“…In response to cultural arguments generated in the first wave, scholars also spent ample time producing scholarship to correct the myth of the dysfunctional Black family by elucidating not only how structural inequality has shaped the structure of Black families but how Black families have survived in spite of institutionalized oppression (Billingsley, 1968;Gutman, 1976;Hill, 1999;McAdoo, 1981;Staples, 1971;Willie & Reddick, 2010). For example, in one of the most important second wave edited texts, Black Families, McAdoo (1981) explained the following:…”

Intersectional blackness matters: Why family science should care about the College Board's A.P. African American Studies course controversy

This article examines how the recent controversy about the College Board's A.P. African American Studies course has implications for studies on Black families. In relegating Black feminism and Black queer theory as optional research topics in the course, the College Board failed to recognize the importance of theorizing intersectional blackness in research in Black Studies in general and research on Black families in particular. The College Board failed to recognize how race, gender, sexuality, and other social forces converge to provide a richer picture of Black lives. In utilizing a theoretical lens of intersectional blackness as a foundation, I use both the Florida Board of Education's position regarding the “merits” of the A.P. course and the College Board's decision to fringe certain topics as examples of how both Black families and Black Studies are maligned by framing both as inferior and lacking.

“…Historically, blues writing has stood out for its detailed accuracy, collective and exhaustive genre appreciation and a combination of musical commentary with interest in the life stories of blues people. These three points describe a general, widespread approach shared by "professional" and "amateur" blues enthusiasts, which may be rooted directly or indirectly in the inspiration drawn from legendary figures like Alan Lomax (1993) and Paul Oliver (1960), influential blues magazines (such as Blues Unlimited and Living Blues) and music literature where biographies, histories and attention to certain territories prevail (Herzhaft 2003;Keil 1991;Palmer 1982).…”

Alternative Journalism in Madrid’s Blues Scene

This article discusses how the blues music scene in Madrid (Spain) produces its own media and communication networks, based on the genre’s traditional and current development, in contrast to the lack of attention from mainstream media. Focusing on three key alternative blues-journalists whose activities relate to different periods, I trace the evolution of their practices in relationship to the scene. Overall, they have shifted from a more individual, discursive construction of the genre and the scene to the collective development of associative endeavours like the “Madrid Blues Society”. I argue that in the contemporary context, where conventional media fail to provide a music press apparatus to the scene, the contributions of alternative blues-journalists, who vocationally commit to blues dissemination for long periods, provide a community sharing practice for scene participants, contributing to the scene’s reproduction and gradually developing a higher self-consciousness that adapts to its dynamics.

“…For example, I came across a cover version of "A Change is Gonna Come," by Al Green. After listening to "Crossroads Road Blues" by Robert Johnson, I found a comment online that suggested I read the book Deep Blues by Robert Palmer (1981), which is a history of blues music. Let the Music Play!…”
