200 years, with essays by authors like Douglass, Hurston, Du Bois, Baldwin, Davis, Smith, Butler, hooks, and many more

I want to share a little about my research as a PhD student in #BlackStudies.

A very brief summary: My focus is on black midwives during the time of enslavement, uplifting their lives and stories, and analyzing their complicated statuses. I'm thinking that sharing lil toots about my project here and there would be cute. Also I'm procrastinating preparing for a presentation I have to give about it Friday.

So the first midwife I'm gonna tell y'all about is Katy Elmore.

Who’s Afraid of Black History?

As the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. so aptly put it, “No society can fully repress an ugly past when the ravages persist into the present.” Addressing these “ravages,” and finding solutions to them — a process that can and should begin in the classroom — can only proceed with open discussions and debate across the ideological spectrum, a process in which Black thinkers themselves have been engaged since the earliest years

The Guardian has published the most recent letter against the censorship of intersectionality and Black feminism in the AP African American Studies course by College Board. Please distribute and sign on!

"[T]he worst thing that happened to Black history during #BlackHistoryMonth was not Ron DeSantis banning critical concepts and approaches—it was the College Board revising its new #AfricanAmericanStudies curriculum to meet all of his demands. But now scholars in #BlackHistory, #BlackStudies and related fields are fighting back. #KimberléCrenshaw will explain. She founded the #AfricanAmericanPolicyForum."
