Love for liberation : African independence, Black Power, and a diaspora underground
\"During the height of the Cold War, passionate idealists across the U.S. and Africa came together to fight for Black self-determination and the antiracist remaking of society. Beginning with the 1957 Ghanaian independence celebration, the optimism and challenges of African independence leaders were publicized to African Americans through community-based newspapers and Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Inspired by African independence--and frustrated with the slow pace of civil rights reforms in the U.S.--a new generation of Black Power activists embarked on nonviolent direct action campaigns and built alternative institutions designed as spaces of freedom from racial subjugation. Featuring interviews with activists, extensive archival research, and media analysis, Robin Hayes reveals how Black Power and African independence activists created a diaspora underground, characterized by collaboration and reciprocal empowerment. Together, they redefined racial discrimination as an international human rights issue requiring education, sustained collective action, and global solidarity--laying the groundwork for future transnational racial justice movements, such as Black Lives Matter\"-- Provided by publisher.

The International Dimensions of Everyday Black Political Participation
The extent to which everyday African American political participation operates across US borders is rarely examined. This article explores this phenomenon by asking if there is a relationship between the characteristics of black social movements outside the USA and how African American institutions encourage their constituencies inside the USA to participate politically. Through background research, the authors developed hypotheses about how independent variables relating to the ideology, tactics, and membership of the African independence movement relate to the dependent variable, participation encouragement, by African American institutions. In order to operationalize these measures, data were gathered through the African American Press Internationalism Study—a content analysis of 451 articles and editorials about the African independence movement that appeared in African American newspapers between 1957 and 1971.

Prediction of Dislocation Nucleation During Nanoindentation by the Orbital-Free Density Functional Theory Local Quasi-continuum Method
We introduce the orbital-free density functional theory local quasi-continuum\\linebreak (OFDFT-LQC) method: a first-principles-based multiscale material model that embeds OFDFT unit cells at the subgrid level of a finite element computation. Although this method cannot address intermediate length scales such as grain boundary evolution or microtexture, it is well suited to study material phenomena such as continuum level prediction of dislocation nucleation and the effects of varying alloy composition. The model is illustrated with the simulation of dislocation nucleation during indentation into the $(111)$ and $(\\overline{1}10)$ surfaces of aluminum and compared against results obtained using an embedded atom method interatomic potential. None of the traditional dislocation nucleation criteria (Hertzian principal shear stress, actual principal shear stress, von Mises strain, or resolved shear stress) correlates with a previously proposed local elastic stability criterion, $\\Lambda$. Discrepancies in dislocation nucleation predictions between OFDFT-LQC and other simulations highlight the need for accurate, atomistic constitutive models and the use of realistically sized indenters in the simulations.

Black and Cuba: Liberation, African American Studies, and the Tools of Third Cinema
In this article director Robin Hayes discusses the making and content of the documentary feature Black and Cuba (2014), which follows a diverse group of Yale African American Studies PhD students who journey to Cuba to explore the island's revolutionary past and present. Although the group had no previous filmmaking experience or training, in the traditions of Third Cinema and Black studies, they decide to empower themselves to create a documentary about their trip in order to share what they learn with their communities. The film's depictions of the students' candid encounters with Afro-Cubans from all walks of life reveal the ongoing relationship between race and class in spite of mainstream tropes in both the United States and Cuba that assert these national cultures are “postracial” and “color-blind.” The author argues that Black and Cuba's comparative exploration of continuing racial inequality illustrates that decreased investment in the social safety net and increased privatization of the economy create specific obstacles for both African Americans and Afro-Cubans.

“I used the term ‘Negro’ and I was firmly corrected”: African independence, Black Power and channels of diasporic resistance
This dissertation asserts that institutions indigenous to the African diaspora facilitate transnational exchanges between black social movements by encouraging organizations and activists to identify with each other across national boundaries. Using the research methods of content analysis, in-depth interview and archival research, this project focuses on exchanges of ideas and tactics between the Black Panther Party, Organization of Afro-American Unity (OAAU) and Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and African independence movements in Algeria, Congo, Ghana, Guinea and South Africa that were facilitated by the black press, black institutions of higher learning and emancipated spaces. Through its comparative, interdisciplinary approach that unites literatures concerning social movements, race, ethnicity and politics and the African diaspora, \"I Used the Term 'Negro' and I was Firmly Corrected\" enhances our understanding of transnational relationships between social movements, the roles that indigenous institutions play in fostering racial solidarity and the relationship between identity and protest in historically marginalized communities. This project theorizes that, in three ways, institutions indigenous to the African diaspora foster the mutual identification between organizations and activists that social movement theorists agree is necessary for transnational exchanges between social movements. First, indigenous institutions devote their resources to gathering and sharing information about social movement organizations and activists throughout the diaspora. Second, these institutions filter this information through their communities' master injustice frames, which I define as the philosophies, narratives and actions that historically marginalized communities most consistently utilize over time to articulate their subjugation as unjust and build intra-group solidarity. Third, they authenticate the claims and work of black social movements in other countries that are consistent with the parameters of their communities' master injustice frames. This theory draws on the social movement literature's conception of cross-national social movement diffusion; debates in the race, ethnicity and politics literature about the roles that indigenous institutions play in the struggles of historically marginalized communities and historical accounts of transnational relationships found in the study of the African diaspora.
