Abstract in another language
My dissertation research utilises digitized Black American newspapers with a specific focus and analysis of the global reach of the social and economic grievances of non- and semi-literate colonized Nigerian subjects. Although the use of digitized newspapers presents great research possibilities enabling researchers to consult a wider breadth of materials and interrogate it in different ways than previously possible, it also presents several pitfalls, partly related to newspaper editors’ unfamiliarity with Africa. Thus, this presentation will reflect on my experience searching for historical agency and the representation of women and workers in the Black Newspaper Collection of ProQuest’s Historical Newspapers database.
