Abstract

In the speeches and articles collected in this book, the black activist, organizer, and freedom fighter Stokely Carmichael traces the dramatic changes in his own consciousness and that of black Americans that took place during the evolving movements of Civil Rights, Black Power, and Pan-Africanism. Unique in his belief that the destiny of African Americans could not be separated from that of oppressed people the world over, Carmichael's Black Power principles insisted that blacks resist white brainwashing and redefine themselves. He was concerned not only with racism and exploitation, but

Abstract

"Black Hair in a White World is a groundbreaking, serious study of the cultural history, perceptions, and increasing acceptance of Black hair in broader American society. Editor Tameka N. Ellington brings together a varied group of scholars who together make an important contribution to ongoing discussions about race, gender, sociology, and self-expression. The anthology's essays begins with a close analysis of historical and contemporary books, media, and ads, illustrating both positive and negative responses to Black hair. The second section features contributions from diverse scholars and activists who argue that natural Black hair has often been viewed as a problem that must be solved and criticized by those who find natural Black hair unacceptable, unprofessional, and unattractive. The final essays push back against this narrative and describe the emergence of the natural hair movement, which has advocated for increased mainstream acceptance of Black hair"--

Abstract

In this book, Ron Eyerman explores the formation of the African-American identity through the theory of cultural trauma. The trauma in question is slavery, not as an institution or as personal experience, but as collective memory: a pervasive remembrance that grounded a people's sense of itself. Combining a broad narrative sweep with more detailed studies of important events and individuals, Eyerman reaches from Emancipation through the Harlem Renaissance, the Depression, the New Deal and the Second World War to the Civil Rights movement and beyond. He offers insights into the intellectual and generational conflicts of identity-formation which have a truly universal significance, as well as providing a compelling account of the birth of African-American identity. Anyone interested in questions of assimilation, multiculturalism and postcolonialism will find this book indispensable.

Abstract

Dans l’histoire des pensées afrodescendantes, le pessimisme ne porte pas sur les Noirs, mais sur la capacité de la société blanche à dépasser sa négrophobie. Et si les idées et réformes que nous tenons pour progressistes n’étaient que des métamorphoses du racisme ? À l’ère de Black Lives Matter, la permanence de la déshumanisation et de la mise à mort des Noirs apparaît comme un socle de nos sociétés civiles. Ce livre s’oppose aux visions simplistes, lisses ou iréniques des pensées afrodescendantes actuelles, en particulier africaines-américaines. L’intersectionnalité n’est pas la seule manière de penser race, genre et classe d’un point de vue noir. Noirceur présente un ensemble de théories iconoclastes, de débats contemporains et de stratégies politiques pour repenser radicalement l’avenir des vies noires dans le monde.

Abstract

Should African Americans be defined as a race or as an ethnic (cultural) group? If the latter, what role does culture play in their lives and how can it be measured? This groundbreaking book argues that African Americans should be classed as a cultural group, and presents a unique scale for measuring the group's acculturation - the degree of assimilation into the dominant culture. The volume features empirical studies exploring the role of culture and acculturation in African-American behaviour, health and psychology.
