The first monograph to investigate the poetics and politics of haunting in African diaspora literature, Ghosts of the African Diaspora: Re-Visioning History, Memory, and Identity examines literary works by five contemporary writers-Fred D'Aguiar, Gloria Naylor, Paule Marshall, Michelle Cliff, and Toni Morrison. Chassot argues that reading these texts through the lens of the ghost does cultural, theoretical, and political work crucial to the writers' engagement with issues of identity, memory, and history. Drawing on memory and trauma studies, postcolonial studies and queer theory, this truly interdisciplinary volume makes an important contribution to the fast-growing field of spectrality studies.

Aux États-Unis, la notion de race est utilisée de manière routinière par les médecins en tant que variable biologique, culturelle ou sociale, selon les situations de soins. Croisant les notions de citoyenneté, de responsabilité et de droits civiques, ainsi que les questionnements autour de la politisation de la science, cet ouvrage retrace l’histoire de la médicalisation du corps noir par la profession psychiatrique aux États-Unis, du xxe siècle jusqu’à l’époque contemporaine. Conjuguant l’histoire et la sociologie, il est ainsi question de retracer les différents régimes par lesquels la notion de race a été jugée pertinente par les psychiatres pour naturaliser les différences corporelles des années 1920 jusqu’à l’époque contemporaine. En s’appuyant sur un corpus d’archives personnelles de médecins, d’institutions de soins et de centres de recherche en psychiatrie, ainsi que sur une enquête qualitative réalisée auprès de psychiatres en Californie, ce livre démontre que la catégorie de race irrigue encore et toujours les pratiques et les discours institutionnels, aussi bien dans les représentations que les médecins véhiculent des corps soignés, que dans les stratégies de naturalisation du social employées pour prendre en charge leurs patients.

One cannot fail to be impressed by the number of works of fiction relating to slavery and the slave trade, writing back to the original slave narratives of the 18th and 19th centuries. If the African-American authors of the 1960s and 1970s are now well-known, they find an echo in works written more recently in the 1980s and 1990s by American, African, African-American and Caribbean writers. About twenty writers come under the scrutiny of renowned scholars, offering perspectives into what makes it so necessary today for writers, critics and readers alike to revisit, reassess and reappropriate the canonical texts of slavery and post-slavery literature. The specificity of this collection is to focus on neo-slave novels while bringing together African-American and Caribbean authors. On ne peut qu’être impressionné par le nombre d’œuvres littéraires de fiction qui se rapportent à l’esclavage et au commerce des esclaves, répondant ainsi aux premiers récits d’esclaves publiés aux XVIIIe et XIXe siècles. Si les auteurs africains-américains des années soixante et soixante-dix sont maintenant bien connus, toute une nouvelle vague d’écrivains Américains, Africains, Africains-Américains et Caribbéens, poursuivent et renouvèlent, depuis les années quatre-vingt et quatre vingt-dix, cette tradition. Rassemblés autour de l’œuvre d’une vingtaine d’écrivains, des universitaires de renom ouvrent, dans ce recueil, des perspectives nouvelles pour comprendre la nécessité qui poussent écrivains, critiques et lecteurs à relire, réécrire et revisiter cette littérature de l’esclavage encore aujourd’hui.

Migrations, diasporas, communautés : autant de notions, autant de concepts – pour le moins ambigus – qui concernent les populations noires des Amériques et s’inscrivent au cœur des grands débats actuels. Comment en effet envisager la notion de « diaspora » lorsque l’on est confronté à un tissu complexe de cultures diverses ? Comment parler de « communauté » lorsque des peuples ne semblent se conformer à aucun modèle stable d’identité, pas même à celui réputé dynamique de l’« hybridité » ? Utilisant les incertitudes de la notion de « diaspora », les ambiguïtés de son usage, Christine Chivallon s’appuie sur les faiblesses du concept pour proposer une approche inédite de la complexité des cultures noires américaines et tenter de cerner dans leur pluralité les lignes de force en jeu. Centré sur des exemples puisés dans la Caraïbe, l’ouvrage opère un va-et-vient entre théories et expériences sociales. Il envisage l’histoire de la transportation aux Amériques, la matrice des sociétés de plantations, les résistances culturelles des esclaves et de leurs descendants, les situations migratoires récentes depuis les Amériques, les diverses élaborations culturelles… C’est, semble-t-il, grâce à un questionnement frontal de la diversité, que des éléments d’interprétation de ce vaste ensemble culturel peuvent être apportés. L’auteur propose une conception où la juxtaposition et l’association de registres culturels contradictoires forment un agencement qui est à mettre en rapport avec une approche du monde noir comme forme résistante à toute culture érigée en système. Aucune thèse, qu’elle défende une « africanité » ou au contraire une « hybridité » des peuples, ne saurait être retenue si elle envisage un seul modèle d’identité et ignore cette composition particulière issue du rapport historique à la violence esclavagiste. À l’heure où les cultures fondées sur l’esclavage et où la notion de « diaspora » font l’objet d’une attention particulière au sein de la communauté…

From the silent era through the 1950s, the U.S. Department of Agriculture was the preeminent government filmmaking organization. In the United States, USDA films were shown in movie theaters, public and private schools at all educational levels, churches, libraries and even in open fields. For many Americans in the early 1900s, the USDA films were the first motion pictures they watched. And yet USDA documentaries have received little serious scholarly attention. The lack of serious study is especially concerning since the films chronicle over half a century of American farm life and agricultur

With a Foreword by Vijay Prashad and an Afterword by Gary Okihiro How might we understand yellowface performances by African Americans in 1930's swing adaptations of Gilbert and Sullivan's The Mikado, Paul Robeson's support of Asian and Asian American struggles, or the absorption of hip hop by Asian American youth culture? AfroAsian Encounters is the first anthology to look at the mutual influence of and relationships between members of the African and Asian diasporas. While these two groups have often been thought of as occupying incommensurate, if not opposing, cultural

"In Black Disability Politics Sami Schalk explores how issues of disability, broadly construed, have been and continue to be incorporated into Black activism, from the 1970s to the present. In so doing, she establishes a new lineage for disability politics, one that allows the work of contemporary Black disability justice activists to be central. Aiming to speak to both academic and activist audiences, Black Disability Politics identifies common qualities of Black disability politics and provides praxis-based approaches for enacting these politics in contemporary social justice work. Using the archives of the Black Panther Party and the National Black Women's Health Project alongside interviews with contemporary Black disabled cultural workers, Schalk argues that the work of Black disability politics not only exist, but are essential to the future of Black liberation movements."--
