Recenzii
"Black France / France Noire is the most recent and best record of an ongoing and important international scholarly conversation on issues of color, race, ethnicity, exclusion, and belonging. With essays by both French and American scholars, the collection addresses some deeply challenging questions about how prejudice manifests itself in French life. Some of the French contributors are hesitant to employ ethnic categories, as is the case in the United States, as ways to speak of identity, justice, and injustice in French society. But most of them realize that to eliminate color prejudice in France they must talk about color. This collection is essential reading for scholars who study France, Europe, and the politics of racial discourse more broadly." Herman Lebovics, author of Imperialism and the Corruption of DemocraciesBlack France / France Noire is the most comprehensive and urgent anthology regarding the questions of citizenship and belonging in France since Pierre Bourdieus The Weight of the World. Theres also a salutary combination of scholarly and personal narratives in this book, which elevates it to the stature of a groundbreaking manifesto, the controversial nature of which will be discussed for years to come. Manthia Diawara, author of African Film: New Forms of Aesthetics and Politics"Black skin may be officially invisible to France's government bureaucrats, statistics-gatherers, and devotees of French republicanism, but as a lived experience, blackness in France is very real. People of color routinely endure discrimination and find it difficult to gain full acceptance as French. Race matters in France, and the more that people talk and write about it, the more salient a social and political phenomenon race and racism in 'colorblind' France becomes. Black France / France Noire makes a major contribution by directly addressing experiences of blackness and anti-blackness in France." Edward Berenson, author of Heroes of Empire: Five Charismatic Men and the Conquest of Africa"In Black France / France Noire, leading thinkers and intellectuals raise challenging questions about how France's history of slavery and colonization, and immigration from its former colonies, are shaping the important, increasingly public discourse about blackness and racism." Valérie K. Orlando, author of Francophone Voices of the "New" Morocco in Film and Print: (Re)presenting a Society in Transition"Trica Danielle Keaton, T. Denean Sharpley-Whiting, and Tyler Stovall have assembled the most comprehensive and urgent anthology regarding the questions of citizenship and belonging in France since Pierre Bourdieu's The Weight of the World. There's also a salutary combination of scholarly and personal narratives in this book which elevates it to the stature of a groundbreaking manifesto, the controversial nature of which will be discussed for years to come."
