Angloscene – Compromised Personhood in Afro–Chinese Translations

"Reflecting a critical sensibility from the Global South, Jay Ke-Schutte's book defies Euro-American-centric perspectives on language, race, and colonialism. The innovative concept of the Angloscene offers an imaginative way to unpack the transnational power matrix that conditions Afro-Chinese encounters."--Fan Yang, author of Faked in China: Nation Branding, Counterfeit Culture, and Globalization

"This book reveals the manner in which talk about signs of race and the racialization of those engaged in talk readily emerge hand in hand within social encounters, so that to isolate them from each other is to lose sight of the processes through which inequity persists in social life even when it is abjured."--Asif Agha, Francis E. Johnston Term Professor of Anthropology, University of Pennsylvania, and Editor-in-Chief, Signs and Society
