“…While the covert art of periodicals such as the Liberator had provided space to critique representations of black female beauty and colourism within the black community, for many Black Power activists, the celebration of figures such as Malcolm X and Marcus Garvey became an important part of establishing a 'legitimate patrilineal lineage' for black radical activism and black masculine identities. 48 Despite the undoubted centrality of black women to the formation of Black Power's ideological frameworks and central principles, the role of black women on both an individual and an institutional level was frequently marginalised within the movement. 49 In turn, the content and graphic design of magazines such as Umbra, Black America and Soulbook contributed to and helped to visually codify the male-centred bias which often characterised the attitudes of Black Arts and Black Power advocates.…”

This photographic essay focuses on the cover art of a wave of black radical periodicals which emerged in the United States during the 1960s to shed light on the intersections between Black Power, graphic design and black print culture. By examining the graphic design and artwork employed by ‘little black magazines’ such as Liberator, Soulbook and Black America, we can see the origins of a Black Power visual aesthetic which was most memorably rendered through the work of Emory Douglas and the Black Panther community newspaper during the late 1960s and early 1970s. In turn, I argue that such cover art can be understood as just one example of the visual intersections which emerged between black radical activism and black print culture in the United States during the years following World War II.

“…«Черная» маскулинность рассматривается как подчиненная модель мужественности относительно маскулинности городского белого мужчины среднего класса протестантского вероисповедания (Lemelle 2010). Исследования демонстрируют, что гегемония маскулинности белого мужчины среднего класса в США основана в первую очередь на противопоставлении и исключении мужчин афроамериканского происхождения, во вторую очередь, белых мужчин рабочего класса (Pochmara 2011). Следовательно, анализ маскулинности должен учитывать, как классовую, так и этническую / расовую системы стратификации общества.…”

Аннотация. В данной статье рассматривается то, как выстраиваются репрезентации сельской маскулинности в СМИ и Интернете в контексте иерархии маскулинностей, которая формируется на пересечении таких измерений социального неравенства как этничность и класс. Опираясь на зарубежные и отечественные исследования маскулинности, мы уже можем предположить, что структурные изменения аграрного сектора в России привели к падению престижа сельской занятости, а, следовательно, и к маргинализации сельского образца мужественности. Этничность также влияет на положение мужественности в сложившейся иерархии. Данная проблема исследуется на примере репрезентации сельской мужественности в СМИ республики Бурятии.

“…Anna Pochmara (2011) contends that Locke's construction of masculinity relied on a Greek model of homosexuality in which Locke deployed Whitmanesque concepts of manhood and camaraderie to signal same-sex desire and eroticism in his writings. Thus, Locke's brand of masculinity is sometimes referred to a queer middle-class identity, in that, Locke remains committed to black middle-class respectability by deploying samesex desire and sexuality covertly without disrupting social perception (Pochmara, 2011).…”

Byrd, and Anne Caldwell. My committee not only challenged me over the past four years, but has been supportive, generous, and kind, making space for me to be the scholar I saw myself to be. Dr. Story, as chair and advisor, exemplified the best of this committee and I could not have asked for a better mentor and friend. I am forever grateful for the Department of Pan-African Studies-the faculty, staff and students-who have provided community and support, especially my incoming cohort family, Saleema and JC as well as Drs. Theresa Rajack-Talley and Joy Carew who were instrumental in shaping our transition and first-year in the program. My "push" into doctoral studies started long before I entered UofL. So many people inspired and encouraged me along the way. Thanks to all my Florida State University (FSU) friends and family who "aided and abetted" in the push to get me here, especially all the folks at the Center for Leadership and Social Change. My initial scholarship interest was shaped by the first doctoral studies courses I took at FSU with Drs. Tamara Bertrand Jones and Deana Rohlinger after much encouragement from Dr. Estee Hernandez. Furthermore, this study was partially inspired by some of my previous work with Dr. Shawna Patterson-Stephens at FSU. I have also been very fortunate to have met scholars I deeply admire, including Professors E. Patrick Johnson, Marlon v Bailey, and Jeffrey McCune. Though the encounters were brief, they all offered great advice and encouragement. Also, special thanks to Zeta Alpha Delta Fraternity. Moreover, I could not have done this without all my friends and family, near and far, who supported me throughout this endeavor. Far too many for me to recognize them all. Nevertheless, I am grateful for the spoken/unspoken, named/unnamed prayers, texts/DMs, calls, and Ms. Cynthia from the airport. My parents-Lee, Gary, Anthony and Karen-for always believing in me. Tony and Xaivian for keeping me grounded and connected. Shout out to my Louisville roommates, Jarrod and Jakia, for making Louisville home, Sunergos Coffee for providing my go-to writing space and fuel, and UofL Multicultural Graduate Students Association, along with Dr. Craig and Ms. Yvette, for being a haven within the graduate struggle. Last but definitely not least, I am grateful for all the black queer folks I've been blessed to be in community with-it's our labor and love that keeps me going. This is especially true of all the participants and subjects of this study.
