- W2302890124 abstract "In recent decades, there has been a virtual explosion of historical works relating to the African American experience. Yet, in the midst of this longoverdue recognition of blacks by scholars, the dynamics of historic African American business enterprise remains relatively obscure. This essay will cite and critique three primary reasons why black businesses and businesspeople have been under-represented in African American historiography. First, there has existed a pervasive belief that black business, historically, represented an unprogressive element of black community life. This attitude, which can be described as the black businessman as villain thesis, contributed to a longstanding dismissal of black business enterprise as worthy of serious examination. Second, even when black businesses were considered, their activities were analyzed in a non-comparative acuum which unduly diminished their significance. Finally, the integration and Civil Rights paradigms of the 1950s and 60s, which focused upon black movement into the American mainstream, further marginalized community-based black business enterprise. For years, the anti-black business cholarly tradition impeded a serious assessment of historic black business enterprise. Significantly, this school of thought, despite the vehemence of its arguments and the prominence of its proponents, appears replete with faulty assumptions and outright sloppy scholarship. The fzrst major anti-black business treatise, Abram Harris' 1936 book The Negro As Capitalist.' A Study of Banking and Business, exemplified how ideology can sometimes cloud analytical precision. Written during the midst of the Great Depression, The Negro As Capitalist reflected contemporary anti-business sentiment in America. Among other things, Hams found considerable fault with black businessmen's apparent self-serving promotion of racial solidarity. As James O. Young noted in Black [Vriters of the Thirties, Hams, along with his then-Howard University colleagues Ralph Bunche and Edward Franklin Frazier, timfly believed in the possibilities of inter-racial trade unionism. Consequently, this trio considered black business development as an irrelevancy that kept the black working class from linking with their white counterparts [Young, 1973, pp. 35-63]. Perhaps the most controversial aspect of The Negro As Capitalist was its direct association of black business with an exploitafive black rmddle class." @default.
