This book addresses the conceptual difficulties and political contestations surrounding the applicability of the term "African-Canadian." In the midst of this contested terrain, the volume focuses on first-generation, black continental Africans who have immigrated to Canada in the last four decades, and have traceable genealogical links to the continent. The rationale behind highlighting the experiences of the first generation of African immigrants within Canadian society is to address the empirical, conceptual, and methodological gaps in the literature that tends to homogenize all black people and their experiences. The book, thus, seeks to highlight the peculiar characteristics of continental Africans which may not be shared by other blacks or non-black Africans. The chapters examine the social constructions of African-Canadians and their experiences within the political and educational systems, as well as in the labour market. They also explore the forms of cooperation and tensions that characterize the communities, and how they negotiate and adapt to the multiple transnational spaces that they occupy. The book also explores the circumstances of their children, as they try to define their identities vis-à-vis their parents and the larger Canadian society.

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".

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.
