SUMMARY:Ronny Regev\, "'We Want No More Economic Islands': The Mobilization of the Black Consumer Market in the Postwar US"
DESCRIPTION:On February 14 Ronny Regev (History\, Hebrew University of Jerusalem) presents\, “‘We Want No More Economic Islands’: The Mobilization of the Black Consumer Market in the Postwar US.” \nWWII ushered in an era of economic growth in the United States\, which enshrined consumption as an integral part of liberal citizenship. African Americans were often excluded from the benefits of this “affluent society\,” due to the prevalence of segregation and discrimination in the name of white supremacy. Still\, throughout the 1940s and 1950s\, a network of black intellectuals and business leaders promoted their own vision of economic abundance. By emphasizing the power of the “black market\,” the Afro-American economic elite advocated for a black consumer society\, in which black shoppers used their buying power to promote racial uplift. Following the full contours of the African American consumer discourse reveals that the preoccupation with the black shopper turned this mundane identity into a political category and marked the commercial realm as a viable arena in the struggle for civil rights. \nDr. Regev is the author of Working in Hollywood: How the Studio System Turned Creativity into Modern Labor (2018)\, and is a scholar of modern popular culture and its intersection with mass media industries and US labor relations. \nStudents in any discipline may receive credit in History 294 for participating in this workshop. \nClick here to download the flyer for this event.

SUMMARY:John Majewski\, Living Democracy in Capitalism's Shadow: Creative Labor\, Black Abolitionists\, and the Struggle to End Slavery
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW \n\nFree to attend; registration required to receive Zoom webinar attendance link \nIn the two decades before the Civil War\, a new type of capitalism developed in the northern United States that stressed mass education\, widespread innovation\, and new markets for art and design. For Black abolitionists\, the changing northern economy presented new opportunities to highlight the evils of slavery. While continuing to attack slavery’s physical cruelty\, Black abolitionists in the 1840s and 1850s increasingly highlighted the “mental darkness” of slavery\, focusing on the systematic denial of literacy\, learning\, and creativity. Through their own creative labor\, Black abolitionists made a compelling case for racial equality. The fate of Black creative labor after the Civil War\, though\, demonstrated the limits of using creativity as a way of obtaining citizenship\, and raises important questions about how we in the 21st century “live democracy” in a society that valorizes creativity amidst growing inequality and systemic racism. Audience Q&A will follow. \nJohn Majewski is the Michael Douglas Dean of Humanities and Fine Arts and Professor in the Department of History. His areas of specialization include American economic\, social\, and legal history; Southern history; and the U.S. Civil War. He is the author of A House Dividing: Economic Development in Pennsylvania and Virginia Before the Civil War (Cambridge University Press\, 2000)\, Modernizing a Slave Economy: The Economic Imagination of the Confederate Nation (UNC Press\, 2009)\, and numerous articles\, reviews\, and book chapters. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Living Democracy series \nREGISTER NOW. ASL and Spanish interpretation will be available. To view ASL interpretation\, please attend the webinar on a desktop computer.
