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: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:Rosemarie Zagarri on "The Murky Past and Contested Future of the Electoral College"
DESCRIPTION:On October 24 at 4:00pm in HSSB 4080\, Professor Rosemarie Zagarri of George Mason University will present a talk titled “The Murky Past and Contested Future of the Electoral College.” The event is free and open to the public. \nThis talk will examine the roots of the American system for electing its president and explore the possibility–as well as the feasibility–of changing the existing system. The origins of the Electoral College lay in a series of tumultuous conflicts at the Constitutional Convention of 1787. At stake was not only what the presidency should entail but how the new chief executive should be elected. Memories of George III’s abuses of power haunted delegates. Fears of mob rule competed with anxieties over lodging too much power in the hands of a single individual. Representatives jealously guarded their own states’ prerogatives. The solution–the Electoral College–was a jerry-built compromise that satisfied no one completely. \nAlmost as soon as it went into operation\, the flaws and defects of the Electoral College became evident. The emergence of a two-party political system intensified its structural weaknesses. Yet the system has endured. The question facing Americans today is: What can be done to remedy the inadequacies of the Electoral College? \nClick here to download the flyer for this event.

SUMMARY:Talk by Professor Ula Taylor\, UC Berkeley: "The Promise of Patriarchy: Women and the Nation of Islam"
DESCRIPTION:The partiarchal structure of the Nation of Islam (NOI) promised black women the prospect of finding a provider and a protector among the organization’s men\, who were fiercely committed dto these masculine roles. Black women’s experience in the NOI\, however\, has largely remained on the periphery of scholarship. In her presentation\, Ula Taylor documents their struggle to escape the devaluation of black womanhood while also clinging to the empowering promises of patriarchy. Taylor shows how\, despite being relegated to a lifestyle that did not encourage working outside of the home\, NOI women found freedom in being able to bypass the degrading experiences connected to labor performed largely by working-class black women and in raising and educating their children in racially affirming environments. \nCo-sponsored by the College of Letters and Sciences; the MultiCultural Center; the Department of History; Hull Chair in Feminist Studies; and Black Studies
