Black-Palestinian Transnational Solidarity
This introductory essay outlines the context for this special issue of the Journal of Palestine Studies on Black-Palestinian transnational solidarity (BPTS). Through the analytic of “renewal,” the authors point to the recent increase in individual and collective energies directed toward developing effective, reciprocal, and transformative political relationships within various African-descendant and Palestinian communities around the world. Drawi…
Fight the Power
Thank You, Black Twitter”
In this article, I examine the role of Black Twitter as a “digital counterpublic” that enables critical pedagogy, political organizing, and both symbolic and material forms of resistance to anti-Black state violence within the United States. Focusing primarily on post-Ferguson events, I spotlight the ways that Black people have used Black Twitter and other digital counterpublics to engage in forms of pedagogy that reorganize relations of surveill…
From Ferguson to Palestine
Using the genre of life writing, I explore how the praxis of Palestine delegation work spotlighted the contours, possibilities, and limits of how I understood and performed Black-Palestinian political solidarity. Focusing on three particular experiences that stem from a 2014 "Palestine to Ferguson" solidarity delegation, I examine how the trip created spaces for critical reflection, self-critique, and reconsideration of my own identity as a polit…

Gentrifier demystifies the idea of gentrification by opening a conversation that links the theoretical and the grassroots, spanning the literature of urban sociology, geography, planning, policy, and more.

In this article, we hold that both race and gender continue to work in tandem to produce a certain set of social outcomes for young Black men in America despite this assertion. The educational, economic, and social mobility of young Black men is often limited due to structural constraints that are exacerba…

Bringing back sweet (and not so sweet) memories
This article examines the salience of collective ‘memory’ and ‘remembering’ among a group of students in Hip‐Hop Lit, a hip‐hop centered English literature course that I co‐taught at ‘Howard High School,’ an urban high school in the Northeastern United States. Specifically, this article examines the memory work that occurred within Hip‐Hop Lit in response to the students’ interactions with one of the course texts, Things Done Changed by rapper No…
Using Multimedia to Engage African American Children in Classroom Discourse
The purpose of this study is to examine the discourses that emerged among third- and fourth-grade African American students and their teachers as they read stories about the Underground Railroad and complete a computer module. The study is framed by emergent, sociocultural, and critical race perspectives. Qualitative methods are used to determine the amount and quality of science discourse that emerged in three urban classrooms. Results show cult…

In this article, the author examines the dilemmas that emerged in his role as teacher-researcher in Hip-Hop Lit, a hip-hop-centered literature class within an evening education program. Specifically, the author examines the complex and often competing roles and identities that he performed within the research context, as well as during the process of ethnographic writing. The author details how these roles and identities were mediated by the vari…
