"West African Writings and Pan-African Networks: Black Periodicals and Print Culture in the Late- Victorian British Empire"

这个项目将考察维多利亚时代晚期(1880年至1910年)英国和英国殖民地的期刊和报纸网络中的黑人perspecjavascript：__doPostBack(‘ctl00$oSaveBar$btnNext’，‘)。虽然该项目将考虑其他形式的文学和写作，但在新闻业的“黄金时代”和技术进步的全球化媒体中，重点仍将放在期刊和报纸上。我的研究将定位、分析和优先排序黑人的贡献和著作，以便了解早期网络以及在一个不断扩大的帝国中倡导和反对泛非主义。虽然试图了解整个帝国的黑人报纸和期刊网络，但这项研究将主要集中在西非，特别关注西拉里昂和拉各斯，这两个世界性殖民地对泛非运动特别重要。这一理论将有助于通过分析流行的和鲜为人知的英国出版物以及西非以英语为母语的报纸和期刊，推动学术上对期刊研究的非殖民化。我的研究将把英国文化中黑人和非洲人的观点与爱德华·布莱登、非洲人比尔·霍顿和奥里沙图克·法杜马等不太知名、更广为人知的英国黑人知识分子结合起来。对于这个项目来说，超越机构的可访问性是必不可少的，所以我的论文将纳入一个网站，该网站绘制并包括这些西非人和英国黑人的作品，以了解维多利亚时代一个经常被忽视的泛非社区。由于其中许多期刊和报纸只在数据库或档案馆，特别是西非的数据库或档案中存在性别歧视，该网站将致力于提供这些著作的摘录，以便使学术界以外的人更容易接触到这些著作。我将展示，期刊，如此关键的强加殖民权力，本身已经被‘无纪律’，解构和重建，因为黑人作家利用它们来产生新的网络和新的方式，在维多利亚时代的最后几年理解种族。

This project will examine Black perspecjavascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$oSaveBar$btnNext','')tives in periodical and newspaper networks in Great Britain and theBritish colonies during the late Victorian era (1880-1910). While the project will consider other forms ofliterature and writings, the focus will remain on periodicals and newspapers amidst the "golden age" of journalism and a technologically advancing, globalizing media. My research will locate, analyze, and prioritizeBlack contributions and writings in order to understand early networks and advocacy for-and against-Pan-Africanism in an expanding empire. While the attempt is to understand Black newspapers and periodicalnetworks across the empire, this study will focus primarily on West Africa, with a particular focus on SierraLeone and Lagos, two cosmopolitan colonies particularly significant for the Pan-African movement. This thesiswill contribute to the scholarly imperative to decolonize periodical studies by analyzing popular and lesser-known Great Britain publications alongside West African Anglophone newspapers and periodicals. Myresearch will incorporate perspectives of Blackness and African-ness in British culture with lesser-known andmore widely known Black British intellectuals like Edward Blyden, Africanus Beale Horton, and OrishatukehFaduma. Accessibility beyond the institution is imperative for this project, so my dissertation will incorporate awebsite that maps and includes writings by these West Africans and Black Britons in order to understand anoften-overlooked Pan-African community in the Victorian era. As many of these periodicals and newspapersexist only in databases or archives, particularly those from West Africa, the website will aim to provideexcerpts to these writings in order to improve accessibility to people beyond academia. I will show thatperiodicals, so key to the imposition of colonial power, were themselves already being 'undisciplined', deconstructed, and reconstructed, as Black writers used them to generate new networks and new ways ofunderstanding race in the closing years of the Victorian era.
