Scholarly engagements in times of catastrophe
Equaliberty in the Dutch Caribbean
We were fucking bold! We were fucking audacious!’
In light of one of the two founding editors of Ethnography, Paul Willis [PW], and the other longest serving editor-in-chief, Peter Geschiere
Chanting Down the New Jerusalem
In this brilliantly evocative ethnography, Francio Guadeloupe probes the ethos and attitude created by radio disc jockeys on the binational Caribbean island of Saint Martin/Sint Maarten. Examining the intersection of Christianity, calypso, and capitalism, Guadeloupe shows how a multiethnic and multireligious island nation, where livelihoods depend on tourism, has managed to encourage all social classes to transcend their ethnic and religious diff…
Imagining the Nation in the Classroom
This Exploration focuses on ideologies of belonging and feelings of nationness on the Dutch Caribbean islands of Sint Maarten and Sint Eustatius. The new constitutional framework that came into effect within the Kingdom of the Netherlands on 10 October 2010 conferred a new political status to these islands, thereby affecting the complexity of political subjectivity, nationness and belonging within the context of Caribbean nonsovereignty. The arti…
The Promise of a Utopian Home, or Capitalism's Commoditization of Blackness
This essay argues that the way in which black, brown, and white youngsters in the Netherlands are taking on a new anti-essentialist version of black identity fabricated by the culture industry offers a mode of post-racialism in multicultural Europe. This new version of black identity is based upon the liberating potential in Black Atlantic music forms. Yet questions remain as to whether this potential is only temporary and whether it still bears …
Reparaties als een hedendaagse uiting van de permanente revolutie. Een standpunt
Een invloedrijk deel van de Caribische artistieke en intellectuele elite in Nederland volgt het vertoog van cultureel trauma onder Afro-Caribische Nederlanders: de positieve culturele, affectieve en cognitieve grondslagen van hun gemeenschap zijn ernstig beschadigd door de trans-Atlantische slavernij. De huidige sociaaleconomische achterstelling van Afro-Caribische Nederlanders wordt direct gekoppeld aan het leed dat hun voorouders is aangedaan. …
Pimping and the deconstruction of the natural
The National Thing Is a Scenario Not Made for We Third World Massive
We still live in a world where ethno-racial nationalisms obfuscate the recognition of our common humanity. This situation is even more alarming when one takes into consideration the predation of working class migrants by unscrupulous agents of global capitalism. For critically engaged anthropologists it is pertinent to track and record the everyday experiments that seek to contest capitalist exploitation and deconstruct the common sense of ethno-…
Their Modernity Matters Too
Much work in the field of Black Atlantic studies has highlighted the lives and philosophies of liberation of black savants such as W. E. B. DuBois and Claude McKay. These and other black intellectuals, who combined anti-capitalist critique with the struggle against anti-black racism, have been heralded as planetary humanists eschewing exclusive nationalism. This article seeks to complement this body of work by revealing the underprivileged action…
Chanting Down the New JerusalemCalypso, Christianity, and Capitalism in the Caribbean
This ethnography probes the ethos and attitude created by radio disc jockeys on the bi-national Caribbean island of Saint Martin/Sint Maarten. Examining the intersection of Christianity, calypso, and capitalism, the book shows how a multiethnic and multi-religious island nation, where livelihoods depend on tourism, has managed to encourage all social classes to transcend their ethnic and religious differences. In the analysis, the book discusses …
Carmelita's In-Possible Dance
Two characteristics mark the Caribbean: capitalism and the hegemony of North Atlantic versions of Christianity. The colonization and exploitation of the Caribbean was justified in the name of profit and the dominant North Atlantic renderings of Christ's message. Having been conceived by the joint forces of these worldly and otherworldly regimes of subjugation, both equally brutal, both making unreasonable demands, both contested yet internalized,…
