Race in Translation – Culture Wars around the Postcolonial Atlantic

Autor Ella Shohat, Robert Stam
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 mai 2012
While the term “culture wars” often designates the heated arguments in the English-speaking world spiralling around race, the canon, and affirmative action, in fact these discussions have raged in multiple sites and languages. Charting the multidirectional traffic of the debates, Stam/Shohat trace their literal and figurative translation, seen in French Postcolonial Studies and Brazilian Whiteness Studies, and in such cultural phenomena as Tropicalia and Hip-Hop. The authors also interrogate an ironic convergence whereby rightist politicians join hands with leftist intellectuals, along with the Neo-Cons and Nouveaux Philosophes, in condemning the “spectre” of multiculturalism and identity politics. At once a report from various “fronts,” a mapping of the germane literatures, and an argument about cross-border comparison and interlocution, the book constitutes a major contribution to our understanding of the diasporic and transnational movement of ideas.

Recenzii

“A deeply researched, provocative, and up-to-date synthesis of the ways in which race has been conceptualized in Brazil, the United States and France. Arguing that ‘All nations are transnations,’ the authors track the circulation of ideas across the ‘Red,’ ‘Black’ and ‘White’ Atlantic.” Françoise Vergès, Goldsmiths College, London “A masterpiece, an extraordinarily brilliant book rich with erudition and insight. The imaginative and in-depth analyses of intercultural conflicts and coalescences offer original and generative answers to the most important questions haunting contemporary scholarship and civic life.” George Lipsitz, author of How Racism Takes Place
