SUMMARY:Ronny Regev\, "'We Want No More Economic Islands': The Mobilization of the Black Consumer Market in the Postwar US"
DESCRIPTION:On February 14 Ronny Regev (History\, Hebrew University of Jerusalem) presents\, “‘We Want No More Economic Islands’: The Mobilization of the Black Consumer Market in the Postwar US.” \nWWII ushered in an era of economic growth in the United States\, which enshrined consumption as an integral part of liberal citizenship. African Americans were often excluded from the benefits of this “affluent society\,” due to the prevalence of segregation and discrimination in the name of white supremacy. Still\, throughout the 1940s and 1950s\, a network of black intellectuals and business leaders promoted their own vision of economic abundance. By emphasizing the power of the “black market\,” the Afro-American economic elite advocated for a black consumer society\, in which black shoppers used their buying power to promote racial uplift. Following the full contours of the African American consumer discourse reveals that the preoccupation with the black shopper turned this mundane identity into a political category and marked the commercial realm as a viable arena in the struggle for civil rights. \nDr. Regev is the author of Working in Hollywood: How the Studio System Turned Creativity into Modern Labor (2018)\, and is a scholar of modern popular culture and its intersection with mass media industries and US labor relations. \nStudents in any discipline may receive credit in History 294 for participating in this workshop. \nClick here to download the flyer for this event.

SUMMARY:LAIS Tertulia | "Race and Caste in Latin America\, India\, and the USA: A Global Conversation"
DESCRIPTION:Latin American and Iberian Studies invites you to a Tertulia in the Time of COVID\, 2020-2021! Two History Department faculty members will speak at this exciting event. \nIn her widely acclaimed book Caste: The Origins of our Discontents\, Isabel Wilkerson complicates the category of race\, as it is commonly understood in the US\, by bringing caste to the fore. She discusses the “caste” historical experience of the US in light of those in Nazi Germany and India. Insofar as the term “caste” was first introduced in India by the Portuguese at a time when the Spanish and Portuguese empires had a global colonial reach\, Wilkerson’s book provides a perfect pretext for the Program in Latin American and Iberian Studies (LAIS) to launch a global conversation. In this roundtable\, UCSB faculty from Black Studies\, History\, and LAIS specialized in the US\, India\, and Latin America discuss their take on caste\, race\, and Isabel Wilkerson. \nSpeakers (UC Santa Barbara)\nUtathya Chattopadhyaya is Assistant Professor of History at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. He specializes in the history of modern South Asia\, British imperialism\, and agrarian commodities in global markets. His essays have appeared in A Cultural History of Western Empires\, the South African Historical Journal\, Historical Reflections\, English Language Notes\, and the edited volume Animalia: An Anti-Imperial Bestiary for our Times. He is currently working on a monograph on cannabis and empire in British India. \nCecilia Méndez is a Peruvian historian specialized in the social and political history of the Andean region. She is the director of the Latin American and Iberian Studies Program at UC Santa Barbara and an Associated Professor in History. Her work calls the attention on the importance of late eighteenth-century\, and nineteenth-century political developments in shaping modern conceptions nationhood\, citizenship\, and “race.” \nTerrance Wooten is an Assistant Professor in Black Studies. He is currently working on his first book manuscript\, “Lurking in the Shadows of Home: Homelessness\, Carcerality\, and the Figure of the Sex Offender\,” which examines how those who have been designated “sex offenders” and are homeless in the Maryland/DC area are managed and regulated through social policies\, sex offender registries\, and urban and architectural design. His scholarly interests are located at the intersections of Black studies\, gender and sexuality studies\, studies of poverty and homelessness\, and carceral studies. \nJoin the Zoom meeting here: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/84061612112.

SUMMARY:ISRRAR Event–Dr. Rasul Miller\, "Black Internationalism and Black Sunni Muslims in America"
DESCRIPTION:During the interwar period\, the historic neighborhood of Harlem was home to a thriving Black political scene that included Garveyites\, Communists\, labor organizers\, anticolonial activists\, and politicized adherents of various new Black religious congregations. Shaykh Daoud Faisal and Mother Khadijah Faisal\, the architects of New York City’s first lasting Black Sunni Muslim community worked as artists\, organizers\, and propagators of Islam for over a decade in 1920s and 1930s Harlem\, and were deeply impacted by its Black internationalist political and cultural character. Upon moving to Brooklyn Heights in 1930 they built one of the twentieth century’s most influential Muslim religious communities in the US. In this talk\, Dr. Rasul Miller (History\, UC Irvine) explores the impact of Black internationalism on this formative Black Sunni religious institution\, and the broader Black Sunni religious and cultural orientations it helped to foster. \nJoin this Zoom event here: https://bit.ly/3hVdvP4  \n\nThis event is part of the ISRRAR Winter Quarter series. \nProfessor Butch Ware and the ISRRAR announce the Winter Quarter schedule for HIST 210RA: Race\, Faith\, Revolution. Graduate students are invited to register for this 2-unit seminar and to sign up for the listserv at http://tinyurl.com/ISRRARListServ. \nHow have Black metaphysics articulated with racial politics in order to advance efforts of justice\, liberation\, and self-actualization? In this very special year of 2021\, our seminar will take on manifestations of anti-black racism and imperialism\, as well as African and African Diasporic efforts to mediate between the seen and unseen worlds in struggles for justice. \nThis graduate seminar is part of a broader collaborative process meant to engage graduate students and faculty alike. The Initiative for the Study of Race\, Religion\, and Revolution (ISRRAR) seeks to foster a conversation on intersections of spirituality and social change wherein works on (and by) formerly colonized peoples are central\, rather than peripheral. \nThis approach is driven by an axial critique of the ways in which modernity’s core contradictions shape our shared pasts and presents. An era of revolutionary enlightenment\, we are told\, brought humanity out of the ‘dark ages.’ Freedom dawned. But this ‘age of lights’ brought the darkest of racial taxonomies\, and scales of slavery and human suffering unknown to ancient and medieval worlds. Reason proclaimed its mission: liberate humanity from the bondage of irrational religion. Yet rational political economies brought global empires\, world wars\, and ethnic genocides. Moreover\, new nationalisms have drawn on older religious repertories to define citizens and subject them to moral authority. Self-congratulatory Western tropes\, however\, tend to overlook the ubiquity of race and the persistence of faith\, portraying them as incidental rather than fundamental. \nColonized peoples in Africa and the Americas\, tell different tales. A generation of emergent scholarship has brought these forward. Scholars (many trained in interdisciplinary fields) have recovered ‘native’ narratives and ontologies of the oppressed\, often dislodging dominant meta-narratives in the study of the global West. In History 210 we engage live presentations of the works of scholars\, activists\, and artists whose conceptualization and execution of their research breaks new ground in these domains.
