SUMMARY:Anna Rudolph\, "Queen Radegund and the Monarchy in Medieval Europe"
DESCRIPTION:Come hear Anna Rudolph‘s presentation on Queen Radegund (520AD – 587AD) – a royal sainted lady of Thuringia. Radegund was a princess and a war captive who became the unwilling queen of the Frankish Kingdom and one of the most beloved Saints of France. Radegund\, an extreme ascetic\, was widely believed to have the gift of healing. Venerated for centuries\, she has given us insights into the changing conventions of elite and royal women’s spirituality. Radegund is the patron saint of many churches in France and England\, with one priory dedicated to her memory\nbeing converted into the world-renowned Jesus College\, near Cambridge. \n\nJoin us for an afternoon of miracles\, warfare and intrigue as we illuminate the life of one of history’s most remarkable women. \nOriginal Medieval manuscripts will be on display. \nClick here to download the flyer for this event.

SUMMARY:The Initiative for the Study of Race\, Religion\, and Revolution's Winter 2021 Schedule
DESCRIPTION:Professor Butch Ware and the ISRRAR announce the Winter Quarter schedule for HIST 210RA: Race\, Faith\, Revolution. Graduate students are invited to register for this 2-unit seminar and to sign up for the listserv at http://tinyurl.com/ISRRARListServ. \nHow have Black metaphysics articulated with racial politics in order to advance efforts of justice\, liberation\, and self-actualization? In this very special year of 2021\, our seminar will take on manifestations of anti-black racism and imperialism\, as well as African and African Diasporic efforts to mediate between the seen and unseen worlds in struggles for justice. \nThis graduate seminar is part of a broader collaborative process meant to engage graduate students and faculty alike. The Initiative for the Study of Race\, Religion\, and Revolution (ISRRAR) seeks to foster a conversation on intersections of spirituality and social change wherein works on (and by) formerly colonized peoples are central\, rather than peripheral. \nThis approach is driven by an axial critique of the ways in which modernity’s core contradictions shape our shared pasts and presents. An era of revolutionary enlightenment\, we are told\, brought humanity out of the ‘dark ages.’ Freedom dawned. But this ‘age of lights’ brought the darkest of racial taxonomies\, and scales of slavery and human suffering unknown to ancient and medieval worlds. Reason proclaimed its mission: liberate humanity from the bondage of irrational religion. Yet rational political economies brought global empires\, world wars\, and ethnic genocides. Moreover\, new nationalisms have drawn on older religious repertories to define citizens and subject them to moral authority. Self-congratulatory Western tropes\, however\, tend to overlook the ubiquity of race and the persistence of faith\, portraying them as incidental rather than fundamental. \nColonized peoples in Africa and the Americas\, tell different tales. A generation of emergent scholarship has brought these forward. Scholars (many trained in interdisciplinary fields) have recovered ‘native’ narratives and ontologies of the oppressed\, often dislodging dominant meta-narratives in the study of the global West. In History 210 we engage live presentations of the works of scholars\, activists\, and artists whose conceptualization and execution of their research breaks new ground in these domains.

SUMMARY:ISRRAR Event--Dr. LaKisha Simmons\, "The Ancestors and the Womb are One: Black Motherhood and Histories of Black Infant Loss"
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the twentieth century\, Black women in the United States experienced at least double the rates of infant mortality experienced by white women. Through an analysis of oral histories collected in the US South in the 1930s\, Dr. LaKisha Simmons (University of Michigan) details what Patricia Hill Collins terms a “Black women’s standpoint on mothering.” From interviewees’ discussions of infant and child loss emerge twin concepts of generation and Black relationality\, which enable a theory of Black motherhood as connected to survival and remembrance. The concept of generation reveals how Black women in the 1930s defined themselves as mothering their children after Emancipation and yet as inheriting the ever-present enslaved past through their own mothers and grandmothers. Black women articulated a sense of self and well-being that was in conversation with the ancestors and unborn. \nJoin this Zoom event here: https://bit.ly/3hVdvP4. \n\nThis event is part of the ISRRAR Winter Quarter series. \nProfessor Butch Ware and the ISRRAR announce the Winter Quarter schedule for HIST 210RA: Race\, Faith\, Revolution.

SUMMARY:ISRRAR Event--Dr. Jason Young\, "Look for Me in the Whirlwind: Toward an Ecology of Afro-Futurism"
DESCRIPTION:Speaking before a rapt audience\, famed black nationalist leader\, Marcus Garvey\, vowed to support the cause of African liberation not only in life\, but also in death\, insisting that he would return as an “earthquake\, or a cyclone\, or plague\, or pestilence” to aid in the fight for freedom. He implored his followers: “Look for me in the whirlwind.” Using Garvey’s promise as a starting point\, Dr. Jason Young (University of Michigan) reconsiders the history of slavery with an eye trained on the transformative role that torrential rains\, gale force winds and raging fires played in both opening and closing paths to freedom and resistance. And in view of the current climate crisis\, COVID-19\, and yet another national reckoning on racial injustice\, Young imagines the role that rising sea levels\, receding coastlines\, and global fugitivity might play in the Afro-futures to come. \nJoin this Zoom event here: bit.ly/3hVdvP4  \n\nThis event is part of the ISRRAR Winter Quarter series. \nProfessor Butch Ware and the ISRRAR announce the Winter Quarter schedule for HIST 210RA: Race\, Faith\, Revolution.

SUMMARY:ISRRAR Event–Dr. Rasul Miller\, "Black Internationalism and Black Sunni Muslims in America"
DESCRIPTION:During the interwar period\, the historic neighborhood of Harlem was home to a thriving Black political scene that included Garveyites\, Communists\, labor organizers\, anticolonial activists\, and politicized adherents of various new Black religious congregations. Shaykh Daoud Faisal and Mother Khadijah Faisal\, the architects of New York City’s first lasting Black Sunni Muslim community worked as artists\, organizers\, and propagators of Islam for over a decade in 1920s and 1930s Harlem\, and were deeply impacted by its Black internationalist political and cultural character. Upon moving to Brooklyn Heights in 1930 they built one of the twentieth century’s most influential Muslim religious communities in the US. In this talk\, Dr. Rasul Miller (History\, UC Irvine) explores the impact of Black internationalism on this formative Black Sunni religious institution\, and the broader Black Sunni religious and cultural orientations it helped to foster. \nJoin this Zoom event here: https://bit.ly/3hVdvP4  \n\nThis event is part of the ISRRAR Winter Quarter series. \nProfessor Butch Ware and the ISRRAR announce the Winter Quarter schedule for HIST 210RA: Race\, Faith\, Revolution.

SUMMARY:AfroLatinx Voices Series: Re-Writing Black Religions in the Atlantic World--A Conversation with Andrea Mosquera-Guerrero
DESCRIPTION:How might we re-write the history and historiography of religion\, race\, and art in Latin America\, the Caribbean and the Atlantic world? Prof. Andrea Guerrero-Mosquera (Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana-Xochimilco) will discuss the role of historians in uncovering and debating ideas about the past of people of African descent during the colonial period. She invites us to consider the ways art\, material culture and performance can help us understand how people lived and experienced different forms of religiosity in the past\, and how these practices helped develop different forms of Catholicism and cultural changes across the Atlantic world. She will also share her experience with the Red Iberoamericana de Historiadoras (Ibero-American Network of Historians)\, a digital humanities initiative that seeks to promote dialogues and connect historians across the globe. \nDr. Andrea Mosquera-Guerrero is a researcher at the Sistema Nacional de Investigadores (National System of Researchers\, Mexico) and co-founder of the Iberoamerican Network of Female Historians. She specializes in Afro-Latin American cultures in the Atlantic world during the colonial period\, focusing on issues related to race and art. \nModerator: Andreína Soto is a Ph.D. candidate in History at UC Santa Barbara who specializes in African diaspora\, legal and religious history\, and digital humanities methods. \nZoom event: REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED.

SUMMARY:ISRRAR Event–Dr. Samiha Rahman\, "Redefining Black Excellence: Ihsan\, Islamic Education\, and the Tijani Sufi Order"
DESCRIPTION:Since the 1980s\, hundreds of predominantly working-class African American Muslim youth have migrated to the West African Tijani Sufi town of Medina Baye\, Senegal. They hope to circumvent the antiblackness\, Islamophobia\, and economic inequality they face in the U.S. in search of a transformative educational encounter in a society where Blackness and Islam constitute the dominant norms. This talk chronicles these young people’s everyday experiences pursuing Islamic education in Medina Baye. Complicating popular notions that link Black excellence to individualistic material gain and Black capitalism\, Dr. Samiha Rahman (CSU Long Beach) argues that Black Muslim excellence (ihsan) provides an alternative paradigm rooted in the pursuit of human excellence through spiritual and social practice. Grounded in a transatlantic Black Muslim tradition\, Black Muslim ihsan offers African American Muslims pathways to individual and collective liberation. \nJoin this Zoom event here: bit.ly/3hVdvP4  \n\nThis event is part of the ISRRAR Winter Quarter series. \nProfessor Butch Ware and the ISRRAR announce the Winter Quarter schedule for HIST 210RA: Race\, Faith\, Revolution.

The Initiative for the Study of Race\, Religion\, and Revolution (ISRRAR) seeks to foster a conversation on intersections of spirituality and social change wherein works on (and by) formerly colonized peoples are central\, rather than peripheral. \nThis approach is driven by an axial critique of the ways in which modernity’s core contradictions shape our shared pasts and presents. An era of revolutionary enlightenment\, we are told\, brought humanity out of the ‘dark ages.’ Freedom dawned. But this ‘age of lights’ brought the darkest of racial taxonomies\, and scales of slavery and human suffering unknown to ancient and medieval worlds. Reason proclaimed its mission: liberate humanity from the bondage of irrational religion. Yet rational political economies brought global empires\, world wars\, and ethnic genocides. Moreover\, new nationalisms have drawn on older religious repertories to define citizens and subject them to moral authority. Self-congratulatory Western tropes\, however\, tend to overlook the ubiquity of race and the persistence of faith\, portraying them as incidental rather than fundamental. \nColonized peoples in Africa and the Americas\, tell different tales. A generation of emergent scholarship has brought these forward. Scholars (many trained in interdisciplinary fields) have recovered ‘native’ narratives and ontologies of the oppressed\, often dislodging dominant meta-narratives in the study of the global West. In History 210 we engage live presentations of the works of scholars\, activists\, and artists whose conceptualization and execution of their research breaks new ground in these domains.

SUMMARY:ISRRAR Event--Dr. Maytha Alhassen\, "The Ummic Imperative: A Decolonial Approach to Malcolm X's Islam"
DESCRIPTION:Through an assemblage of multiple archives\, Dr. Maytha Alhassen tracks the Malcolm X’s political and spiritual project the last year of his life as he travels across decolonizing geographies. Alhassen contends that undergirding Malcolm X’s Black liberation framework is a praxical commitment to an “ummic imperative.” Engaging Malcolm’s spiritual political philosophies will also serve to interrogate and complicate Third World movement politics. \nJoin this Zoom event at tinyurl.com/isrrarTalk \nThis event is part of the ISRRAR Spring Quarter series.

SUMMARY:ISRRAR Event–Dr. Sylvester Ogbechie\, “Godbearer: Yoruba Orisa\, Black Atlantic Modernisms and Afrofuturist Imaginaries”
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Sylvester Ogbechie‘s work evaluates the resurgence of African gods in Black Atlantic modernisms\, contemporary media and Afrofuturist visualities. African deities are everywhere in contemporary culture from the Akan trickster god Anansi and numerous Yoruba Orisa in the American Gods TV series\, through images of the Kh’Met (Egyptian) goddess Bast in the Afrofuturist blockbuster movie Black Panther\, to the cyberspace narratives of William Gibson’s Sprawl trilogy that centered the Loa (gods) of the Haitian Vodun pantheon as primary characters. This resurgence corresponds to a return of discourses of spirituality in narratives of modernity and contemporary art practice. What is the meaning of this contemporary focus on African deities and how does it allow us to engage anew or reinterpret Black Atlantic arts that foreground African spiritual and cultural registers? \nJoin this Zoom event at tinyurl.com/isrrarTalk \nThis event is part of the ISRRAR Spring Quarter series.

SUMMARY:Nicole Archambeau\, "War\, Plague & Confession: Stories of Survival from Fourteenth-Century Provence"
DESCRIPTION:The History Department is proud to welcome back alumna Dr. Nicole Archambeau (History\, Colorado State University) for a virtual talk based on her new book Souls under Siege: Stories of War\, Plague\, and Confession in Fourteenth-Century Provence. You can read a glowing review of Souls under Siege in the Los Angeles Review of Books. \nDr. Archambeau’s book and talk draw on a rich evidentiary base of 68 narrative testimonials from the canonization inquest for Countess Delphine de Puimichel\, which was held in the market town of Apt in 1363. Each witness in the inquest had lived through outbreaks of plague in 1348 and 1361\, as well as violence inflicted by mercenaries unemployed during truces in the Hundred Years’ War. Faced with an unprecedented cascade of crises\, the inhabitants of Provence relied on saints and healers\, their worldview connecting earthly disease and disaster to the struggle for their eternal souls. Their testimonies unexpectedly reveal the importance of faith and the role of affect in the healing of both body and soul. \nAdvance registration is required for this event. You can sign up here. \nClick here to download the flyer for Dr. Archambeau’s talk.

Canon Perdido Street\, located in El Presidio de Santa Bárbara State Historic Park \nFree and open to the public. RSVP to historyassociates@ia.ucsb.edu \nHow does colonialism work without a strong colonial state? How does religious conversion work without an effective missionary project? How can historians work with an archive full of fictions? Taking the history of the Muisca peoples of the Northern Andes of what is now Colombia\, who from the 1530s found themselves at the centre of efforts by Europeans to transform them into Catholic\, tribute-paying vassals of the Spanish crown\, this talk explores the complex and contradictory ways in which Christianity\, Spanish colonialism\, and Indigenous politics came together to produce a new kind of society to the disappointment of everyone involved. \nJuan Cobo Betancourt is Associate Professor of History and Director\nof the Latin American and Iberian Studies Program and\nCenter for Latin American and Iberian Research at UC Santa\nBarbara. He has written three books on questions of religion\,\nrace\, law\, and language in colonial Latin America.
