In addition to the DHIB supported project (“1968: I odezwą się z góry/Voices from the Mountaintop”) I’m working on with Marta Cieslak, my work is currently focused on the transnational history of race and class in the modern world economy. I’m finishing a book entitled The Common Bonds of the Black Atlantic: The Political Economy of Race and Class that resuscitates and builds on the thinking of an early to mid-twentieth century Black World school of class analysis in writing an alternative Black World history. Though a continuation of the themes I pursued in my first book, it is remote from the subject of my second book that was a spinoff of a documentary project on the Underground Railroad which I co-produced with Kevin Burke of the Electronic Media Department of the University of Cincinnati. Besides the opportunity to pursue the set of skills acquired in that endeavor, “1968” gives me the chance to advance my lifelong interest in Polish history and language dating from my days as an undergraduate study abroad student in Poland.
The Project:
“1968: I odezwą się z góry/Voices from the Mountaintop” is a multimedia bilingual project including research on the transnational history of the social and political ferment and the literature of 1968 in Poland and the US.
In summer 2008, with the financial support of DHIB, we conducted interviews with the participants of the 1968 student protests in Warsaw, Poland. Additionally, we had an opportunity to spend two months in numerous Polish archives, including the National Polish Archive, the National Library Archive and the Archive of the KARTA Center - an independent non-governmental organization documenting and popularizing the recent history of Poland and Eastern Europe. Currently we are doing research examining the US component of the project that examines nationalism under two seemingly distinct political systems.
