« Nous avons longtemps pensé qu’après avoir été très européanisés, avec la négritude on voulait nous africaniser, et que nous n’arriverions jamais à être ce que nous sommes vraiment ». Relisant Aimé Césaire et « l’immense cri nègre », Greg Germain, Président du Festival Off d’Avignon, invite à réenchanter les cultures de la francophonie par l’imaginaire des langues et la créolisation des mondes.

Ce livre prolonge et approfondit les Collectifs Un autre Senghor (1999) et Sony Labou Tansi, le sens du désordre (2001) publiés dans la même collection de l'Axe francophone et méditerranéen du Centre d'étude du XXe siècle. Réunir des écrivains africains et antillais dans un même livre, c'est prendre au sérieux ce que Patrick Chamoiseau a souvent affirmé: il y a, entre eux, à la fois d'incontestables filiations en même temps que des problématiques culturelles et des poétiques très différentes. Le thème de l'écriture et du sacré permet de bien comprendre ces ressemblances et ces variations. Un premier contraste, classique, oppose Senghor à Césaire, le poète nostalgique du mythe et de l'épopée à celui des arrachements et des ruptures qui déchiffre le Sacré dans le cœur noir de la langue, dans les syncopes et les abruptions du rythme. Édouard Glissant et Patrick Chamoiseau, quant à eux, s'ils ne renient pas l'héritage de la négritude, leur part africaine, comme ils disent, font face à un danger plus contemporain et, au fond, plus difficile à combattre : celui d'un tarissement possible de la « diversalité » du monde, d'un désenchantement (qui œuvre au cœur même du symbolique et de la langue). L'écrivain retrouve alors une vocation fondamentalement romantique, dans une attention constante à la poïesis du monde et des mots: expérience d'un Sacré que l'œuvre, sans cesse, réinvente, en une nouvelle alchimie rimbaldienne du Verbe.

A complex articulation of the ways blackness and nonnormative gender intersect—and a deeper understanding of how subjectivities are formed. A deep meditation on and expansion of the figure of the Negro and insurrectionary effects of the “X” as theorized by Nahum Chandler, The Problem of the Negro as a Problem for Gender thinks through the problematizing effects of blackness as, too, a problematizing of gender. Through the paraontological, the between, and the figure of the “X” (with its explicit contemporary link to nonbinary and trans genders) Marquis Bey presents a meditation on black feminism and gender nonnormativity. Chandler’s text serves as both an argumentative tool for rendering the “radical alternative” in and as blackness as well as demonstrating the necessarily trans/gendered valences of that radical alternative. Forerunners is a thought-in-process series of breakthrough digital works. Written between fresh ideas and finished books, Forerunners draws on scholarly work initiated in notable blogs, social media, conference plenaries, journal articles, and the synergy of academic exchange. This is gray literature publishing: where intense thinking, change, and speculation take place in scholarship.

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 examines how cultural and ideological reactions to activism in the post-Civil Rights Black community were depicted in fiction written by Black women writers, 1965-1980. By recognizing and often challenging prevailing cultural paradigms within the post-Civil Rights era, writers such as Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, Toni Cade Bambara, and Paule Marshall fictionalized the black community in critical ways that called for further examination of progressive activism after the much publicized 'end' of the Civil Rights Movement. Through their writings, the authors' confronted marked shifts

Comme il y a un secret de Monte-Cristo, il y a un secret d’Alexandre Dumas. Ce secret concerne l’identité de l’écrivain, et non plus les motifs qui ont dicté le choix du nom porté par le héros. Chacun de ses écrits, de façon éminemment cryptée, remonte à une origine « nègre » rebelle - sa grand’mère était esclave -, mais fait appel aussi à une origine « blanche » conforme - son grand-père était un hobereau normand parti chercher fortune aux Îles dans le sucre et la traite -, qu’il a décidé toutes deux de revendiquer. Le présent ouvrage explore les méandres suivis à travers l’œuvre dans ce difficile jeu de bascule et met au jour ce qu’il en est de la véritable négritude d’âme et de peau assumée par Dumas. Il montre quels curieux substituts certains animaux totémiques offrent au fervent chasseur que celui-ci affiche être. Il découvre aussi par quelle « cuisine » la bête élue doit être apprêtée pour convenir au destin - au festin - symbolique qui est, de toute nécessité, le sien. Ce n’est donc pas pour rien que l’écrivain clot son œuvre par un Dictionnaire de Cuisine. Une page est un plat, et la viande esprit, si l’encre est farine.

In Ontological Terror Calvin L. Warren intervenes in Afro-pessimism, Heideggerian metaphysics, and black humanist philosophy by positing that the "Negro question" is intimately imbricated with questions of Being. Warren uses the figure of the antebellum free black as a philosophical paradigm for thinking through the tensions between blackness and Being. He illustrates how blacks embody a metaphysical nothing. This nothingness serves as a destabilizing presence and force as well as that which whiteness defines itself against. Thus, the function of blackness as giving form to nothing presents a terrifying problem for whites: they need blacks to affirm their existence, even as they despise the nothingness they represent. By pointing out how all humanism is based on investing blackness with nonbeing - a logic which reproduces antiblack violence and precludes any realization of equality, justice, and recognition for blacks - Warren urges the removal of the human from its metaphysical pedestal and the exploration of ways of existing that are not predicated on a grounding in being.

Racism, Culture, Markets explores the connections between cultural representations of `race' and their historical, institutional and global forms of expression and impact. John Gabriel examines the current fixation with market place philosophies in terms of the crisis in anti-racist politics and concern over questions of cultural identity. He explores issues such as the continuing relevance of terms like `black' as a basis for self definition; the need to think about identities in more fluid and complex ways, and the need to develop a much more explicit discussion of the construct

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.
