Comment des êtres sensés peuvent-ils croire en des choses qui n'existent pas ? En rapprochant la "fabrique de la race" ("racecraft") de la sorcellerie ("witchcraft"), les soeurs Fields montrent l'impasse où s'enferment la plupart des approches de la race, y compris celles qui la considèrent comme une "construction sociale" . Les Américains ne croient plus à la sorcellerie, mais ils croient encore à la race et ne cessent de recréer les conditions concrètes qui la rendent évidente et impossible à contester.Pilier de la littérature consacrée à ce sujet aux Etats-Unis, cet ouvrage est une leçon de méthode pour aborder une question toujours complexe.

Dans ce récit au long cours, Ibram X. Kendi, penseur incontournable de l’antiracisme, nous confronte au passé sombre et douloureux des États-Unis, étroitement lié à celui de l’Europe coloniale. Loin de l’American dream triomphant, défilent sous nos yeux cinq cents ans d’une autre histoire américaine, celle des Noirs, celle des dominés condamnés à subir les inégalités raciales qui n’ont cessé de perdurer à travers les siècles. Le racisme n’a pas simplement prospéré grâce à l’ignorance et la haine. Il résulte d’un long et complexe processus historique qui a vu s’opposer les idéologies assimilationniste, ségrégationniste et antiraciste. Dans un contexte social à vif, marqué par les violences policières, les inégalités et le déploiement du mouvement militant Black Lives Matter, l’ouvrage d’Ibram X. Kendi décrypte les enjeux raciaux actuels et nous permet de prendre du recul sur l’un des problèmes socio-culturels les plus difficiles à résoudre.

Beyond Black is Ellis Cashmore's compelling appraisal of the impact of black celebrities on the cultural landscape of contemporary America. In recent years a new variety of African American celebrity has emerged: acquisitive, ambitious, flamboyantly successful and individualistic - more interested in channelling their energy into career development than into the political struggles that animated some of their predecessors. Bill Cosby and Oprah Winfrey were early examples; current A-listers include Beyoncé and Tiger Woods. The most valuable product these celebrities sell, according to Cashmore,

In 'Shades of Freedom', A. Leon Higginbotham provides a magisterial account of the interaction between the law and racial oppression in America from colonial times to the present. The issue of racial inferiority is central to this volume, as Higginbotham documents how early white perceptions of black inferiority slowly became codified into law.

En 1956, Howard Zinn s’installe à Atlanta afin d’enseigner au département d’histoire du Spelman College, un établissement d’enseignement supérieur uniquement fréquenté par des femmes noires. Arrivant de Boston, il découvre un Sud profond secoué par le mouvement des droits civiques, dans lequel le militantisme étudiant joue un rôle important. Intellectuel capable de penser l’histoire sans renoncer à la faire, Howard Zinn s’engage sans hésiter dans les luttes que mènent les Afro-Américains. Et le paie cher : en 1963, on le licencie de Spelman en raison de ses positions contre la ségrégation. Combattre le racisme raconte ces années de résistance tout en les replaçant dans la longue histoire des luttes contre l’esclavage et le racisme aux États-Unis. Dans une prose claire, sensible et vivante, Zinn nous livre ses réflexions sur les abolitionnistes, la marche de Selma à Montgomery, John F. Kennedy, les piquets de grève et, pour finir, son message aux étudiants de l’université de New York au sujet de la question de la race, dans un discours qu’il a prononcé́ à la veille de sa mort. Il exprime la conviction inébranlable que les gens ont le pouvoir de changer les choses s’ils suivent ensemble la tradition américaine de la désobéissance civile.

Dans l'histoire 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.
