CALL FOR PAPERS: NCOBPS 2024
Tipping Point: Reexamining and Reconceptualizing an Intersectional Black Politics in the Era of “Racial Reconciliation.”
Since President George Washington’s plea of being wary of political factions, the birth of a party system has taken shape across the United States of America’s political system. With the evolution of political parties, African Americans have been striving to find an alliance that has best served their diverse and intersectional interests in local, state, and national elections. With the election of Barack Obama, the Republican Party has become more visibly anti-progressive with the interest of African Americans; yet, it was the election of Donald Trump that had dismantled the Republican Party. In the midst of an era of “racial reconciliation” and a broken two-party system, how can African Americans manage their political power to help accomplish their desired goals? This conference will explore the newest frontier of the need of a global coalition of the African diaspora to create political power to help achieve its desired goals throughout the globe.
