“…These are inspired in part by the global movement, and often through the use of te reo Māori and te ao Māori, are being actively reinterpreted in the specific context of Aotearoa.Black Power movements globally are seen to have catalytic effects on each other, with movements arising in different countries and that have the global symbolism then paralleled in local contexts, such as in Aotearoa Dixon and Davis (2014). highlight that Black freedom struggles in North America and anti-colonial struggles in other countries brought racism and colonialism to the global stage, setting in motion the uprising of movements around the world, with the Black Power movement evidently influential in its ability as a movement to inspire globalisation in the fight against racial injustice(Frankel, 2012).This chapter locatesBlack Power in Aotearoa amongst the global traditions of the wider movement. It outlines the ways in which global symbols of Black Powerthe meaning of the term 'Black Power', for example, and the symbol of the upraised fist, have all influenced Black Power in Aotearoa and its localised manifestations.…”

<p>The war on gangs in Aotearoa New Zealand seems to be a never-ending battle. Sensationalist rhetoric in the media and anti-gang political discourse fosters a range of negative stereotypes about gangs and those within them, presenting them as fundamentally criminal organisations. This thesis challenges the dominant narrative on gangs by instead exploring their evolving social movement potential. Drawing on participatory action research and collaborative partnerships established within the Black Power rōpū – one of the most well-known ‘gangs’ in the country – it shows members taking up important roles as agents of social change. The research found members reinterpreting in a localised context the anti-racist symbolism of the global Black Power movement, along with adopting practices and techniques more commonly associated with social movements. Through the kōrero of members themselves, this research shows how the rōpū are actively redefining the very meaning of the terms ‘gang’ and ‘gangster’. The research not only challenges prevailing public stereotypes within Aotearoa New Zealand, but contributes to the wider field of gang research by developing a collaborative methodology that works with not on the community that is ‘the gang’ and by demonstrating the roles these collectives play in grassroots projects of social transformation.</p>

The project of the French Alliance Israélite Universelle (AIU) in Morocco in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries—to win social and political equality for Jews through European enlightenment—was intertwined with the French imperial project. Moroccan Jewish women were assigned, as mothers and wives, a special role in the AIU’s efforts: to help Jewish boys and men pursue commercial or professional careers in French-dominated society. The AIU schools set out to win Moroccan Jews away from despised Muslim gender and sexual norms by Europeanizing Jews’ marriage patterns and family forms, combating prostitution, eliminating women’s traditional head coverings, and reining in what the AIU saw as men’s promiscuity and homosexual tendencies. Ultimately, the AIU helped further estrange Moroccan Jews from Muslims but failed to secure Moroccan Jews’ smooth integration into French secular culture. Moroccan Jews in Israel today, faced with persistent discrimination, largely cling to religiously based, conservative gender norms.

Black Panther Party (1966-1982, fondé par Huey P. Newton et Bobby Seale, deux anciens étudiants du collège universitaire d'Oakland, est une organisation qui marqua durablement le paysage de l'activisme africain-américain. C'est sans doute en raison de la scénographie qu'elle choisit, marquée par une image martiale (tenues paramilitaires, port ostensible d'armes à feu) et un mode d'action légaliste 1 (patrouilles armées circulant dans les rues des quartiers noirs en vertu du deuxième amendement de la Constitution des États-Unis, rappels à la loi des officiers de police) que cette organisation eut très rapidement les faveurs des caméras. La mise en place des manifestations anti-guerre visant à lutter contre la conscription des Africains-Américains et autres minorités, tout comme un soutien aux jeunes gens essayant d'échapper à celle-ci, lui valurent la sympathie de mouvements étudiants. Elle oeuvra également au service de la communauté par l'éducation populaire dans divers domaines, l'accompagnement des familles de détenus, la lutte contre l'alcoolisme, la toxicomanie et la drépanocytose (maladie touchant spécifiquement les populations noires). Mais son opération la plus connue demeure le Free Breakfast for Children Program organisé dans la baie de San Francisco. En effet, le groupe chargé de ce programme, qui reprenait les pratiques d'auto-organisation des populations noires, visait également l'introduction du socialisme dans les ghettos par des actions concrètes.Ainsi, son manifeste en dix points, le Platform and Program, s'il fut inspiré de celui de la Nation of Islam, n'adopta pas pour autant le séparatisme de cette dernière, position que l'on peut autant imputer à un marxisme aux soubassements internationalistes (internationalisme également irrigué par la 1. Les modes d'action du Black Panther Party sont empruntés au Deacons for Defense and Justice, groupe d'autodéfense fondé par des vétérans de Jonesboro (Louisiane) en 1964. S'ils ne furent pas les premiers à utiliser les armes, ils furent les premiers à le faire de manière organisée. Les Deacons for Defense and Justice furent une source d'inspiration sur le point de l'autodéfense armée de la Lowndes County Freedom Organization (1965), qui luttait pour la participation électorale des Africains-Américains.
