Abstract

Une démonstration implacable des ravages causés par la domination d'un Occident raciste. La domination d'un Occident raciste, à l'intérieur de ses frontières et au-delà, n'a pu que renforcer les préjugés à l'encontre des personnes définies comme Noires. Il est illusoire de se dire Blanc par simple convention, sans le moindre rapport avec l'histoire qui créa cette catégorie de blanchité. Léonora Miano se livre à une analyse aussi fine qu'implacable de ce "problème blanc" , depuis les traites négrières et la colonisation jusqu'au présent. Car, sans prise de conscience de ce qu'est la blanchité, il est impossible de transformer ce qui s'est transmis de génération en génération, à la fois comme un patrimoine et un secret de famille, certes gênants mais qu'il nous faut regarder en face. Il se passera du temps pour vider la race de toute signification et guérir le monde. Cela ne signifie pas qu'il faille baisser les bras. C'est en ayant conscience de l'ampleur de la tâche que l'on pourra s'y atteler. Née à Douala (Cameroun) en 1973, Léonora Miano est une grande voix de la littérature en langue française. Romancière, dramaturge et essayiste, elle est l'auteure d'une vingtaine d'ouvrages. "Un essai radical qui poursuit sa réflexion aiguë sur l'esclavage, la colonisation et le racisme". L'Humanité "L'autrice ne fait pas de procès mais redéfinit le monde". Ouest France "L'opposé de la blancheur dont il est question dans le nouvel essai de Léonora Miano est une noirceur qui ne dit pas son nom, une chose si laide qu'elle a inventé un système de discrimination et de domination particulier". Le Monde "Une oeuvre riche, dense, où les lignes directrices sont l'histoire, la mémoire, le colonialisme, et ce que c'est que d'être une femme, une femme noire". Mediapart

Abstract

This book examines the conundrum that has haunted the Black and White ancestry for ages on what supremacy actually means. Is it Black or White supremacy? Granted, the term White supremacy has occupied the sociopolitical, cultural and economic discourse for ages, but what does that really imply? This book debates that concept.

Abstract

Focusing on the creation of the concept of whiteness, this study links early photographic imagery to the development and exploitation that was common in the colonial Atlantic World of the mid- to late-nineteenth century. With the advent of the daguerreotype in the mid-nineteenth century, White European settlers could imagine themselves as a supra-national community, where the attainment of wealth was rapidly becoming accessible through colonisation. Their dispersal throughout the colonial territories made possible the advent of a new representative type of Whiteness that eventually merged with the portrayal of modernity itself. Over time, the colonisation of the Atlantic World became synonymous with fascination itself within a European mind fixated upon both a racially subordinated world and the technical media through which it was represented. In the intervening centuries, images have acted as a medium of the imaginary, allowing for ideas around classification and the measurement of value to travel and to situate themselves as universal means. Contemporary societies still grapple with the residues of race, gender, class, and sexuality first established by the contrived mores of this representational medium, and those who were racialised by the camera as objects of fascination, curiosity, or concern have remained so well into the post-digital era. The book will be of interest to scholars working in history of photography, art history, colonialism, and critical race theory.

Abstract

In 'Race and the American Story', Stephanie Shonekan and Adam Seagrave provide a unique window into race relations in contemporary America. Shonekan, a Black woman who grew up in Nigeria and Trinidad before emigrating to the US and Seagrave, a white man who grew up in California's Napa Valley, have entwined their life histories to shed light on how Americans experience race. This book explores the authors' insights into the personal and social effects of racism and contains both an open acknowledgment of the realities of racism and a hopeful approach to confronting it. This book provides a historically sensitive, culturally informed, and refreshingly novel treatment of race in the US. Combining the power of storytelling with the authors' expertise as scholars of politics and culture, this book shows how two very different personal stories relate to the American story.

Abstract

In Critique of Black Reason eminent critic Achille Mbembe offers a capacious genealogy of the category of Blackness-from the Atlantic slave trade to the present-to critically reevaluate history, racism, and the future of humanity. Mbembe teases out the intellectual consequences of the reality that Europe is no longer the world's center of gravity while mapping the relations among colonialism, slavery, and contemporary financial and extractive capital. Tracing the conjunction of Blackness with the biological fiction of race, he theorizes Black reason as the collection of discourses and practices that equated Blackness with the nonhuman in order to uphold forms of oppression. Mbembe powerfully argues that this equation of Blackness with the nonhuman will serve as the template for all new forms of exclusion. With Critique of Black Reason, Mbembe offers nothing less than a map of the world as it has been constituted through colonialism and racial thinking while providing the first glimpses of a more just future.
