Our Story-Their Version- Past is Prologue- Taking the Blues and Turning it into Green!

I love history and this link to recent dissertations reminds me that  age of militancy, cultural revolution and black power may have passed.  Nonetheless and perhaps all the more,the academic subject of oppression and liberation struggles is still of value in some significant quarters.(pun intended) Whether the slave quarters or the quarter acre or the 40 acres have vibrancy as metaphors or  present day neo-gentrification, scanning the citations below reminds us of the vibrant and fertile field of dreams and visions for some and deep nightmares for others.

1 of 5Oppression and trauma: Examining the relationship between perceptions of 
racial oppression and the presence of trauma symptoms in Black AmericansAuthor:

Racial oppression: A life of forced compliance with unfair limitations based 
upon race; a life fraught with the frustration of dreams, the anguish of 
rejection and the despair of chronic failure. For some it is unimaginable, but 
for many Black Americans oppression is a traumatically painful and 
psychologically disturbing reality. The following is a quantitative analysis of 
the relationship between oppression and trauma as it relates to adult Black 
Americans, in the wake of 400 years of chattel slavery, nearly 100 years of 
segregation and Jim Crow, and 5 more decades of overt and covert racial 
oppression. This study re-operationalizes our concept of trauma and quantifies 
the oppression-trauma relationship in a way that elucidates new understandings 
of the psychological state of Black Americans today. Perspectives and insights 
gleaned from this study, if applied in practice, should reduce the frequency of 
misconceptualizations and possible misdiagnoses among Black clients in mental 
health treatment settings.Links: http://RT4RF9QN2Y.search.serialssolutions.com/?ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&ctx_enc=info:ofi/enc:UTF-8&rfr_id=info:sid/ProQuest+Dissertations+%26+Theses+Full+Text&rft_val_fmt=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:dissertation&rft.genre=dissertations+%26+theses&rft.jtitle=&rft.atitle=&rft.au=Swift%2C+Monique+D.&rft.aulast=Swift&rft.aufirst=Monique&rft.date=2011-01-01&rft.volume=&rft.issue=&rft.spage=&rft.isbn=9781124177458&rft.btitle=&rft.title=Oppression+and+trauma%3A+Examining+the+relationship+between+perceptions+of+racial+oppression+and+the+presence+of+trauma+symptoms+in+Black+Americans&rft.issn=http://RT4RF9QN2Y.search.serialssolutions.com/?ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&ctx_enc=info:ofi/enc:UTF-8&rfr_id=info:sid/ProQuest+Dissertations+%26+Theses+Full+Text&rft_val_fmt=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:dissertation&rft.genre=dissertations+%26+theses&rft.jtitle=&rft.atitle=&rft.au=Swift%2C+Monique+D.&rft.aulast=Swift&rft.aufirst=Monique&rft.date=2011-01-01&rft.volume=&rft.issue=&rft.spage=&rft.isbn=9781124177458&rft.btitle=&rft.title=Oppression+and+trauma%3A+Examining+the+relationship+between+perceptions+of+racial+oppression+and+the+presence+of+trauma+symptoms+in+Black+Americans&rft.issn=Subject:

3 of 5The flames of insurrection: Fearing slave conspiracy in early America 
1670-1780Author: Sharples, Jason T.Publication info: Princeton University, 
ProQuest, UMI Dissertations Publishing, 2010. 3424095.http://pitt.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.proquest.com/docview/756757634?accountid=14709Abstract: 
Focusing on the phenomenon of the slave conspiracy panic, "The Flames of 
Insurrection: Fearing Slave Conspiracy in Early America" uncovers shared 
cultural scripts with which colonists and enslaved people approached and 
described their societies' vulnerability to slave rebellion between 1670 and 
1780. Major conspiracy scares have long been understood as slaves' failed 
attempts at organized rebellion. Increasingly, however--in cases from 
eighteenth-century New York to nineteenth-century Charleston--scholars have 
debated whether any given panic was an authentic averted plot or an overreaction 
to a false alarm. This dissertation pushes beyond the narrow question of whether 
or not slaves intended to rebel, which is based on our own modern liberal 
assumptions about the possibility and value of collective violence. Instead, the 
present study utilizes 87 known conspiracy panics, whether initiated by masters 
or slaves, to open up new interpretations of the fear that permeated precarious 
colonial slave societies. My research relies on an archive of investigation 
records, trial minutes, government reports, and private correspondence to 
unearth and contextualize how blacks and whites understood the prospect of 
insurrection. I have discovered that an evolving collection of shared 
imaginings, derived from empirical experience and literary representation, 
shaped the anticipation of insurrection and the unfolding of conspiracy panics 
in British colonies throughout North America and the Caribbean. In particular, 
white settlers insisted, and enslaved blacks confessed, that several features 
consistently marked slave conspiracies--including, for example, ambushes at 
decoy fires, incitement by non-slave instigators(often Catholic agents), and 
secret officer lists written in the style of an English militia. Recurring 
elements such as these came to be instrumental in sparking and fueling 
conspiracy panics, and played a part in attempts at making sense of them 
afterward. The present dissertation re-envisions purported slave conspiracies as 
culturally constructed group panics rather than straightforward signals of 
rebellion. This clarification reveals that, whatever limited violence the 
enslaved may have intended, common cultural scripts immediately took over in 
guiding the anticipation, experience, and memory of plots and insurrections as 
narrowly avoided catastrophes. The fears that blacks and whites articulated 
during conspiracy panics were schematic diagrams mapping out a society's own 
understanding of its strengths and weaknesses: slaveholders articulated 
precisely how they believed their control could be overturned, thus 
communicating the essence of what they perceived to be their own position's 
drawbacks and advantages. Attending to the coherence of slave conspiracy 
discourse advances our understanding of slave society by demonstrating the 
degree to which slavery, and its anxieties, were embedded within contexts 
usually considered unconnected to enslavement--including anti-Catholic ideology, 
inter-imperial rivalry, diasporic African social practices, English juridical 
culture, and an array of literary forms. And slaves, for their part, played a 
crucial role in voicing these fears of their masters.Links: http://RT4RF9QN2Y.search.serialssolutions.com/?ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&ctx_enc=info:ofi/enc:UTF-8&rfr_id=info:sid/ProQuest+Dissertations+%26+Theses+Full+Text&rft_val_fmt=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:dissertation&rft.genre=dissertations+%26+theses&rft.jtitle=&rft.atitle=&rft.au=Sharples%2C+Jason+T.&rft.aulast=Sharples&rft.aufirst=Jason&rft.date=2010-01-01&rft.volume=&rft.issue=&rft.spage=&rft.isbn=9781124231433&rft.btitle=&rft.title=The+flames+of+insurrection%3A+Fearing+slave+conspiracy+in+early+America+1670-1780&rft.issn=http://RT4RF9QN2Y.search.serialssolutions.com/?ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&ctx_enc=info:ofi/enc:UTF-8&rfr_id=info:sid/ProQuest+Dissertations+%26+Theses+Full+Text&rft_val_fmt=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:dissertation&rft.genre=dissertations+%26+theses&rft.jtitle=&rft.atitle=&rft.au=Sharples%2C+Jason+T.&rft.aulast=Sharples&rft.aufirst=Jason&rft.date=2010-01-01&rft.volume=&rft.issue=&rft.spage=&rft.isbn=9781124231433&rft.btitle=&rft.title=The+flames+of+insurrection%3A+Fearing+slave+conspiracy+in+early+America+1670-1780&rft.issn=Subject:

4 of 5The Fool's Paradox: Race, religion, and radicalism in the writings of 
Albion Winegar TourgeeAuthor: Lomas, Leslie SingerPublication info: University 
of Colorado at Boulder, ProQuest, UMI Dissertations Publishing, 2010. 
3419486.http://pitt.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.proquest.com/docview/755601805?accountid=14709Abstract: 
This dissertation is an intellectual biography of the American author, lawyer, 
and civil rights advocate Albion Winegar Tourgée, perhaps the most adamant and 
least-remembered white defender of African-American rights of the late 
nineteenth century. In addition to producing an enormous literary output on race 
relations and other political issues of his time, he served as counsel for the 
plaintiffs in the landmark Supreme Court case, Plessy v. Ferguson. This study 
examines Tourgée's public and private writings over the 25-year period of his 
writing career and focusses on analyzing contradictory elements in his ideas 
regarding racial equality. On the one hand, it looks at his absorption of 
pervasive, contemporaneous beliefs about race, social evolution, civilization, 
and progress, which are defined as conservative because of their qualities of 
ethnocentrism, hierarchy, and moral absolutism. It contrasts these to 
egalitarian components of his thought, including his demands for equal rights, 
his relativist analysis of American attitudes and social relations, and his 
criticisms of racial theory, Social Darwinism, and the acquiescence of political 
and religious institutions to discriminatory race relations. It also presents 
Tourgée as an early exponent of Social Christianity and shows how he formulated 
a Christian philosophy that enabled him to resolve those ideological 
contradictions and to delegitimize contemporary beliefs about race on ethical 
grounds. Previous work on Tourgée has not included an examination of these 
contradictory elements, nor brought out the centrality of his Social Christian 
ideas.Links: http://RT4RF9QN2Y.search.serialssolutions.com/?ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&ctx_enc=info:ofi/enc:UTF-8&rfr_id=info:sid/ProQuest+Dissertations+%26+Theses+Full+Text&rft_val_fmt=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:dissertation&rft.genre=dissertations+%26+theses&rft.jtitle=&rft.atitle=&rft.au=Lomas%2C+Leslie+Singer&rft.aulast=Lomas&rft.aufirst=Leslie&rft.date=2010-01-01&rft.volume=&rft.issue=&rft.spage=&rft.isbn=9781124194431&rft.btitle=&rft.title=The+Fool%27s+Paradox%3A+Race%2C+religion%2C+and+radicalism+in+the+writings+of+Albion+Winegar+Tourgee&rft.issn=http://RT4RF9QN2Y.search.serialssolutions.com/?ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&ctx_enc=info:ofi/enc:UTF-8&rfr_id=info:sid/ProQuest+Dissertations+%26+Theses+Full+Text&rft_val_fmt=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:dissertation&rft.genre=dissertations+%26+theses&rft.jtitle=&rft.atitle=&rft.au=Lomas%2C+Leslie+Singer&rft.aulast=Lomas&rft.aufirst=Leslie&rft.date=2010-01-01&rft.volume=&rft.issue=&rft.spage=&rft.isbn=9781124194431&rft.btitle=&rft.title=The+Fool%27s+Paradox%3A+Race%2C+religion%2C+and+radicalism+in+the+writings+of+Albion+Winegar+Tourgee&rft.issn=Subject:

5 of 5All reform depends upon you: Femininity, authority, and the politics of 
authorship in women's antislavery fiction, 1821--1861Author: Kent, Holly 
M.Publication info: Lehigh University, ProQuest, UMI Dissertations Publishing, 
2010. 3419368.http://pitt.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.proquest.com/docview/756246352?accountid=14709Abstract: 
In this dissertation, I argue that fiction provided white antislavery and 
proslavery women writers with a significant public space in which to articulate 
their ideas about the need to destroy (or uphold) the institution of slavery. 1 
Living in a culture that often discouraged white, middle-class women from 
extensive public commentary on "political" subjects and virtually excluded women 
from public platforms, these activists turned to fiction as an appropriately 
"feminine" means of offering sustained reflections about slavery and abolition. 
This dissertation also argues that white antislavery and proslavery women 
writers' fiction offered a problematic but nonetheless significant challenge to 
the racial and gendered order of the antebellum era. Representing their enslaved 
female characters as virtuous citizens and faithful anti- and proslavery 
advocates, these writers questioned a social order that unrelentingly 
subordinated such women to (morally inferior) white men. Finally, in this 
project I maintain that proslavery and antislavery women writers articulated and 
developed a unique form of difference feminism in their fiction. In their 
stories and novels, these authors insisted that morally clear-sighted women's 
(and not morally unsound men's) ideals needed to shape public policies and 
political decisions about slavery. Getting their male family members and friends 
to think rightly on the slave question effectively would ensure that these men 
would fight for its continuation, without women themselves having to become 
involved in the actual business of politics. 1 Throughout this dissertation, the 
terms "antislavery" and "abolitionist" are used interchangeably. Each historian 
working on abolitionism and the antislavery movement uses these terms 
differently, with some (as I have chosen to do here) using them synonymously, 
and others using the terms to make arguments about different groups within the 
fight to end slavery. In his 2003 monograph Free Hearts and Free Homes: Gender 
and Antislavery Politics, for example, Michael Pierson uses "antislavery" to 
describe more socially conservative, politically oriented members of the 
movement and "abolitionist" to indicate more radical individuals. That 
distinction is not one that I am drawing upon here. See Michael Pierson, Free 
Hearts and Free Homes: Gender and American Antislavery Politics (Chapel Hill: 
University of North Carolina Press, 2003).Links: http://RT4RF9QN2Y.search.serialssolutions.com/?ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&ctx_enc=info:ofi/enc:UTF-8&rfr_id=info:sid/ProQuest+Dissertations+%26+Theses+Full+Text&rft_val_fmt=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:dissertation&rft.genre=dissertations+%26+theses&rft.jtitle=&rft.atitle=&rft.au=Kent%2C+Holly+M.&rft.aulast=Kent&rft.aufirst=Holly&rft.date=2010-01-01&rft.volume=&rft.issue=&rft.spage=&rft.isbn=9781124192581&rft.btitle=&rft.title=All+reform+depends+upon+you%3A+Femininity%2C+authority%2C+and+the+politics+of+authorship+in+women%27s+antislavery+fiction%2C+1821--1861&rft.issn=http://RT4RF9QN2Y.search.serialssolutions.com/?ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&ctx_enc=info:ofi/enc:UTF-8&rfr_id=info:sid/ProQuest+Dissertations+%26+Theses+Full+Text&rft_val_fmt=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:dissertation&rft.genre=dissertations+%26+theses&rft.jtitle=&rft.atitle=&rft.au=Kent%2C+Holly+M.&rft.aulast=Kent&rft.aufirst=Holly&rft.date=2010-01-01&rft.volume=&rft.issue=&rft.spage=&rft.isbn=9781124192581&rft.btitle=&rft.title=All+reform+depends+upon+you%3A+Femininity%2C+authority%2C+and+the+politics+of+authorship+in+women%27s+antislavery+fiction%2C+1821--1861&rft.issn=Subject:
