The application of Critical Theory to history before 1900—examining how this vast terrain is constructed, how it serves present interests, and what's erased. Critical Theory of Pre-1900 History asks: How do we know what we think we know about this period? Whose voices survive, whose are lost? How have histories of pre-1900 been used to justify contemporary power? Drawing on postcolonial and feminist historiography, it insists that pre-1900 history is never just "back then"—it's a resource for the present, and its construction reflects present politics.
"Pre-1900 history is just what happened, they say. Critical Theory of Pre-1900 History asks: what happened according to whom? The archives were kept by the powerful; the voices of the enslaved, the colonized, the women are largely silent. Pre-1900 history is full of gaps—and those gaps tell us as much as the records. Critical theory insists on asking: who's missing from this story, and why?"

Critical Theory of Post-1900 History asks: Who writes the history of the recent past? How do contemporary power relations shape what's remembered and what's forgotten? How are histories of trauma, revolution, and resistance told—and by whom? Drawing on memory studies and critical historiography, it insists that post-1900 history is never just the past—it's the present arguing about itself through stories of what just happened.
"We know what happened, we were there, they say. Critical Theory of Post-1900 History asks: do we? Memory is selective, contested. The same events are remembered differently by victors and victims. Post-1900 history isn't settled; it's fought over. Critical theory insists on asking: whose memory counts, and whose is erased—and what does that tell us about power today?"

A Detroit Crip subset linked to the Los Angeles Rollin’ 100s, active mainly in Redford (48240) and along Grand River & W. Seven Mile. Small but consistent presence, often in graffiti disputes with 5Point Nation Crips (SCRG, BJSG, Hyena Crips). Allied with Rollin’ 60s (RR$C) and 7-Tel Rollin’ 40s.
“The 113 Original Blocc Crips / Rollin’ 100s NHC keep their tags up in Redford, even while the Hyena Crips (83GC) and 5PN try to dominate the area.”
