“…However, when the passing of the 1967 Mulford Act by Californian state legislature -at the behest of Governor Ronald Regan -prohibited the BPP from publicly bearing arms, depriving them of a key organizational tactic, the party pivoted towards the international to 'transcend the tactics of armed patrols' (Bloom and Martin, 2013: 66). Drawing on an influential critique which identified the Black community as an internal colony within the US imperialist system, the nationalist thought of Malcom X and a tradition of Afro-American armed self-defence, the BPP linked the struggle for Black liberation in the United States to anticolonial struggles around the world (see Joseph, 2006).…”

This article introduces the idea of contextual shift for refining understanding of use and meaning of the concept of violence. Much theoretical work on violence today begins from the recognition that ‘violence’ is inextricably entangled with, and used to contest, the values that form the subject-matter of politics. Making sure that the concept of violence remains responsive to its real-world instances therefore requires tracing the way it is strategically appropriated and used by political actors. This article argues that a focus on contextual shift provides greater analytical purchase on these uses by showing how structural transformations open up new opportunities for using the concept of violence as actors seek to navigate contradictory commitments. The explanatory value of contextual shift is presented through an account of strategic appropriations of ‘violence’ by revolutionary actors during the Long 1960s, with particular attention paid to the uses made by Frantz Fanon and Stokely Carmichael.

“…In the mid-1960s another stream of resistance emerged among African Americans. Termed variously Black Nationalism or Black Power, it sought to redefine Black identity in terms of strength and resilience, rather than pathology (Joseph, 2006). Holliday (2009) discusses how that it was out of this movement that the ABPsi was formed in 1968.…”

Cultural Diversity & Ethnic Minority Psychology

The history of race and ethnicity in North America is long and complex. It has been fraught with racism and various forms of oppression--intellectual, social, and physical--and defies easy analysis. This article examines the history of race and ethnicity in the United States, and how it played out in the field of psychology. Although other articles in this issue examine the specific impact of racism and internal colonialism on racial and ethnic minorities, this article places these events within an international context, specifically the post-World War II era when oppressed peoples around the world sought liberation from colonial oppressors. The article suggests that the struggles and successes of racial and ethnic minority psychologists may provide the best opportunity for American psychology to connect with emerging indigenous psychologies in other parts of the world, which represent the future of psychology in a globalizing world.

“…While historians have demonstrated the importance of Black Power to people of African descent in the US, Britain, and the Anglophone Caribbean, attention to the concept's range among intellectuals and ordinary people in Africa is necessary (Joseph 2006(Joseph , 2009Ogbar 2019;Johnson 2019;Meeks 2009). Fanon Che Wilkins (2007), James Meriwether (2002), Brenda Plummer (2012), and Benjamin Talton (2019) bookend the era of Black Power and African American political engagement with Africans, while Manthia Diawara (2002) and Andrew Ivaska (2011) have illustrated how people in Bamako and Dar es Salaam, respectively, practiced Black Power through their engagement with and appropriation of music, fashion, and concepts of independence.…”

Black Power, Raw Soul, and Race in Ghana

In the late 1960s, Ghanaians joined the global conversation about Black Power. Despite the absence of President Nkrumah and attempts to dampen local interest in radical political movements, young Ghanaian students, musicians, and audience members were well informed of the global implications of white supremacy. Okuda examines how Ghanaians expanded the legacy of Black Power into an African context, seizing opportunities to connect with African Americans via popular media, exchange programs, and soul music to show their solidarity with the fight against racist policies and practices abroad and to stay vigilant against neo-imperialism at home.
