  • The Bronze Buckaroo

    Paul SpickardARTICLECalifornia History2023

His sweet, rich baritone fronted Duke Ellington’s orchestra in the 1941 megahit “Flamingo” and countless other tunes and set women’s hearts a-fluttering. He crooned with every major orchestra in the big-band era and entertained the troops in World War II. On tour in the South, he slept in Black hotels with his bandmates and ate from the…

  • Shape Shifting: Toward a Theory of Racial Change

    Open AccessPaul SpickardARTICLEGenealogy2022Cited by: 2References: 10

    We are accustomed to thinking of identities—racial, ethnic, often religious—as if they were permanent, unalterable features of individuals and groups. The theory enunciated here is directed to illumine individuals and groups whose lives are more complicated than that. Such people are shape shifters. At different times in their lives, or over generations in their families and communities, their identities have changed from one group to another. Th…

The transition from race to ethnicity is cogently demonstrated in the transformation…
