Abstract Details

2012, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, History.
In the 1970s and 1980s, African Americans and Black Britons placed community activism at the center of their work. Understanding their communities as imperiled or neglected, they directed their efforts towards exposing and dismantling institutional racism in State agencies. This project considers Black activism around educational inequalities, police harassment, and health care to demonstrate various expressions of Black community activism. Because of the focus on local and national communities, activists participated in an expression of a politics of care, which placed the survival of Black families, children and communities, writ large, as the center of a socio-political platform. Connected to expressions of familial responsibilities, care, and love, activists saw their work on behalf of other Black people as central to the maintenance of Black communities locally, nationally, and sometimes globally.
