The Emancipation of the Negro and the Negro Spirituals From the Racialist Legacy of Arthur de Gobineau
In terms of what Africa means to millions of African Americans today, the racialist legacy of Arthur de Gobineau's Essay on the Inequality of the Human Races ([1853] 1915) has followed us. It has followed us via a gene- alogy of African and New World African scholars who adapted Gobineau's idea of black essentialism. This legacy in the thought of Edward Wilmot Blyden, Alexander Crummell, W. E. B. Du Bois, Kwame Nkrumah, Leopold Senghor, and other…

The purpose of this paper is to trace the movement of blues from the rural South (country to the North (city and to explain the diminishing of the rural residue of folklore in blues as it evolved into modern I will argue that the rural folkways that were part and parcel of country blues were at first modified in the new city setting, subsequently subjugated and sublimated in the modem urban context, and then increasingly (though never fully) forg…
Rapsody in Black: Utopian Aspirations
“It is not rapping per se— the style of vocalization, its syncopations, or its driving, percussive rhythms—that is dreaded by the protected white world. What threatens is the cultural and attitudinal blackness of the music, the verbal brashness of its performers, their irruption of speech, their ‘insurrection of subjugated knowledges’. ...

It is from that dramatic moment, rather than from its first General Conference in 1816, that the African Methodist Episcopal Church dates its founding. Thus, when the AME Church issued its new hymnal in 1984 it appeared with the proud title AMEC Bicentennial Hymnal…
