Ces seize textes étudient les conditions d'unions interculturelles, dans les sociétés coloniales, qui ont provoqué l'apparition de nouvelles générations métisses, ainsi qu'un phénomène de créolisation. Ils examinent le contexte et les circonstances dans lesquels ces populations se sont mélangées et la position des métis dans les nouvelles sociétés, du Canada à la Bolivie, de l'Algérie à l'Angola. ©Electre 2015

"En Blancura y otras ficciones, la doctora López Rodríguez se enfoca en un tema que recientemente ha sido más tratado por antropólogos e historiadores que por críticos literarios: la emergencia, en el siglo XIX, de ‘tipos’ racializados republicanos y de identidades regionales racializadas en Colombia. Lo hace abordando, con inédita precisión, la cuestión de cómo los intelectuales colombianos del período entendieron la ‘blancura’. Más específicamente, examina cómo los habitantes de los Andes nororientales fueron ‘blanqueados’ retóricamente tanto en la escritura de ficción como en las artes visuales, trabajando con textos publicados, canónicos y no canónicos, así como con ilustraciones, complementadas con algunos documentos de archivo. Un proyecto interdisciplinario que aporta sensibilidad y penetración a una gama de materiales y temas que cruzan los habituales límites disciplinarios." "Este libro desestabiliza nuestro entendimiento del mestizaje en el siglo XIX, tema sobre el cual hemos impuesto un modelo que realmente viene del siglo XX sin examinar los textos y documentos decimonónicos. Mercedes López sustenta claramente un argumento centrado en la importancia de la blancura para esta región, un análisis más matizado de lo que significaban esas categorías para un público escritor decimonónico."

Barack Obama’s historic presidency has re-inserted mixed race into the national conversation. While the troubled and pejorative history of racial amalgamation throughout U.S. history is a familiar story, The United States of the United Races reconsiders an understudied optimist tradition, one which has praised mixture as a means to create a new people, bring equality to all, and fulfill an American destiny. In this genealogy, Greg Carter re-envisions racial mixture as a vehicle for pride and a way for citizens to examine mixed America as a better America.Tracing the centuries-long conversation that began with Hector St. John de Crevecoeur’s Letters of an American Farmer in the 1780s through to the Mulitracial Movement of the 1990s and the debates surrounding racial categories on the U.S. Census in the twenty-first century, Greg Carter explores a broad range of documents and moments, unearthing a new narrative that locates hope in racial mixture. Carter traces the reception of the concept as it has evolved over the years, from and decade to decade and century to century, wherein even minor changes in individual attitudes have paved the way for major changes in public response. The United States of the United Races sweeps away an ugly element of U.S. history, replacing it with a new understanding of race in America.

This book explores the overlooked history of racial mixing in Britain during the course of the twentieth century, a period in which there was considerable and influential public debate on the meanings and implications of intimately crossing racial boundaries. Based on research that formed the foundations of the British television series Mixed Britannia, the authors draw on a range of firsthand accounts and archival material to compare ‘official’ accounts of racial mixing and mixedness with those told by mixed race people, couples and families themselves. Mixed Race Britain in The Twentieth Century shows that alongside the more familiarly recognised experiences of social bigotry and racial prejudice there can also be glimpsed constant threads of tolerance, acceptance, inclusion and ‘ordinariness’. It presents a more complex and multifaceted history of mixed race Britain than is typically assumed, one that adds to the growing picture of the longstanding diversity and difference that is, and always has been, an ordinary and everyday feature of British life. .

Okinawan life, at the crossroads of American militarism and Japanese capitalism, embodies a fundamental contradiction to the myth of the monoethnic state. Suspended in a state of exception, Okinawans have never been officially classified as colonial subjects of the Japanese empire or the United States, nor have they ever been treated as equal citizens of Japan. As a result, they live amid one of the densest concentrations of U.S. military bases in the world. By bringing Foucauldian biopolitics into conversation with Japanese Marxian theorizations of capitalism, Alegal uncovers Japan’s determination to protect its middle class from the racialized sexual contact around its mainland bases by displacing them onto Okinawa, while simultaneously upholding Okinawa as a symbol of the infringement of Japanese sovereignty figured in terms of a patriarchal monoethnic state. This symbolism, however, has provoked ambivalence within Okinawa. In base towns that facilitated encounters between G.I.s and Okinawan women, the racial politics of the United States collided with the postcolonial politics of the Asia Pacific. Through close readings of poetry, reportage, film, and memoir on base-town life since 1945, Shimabuku traces a continuing failure to “become Japanese.” What she discerns instead is a complex politics surrounding sex work, tipping with volatility along the razor’s edge between insurgency and collaboration. At stake in sovereign power’s attempt to secure Okinawa as a military fortress was the need to contain alegality itself—that is, a life force irreducible to the legal order. If biopolitics is the state’s attempt to monopolize life, then Alegal is a story about how borderland actors reclaimed the power of life for themselves. In addition to scholars of Japan and Okinawa, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in postcolonialism, militarism, mixed-race studies, gender and sexuality, or the production of sovereignty in the modern world.
