Kendall Lovely Kendall Lovely KENDALL LOVELY (Diné) is a PhD candidate in history at UC Santa Barbara. She also holds an MA in museum studies from the University of New Mexico, an MA in comparative humanities from Brandeis University, and a BA in comparative literature and anthropology from the University of New Mexico. A scholar of the history of New Mexico, the Southwest more broadly, and occasionally classical receptions, her dissertation research examines intersecting ideas on race and reproduction within narratives of ancient origins, ancestries, and heritage for Native Americans in museum anthropology. This work also serves as a basis for her emerging curatorial praxis as a public historian.

Having previously discussed California’s history of plundering Native graves in his 2011 book Grave Matters, Platt now revisits this topic with his home institution, UC Berkeley, in mind. The book is both institutionally centered history and a call to action to make right the ongoing investment of UC Berkeley in its violent past. The book has a most urgent appeal to UC Berkeley–affiliated students, staff, faculty, and alumni, but also adds to broader understanding of the institutionalized stakes of colonialism across higher education and museum anthropology and to publics in California and the United States in general. Acting as a narrowed case study, with the interests of truth and reconciliation—or reckoning—Platt’s indictment of...

He routinely showed his entertainer’s instincts for, first, making the song-and-dance look easy and, second, looking exhausted when addressing the cameras after hours of work without sleep. Ease and exhaustion also characterized Davis’s efforts to dance, sing, act, write, and live his own story during the drive for civil rights that crested near the peak of his popularity. Davis could do it all, could make dynamic entertaining look like breathing, but as he did so, he was only a tap step or two removed from the long minstrel tradition from which this child vaudevillian emerged. In Matthew Frye Jacobson’s new book on Davis, we see one of the most famous African Americans of his time struggle and often fail to connect the example of his own talent to...

The unit, titled “Bloody Island Investigation,” scrutinizes the May 1850 massacre of Pomo Indians by U.S. Army soldiers at Clear Lake, California. Today known as the Bloody Island Massacre, this event exemplifies a pattern of indiscriminate civilian- and military-led violence against Indigenous peoples in the American conquest of California. Although this history is well known among scholars, the scholarship is absent from the California Department of Education’s content standards. The Bloody Island Investigation unit provides educators with models for including this history in middle- and high-school classrooms. The unit consists of a range of primary source materials, including U.S. Army orders and internal reports, newspaper articles, survivor recollections, and disconcertingly varied death-count estimates. By applying to primary sources the rigorous evaluative skills central to historical work, students can decide for themselves what happened at Bloody Island: massacre of innocents, military encounter between armed combatants, or something in between.","PeriodicalId":43253,"journal":{"name":"CALIFORNIA HISTORY","volume":"266 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135561896","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}

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 backdoors of restaurants. After the war, he opened a nightclub in Paris, in part to avoid the hate that was foisted on him as a Black man married to a White wife in America. On his return to Hollywood in the 1950s, Jeffries starred in several more movies and appeared in television shows throughout the 1960s and ’70s. He continued to sing in California nightclubs into the 1990s. Yet Jeffries was Black by choice, not birth. He was born Umberto Alejandro Ballentino in 1913, the son of a Sicilian father and Irish mother. He lived to age one hundred as a Black man and took the abuse that came with that identity. This article tells his story. It is one of many such stories of racial shape shifters that will appear in my book currently in progress, Race Changes.","PeriodicalId":43253,"journal":{"name":"CALIFORNIA HISTORY","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77243203","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}

Carol Lynn McKibben Carol Lynn McKibben CAROL LYNN McKIBBEN is an Organization of American Historians Distinguished Lecturer. She has been teaching courses in California history, urban history, and immigration history for the Department of History and Urban Studies at Stanford University since 2006 and is currently an affiliate lecturer with the Bill Lane Center for the American West. She has also engaged in numerous community-based research projects on the Monterey Peninsula for thirty years. Her first book, Beyond Cannery Row: Sicilian Women, Immigration, and Community in Monterey, 1915–1999 (2005), placed women at the center of a transnational migration story that focused on the ways migration reshaped Sicilian fishing families as they moved back and forth from villages in Sicily to Monterey, California, and, at the same time, altered the character of that city over the course of the twentieth century. Her second book, Racial Beachhead: Diversity and Democracy in a Military Town (2012), showed how federal investment and the diversity of personnel stationed at nearby Fort Ord transformed a small community, Seaside, into an important center of civil rights activism in California. Her most recent book, Salinas: The History of Race and Resilience in an Agricultural City (2022), tells the story of community building and struggle in a multiracial city.
