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

这个项目将研究维多利亚时代后期（1880-1910）英国和英国殖民地的期刊和报纸网络中的黑人视角javascript：__doPostBack（'ctl00$oSaveBar$btnNext'，''）。虽然该项目将考虑其他形式的文学和著作，但重点仍将放在新闻业的“黄金时代”和技术进步的全球化媒体中的期刊和报纸上。我的研究将定位，分析，并优先考虑黑人的贡献和著作，以了解早期的网络和宣传和反对泛非主义在一个不断扩大的帝国。虽然试图了解整个帝国的黑人报纸和报纸网络，本研究将主要集中在西非，特别是塞拉利昂和拉各斯，两个世界性的殖民地特别重要的泛非运动。这篇论文将有助于非殖民化期刊研究的学术必要性，通过分析流行的和鲜为人知的英国出版物一起西非英语报纸和期刊。我的研究将结合英国文化中的黑人和非洲人的观点，以及鲜为人知和更广为人知的英国黑人知识分子，如爱德华·布莱登、非洲人比尔·霍顿和奥里沙图凯·法杜玛。超越机构的可访问性是这个项目的必要条件，所以我的论文将纳入一个网站，地图，包括这些西非人和英国黑人的著作，以了解在维多利亚时代经常被忽视的泛非社区。由于这些期刊和报纸中有许多只存在于数据库或档案馆中，特别是那些来自西非的期刊和报纸，该网站将致力于提供这些著作的摘录，以使学术界以外的人更容易查阅。我将展示期刊，殖民权力的关键，本身已经被“无纪律”，解构和重建，因为黑人作家在维多利亚时代的最后几年用它们来产生新的网络和新的理解种族的方式。

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.
