Le phénomène imprévisible et non maîtrisable du métissage à la fois fascine et inquiète. Mais peut-on logiquement penser cette donne désormais incontournable, et avec l'aide de quelle instrumentation intellectuelle ? Préfacées par Jean-Luc Bonniol, ces Variations métisses tentent une approche originale de cette interrogation en convoquant dix intellectuels francophones de ce dernier siècle, choisis tant en fonction de la variété des courants de pensées qui les habitent que de la diversité de leur discipline : Victor Segalen, Claude Lévi-Strauss, Roger Bastide, Gilles Deleuze avec Félix Guattari, Georges Balandier, Paul Ricoeur, René Depestre, Serge Gruzinski, Jean-Loup Amselle et François Laplantine avec Alexis Nouss. S'attachant aux développements de ces auteurs, l'étude met en évidence que chacun d'entre eux privilégie une métaphore, outil par excellence d'une connaissance suggestive et non figée du penser métis : celle du Divers, du bricolage, de la mosaïque, du rhizome, du désordre, de la narration, de l'ajout, du mélange, du branchement, de l'oscillation. Des figures diversifiées qui permettent à chaque fois d'appréhender d'autres modalités et logiques à l'oeuvre dans les différentes manières de percevoir et d'interpréter ce processus irrésistible de métissage nous obligeant aujourd'hui, face aux mutations contemporaines, à repenser nos anciennes perspectives, valeurs et catégories anthropologiques. Et sans pour autant prétendre cerner et définir cette notion si mouvante et complexe qui, toujours, se dérobe.

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.Nancy Appelbaum"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."

This critical engagement with some of the most prominent contemporary theorists of postcolonial studies reevaluates recent theories of hybridity and agency. Challenging the claim that hybridity provides a site of resistance to hegemonic and homogenizing forces in an increasingly globalized world, Anjali Prabhu pursues the ways in which hybridity plays out in the Creole, postcolonial societies of Mauritius and La Réunion, two small islands in the Indian Ocean, and offers an introduction to the literature and culture of this lesser-known region of Francophonie. She also reconsiders two major theorists from the Francophone context, Edouard Glissant and Frantz Fanon, through a provocatively Marxian framing that reveals these two writers shared more in common about agency and society than has previously been recognized.

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.
