About

This is my rather fragmentary research blog, with some commentary on work management thrown in. I put here what is waiting to be organized into my larger bibliographies, and what I find on the side.

My original header image was of the New Orleans Black Men of Labor at the 2006 Labor Day Parade. This photograph was originally published at a spinoff site of WWOZ. I do not have permission to use it and in the meantime I am using another image of the same group, from Wikimedia Commons.

I like these photographs because they look so African, Indian, and Caribbean that they hardly seem to have been taken in the United States. And yet they have, and that is how New Orleans is.

Now having begun we pour out water for Olodumare, the oldest god. Qui potest capere capiat.
