Abstract

Sir Richard Burton (1821-1890) the famous Victorian explorer, began his career in the Indian army in 1842. While in India he developed his linguistic talent, mastering more than forty different languages and dialects. He turned to writing books in the 1850s and, over the remaining forty years of his life, published dozens of works and more than one hundred articles. He spent part of his career as British consul in Fernando Po (present-day Equatorial Guinea) in West Africa, and used this as an opportunity to explore the region. In 1861, he was sent on a mission, recounted in this two-volume work of 1864, to Dahomey (present-day Benin) to urge the king to put a stop to the local slave trade. In Volume 2 Burton discusses the human sacrifices that were taking place while he was there, and the negotiations with the king about slavery.

Abstract

En 1954, Cheikh Anta Diop, au terme d'un long et fructueux travail de recherche, opère, avec Nations nègres et Culture, un tournant décisif dans l'historiographie africaine et mondiale : l'Egypte pharaonique, contrée africaine de la Vallée du Nil, appartient, en totalité, des balbutiements prédynastiques jusqu'à la fin des dynasties indigènes, à l'ensemble de l'univers négro-africain. En 1967, c'est-à-dire treize ans après, le savant africain reprend ses idées essentielles sur les origines de l'humanité actuelle et sur la parenté entre l'Egypte ancienne et l'Afrique noire profonde : l'Antériorité des civilisations nègres était ainsi établie. En 1981, son œuvre culmine avec Civilisation ou Barbarie, synthèse et prolongement de sa réflexion historique face au devenir de l'humanité. La réédition, en 1992, d'Antériorité... remet en circulation un ouvrage majeur de la problématique historique africaine. Ouvrage longtemps épuisé, mais constamment demandé, recherché. La leçon est celle-ci. L'égyptologie, pour prendre toute signification en tant que science historique vivante, doit nécessairement renouer avec les civilisations négro-africaines, par-delà le formalisme froid de l'exégèse des textes. Cette leçon inaugurale de Cheikh Anta Diop est devenue d'ores et déjà le bréviaire de l'égyptologie africaine et afro-américaine. Que l'égyptologie occidentale entende enfin, à son tour, la leçon de Cheikh Anta Diop pour le renouvellement des études égypto-nubiennes.

Abstract

"Who Is the Asianist? reconsiders the past, present, and future of Asian Studies through the lens of positionality, questions of authority, and an analysis of race with an emphasis on Blackness in Asia. From self-reflective essays on being a Black Asianist to the Black Lives Matter movement in Papua New Guinea, Japan, and Viet Nam, scholars grapple with the global significance of race and local articulations of difference. Other contributors call for a racial analysis of the figure of the Muslim as well as a greater transregional comparison of slavery and intra-Asian dynamics that can be better understood, for instance, from a Black feminist perspective or through the work of James Baldwin. As a whole, this diversified set of essays insists that the possibilities of change within Asian Studies occurs when, and only when, it reckons with the entirety of the scholars, geographies, and histories that it comprises"--

Abstract

"Taken as a trilogy, consent not to be a single being is a monumental accomplishment: a brilliant theoretical intervention that might be best described as a powerful case for blackness as a category of analysis."—Brent Hayes Edwards, author of Epistrophies: Jazz and the Literary ImaginationIn Stolen Life—the second volume in his landmark trilogy consent not to be a single being—Fred Moten undertakes an expansive exploration of blackness as it relates to black life and the collective refusal of social death. The essays resist categorization, moving from Moten's opening meditation on Kant, Olaudah Equiano, and the conditions of black thought through discussions of academic freedom, writing and pedagogy, non-neurotypicality, and uncritical notions of freedom. Moten also models black study as a form of social life through an engagement with Fanon, Hartman, and Spillers and plumbs the distinction between blackness and black people in readings of Du Bois and Nahum Chandler. The force and creativity of Moten's criticism resonate throughout, reminding us not only of his importance as a thinker, but of the continued necessity of interrogating blackness as a form of sociality.

Abstract

In The Universal Machine -- the concluding volume to his landmark trilogy Consent Not To Be A Single Being -- Fred Moten presents a suite of three essays on Emmanuel Levinas, Hannah Arendt, and Frantz Fanon, in which he explores questions of freedom, capture, and selfhood. In trademark style, Moten considers these thinkers alongside artists and musicians such as William Kentridge and Curtis Mayfield while interrogating the relation between blackness and phenomenology.
