Black Diaspora of the Americas: An Examination Based on the Notion of “Cross-State Bond”
Type de matériel :
TexteLangue : français Détails de publication : 2006.
Sujet(s) : Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : Starting from the term “cross-state”, this article examines the possible existence in the Americas of a “transverse” social bond for Black people descended from slaves. People’s points of identification through this bond do not lie in a founder state or a territory of origin such as attachment to a “diaspora”, a closely-related notion, could lead one to suppose. They have developed rather with continuing predominance of the category of race. The strength of this category and its reappropriation by Black nationalist and panafrican tendencies are considered in turn, as is the wide range of social constructs that it generates which could correlate with the transversality sought.
