Abstract

Reflet des débats actuels dans les champs croisés des Études afro-américaines et des Études diasporiques, ces essais critiques et études de cas explorent l’articulation entre les concepts fluctuants de « race » et de diaspora et les négociations des identités au-delà des différences. Ils étudient tour à tour l’évolution de l’(inter)nationalisme noir au sein de la Diaspora, les nouveaux discours sur la post-racialité et la notion de « postblackness », la conscience raciale chez les soldats afro-américains, l’expatriation et la re-diasporisation. Le constat d’un rejet de l’africanité au sein de sociétés telles que les Émirats, le Maroc ou la République dominicaine entre en relation avec les analyses d’œuvres d’art au prisme d’une conscience diasporique et de textes littéraires qui disent l’internationalisme ou subvertissent la notion de « race ». James Baldwin dialogue alors avec Percival Everett. Reflecting current debates in the intersecting fields of African American Studies and African Diaspora, these critical essays and case studies explore the articulation between the fluctuating concepts of ‘race’ and Diaspora and the negotiations of identities across differences. They examine in turn the developments of diasporic black (inter)nationalism, new discourses on ‘postraciality’ and ‘postblackness’, race consciousness among African American soldiers, expatriation and re-diasporization. The acknowledgement of a rejection of Africanness in societies such as the Emirates, Morocco or the Dominican Republic dialogues with examinations of artwork through the lenses of a diasporic consciousness and analyses of literary texts that celebrate internationalism or subvert the notion of ‘race’. James Baldwin thus converses with Percival Everett.

Abstract

This volume follows eleven Black male teachers from an urban, predominantly Black school district to reveal a complex set of identity politics and power dynamics that complicate these teachers’ relationships with students and fellow educators. It provides new and important insights into what it means to be a Black male teacher and suggests strategies for school districts, teacher preparation programs, researchers and other stakeholders to rethink why and how we recruit and train Black male teachers for urban K-12 classrooms.

Abstract

Coeditado por Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung. Leer a Fanon, medio siglo después es una invitación a conocer la obra de Frantz Fanon, un pensador del Caribe y de África, de los pueblos del Sur global, que vivió con toda intensidad el proceso de descolonización del Tercer Mundo y creó herramientas que permiten descubrirla realidad velada por siglos de colonización y dominación moderna occidental, en particular por la existencia dada a conocer como "negritud", que es el ser otro de la "civilización moderna" o su anverso, sumergido y silenciado. Las ideas de Frantz Fanon fueron una crítica incisiva al proyecto moderno, a Europa y sus facsímiles, que hicieron girar la atención hacia los sujetos del Sur en tiempos de un protagonismo esencial durante complejos proyectos de independencia, descolonización y emancipación humana de los vetustos mecanismos de la dominación, inaugurados tras el encuentro de Europa con el "Nuevo Mundo".

Abstract

"While portrayals of immigrants and their descendants in France and throughout Europe often center on burning cars and radical Islam, Citizen Outsider: Children of North African Immigrants in France paints a different picture. Through fieldwork and interviews in Paris and its banlieues, Jean Beaman examines middle-class and upwardly mobile children of Maghrebin, or North African immigrants. By showing how these individuals are denied cultural citizenship because of their North African origin, she puts to rest the notion of a French exceptionalism regarding cultural difference, race, and ethnicity and further centers race and ethnicity as crucial for understanding marginalization in French society"--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

In Ontological Terror Calvin L. Warren intervenes in Afro-pessimism, Heideggerian metaphysics, and black humanist philosophy by positing that the "Negro question" is intimately imbricated with questions of Being. Warren uses the figure of the antebellum free black as a philosophical paradigm for thinking through the tensions between blackness and Being. He illustrates how blacks embody a metaphysical nothing. This nothingness serves as a destabilizing presence and force as well as that which whiteness defines itself against. Thus, the function of blackness as giving form to nothing presents a terrifying problem for whites: they need blacks to affirm their existence, even as they despise the nothingness they represent. By pointing out how all humanism is based on investing blackness with nonbeing - a logic which reproduces antiblack violence and precludes any realization of equality, justice, and recognition for blacks - Warren urges the removal of the human from its metaphysical pedestal and the exploration of ways of existing that are not predicated on a grounding in being.

Abstract

This book analyses the social and ethical implications of the globalization of emerging skin-whitening and anti-ageing biotechnology. Using an intersectional theoretical framework and a content analysis methodology drawn from cultural studies, the sociology of knowledge, the history of colonial medicine and critical race theory, it examines technical reports, as well as print and on-line advertisements from pharmaceutical and cosmetics companies for skin-whitening products. With close attention to the promises of ‘ageless beauty’, ‘brightened’, youthful skin and solutions to ‘pigmentation problems’ for non-white women, the author reveals the dynamics of racialization and biomedicalization at work. A study of a significant sector of the globalised health and wellness industries, Wellness in Whiteness will appeal to social scientists with interests in gender, race and ethnicity, biotechnology and embodiment.

Abstract

From BlackPlanet to #BlackGirlMagic, 'Distributed Blackness' places blackness at the very center of internet culture. Andre Brock Jr. claims issues of race and ethnicity as inextricable from and formative of contemporary digital culture in the United States. 'Distributed Blackness' analyzes a host of platforms and practices (from Black Twitter to Instagram, YouTube, and app development) to trace how digital media have reconfigured the meanings and performances of African American identity. Brock moves beyond widely circulated deficit models of respectability, bringing together discourse analysis with a close reading of technological interfaces to develop nuanced arguments about how "blackness" gets worked out in various technological domains. 0As Brock demonstrates, there's nothing niche or subcultural about expressions of blackness on social media: internet use and practice now set the terms for what constitutes normative participation. Drawing on critical race theory, linguistics, rhetoric, information studies, and science and technology studies, Brock tabs between black-dominated technologies, websites, and social media to build a set of black beliefs about technology. In explaining black relationships with and alongside technology, Brock centers the unique joy and sense of community in being black online now.
