Recenzii
At once a visionary reconceptualization of racialized expressive praxis, a spellbinding ethnographic account of transnational Black life, and a profound invitation to perceive newfound possibilities for relationality, Telling Blackness is a pathbreaking intellectual, affective, and political achievement. The raciosemiotic approach that Krystal Smalls develops throughout the book is an indispensable theoretical and methodological contribution to linguistic anthropology and Black Studies, as well as a moving enactment of the transformative capacities of diasporic storytelling that she honors through her work.
Mixing sophisticated theoretical interventions (into diaspora studies, racial analysis, black feminism, and linguistics) with scrupulous ethnographic attention to the supple humanity of her young Liberian interlocutors, Smalls uses Telling Blackness to narrate a powerful and under-appreciated social scientific story about how Africana subjects live, relate, and communicate in ways that outstrip attempts to denigrate and demonize them. An insightful work full of anthropological and semiotic insights on every single page, Telling Blackness helps to recalibrate conventional assumptions about racialization in the 21st century.
Telling Blackness is a brilliant transnational account of Liberian youth as they navigate the politics of history, race, and language through migration. In vibrant and lyrical language Krystal Smalls presents us an ethnographic study of Black immigrants in the U.S. that provides a corrective to the sociological studies of racial identification to empathetically expose how racializing structural processes shape immigrant "Black life in an antiBlack world." The analysis in Telling Blackness takes seriously the global status of Blackness as it draws meaning across space and time, oceans and land, and processes and discourses. This is a transformative text that makes key contributions to anthropology and African diaspora studies.
