About this listen
This is Ashley Newby and you’re listening to The Black Studies podcast, a Mellon grant sponsored series of conversations examining the history of the field. Our conversations engage with a wide range of activists and scholars - senior figures in the field, late doctoral students, and everyone in between, culture workers, and political organizers - in order to explore the cultural and political meaning of Black Studies as an area of inquiry and its critical methods.
Today’s discussion is with Ula Taylor, who teaches in the Department of African American and African Diaspora Studies at University of California, Berkeley. In addition to numerous articles in scholarly journals she is the author of The Promise of Patriarchy: Women and the Nation of Islam, The Veiled Garvey: The Life and Times of Amy Jacques Garvey, co-author with J. Tarika Lewis of Panther: A Pictorial History of the Black Panther Party and The Story Behind the Film and co-editor of Black California Dreamin: The Crisis of California African American Communities. In this conversation, we discuss the history and politics of Black Studies, the expansive significance of the field, and the meaning of generational shifts for the practice of Black study.
