Response to Lisa Beard’s Review of Black Grief/White Grievance: The Politics of Loss
"Statues Made of Sugar": Martí, Monuments, and Hemispheric Ventriloquism
Monuments speak; they shape citizens' political imaginations. Drawing on an essay by the Cuban intellectual José Martí about Confederate commemoration, I argue that his Confederate solidarities were the result of hemispheric ventriloquism. Widely lauded as an anti-imperial and anti-racist thinker, Martí's hemispheric ventriloquism was driven by: 1) fears of US imperial expansion; 2) a need to rebut critiques of republics as inherently unstable fo…
Reckoning with the Past, Imagining the Future
In the wake of the Trump presidency—with its endemic corruption, norm-breaking, and open subversion of the rule of law culminating in an attempted insurrection and ongoing false claims of election fraud—an overdue national conversation about the health of US democracy is taking place. For many, this was their first conscious experience of US democracy as imperiled or in crisis, and it raised pressing questions about whether there was cause to hop…
Black Grief/White Grievance: The Politics of Loss
Creolizing Theory in Conversation with Theorizing Race in the Americas
This review essay situates Jane Anna Gordon’s in light of methodological debates about the nature and role of “comparison.” Gordon repurposes the concept of “creolization” as a means for political theory to grapple with heterogeneity and mixture, not as discrete sets of thinkers and traditions, but as co-constituting. Gordon’s use of creolizing is then read alongside Hooker’s concept of juxtaposition as an alternative to comparison
Leith Mullings, Our Compañera en Lucha: Colleagues in anti-racist research and action reflect on the life and legacy of anthropologist leith Mullings, who died on December 13, 2020, at the age of 75
The recent passing of the renowned anthropologist and anti-racist activist Leith Mullings is a tremendous loss. The three of us became close to Leith through our shared participation in the Antirac
"Old people problems", uncertainty and legitimacy: Challenges with diagnosing Parkinson's disease in Kenya
Very little is known about the experience of people living with Parkinson's disease (PD) in low- and middle-income countries, such as those in sub-Saharan Africa. The number of specialists in the region is low and awareness is limited among the population and healthcare professionals. Drawing on ten months of ethnographic fieldwork in urban and rural Kenya with 55 people living with PD (PwP), 23 family members and 22 healthcare professionals from…
Black and Indigenous Resistance in the Americas: From Multiculturalism to Racist Backlash
Black and Indigenous Resistance in the Americas is an essential roadmap to understanding contemporary racial politics across the Americas, where openly white supremacist politics are on the rise. It is the product of a multiyear, transnational research project by the Anti-racist Research and Action Network of the Americas in collaboration with resistance movements confronting racial retrenchment in Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Guatemala, Mex…
How Can the Democratic Party Confront Racist Backlash? White Grievance in Hemispheric Perspective
In the aftermath of the 2016 presidential election, a contentious debate has ensued in the Democratic Party, and in the U.S. left more generally, about whether Trump’s victory was the result of racist and white nationalist appeals or was powered by an economically anxious and forgotten white working class left behind by globalization. From a Latin American perspective, this U.S. debate about the relative salience of race and class is strikingly f…

Black Protest / White Grievance: On the Problem of White Political Imaginations Not Shaped by Loss
After Ferguson in 2014, the visibility of protests against police violence resulted in much analysis of black protest, while the phenomenon of white rage was left largely unexamined until Donald Trump's surprising 2016 presidential victory. This essay reframes the problem of contemporary racial politics as the politicization of white grievance. I draw on the notion that the political imagination of white citizens has not been shaped by loss to ar…
Indigenous Inclusion/Black Exclusion: Race, Ethnicity and Multicultural Citizenship in Latin America
This article analyses the causes of the disparity in collective rights gained by indigenous and Afro-Latin groups in recent rounds of multicultural citizenship reform in Latin America. Instead of attributing the greater success of indians in winning collective rights to differences in population size, higher levels of indigenous group identity or higher levels of organisation of the indigenous movement, it is argued that the main cause of the dis…
Black Lives Matter and the Paradoxes of U.S. Black Politics: From Democratic Sacrifice to Democratic Repair
This essay seeks to understand the complex response to the current Black Lives Matter protests against police violence, which pose deeper questions about the forms of politics that black citizens—who are experiencing a defining moment of racial terror in the United States in the twenty-first century—can and should pursue. When other citizens and state institutions betray a lack of care and concern for black suffering, which in turn makes it impos…
Afro-descendant Struggles for Collective Rights in Latin America: Between Race and Culture
In recent years Afro-descendant social movements have won important collective rights from the state in many Latin American countries. In addition to certain collective rights to land and culture embedded in new multicultural citizenship regimes, in a few countries in the region Afro-descendants have also won specific anti-racial discrimination rights, such as affirmative action in education and employment. However, despite such important achieve…
Beloved Enemies: Race and Official Mestizo Nationalism in Nicaragua
This article analyzes the persistence of an official discourse of mestizo nationalism in Nicaragua in spite of the adoption of multicultural citizenship rights for black and indigenous costeños in 1986. These reforms appeared to directly contradict key premises of previously dominant nationalist ideologies, particularly the idea that Nicaragua was a uniformly mestizo nation. Instead of a radical break with the past, however, what we find in conte…

Hybrid subjectivities, Latin American mestizaje, and Latino political thought on race
This essay interrogates accounts of race in Latino political thought (and hence claims about how Latinos should approach race in the USA) grounded in a selective borrowing from Latin American philosophical sources on mestizaje. It argues that the uncritical reproduction of certain conceptions of mestizaje in Latino political thought ignores the way in which Latin American ideas about race were developed in direct conversation with US empire and U…

A Black Sister to Massachusetts: Latin America and the Fugitive Democratic Ethos of Frederick Douglass
The aim of this article is to read Frederick Douglass as a theorist of democracy. It explores the hemispheric dimensions of Douglass' political thought, especially in relation to multiracial democracy. Douglass is generally viewed as an African-American thinker primarily concerned with U.S. politics, and the transnational scope of his ideas is rarely acknowledged. Instead, this article traces the connections between Douglass' Caribbean interventi…

Em vez de atribuir o maior êxito dos índios na conquista desses direitos a diferenças no tamanho da população e a níveis mais elevados de identidade de grupo ou de organização dos movimentos indígenas, a autora sustenta que a principal causa d…

Race and the Politics of Solidarity
This book examines how the social fact of race shapes the ethical-political orientations of citizens in diverse democracies. It develops the concept of racialized solidarity; explores its impact on current conceptions of racial justice, particularly as formulated in theories of multiculturalism; and suggests how it might begin to be addressed. Political solidarity is the reciprocal relation of trust and obligation between members of a political c…

Negociando "Negritude" em um Estado Multicultural: Política Creole e Identidade na Nicarágua
Esse artigo examina como os Creoles afrodescendentes estão atualmente reconfigurando suas identidades coletivas no âmbito do multiculturalismo nicaraguense. São examinadas questões como: o que significa ser atualmente Creole, negro ou afrodescendente na Nicarágua, um Estado que se proclama Multicultural? Como a negritude é negociada e vivenciada em um Estado onde o multiculturalismo se tornou uma política oficial, mas onde, historicamente, hierar…
