- Title
Freedom Time: New Directions in Civil Rights Movement Scholarship.
- Authors
McGinley, Paige A.
- Abstract
The phrase "civil rights movement" scarcely appears in Redmond's I Everything Man i , and not without good reason: whether for reasons of Robeson's communist associations, ill health, or personal choice, Robeson had a tenuous association with the narrowly construed "classical phase" of the movement. In I Black Patience i , Fleming shows how the Black theatrical tradition of the civil rights movement "helped time" by making regimes of Black patience - and white I im i patience - visible as structures of domination. In making these unexpected moves, Fleming suggests the possibility of a broader constituency of civil rights movement artists and artworks. Fleming repeatedly invokes the historian Jacquelyn Dowd Hall's clarion call to "make civil rights harder" (quoted on 23) - that is, to make accounts of the movement more textured and complex and, in doing so, to resist calcified or sanitized narratives that would deprive the movement of its variety and its militancy.
