    The American Black Press and Late Imperial Russia

    Get PDF
    In early western accounts, Russia was distinctly oppressive, a state characterized by tyranny, barbarism, and Mongolian influence. But these accounts were faulty. They were written by merchants, diplomats, and explorers, wealthy white men who had never experienced the repression they witnessed in Russia. When Black Americans looked to Russia, however, they saw a place fundamentally similar to the United States. By tracing the coverage of Russia in the American Black press from 1827 to 1917, this paper argues that the connections between slavery and serfdom drove Black attitudes toward late Imperial Russia, making Black accounts reflective of circumstances in the United States, Russia, and the Black press itself.

Using data from the Knight-Newhouse College Athletics Data project from 2014 to 2021, the research reveals that the salaries of men\u27s teams’ coaches grew significantly more than those of women\u27s teams’ coaches, especially among the most competitive schools in FBS (Power conferences). At Power conference schools, the increase in the severance pay for men’s teams’ coaches was 5.3 times larger than the growth in women’s teams’ coaching salaries. The study confirms that the higher the level of competition, there is a growing disproportion of compensation in favor of men’s teams’ coaches over women’s teams’ coaches. FBS institutions’ chase for prestige means paying coaches of men’s teams increasingly more than they pay to the coaches of women’s teams, despite espoused values of gender equity, the intent of Title IX, and economic conditions
