This transformative collection advances new approaches to Black
intellectual history by foregrounding the experiences and ideas of
people who lacked access to more privileged mechanisms of public
discourse and power. While the anthology highlights renowned
intellectuals such as W. E. B. Du Bois, it also spotlights thinkers
such as enslaved people in the antebellum United States, US Black
expatriates in Guyana, and Black internationals in Liberia. The
knowledge production of these men, women, and children has
typically been situated outside the disciplinary and conceptual
boundaries of intellectual history. The volume centers on the
themes of slavery and sexuality; abolitionism; Black
internationalism; Black protest, politics, and power; and the
intersections of the digital humanities and Black intellectual
history. The essays draw from diverse methodologies and fields to
examine the ideas and actions of Black thinkers from the eighteenth
century to the present, offering fresh insights while creating
space for even more creative approaches within the field. Timely
and incisive, Ideas in Unexpected Places encourages scholars to ask
new questions through innovative interpretive lenses-and invites
students, scholars, and other practitioners to push the boundaries
of Black intellectual history even further.
During the 1960s and 70s, Chicago was shaped by art and ideas
produced and circulated on its South Side. Defined by the city’s
social, political, and geographic divides and by the energies of
its multiple overlapping art scenes, this vibrant moment of
creative expression produced a cultural legacy whose impact
continues to unfold nationally and internationally. The Time is
Now! Art Worlds of Chicago’s South Side, 1960-1980, published in
tandem with an exhibition at the Smart Museum of Art, examines this
cultural moment—brimming with change and conflict—and the
figures who defined it. Focusing primarily on African American
artists in and out of the Black Arts Movement, The Time is Now!
re-examines watershed cultural moments: from the Wall of Respect to
Black Creativity, from the Civil Rights Movement to AfriCOBRA, from
vivid protest posters to visionary Afrofuturist art, and from the
Hairy Who to the radical sounds of the Association for the
Advancement of Creative Musicians. Employing new scholarship that
reassesses and recalibrates traditional narratives of postwar
Chicago art, the exhibit resonates with current national dialogues
around race, gender, protest, and belonging. The book contains a
series of long and short essays, interviews, and other contextual
material, along with full-color images of all works included in the
exhibition and extensive reproductions of ephemera and historical
photographs
