 The Black Power Movement in Historical Perspective: Dialogues on Race and
American Society


The Institute for African American Studies at the University of Connecticut
announces its first national conference: The Black Power Movement in
Historical Perspective: Dialogues on Race and American Society, November
13-14, 2003, South Campus Ballroom, University of Connecticut, Storrs.

Over thirty-five years after the beginning of the Black Power Movement, a
growing body of scholars offers new and fascinating approaches at
understanding the complexities of Black Power and its significance. From
Kwanzaa to African American Studies to music and the arts, the legacies of
Black Power are palpable. The conference will explore the nuances of
resistance, radicalism constructions of identity and discourse. The
conference will bring together a broad-based, interdisciplinary program
that includes scholars, artists, activists, and cultural workers from across
the United States and abroad.

Paper sessions include, but are not limited to:

   1. Gender and Black Power
   2. Local organizing in schools, and work
   3. Expressive culture, the arts and Black Power
   4. The influence of Black Power outside of African American communities
   5. Feminist and womanist perspectives
