| Zusammenfassung: | "During the first half of the twentieth century, the efforts of archivists like Arturo Schomburg or Howard University librarian Dorothy Porter shaped the Black imagination and the direction of social and political movements. Every act of acquisition was an argument about the nature of the meaning of Black history. These decisions determined which stories would persist or disappear in the archival spaces of Black memory. In Scattered and Fugitive Things, Laura E. Helton follows these archival efforts across the storylines of six collectors. Their biographies reflect the diverse trajectories of diasporic thinkers in the United States. The self-taught Afro-Puerto Rican bibliophile Arturo Schomburg. Virginia-born Alexander Gumby was a working-class denizen of Harlem's gay underground and a prolific scrapbook maker. Vivian Harsh, the daughter of formerly enslaved parents, organized a collection on Chicago's South Side. Librarian Dorothy Porter became a central character in the Howard University intellectual scene and served briefly at the National Library of Nigeria. Virginia Lee stayed in the South, working within (and sometimes secretly against) the limits of Jim Crow restrictions on Black reading spaces. Historian L. D. Reddick served as curator of Schomburg's collection in the 1940s before joining the southern civil rights movement as its participant-chronicler. In a racially segregated information landscape, these archivists, as well as other Black thinkers, necessarily made their arguments through files and filing systems as well as through poetry and prose. The making of information systems is deeply entwined with Black intellectual history, and this book recovers that strain of practical criticism Scattered and Fugitive Things tells the stories of the Black collectors who dedicated themselves to documenting the history of African American life, traveling from the parlors of the urban north to HBCU reading rooms and branch libraries in the Jim Crow south |

Zielgruppe: 5PB-US-C, Bezug zu Afro-Amerikanern "During the first half of the twentieth century, the efforts of archivists like Arturo Schomburg or Howard University librarian Dorothy Porter shaped the Black imagination and the direction of social and political movements. Every act of acquisition was an argument about the nature of the meaning of Black history. These decisions determined which stories would persist or disappear in the archival spaces of Black memory. In Scattered and Fugitive Things, Laura E. Helton follows these archival efforts across the storylines of six collectors. Their biographies reflect the diverse trajectories of diasporic thinkers in the United States. The self-taught Afro-Puerto Rican bibliophile Arturo Schomburg. Virginia-born Alexander Gumby was a working-class denizen of Harlem's gay underground and a prolific scrapbook maker. Vivian Harsh, the daughter of formerly enslaved parents, organized a collection on Chicago's South Side. Librarian Dorothy Porter became a central character in the Howard University intellectual scene and served briefly at the National Library of Nigeria. Virginia Lee stayed in the South, working within (and sometimes secretly against) the limits of Jim Crow restrictions on Black reading spaces. Historian L. D. Reddick served as curator of Schomburg's collection in the 1940s before joining the southern civil rights movement as its participant-chronicler. In a racially segregated information landscape, these archivists, as well as other Black thinkers, necessarily made their arguments through files and filing systems as well as through poetry and prose. The making of information systems is deeply entwined with Black intellectual history, and this book recovers that strain of practical criticism Scattered and Fugitive Things tells the stories of the Black collectors who dedicated themselves to documenting the history of African American life, traveling from the parlors of the urban north to HBCU reading rooms and branch libraries in the Jim Crow south Geschichte gnd rswk-swf Weibliche Bibliophile (DE-588)4350618-5 gnd rswk-swf Bibliophiler (DE-588)4145245-8 gnd rswk-swf Schwarze (DE-588)4116433-7 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf African Americans / Archives / History Archives / United States / History / 20th century Archivists / United States / History / 20th century African Americans / Intellectual life / 20th century African American intellectuals / History / 20th century African American book collectors / History / 20th century African American librarians / History / 20th century African American historians / History / 20th century Libraries / Special collections / African Americans ART059000 Amerikanische Geschichte Black & Asian studies Cultural studies HIS056000 HISTORY / Americas (North, Central, South, West Indies) HISTORY / Social History History of the Americas Kulturwissenschaften Museology & heritage studies Museums- und Denkmalkunde SOCIAL SCIENCE / Anthropology / Cultural Social & cultural history Sozial- und Kulturgeschichte Archivistes / États-Unis / Histoire / 20e siècle Noirs américains / Vie intellectuelle / 20e siècle Intellectuels noirs américains / Histoire / 20e siècle Bibliophiles noirs américains / Histoire / 20e siècle Bibliothécaires noirs américains / Histoire / 20e siècle Historiens noirs américains / Histoire / 20e siècle Bibliothèques / Fonds spéciaux / Noirs américains USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Schwarze (DE-588)4116433-7 s Bibliophiler (DE-588)4145245-8 s Weibliche Bibliophile (DE-588)4350618-5 s Geschichte z DE-604 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe Helton, Laura E Scattered and fugitive things New York : Columbia University Press, [2023] 978-0-231-55954-6 (DE-604)BV049669921 Dietmardreier.de/annot/426F6F6B446174617C7C393738303233313231323734387C7C434F50.jpg?sq=4 Verlag Cover |
