"In this accessible and yet challenging work, Shirley Anne Tate engages with race and gender intersectionality, connecting through to affect theory, to develop a Black decolonial feminist analysis of a global anti-Blackness. Through the focus on skin, Tate provides a ground work of historical context and theoretical framing to engage more contemporary examples of racist constructions of Blackness and Black bodies. Examining the history of intersectionality including its present 'post-intersectionality', the book continues intersectionality's racialized gender critique by developing a Black decolonial feminist approach to cultural readings of Black skin's consumption, racism within 'body beauty institutions' (eg. modelling, advertising, beauty pageants) and cultural representations, as well as the affects which keep anti-Blackness in play. This book is suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate students in Gender Studies, Sociology, and Media Studies"--

This book identifies and engages with an analysis of racism in the Caribbean region, providing an empirically-based theoretical reframing of both the racialization of the globe and the evaluation of the prospects for anti-racism and the post-racial. The 30 contemporary territories of the Caribbean and their differing colonial and post-colonial contexts provide a highly dynamic setting that urges a reassessment of the ways in which contemporary processes of racialization are working. Tate and Law seek to develop a new account of racialization in this region, challenging established arguments, propositions and narratives of racial Caribbeanization. With new insights into contemporary forms of racialization in Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic and Haiti, this will be essential reading for scholars of race and ethnicity. -- cover

AbstractBeauty is not race neutral. It is a racialized category/ perception which emerged through centuries of European colonization, Indigenous genocide, African/Black enslavement and indenture resulting in an aesthetic hierarchy with Blackness at the bottom. The coloniality of aesthetics means that still today hair perceived as Black in texture and styling and darker skin on African descent bodies are the repositories of anti‐Blackness. However, Black women, children and men continue to fight back by (re)creating Black antiracist aesthetics focused on valorizing Black skin and hair.

Die Theoretisierung von Hybridität in postcolonial studies schließt zumeist die Analyse von Alltagssituationen aus. Ausnahme bilden hier die Forschungsarbeiten zur kulturellen Produktion von MigrantInnen und zur Konsumkultur im Sinne des "den Anderen aufessen". Dieser Aufsatz geht von der Untersuchung von Hybridität als "im Alltag praktisch hergestellt" aus und untersucht dies am Beispiel einer diskursiven Interaktionsanalyse von Gesprächen über Identität zwischen schwarzen "mixed race" Frauen in Großbritannien. Die hier vorgestellte Analysemethode versteht sich als "Übersetzungsprozess", der als diskursive ethnomethodologische Analyse (eda) FOUCAULT und BAKHTIN miteinander verbindet, um die Verhandlungen und Artikulationen von Hybridität im Alltag schwarzer Frauen zu "ent-decken". Hybridität wird dabei als reflexive Bewegung des "Übersetzens" von Diskursen zu Identitätspositionen verstanden, die für die Gesprächsteilnehmerinnen Identifikationsmomente im Gespräch darstellen. FOUCAULTs Diskurskonzept und BAKHTINs Heteroglosia und "Adressivität" (addressivity) ermöglichen es, diese Bewegung in den Gesprächen mittels der ethnomethodologischen "Übersetzung" theoretisch zu fassen. Ausgehend von den theoretischen Konvergenzen und Divergenzen zwischen FOUCAULT und BAKHTIN werden die Konzepte Subjekt, Identität und Diskurs mittels "eda" empirisch rekonstruiert. Die genaue empirische Sicht durch die Lupe der eda erlaubt es, Subjektpositionen, die die Sprecherinnen als Beschränkung oder Ermöglichung ihrer Aktionen oder Erfahrungen identifizieren und in ihren Gesprächen "verhandeln", als Effekte von Subjektivierungsprozessen zu deuten.

Creolizing Europe critically interrogates creolization as the decolonial, rhizomatic thinking necessary for understanding the cultural and social transformations set in motion through trans/national dislocations. Exploring the usefulness, transferability, and limitations of creolization for thinking post/coloniality, raciality and othering not only as historical legacies but as immanent to and constitutive of European societies, this volume develops an interdisciplinary dialogue between the social sciences and the humanities. While not all the contributions in this volume explicitly address Edouard Glissant's approach to creolization, they all engage with aspects of his thinking. All of the chapters explore the usefulness, transferability, and limitations of creolization to the European context. As such, this edited collection offers a significant contribution and intervention in the fields of European Studies, Postcolonial Studies, and Cultural Studies on two levels.
