Beyond essentialism
Coco Fusco wrote in 2005 that the explosion of creativity in black culture in Britain in the 1980s, together with the accompanying critical debates, transformed assumptions about black art worldwide. The key senior figure in those debates was Stuart Hall. This article explores Hall as (1) an activist-intellectual who served as a mentor for artists from the African, Arab, Asian and Caribbean diasporas living in the UK and who intervened in public …
Black History and the Struggle for Justice
In the United Kingdom, Black History Month (BHM) occurs in October. This short talk-an example of the author's work as a public intellectual-was given at the launch of BHM in Wales in 2013. It begins by suggesting that Black history is (a) scholarship, (b) a form of cultural politics and cultural democracy, (c) a mode of vindication and counter-narrative, and (d) celebration. After warning that some practices of Black history have negative conseq…
On Stuart Hall
This is an amended version of a paper presented in a panel discussion following the screening of The Stuart Hall Project (a new film by John Akomfrah) at Chapter Arts Centre in Cardiff, Wales, in September 2013. It discusses six key features of Hall's life and work: (1) a conception of intellectual work as serious, (2) a commitment to public engagement, (3) a commitment to collaboration as a mode of intellectual production, (4) long-term engageme…

Re-Membering the African-American Past
The Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s was part of the New Negro Movement that swept the USA in the early twentieth century. Through fiction, poetry, essays, music, theatre, sculpture, painting and illustration, participants in this first Black arts movement produced work that was both grounded in modernity and an engagement with African-American history, folk culture and memory. This paper focuses on two Harlem Renaissance artists, the poet and fic…
On an Island without Sun
This paper discusses 12 coping strategies – tools that Sikh immigrants and their descendants have appropriated to make sense of and engage with their new surroundings in Ireland: (1) keeping tradition alive; (2) improvisation; (3) erasing markers of difference; (4) camouflage; (5) being smart, being tough; (6) being cool; (7) downplaying racism; (8) living with India; (9) crossing over, sharing experience; (10) becoming Asian; (11) becoming black…
Photography that cares
This article, inspired by Roland Barthes' account of his search for a ‘just photograph’ of his mother (in Camera Lucida) and engaging with the author's own experience as a photographer, ethnographer and grieving son, makes the case for a photographic practice that is empathetic, reflexive, dialogic and critically engaged. It explores issues of photographic practice and cultural theory through text and images, including photographs and life storie…
An African Presence in Europe
Africans and Muslims, photography and cultural studies – these are the subjects and objects of this cultural-political intervention combining humanist portrait photography, collaborative ethnography and oral history. The Somali Elders Project is located outside of the academy, in a community-based arts and educational centre in Cardiff, Wales. It is a mode of socially-concerned research, photography and representation in which marginalized voices…
Flight from Modernity
The escape from modernity and the turn to `the primitive', the twin pillars of primitivism, are dominant - although not always acknowledged - themes in modern Western art and anthropology. This article explores these themes through an examination of the construction of difference in critical-primitivist discourses. Particular attention is paid to, first, German Expressionism and, second, the primitivist critical theory of Stanley Diamond, radical…
