Resisting 'Race' Organizing African Transnational Identities in the United States
The 'New African Diaspora': Assessing The Pains and Gains of Exile, The University of Indiana Press.
The New York Times reports that since 1990 more Africans have voluntarily relocated to the United States and Canada than had been forcibly brought here before the slave trade ended in 1807. The key reason for these migrations has been the collapse of social, political, economic, and educational structures in their home countries, which has driven Africans to seek security and self-realization in the West. This lively and timely collection of essays takes a look at the new immigrant experience. It traces the immigrants' progress from expatriation to arrival and covers the successes as well as problems they have encountered as they establish their lives in a new country. The contributors, most immigrants themselves, use their firsthand experiences to add clarity, honesty, and sensitivity to their discussions of the new African diaspora.

Black Civil Society, International Affairs, And United States Foreign Policy - Online Course
Jill M. Humphries, PhD, MPH
This course examines the historical role of Black Americans and the changing contours that shaped their involvement in international affairs and foreign policy. Situating the Black Freedom movement in the context of global freedom movements we will use historical text, literature, art and contemporary movements to examine the political, social, economic, and cultural factors that shaped African American identity in the United States and that led to the development of a unique and distinct ‘black foreign policy’. We will also explore how the civil rights movement changed the socio-economic and political landscape that has led to a tripartite black body politic one elite, middle and working class and how the social and economic location of these three groups makes it increasingly more difficult to conceptualize a ‘black foreign policy and/or international perspective’.

Transgressing Black Female Gendered- Sexuality - Online Course
Jill M. Humphries, PhD, MPH
This course explores Black female gendered-sexuality from a transnational perspective. Drawing primarily from a social science perspective we will examine the theoretical, conceptual, historical, and socio-cultural context in which race, gender, and sexuality are used as analytical concepts. Using new media technology we will explore the fluidity of these concepts as social constructions that shape and influence our notions about women of Afro-descent as racialized gendered sexual beings. Students will learn an interdisciplinary approach to the study of race, gender, and sexuality and apply this newly acquired information to analyze historical and contemporary shifts in the field of sexuality studies. Additionally, students will develop their analytical, critical, and public speaking skills through dialogical engagement with fellow students, and reviewing empirical based studies.

We will also explore how the civil rights movement changed the socio-economic and political landscape that has led to a tripartite black body politic one elite, middle and working class and how the social and economic location of these three groups makes it increasingly more difficult to conceptualize a ‘black foreign policy and/or international perspective’.

Transgressing Black Female Gendered- Sexuality - Online Course
Jill M. Humphries, PhD, MPH
This course explores Black female gendered-sexuality from a transnational perspective. Drawing primarily from a social science perspective we will examine the theoretical, conceptual, historical, and socio-cultural context in which race, gender, and sexuality are used as analytical concepts. Using new media technology we will explore the fluidity of these concepts as social constructions that shape and influence our notions about women of Afro-descent as racialized gendered sexual beings. Students will learn an interdisciplinary approach to the study of race, gender, and sexuality and apply this newly acquired information to analyze historical and contemporary shifts in the field of sexuality studies. Additionally, students will develop their analytical, critical, and public speaking skills through dialogical engagement with fellow students, and reviewing empirical based studies.

Resisting 'Race' Organizing African Transnational Identities in the United States
The 'New African Diaspora': Assessing The Pains and Gains of Exile, The University of Indiana Press.
The New York Times reports that since 1990 more Africans have voluntarily relocated to the United States and Canada than had been forcibly brought here before the slave trade ended in 1807. The key reason for these migrations has been the collapse of social, political, economic, and educational structures in their home countries, which has driven Africans to seek security and self-realization in the West. This lively and timely collection of essays takes a look at the new immigrant experience. It traces the immigrants' progress from expatriation to arrival and covers the successes as well as problems they have encountered as they establish their lives in a new country. The contributors, most immigrants themselves, use their firsthand experiences to add clarity, honesty, and sensitivity to their discussions of the new African diaspora.

White Subjectivity and Privilege in the 21st Century Multimedia Library
Jill M. Humphries, PhD, MPH
White Subjectivity and Privilege in the 21st Century is a rare introspection into the "white habitus"—a conversation that takes place among white graduate students at Temple University about what it means to be white in a racialized society. More specifically, the discussants explore what factors influenced their own racial identity formation, how this informs their way of being and relating to non-white people, emergent anti-racist consciousness, and acts of resistance or capitulation to the current racial system. This educational DVD is designed to assist instructors in higher education or in other public settings about how to teach the contours of whiteness as a dimension of racism in the United States. Traditional courses on race, racial identity, and racism primarily focus on the negative affects of systemic racism on non-white racial groups in the United States. Few courses in higher education integrate traditional race curriculum with critical white studies that examine the links between race, white racial identity formation, white privilege, and structural racism.
