If all the South were Alabama and you read the most important book on the Civil Rights movement, it would be Mills Thornton’s Dividing Lines. Historians of the movement everywhere will have to conjure with it. Conjuring with Dividing Lines will not be cheap or easy. The publisher says it has been twenty years in the making, but Thornton interviewed many of its principle characters twenty-five years ago. Indeed, his book is a life’s work, for its author grew up in Montgomery and experienced its turbulent history as a youngster. Thornton knows the city intimately and has mastered the sources on Birmingham and Selma as well. He must assume that his readers are serious adults with serious interest in the subject, for he gives no quarter. His book, offering massive detail in 583 pages of text and 111 pages of meaty endnotes, is not for the weak or faint of heart. In his more theoretical introduction and conclusion, Thornton challenges readers with paragraphs that run beyond a page of text and sentences running to ten lines of type. They demand and reward a reader’s undistracted attention.

This essay discusses the cultural work and practice behind this special issue, and the processes and specific institutionalities that had to be navigated in order to bring this project forward. We address the relative absence of spaces for discussion and consideration of Afro-Indigenous histories, cultures, intersections, and provide a preview of the contributors to this Part II of the Dividing Lines project.

Zuleica Romay Guerra
This brief essay places Rodney in the context of the development of trans-Atlantic African Diaspora consciousness and culture, and the development of non-Western contingent Marxist theories from dependency to his underdevelopment thesis. Rodney’s biography and intellectual development are contextualized in their Caribbean, Latin American and Diasporic Black contexts, and in the context of Rodney’s engagement with people, pedagogy and political processes in Jamaica, Tanzania, London and Guyana. Specifics of his Cuban sojourns and evolving conceptions of the revolution, his work on a book while there, and his placement within Cuban research and broader Caribbean and Latin American tendencies are examined.

Ivor L. Miller
Building on nearly three decades of research in Cameroon, Cuba and Nigeria, Miller articulates an active Diaspora heritage between West Africa’s Ékpè ‘leopard’ society for community justice and the Cuban Abakuá mutual-aid society. After describing a collective research methodology engaged with initiates of both groups, he articulates an overarching narrative of this trans-Atlantic civilization. Through an examination of the literature about them, he identifies historical biases towards these institutions that hinder a contemporary dialogue with State representatives in each location.

G. de Laforcade
Ethnographer, choreographer and poet Rogelio Martínez Furé (August 1937- October 2022), whose written and performed excavations of the idiosyncracies and fugitivities of interwoven African and Cuban cultural and spiritual tapestries is as timeless in acumen as unbounded in fecundity, leaves a legacy of emancipatory erudition. Zanj honors his memory by giving voice to those who, from the pulpits of scholarship to the archives of orality and the credos of everyday struggle, forage Cuban history for clues to the mysteries and palimpsests of identity. We are indebted to his patient disavowal of the shackles of epistemic colonialism, linguistic and disciplinary silos, and to his knowledge of sacred and profane Afro-diasporic storytelling. 2012 was the year of the bicentennial of the Yoruba-descended carpenter José Aponte’s planned rebellion for freedom against slavery, the centennial of the uprising and repression of the Independent Party of Color led by mambi veterans Evaristo Estenoz and Pedro Ivonnet, and the founding of the community-based Red Barrial Afrodescendiente (Afro-Descendant Neighborhood Network) in Cuba.
民族学家、编舞家和诗人Rogelio Martínez fur(1937年8月- 2022年10月),他对非洲和古巴文化和精神交织的特质和逃亡性的文字和表演挖掘是永恒的敏锐和无限的丰富性,留下了解放的博学遗产。从学术的讲坛到口头语言的档案,再到日常斗争的信条,从古巴历史中寻找神秘的线索和身份的重写,Zanj通过为这些人发声来纪念他。我们感谢他耐心地拒绝认识论殖民主义、语言和学科孤岛的束缚,感谢他对神圣和亵渎的非洲流散故事的了解。2012年是约鲁巴人后裔木匠乔斯·阿庞特(joss Aponte)计划的反奴隶制自由叛乱200周年,是曼比族退伍军人埃瓦里斯托·埃斯特诺斯(Evaristo Estenoz)和佩德罗·伊沃内特(Pedro Ivonnet)领导的有色人种独立党(independence Party of Color)起义和镇压100周年,也是以社区为基础的古巴黑人后裔社区网络(Red Barrial affro后裔Network)成立100周年。
