Trinh","doi":"10.5406/19364695.42.4.13","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5406/19364695.42.4.13","url":null,"abstract":"In the 1960s, scholarship in America witnessed a movement from studies on civil rights topics to an emphasis on Black Power. One of the most signification contributions to this emerging trend is Joy Ann Williamson's book, Black Power on Campus: The University of Illinois, 1965–75. The book consists of seven chapters, emphasizing the evolution of Black consciousness on predominately white American higher education institutions during the critical period between the mid-1960s and mid-1970s. Williamson presents readers with vital insights and information about similar movements across the country by using the experience of African American students at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) as an illuminating microcosm.Williamson explores the formation of Black Power ideology, the conception of “Blackness,” and notion of self-advancement versus racial solidarity, using a plethora of sources from the late 1960s to early 1970s, together with interviews from student activists, former administrators, and teachers. She skillfully addresses the challenges of class and gender within the movement and the difficulties and grief that students had in defining “Blackness.” She examines the influence of this movement on the institution and the relationship between students’ views and educational reform. Williamson also illustrates the intricacy of student involvement during a time of protest that mirrored local and national concerns.The deliberate attempt to connect African American student organizing with the more significant Black Power movement distinguishes this book. Using the terminology of the Black Power movement and African American psychologist William Cross, Jr.’s “Nigrescence” or “Negro-to-Black Conversion Process model,” Williamson refers to some African American students as “Negroes” and portrays their aspirations as integrationists. She uses the term “Black” for those students who were dedicated to “instilling solidarity and unity among Black students, expressing the positive aspects of Black culture, and providing a training ground for political organization and leadership” (p. 28). Williamson's use of student testimonies effectively locates these distinctions in the split between the Civil Rights Movement and the adoption of the Black Power ideology. Sandra Norris, a former student, shares, “When I came there, I was . . . a student who happened to be Black. When I left, I was a Black who happened to be a student” (p. 49).The Black Student Association (BSA) became the hub of Black student power and organization. The BSA, the successor to a Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) group, established an organizational structure and newspaper that, despite occasionally engaging in internal conflict, was successful in pressuring the university to increase the recruitment of African American students, establish a Black cultural center, and to some extent, establish a Black studies program. The achievements occurred during the Black Power movem","PeriodicalId":14973,"journal":{"name":"Journal of American Ethnic History","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135364258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the seven editions of Songbook for the Danish People in America published between 1888 and 1949, the article demonstrates how the songbook was compiled as an ideological tool for intergenerational cultural transmission and cultural heritage maintenance, which ultimately laid the foundation for a new, Danish American cultural heritage. By linking the physical manifestation of the songbook with the semantic content of its songs and the social, embodied practice of singing, the article argues that the songbook became a locus for negotiations of ethnic identity, cultural heritage preservation, and acculturation among Danish Americans by the end of the nineteenth century and throughout the first half of the twentieth century. Each time a new edition was compiled, the editorial process spurred public debates about the current state of Danish ethnicity in America and the ideal strategy for integration. As such, the songbook offers a window on the variable and negotiable nature of ethnicity.","PeriodicalId":14973,"journal":{"name":"Journal of American Ethnic History","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48269985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The introduction of the term “Latino intermediary” here is used to describe the Mexican American truckers and crew leaders who most directly upheld the Midwest's agricultural industry and labor regime. From the end of World War I through the end of the Bracero Program, Latino intermediaries straddled the line between serving the interests of other ethnic Mexican migrant workers, growers, and themselves. While some intermediaries developed profitable business operations, their success often came at the expense of other Latino migrant agricultural workers. Examining the critical role of Latino intermediaries in sustaining Midwestern agribusiness deepens our understanding of how migration from the Southwest to the Midwest was managed and how Latinos negotiated emerging tensions of class and ethnicity.","PeriodicalId":14973,"journal":{"name":"Journal of American Ethnic History","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42665316","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
