In Love and Struggle
In Love and Struggle centers on two of the twentieth century's most pioneering activist-intellectuals. With depth and nuance, the historian Stephen M. Ward delves into the Boggs's biographies and distinctive, yet intersecting, processes of politicization and radicalization. It begins by introducing readers to the different contexts that shaped the couple's formative years. On the one hand was James Boggs, born and reared in Jim Crow Alabama and m…
The East Is Black
Ethnic identity and racial contestation in cyberspace
This article examines Chinese cyberspace debates over the racial and national identity of a television show contestant Lou Jing, a biracial woman of Chinese and African American descent. We argue that the online commentary about her offers a productive entry point into contemporary Chinese cultural struggles over race. In particular, we consider how the Internet and other digital communication technologies are being mobilized as discursive sites …

The Routes Less Traveled
This essay considers James Boggs's intellectual work and radical maturation from the 1920s to the 1950s, focusing specifically on the ways travel—ideological and actual—affected his activism and perspective. I argue that to grasp more firmly his “roots” in Detroit's working-class black communities, it is necessary to consider the “routes” that brought him to Detroit and his ideological journeys both inside and outside auto plants. By analyzing Bo…
Sketches of Black Internationalism and Transnationalism
Thunder in the East
This essay considers the international activism of Robert and Mabel Williams, African American militants, and how they used political exile, travel, and media to build a cultural bridge to China. Throughout the 1960s, the Williamses distinguished African Americans and Chinese as constitutive members of an imaginary global community that was challenging white supremacy and Western imperialism. I concisely frame and contextualize the Williamses' re…
The Congress of African People
The Congress of African People (CAP) in the 1970s expanded the scope of Black cultural nationalism. However, though CAP was founded as a cultural nationalist party, the organization ultimately discarded this ideology for Maoist theory and practice. This work situates 1974 as a decisive year in CAP's ideological transition. CAP's transformation displays the ideological heterogeneity of Black nationalist politics and provides a multifaceted illustr…
