Send us a text message and tell us your thoughts.Journey through Black history and Caribbean connections, revealing the incredible legacy of Black missionaries in the British and Dutch Guianas. Dr. Briana Royster joins us to discuss how the African Methodist Episcopal Church and the National Baptist Convention played pivotal roles in connecting African American and Afro-Guyanese communities during the 19th and 20th centuries, connecting diasporic communities across the Atlantic and illuminating the intertwined stories of migration, race, and empowerment that span the Caribbean and the Americas. This episode sheds light on the shared struggles and cultural nuances, Black internationalism through religion, and how even Garveyism found contrasting receptions across lines of faith..Turning our focus to the influential role of Afro-Guyanese women, we highlight the contributions of figures like Mrs. Dorothy Morris and Mrs. Constance Luckie. These trailblazers leveraged mutual aid networks and navigated church bureaucracy to secure vital community resources. We discuss the importance of oral history and personal archives and the often-overlooked influence of religion on global Black solidarity and social justice. Join us as we celebrate these unsung heroes and reflect on the enduring power of faith to unite and uplift Black communities worldwide.Briana Adline Royster is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Gender and Race Studies at The University of Alabama. She received her PhD in History from New York University with concentrations in African Diaspora history and Latin American and Caribbean history. Her research interests center the histories of Black women primarily in the United States and the Caribbean during the first half of the twentieth century. Follow Dr. Royster on X.

How did Pan-African thought spread through North America in the twentieth century? The proliferation of Black liberation movements is explored in a new book called "Cross-Border Cosmopolitans: The Making of a Pan-African North America" written by McGill University historian Wendell Nii Laryea Adjetey (Nii Laryea Osabu I, Atrékor Wé Oblahii kè Oblayéé Mantsè).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Class: The Afrocentric Paradigm Written by: Rev. Renaldo McKenzie, PhD Student Professor: Dr. Ama Mazama Date: October 31, 2024 Topic: Presentation on Afrocentrism and Afrocentricity: How does Sara Balakrishnan Approach Afrocentrism and Afrocentricity? How does she differentiate between the two? Recently, there was a discussion in one of the classes at Temple University in the Africology and African American Studies Department about who is “Afrocentric” or not, based on various measures of what is employed by the student in his/her own understanding of the texts concerning the foundations of knowledge and the corruption of cultures which persist. In fact, what seemed to have been unclear among the students was whether there was any difference between “Afrocentrism” and “Afrocentric.” Yet, no one mentioned “Afrocentrism”. Instead, the students, in my estimation, spoke of “Afrocentricity” as the highest political tradition of “Afrocentrism” or African liberation. Some students argued that Dubois was not “Afrocentric,” and Fanon was also because they were not centered on Africa and still relied on European traditions within their strategies. It was as if Dubois and Fanon were not significant because they were not “Afrocentric” enough. Regardless, what they were was part of a tradition we call “Afrocentrism”. Sarah Balakrishnan attempted to delineate between “Afrocentricity” and “Afrocentrism” in her article entitled, “Afrocentrism Revisited,” Africa in the Philosophy of Black Nationalism.” She does not make the mistake of downplaying the contributions of any to our history. However, it discusses the history and development of Africa and its struggle for liberation within the historical context. In a sense, Balakrishnan attempted to reconcile the divide between those who advocated for one kind of liberation and “Africanism” or “Africanity” for another and brought clarity to the debate by suggesting where and when “Africanism” and its rich tradition begins: transcending “Afrocentricity” to considering the rich historical and political traditions and contributions towards African liberation starting with the first evidence of African civilization. Balakrishnan's approach is macroscopic and broad or considers the general and the whole instead of looking at particulars or aspects of “African” reality to make the tradition and experience inclusive. Nevertheless, she makes a comparison between the whole/general that is “Afrocentrism” and the particular that is “Black Nationalism” and “Afrocentricity”. Balakrishnan splits “Afrocentrism” into political traditions or movements such as “Black Nationalism”/Garveyism and “Afrocentricity” or the “Afrocentric” movement, etc. In terms of describing “Afrocentrism” within the tradition or movement of “Black Nationalism”, Balakrishnan uses a Marxist notion of self to conceptualize how, through strategies or systematic means, Africans became dispossessed of self. So, the repossession of self through self-discovery and developing a consciousness of resilience defined the black nationalist movements of the 19th and early 20th century: Pan African Movement, Garveyism, Negritude, the Black Panther, and (Independent) Movements. According to Balakrishnan, In this sense, Afrocentrism belonged to a political tradition known as Black nationalism, having formed one of its earliest variations. Unlike in the European mold, the nation of Black nationalism did not emerge technocratically with the modern state. Rather, on the collective level, Black nationalism has concerned the African's dispossession of the self: an ontological alienation consequent of the continuous subordination of Black life to capital, whether through slavery, colonization, or apartheid. In the pursuit of self-repossession (self-sovereignty), Black nationalism seeks to infuse Blackness with meaning and personhood, with liberty and destiny.

Marcus Garvey was a prominent figure in Black nationalism and Pan-Africanism, whose ideology, known as Garveyism, continues to influence African pride and unity. Garvey championed the back-to-Africa movement, advocating for the empowerment of Africans and the African diaspora in the face of poverty, discrimination, and colonialism. We discuss Garvey's vision, the challenges he faced from Western authorities, and ongoing debates surrounding his legacy. Follow us on IG: itsacontinentpod and Twitter: itsacontinent.

The Lecture this week was multifaceted and covered a wide: Exploring The islands of The Caribbean and The Limitations of Garveyism, Black Nationationasm and NeoLiberal Globalization. The Lecture delivered by Rev. Renaldo McKenzie, Author of NeoLiberal Globalization Reconsidered, Adjunct Professor in Caribbean Thought at Jamaica Theological Seminary. The class was very interactive and engaging as the students provided a report describing the Caribbean Islands. However, the class reviewed last week's Lecture entitled: The Paradox of Sovereignty: Cuba and Haiti's Struggle for Freedom and the Challenge of Development (Chapter Excerpt). We answered the Brain Teaser Quiz and delved deeper into what the activity revealed or was driving home. Brain Teaser: Quiz What do Haiti and Cuba not have in common with D.R., Jamaica, Trinidad, and Barbados? 1. Poorest in the world 2. Black and brown peoples 3. Granted freedoms 4. Taken Freedoms 5. Embargoes and shaky diplomacy and international relations 6. Debt, dependency and non-competitiveness 7. Formerly colonized Options: A. 2, 5, 6 and 7 B. 1, 4 and 5 C. 1 only 3 D. 3 and 4 E. 1, 3, and 4 F. All of the above The Answer Reveals A Complex Tapestry of Independence and Adversity. With its vibrant cultures, rich histories, and diverse peoples, the Caribbean region has long been a subject of fascination and study. A Deeper Look: Taken Freedoms and Nationalist Independence Leads to Mixed Results. In the mosaic of the Caribbean, two nations, Cuba and Haiti, stand out not only for their vibrant cultures and tumultuous histories but also for the unique paths they traversed in their quests for freedom and independence. While their counterparts, including the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Trinidad, and Barbados, attained their freedoms through colonial concessions, Cuba and Haiti defiantly seized their destinies, forging independent nations amid the crucible of revolution and resistance. However, the seemingly noble act of self-liberation has been fraught with profound challenges, perpetuating a paradox wherein the pursuit of sovereignty has engendered poverty, instability, and diplomatic isolation on the world stage. Cuba and Haiti's decision to take their freedoms into their own hands, eschewing the shackles of colonial rule, is emblematic of their fierce determination to chart autonomous development trajectories. Haiti's groundbreaking revolution in 1804 shattered the chains of slavery, establishing the world's first black republic and inspiring oppressed peoples globally to aspire for liberation. Similarly, Cuba's revolutionary struggle in the 20th century, culminating in Fidel Castro's ascent to power in 1959, heralded a new era of socialist governance and national sovereignty. However, the euphoria of liberation soon collided with the harsh realities of post-colonial existence as both nations grappled with.... Notes available in #theneoliberalcommentary via LinkedIn on Sunday 2.26.24. The Lecture then segwayed into the new topic on: Question: What distinguishes Haiti and Cuba from the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Trinidad, and Barbados? Please answer and provide a brief synopsis of these islands, their socio-political economy, religions, demographics and histories, and their current position today?

Speaking about the reason why the Prophet reconnected the Asiatics of North America with their fellow Asiatics worldwide with a focus on the Asiatics of North, South, Central America, and the Caribbean (West Indies). The Prophet let it be known in chapter 45 that the world is MUCH larger than the United States. We must remember this and keep in mind that the Forerunner to the Prophet, a modern day John the Baptist, Marcus Mosiah Garvey, and his wife Amy Jacques Garvey were both born in Jamaica (West Indian). Other notable leaders as well such as Malcolm X and Minister Farrakhan are also West Indian. Farrakhan's parents are from St. Kitts and Jamaica while Malcolm X's mother was from Grenada and his father was from Georgia. The mother of Malcolm X, Louise Little is from the island of Grenada. Apparently her grandparents were “liberated Africans” from West Africa, probably Nigeria that arrived in Grenada in the mid nineteenth century. Their family still owns land in Grenada to this day.2 “She (Louise) left Grenada in 1917, she arrived in Montreal, and then lived there for about two years. In Montreal, she was first introduced to Garveyism through her uncle, Edgerton Langdon, the son of Mary Jane and Jupiter Langdon. In Montreal, she joined the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), founded by Marcus Garvey and Amy Ashwood Garvey, and later met Earl Little, who was from Georgia. They married in Montreal, moved down to Philadelphia, and then to Omaha in 1921. And, lastly, I've had the opportunity to meet with some of her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She has a very large and extended family in Michigan and elsewhere.”2 “She (Louise) was a committed Garveyite grassroots activist. She spoke multiple languages—English French, Patois. She taught her children the French alphabet. She insisted that her children read newspapers such as the Negro World, the official periodical of the UNIA, and newspapers from Grenada. ”2 “Point du Sable married a Potawatomi woman named Kitihawa (Christianized to Catherine) on 27 October 1788, in a Catholic ceremony in Cahokia in the Illinois Country, a longtime French colonial settlement on the east side of the Mississippi River.[15] It is likely that this couple was married earlier in the 1770s in a Native American tradition.”3 “Kitihawa Point Du Sable (also known by her Christian name, Catherine)[1] was a Potawatomi woman who, with her husband Jean Baptiste, established the first permanent settlement in what is now the city of Chicago.”4 “A December 2019 article in the Chicago Tribune mentions a proposal to rename Lake Shore Drive for Jean Baptiste Point du Sable.[4] The article suggests rethinking the history of the city and considering the centuries that Native American people used the area as a trading post -- and renaming Lake Shore Drive for Kitihawa instead.”4 Sources: 1. http://www.noirguides.com/facesofafrobelizeans.html 2. https://www.aaihs.org/on-louise-little-the-mother-of-malcolm-x-an-interview-with-erik-s-mcduffie/ 3. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Baptiste_Point_du_Sable 4. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitihawa_Point_du_Sable https://theskydeck.com/chicago-facts/who-founded-chicago/ Saudi Arabia - Culture, Etiquette and Business Practices (commisceo-global.com) A Black Imam Breaks Ground in Mecca - The New York Times (nytimes.com) Sheik Adil Kalbani - Search (bing.com) Bedouin (3) | Al Ain | Pictures | United Arab Emirates in Global-Geography Afro-Peruvian rights of national interest in Peru | News | ANDINA - Peru News Agency https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=afro+peruvians&form=HDRSC3&first=1&cw=1427&ch=773 https://pacotaylor.medium.com/ancient-chinese-secret-these-14-phenomenal-photos-reveal-there-were-indeed-black-chinese-6261468b4102 https://realhistoryww.com/world_history/ancient/China_2.htm --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/moorish-americans/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/moorish-americans/support
The intention today was to explore, A. The Socio-Political Context of Jamaica and the Caribbean; B. The limitations of Nationalism and Garveyism, C. Caribbean Fanonism. However, we barely addressed those topics as we began by, Tracing an outline of Caribbean within Caribbean Thought: -1492-3 - Columbus- knowledge religion people wealth -Ulterior motive: gold/profit/greed/international competition capital -Slave trade -Sugar plantation society -Heroes and maroons-Abolition riots and loss -Freedom: Emancipation and Independence -Servitude and Indentured labor from China and India -Coming of the Jews-Blacks work for wages -War anti-imperialism Marxism vs capitalism -Nationalism (ideology) 1940-1955 — 1970s 1980s-Independence and short-term prosperity (Bauxite and ownership)1970 Oil crises -Migration (1950s)-Manley vs Seaga (Jamaica)-Castro (Cuba)-Bishop (Grenada)-Migration- brain drain - 1970sRemittances (1970s - 2019)-Caribbean Identity (struggle, conquest, schizophrenia poverty and inequality and dependent capitalism -Globalization -Corruption, Crime and violence -Towards the Future: If the Caribbean is an invention of the 20th century, it seems certain to be reinterpreted and perhaps transcended in the 21st century-Faith, Culture, music, sports and opportunity (science and technology, brain drain as export value, information and technology)-Community: collective sense yet its haphazard and not strategically effective and targeted. We Revisited the issue of Identity within a male-dominated Caribbean society inherited from a Eurocentric Theology that influences sexual identity and places limits on the woman. We asked are institutions inclusive or promote Caribbean feminist ideology of equality, which may mean jettisoning language of privilege? We discussed whether Columbus really discovered or captured Jamaica and the New World, concluding that it depends on the logic or truth that we follow - Pragmatic, Coherent or Correspondence theory of truth. We discussed Rex Nettleford's work on Identity saying: The challenge of identity can best be resolved by a question: Who am I is better answered by who I want to be? We defined some concepts important to Caribbean Thought: Feminism, Nationalism as against Fascism and Extremism, the meaning of socio-political as we explored the socio-political context of Jamaica and by extension the Caribbean. We underscored the importance of the post colonialist method of analyzing and presenting perspectives, lifting up Michel Foucault, Kant, Gramsci, Kenneth Clark etc. We briefly review the importance of Greek chauvinism and Roman influence in the development of Western civilization steeped in privilege. From there we discussed how that has come to define the new world. Then there's the current condition in the world today that the Caribbean find itself asking how it is affected by tense conditions: Who Rules the world? If Corporations/multinationals driven by greed rule America, the most dominant country in the world despite the fact that leadership in the center in softening. However, China and Russia understand this and have used strategy to develop their countries into a market that can entice American Businesses racing to cash in. But China controls consumer behavior and therefore this poses a threat to American dominance as their corporations become dependent on China's market. China and Brazil are also ditching the dollar for Krypto as they seek to unseat American dominance in the world. How will this affect Caribbean? We explored the situation in Singapore and Vietnam comparing them with the Caribbean and how their socio-economic outlook is brighter as investors are rushing there. What can we learn from this? We concluded discussing Neoliberalism, Chapter 3: the Socio-political Context of the Caribbean. The course is offered at The Jamaica Theological Seminary, 3 hours weekly and is a 2200 level course within the Humanities. https://jts.edu.jm. Lecturer: Rev.

This is a black arts and culture site. We will be exploring the African Diaspora via the writing, performance, both musical and theatrical (film and stage), as well as the visual arts of Africans in the Diaspora and those influenced by these aesthetic forms of expression. I am interested in the political and social ramifications of art on society, specifically movements supported by these artists and their forebearers. It is my claim that the artists are the true revolutionaries, their work honest and filled with raw unedited passion. They are our true heroes. Ashay! Professor Ampim has taken educational tours to North Africa and Central America. In addition, he has conducted an extensive 13-country research tour to all of the major museums, institutes and libraries throughout America, Europe and Canada, which house ancient Egyptian and Nubian artifacts. Since the 1990s, he has completed several field research projects in Egypt, Nubia, and the Sudan to continue his primary research at dozens of field sites to study ancient African social organization and spiritual culture, document modern forgeries, and to record the vanishing evidence of classical African civilizations in the Nile Valley. After visiting the King Ramses II exhibit at the deYoung Museum, I had to speak to Professor Ampim to get the truth about King Ramses and clarity on what I saw at the museum.

The Colonial Office was the government department responsible for Britain's colonies at various points throughout the 18th to 20th centuries. It issued instructions to colonial governors, authorised expenditures, and determined the broad direction of policy for the Empire. In this episode, we look at three documents that provide insight into the experiences of people living under British rule: a 1921 letter from black sailors in Wales to the Prime Minister inspired by Garveyism; a 17th-century slave-trading ship's journal; and service records of African soldiers fighting in World War I.

Greetings Glocal Citizens! This week in our final #herstory in our 2022 March series, I'm happy to welcome Black feminist researcher, writer, and curator Nydia Swaby. Nydia is a Jamaican-American and have called London home for the past decade. She has a PhD in Gender Studies (SOAS (https://www.soas.ac.uk)), an MA in Women's History [Sarah Lawrence College], and a BA in Anthropology and African American Studies [Rollins College]. Her practice builds on theories of racial, gendered, diasporic, and queer formation, Black feminism, Black studies, and my previous experience working at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. In her creative approach to knowledge production, she uses archives, ethnography, photography, film, and the imagination to curate programs and visual narratives, write essays and performance pieces exploring the gendered and diasporic dimensions of Black being and becoming. She also creates ancestral altars using family pictures and memorabilia, found photographs and archival images, West African textiles and wood carvings, crystals, fossils, stones, shells, and other curios. These practices converge in her forthcoming monograph, Amy Ashwood Garvey and the Future of Back Feminist Archives (Lawrence Wishart, Summer 2022 (https://www.nydiaswaby.com/amy-ashwood-garvey-and-the-future-of-black-feminist-archives)) and Caird Research Fellowship at The National Maritime Museum, ‘Curating Archives of Affect: Black Feminist Pasts, Presents, and Futures' (December 2021 - September 2020), and my ongoing visual series, ‘Becoming with Archive: Blackness, Gender, Diaspora (https://www.nydiaswaby.com/becoming-with-archive)' (2010 - Present). Alongside her practice-based research, Nydia work as the Curator of Learning at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London, where she collaborates with academics, curators, artists, and writers to develop a multi-disciplinary, practice-based research and learning program. She is also a member of Feminist Review's Editorial Collective and the Curator of Programmes, and co-edited a recent issue on queer, feminist, diasporic, and decolonial archives.

A long-time friend of Ambassador Shabazz (eldest daughter of Malcolm X), Dr. Julius Garvey is the only surviving son of the founder of the United Negro Improvement Association, the Honorable Marcus Garvey, and activist and journalist, Amy Jacques Garvey. In this episode, he shares insights with host, Brad Johnson and the Ambassador on topics including his view on the current world order being out of balance, spirituality being replaced by scientific materialism, the Euro-centric distortion of history, African civilization being the starting point of all civilizations, and the concept of a return to social entrepreneurship as part of an African mindset. Born in Jamaica in 1933, Dr. Garvey attended school in Jamaica before attending McGill University earning his undergraduate and medical degrees. As a highly accomplished surgeon and medical professor, Dr. Garvey has held a number of positions in his career including teaching at Columbia University and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, as well as holding several leadership positions including Chief of Thoracic and Vascular Surgery at Queens Hospital Center and Wyckoff Heights Medical Center. Dr. Garvey has lectured in Agroecology in South Africa, Ghana, Namibia, Jamaica and Trinidad, while also lecturing annually at the Global Health Catalyst Summit since 2016. Continuing to honor his father's legacy, Dr. Garvey lectures on his legendary father's life and teachings known as Garveyism. Marcus Garvey was a human and civil rights hero deported to Jamaica having been falsely charged and convicted of conspiracy to commit mail fraud when his civil rights activities in the United States caught the attention of FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. Known as the "Father of Black Nationalism", he was heavily involved in promoting the Universal Negro Improvement Association formed in 1914 that stressed pride among people of African descent across the globe, excellence of character, and racial unity among African-Americans. Currently, there is a petition drive to exonerate The Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey, Sr. posthumously. One hundred thousand signatures (100,000) are required during the month of February 2022 to obligate President Biden to address the request.

Kate Dossett's book Radical Black Theatre in the New Deal (UNC Press, 2020) turns conventional understandings of the Federal Theatre Project on its head. This book shines a light on the extraordinary work done by the FTP's Negro Units, which staged classic plays with Black casts as well as new plays by Black writers like Theodore Ward. These works reflected contemporary conflicts within the Black community, including the competing radicalisms of Garveyism and Marxism, the place of the folk tradition in contemporary Black culture, and the role of woman as leaders in the Black community. Far from dry propaganda pieces, these plays were a vital response to a period of profound upheaval. Andy Boyd is a playwright based in Brooklyn, New York. He is a graduate of the playwriting MFA at Columbia University, Harvard University, and the Arizona School for the Arts.
In this chapter Haywood explores various explanations and solutions to the racist problems he and other Black people faced at the time, from assimilation and the NAACP, to Garveyism and the Back to Africa Movement, and Socialism
#Marcus Mosiah Garvey Jr. ONH (17 August #1887 – 10 June 1940) was a #Jamaican-born political activist, publisher, journalist, entrepreneur, and orator. He was the founder and first President-General of the Universal #Negro Improvement Association and #African Communities League (UNIA-ACL). Ideologically a black nationalist and Pan-Africanist, his ideas came to be known as #Garveyism. #Garvey was born to a moderately prosperous Afro-Jamaican family in Saint Ann's Bay, Colony of #Jamaica and apprenticed into the print trade as a teenager. Working in #Kingston, he became involved in trade unionism before working briefly in Costa Rica, Panama, and #England. Returning to Jamaica, he founded UNIA in 1914. In 1916, he moved to the #UnitedStates and established a UNIA branch in #Harlem. Emphasizing unity between Africans and the #African diaspora, he campaigned for an end to #European colonial rule across the continent, Message from the grave #MarcusMosiahGarvey-jr 17th August #1887-10th June #1940

The parish of Clarendon is located in the center of Jamaica with Bull Head Mountain as the focal point. Call in to chat 661-467-2407 Marcus Mosiah Garvey Jr. was a Jamaican-born political leader, publisher, journalist, entrepreneur, and orator. He was President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League (UNIA-ACL). He also was President and one of the directors of the Black Star Line, a shipping and passenger line incorporated in Delaware. The Black Star Line went bankrupt and Garvey was imprisoned for mail fraud in the selling of its stock. His movement then rapidly collapsed. Prior to the 20th century, leaders such as Prince Hall, Martin Delany, Edward Wilmot Blyden, and Henry Highland Garnet advocated the involvement of the African diaspora in African affairs. Garvey was unique in advancing a philosophy to inspire a global mass movement and economic empowerment focusing on Africa known as Garveyism. Garveyism would eventually inspire others, ranging from the Nation of Islam to the Rastafari movement (which proclaim Garvey as a prophet) and the Black Power Movement of the 1960s. Garveyism intended persons of African ancestry in the diaspora to "redeem" the continent of Africa and put an end to European colonialism. His essential ideas about Africa are stated in an editorial in the Negro World entitled "African Fundamentalism", where he wrote: "Our union must know no clime, boundary, or nationality… to let us hold together under all climes and in every country.

It is my claim that the artists are the true revolutionaries, their work honest and filled with raw unedited passion. They are our true heroes. Ashay! 1. In the United States there are 2.2 million people in prison, up from only 300,000 forty years ago, yet for most Americans, prisons have never felt more distant or more out of sight. A cinematic journey through a series of seemingly ordinary American landscapes, The Prison in Twelve Landscapes excavates the hidden world of the modern prison system and explores lives outside the gates affected by prisons. Join us to talk to Brett Story, whose film, The Prison in Twelve Landscapes, premieres on Independent Lens Monday, May 8, 2017, 10:00-11:00 PM ET (check local listings) on PBS.
