“…Other factors swim against these currents, such as pro‐black joy, solidarity, and creativity. On the one hand, there are reactive responses to these anti‐black consumer trends, including “buy black” campaigns and “buycotts” that boycott businesses that take black money without respecting black consumers (Brown, 2015). On the other hand, consumers, entrepreneurs, and social movement actors engage in creative projects that center the experiences, practices, arts, and rituals of BIPOC communities in revived or in new consumer markets (Banks, 2009, 2019).…”

“…The search also turned up an analysis of the politics and rhetoric of the 2008 State of the Black Union conference (Ralph 2009). Even for recent publications, the keyword search turned up more studies of the Civil Rights and even pre-Civil Rights eras (e.g., Baxandall 2001, Bell 2004, Berg 2005, Berger 2009, Bergin 2016, Brame and Shriver 2013, Breitzer 2011, Brown 2015, Williams 2004 and studies of the post-2012 Black Lives Matter mobilizations (e.g., Asoka 2015, Bell et al 2013, Bonilla and Rosa 2015, Brooms and Perry 2016, De Choudhury et al 2016.…”

This paper fills a major empirical gap in providing the first systematic data about US Black movement protests between the 1994 and 2010. There is a dearth of systematic information about the Black movement and Black protests between 1995 and its reemergence in Black Lives Matter in 2012. Using a new automated system, we identified 1017 events in 1049 news wire stories relevant to Black protest between 1994 and 2010 from the Annotated English Gigaword file. These data provide insight into Black activism in the between 1994 and 2010 and identify themes that are salient for both the resurgence of the Black Lives Movement after 2012 and the rise of White supremacist movements. Over a third of all protest events are about policing, generally about police violence. Other major themes include direct struggles over White vs. Black symbolic representations and access to resources, including protests over Confederate symbols, abolition of affirmative action programs, and White supremacists. The 1995 Million Man March shows up as having a significant connection to subsequent mobilization, a relationship that is confirmed by historical accounts. A third of the protests are around a wide variety of other specific issues that will require more detailed classification. Time trends show active and rising Black mobilization in the 1990s through 2001 that was interrupted by the 9/11 terror attacks and not significantly resumed until 2006-7. Overall, most protests in this era appear to have been reacting against attacks on existing benefits rather than proactively seeking new benefits. Methodologically, we show the importance of maintaining information about both events and coverage of events and of identifying the relations between events using the concepts of campaign, master event, and subevent. NOTE: This is a draft paper based on a preliminary analysis of data. We are continuing to refine the analysis and revise the paper. Please check with us for the latest version if you wish to cite the paper. This is a wholesale revision of a 2017 paper based on what turned out to be only a subset of the events in the newswire stories, due to an error in the selection of stories fed into the MPEDS classifier.

“…Political consumption is "… the act of selecting among products and producers based on social, political, or ethical considerations…" (Shah et al 2007, p. 219). However, there is also a form of political consumption that is specifically linked to race-racialized political consumerism (Brown 2015). Racialized political consumerism concerns consumption directed at influencing the allocation of resources to a racial group.…”
