Brief Bio
John H. Bracey, Jr. has taught in the
W.E.B. Du Bois Department of Afro-American Studies at the University of Massachusetts
Amherst since 1972. His major interests are in African American social history,
radical ideologies and movements, and the history of African American Women;
more recently his interests have focused on the interactions between Native
Americans and African Americans and Afro-Latinos in the United States. He
previously taught Afro-American history at Northern Illinois University and
at the University of Rochester. During the 1960s, he was active in the Civil
Rights, Black Liberation, and other radical Movements in Chicago. His publications
include several co-edited volumes, including Black Nationalism in America (1970), African-American
Women and the Vote: 1837-1965 (1997), Strangers and Neighbors: Relations
Between Blacks and Jews in the United States (1999), and African
American Mosaic: A Documentary History from the Slave Trade to the Present (2004).
Professor Bracey has co-edited (with the late August Meier and Elliott Rudwick)
a number of other volumes on various aspects of African American experience.
Bracey's scholarship also includes editorial work [with August Meier and
Sharon Harley] on the microfilm series Black Studies Research Sources (University
Publications of America), which includes the Papers of the NAACP, A. Philip
Randolph, Mary McLeod Bethune, the National Association of Colored Women's
Clubs, and Horace Mann Bond.
