Abstract

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.

Abstract

By subverting comedy's rules and expectations, African American satire promotes social justice by connecting laughter with ethical beliefs in a revolutionary way. Danielle Fuentes Morgan ventures from Suzan-Lori Parks to Leslie Jones and Dave Chappelle to Get Out and Atlanta to examine the satirical treatment of race and racialization across today's African American culture.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

"Sankofa: African American Perspectives on Race and Culture in US Doctoral Education reexamines doctoral education through the lens of African American and black experiences. Drawing on the African Diasporic legacy of Sankofa and the notion that "it is not wrong to go back for that which you have forgotten," the editors and authors "go back" to address legacies of exclusion in higher education, and take care to center and honor the contributions of historically marginalized doctoral students past, present, and future. Whereas earlier studies focused largely on socialization, departmental norms, and statistical portraits of doctoral degree attachment, Sankofa illuminates the ways African American students encounter, navigate, and make sense of their doctoral experiences and especially the impact of race and culture on those experiences. Individual chapters look at STEM programs, the intersections of race and gender, the role of HBCUs, and students' relationships with faculty and advisors. Amid growing diversity across programs and institutions, Sankofa provides a critical model for applying culturally based frameworks in educational research, as well as practical strategies for better understanding and responding to the needs of students of color in predominantly white contexts"--

Abstract

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.

Abstract

In 1936 Orson Welles directed a celebrated all-black production of Macbeth that was hailed as a breakthrough for African Americans in the theater. For over a century, black performers had fought for the right to perform on the American stage, going all the way back to an 1820s Shakespearean troupe that performed Richard III, Othello, and Macbeth, without relying on white patronage. "Macbeth" in Harlem tells the story of these actors and their fellow black theatrical artists, from the early nineteenth century to the dawn of the civil rights era. For the first time we see how African American performers fought to carve out a space for authentic black voices onstage, at a time when blockbuster plays like Uncle Tom’s Cabin and The Octoroon trafficked in cheap stereotypes. Though the Harlem Renaissance brought an influx of talented black writers and directors to the forefront of the American stage, they still struggled to gain recognition from an indifferent critical press. Above all, "Macbeth" in Harlem is a testament to black artistry thriving in the face of adversity. It chronicles how even as the endemic racism in American society and its theatrical establishment forced black performers to abase themselves for white audiences’ amusement, African Americans overcame those obstacles to enrich the nation’s theater in countless ways.
