SUMMARY:Listening for ‘Undesirables’ and Other Archival Voices
DESCRIPTION:A workshop with Dr. Jennifer Boittin\, Professor of Global History\, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. \nJennifer Boittin is the Frank Porter Graham Distinguished Professor of Global History at UNC. She received her PhD in History from Yale University and was previously a professor at Penn State University. Her research and teaching look at how colonial spaces in West Africa\, Southeast Asia\, North Africa\, and the French Caribbean were shaped by intersections between class\, politics\, and urban culture around the world wars and decolonization. Completed in part thanks to a Paris Institute for Advanced Studies fellowship\, her second book is entitled Undesirable: Passionate Mobility and Women’s Defiance of French Colonial Policing\, 1919-1952 (2022\, University of Chicago Press). Undesirable tells the virtually unknown history of hundreds of women in Southeast Asia (French Indochina) and West Africa (AOF) tracked by authorities because they were traveling alone and claiming Frenchness. Drawn from Cambodian\, French\, and Senegalese archives\, Undesirable’s focus on how ordinary people react to being policed gives historical depth to pressing contemporary issues of migration and violence in France today and of similar reckonings on a global scale.

SUMMARY:Struggle for the City: Rhetorics of Citizenship and Resistance in the Black Freedom Movement
DESCRIPTION:The UW System Faculty Lecture Series and The Center for 21st Century Studies at UWM present Derek Handley. Register for this online event to receive the link. A clickable link is below in the website section or copy and paste: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/uw-system-faculty-lecture-series-derek-handley-tickets-1043213679197 \nThe urban renewal policies of the 1950s and 1960s destroyed the economic centers of many Black neighborhoods in the United States. Struggle for the City recovers the agency and solidarity of African American residents confronting this diagnosis of “blight.”  This presentation discusses how African American residents in the Hill District of Pittsburgh\, the Bronzeville neighborhood of Milwaukee\, and the Rondo neighborhood of St. Paul enacted Black Rhetorical Citizenship to fight for their communities. By centering the residents in their own narratives of displacement\, this presentation demonstrates how local organizers\, leaders\, and residents used rhetorics of placemaking\, community organizing\, and critical memory to resist the bulldozing visions of urban renewal.  \nDerek G. Handley is an assistant professor in the English Department\, affiliated faculty in African and African Diaspora Studies department\, and affiliated faculty in the Urban Studies Program at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.  He is co-director of the Mapping Racism and Resistance in Milwaukee County (MRR-MKE) project\, which comprehensively maps racial covenants and uncovers Black resistance to such discrimination.  \nThe UW System Lecture Series is co-hosted by C21 and UW-Madison’s Center for the Humanities and highlights faculty research across the Universities of Wisconsin.
