Madre y Matríz: The Politics of Town-Making in Cordoba, 1887-1905
A history of colonial inscription: The wedding' and 'The buddy narrative' in Oklahoma statehood commemorations
This essay examines archival materials about the mock wedding staged to commemorate the creation of the State of Oklahoma in November 1907 in the town of Guthrie. It suggests that ‘The Wedding’ performs a number of ideological moves in establishing settler common sense for the state and for the nation. Most obviously, it updates the ‘Pocahontas marriage’, a founding myth of the United States from the seventeenth century, adapting it to modern col…
Joan Quigley. Just Another Southern Town: Mary Church Terrell and the Struggle for Racial Justice in the Nation’s Capital
On June 8, 1953, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously that two Reconstruction-era public accommodation statutes enacted in Washington, D.C., remained enforceable, thus finding that a local drugstore and eatery called Thompson’s was guilty of racial discrimination. The decision in District of Columbia v. John R. Thompson Co. Inc. vindicated civil rights activists’ coordinated effort to boycott, picket, and sit-in at commercial establishments a…
A Feminist Case for the Decolonial: Research and Teaching Notes
This essay suggests that the word decolonial offers analytic power for feminist historians of women. As a category, it creates interpretive space for female experience beyond the elite/subaltern binary, where arguably most women live and work in the modern period. As a reading practice, the decolonial fosters intellectual awareness of social and intellectual practices that neither address the state, as in “anti-imperialism,” nor proffer counter n…

Becoming Mama Maida: Maida Springer in New York City and Africa
If Puerto Rico passed as a state at the World’s Fair “Court of States,” so too did Liberia perform—or fail to perform—nation-statehood in a range of US venues, like the Columbian Exposition back in 1893. 1 Liberia cancelled its participation in the New York World’s Fair of 1939–1940, its pavilion sited, tentatively, in the US “government area” of the fairgrounds. The Liberian legislature’s request to the Firestone Corporation to float bonds to fu…
Exploring the Decolonial Imaginary: Four Transnational Lives
This study explores two categories--empire and citizenship--that historians usually study separately. It does so with a unifying focus on racialization in the lives of outstanding women whose careers crossed national borders between 1880 and 1965. It puts an individual, intellectual, and female face on transnational phenomena. This book sits at the intersection of two historical categories--empire and citizenship--that scholars usually study sepa…
Introduction to the project
The essays in this symposium were produced by undergraduate stu- dents enrolled in Portland State University's "capstone" program. A capstone is a senior-year course for community-based learning, scholarship, and service that is part of PSU's University Studies curriculum. This capstone was designed to help the Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA) of Greater Portland celebrate its centennial in 2001. Students engaged in archival research, c…
Ida B. Wells-Barnett and American Reform, 1880-1930
The 1989 film Ida B. Wells: A Passion for Justice introduced this Memphis and Chicago an-tilynching crusader, clubwoman, and community builder to an audience beyond the classroom. After Patricia A. Schechter's intellectual and social portraiture, historians must recognize the power of Ida B. Wells-Barnett's thought as well as the “talking through tears” through which she pleaded for action. (Wells married the reformer Ferdinand Barnett in 1895.) …
