Black-Continental Philosophy? Négritude and the Possibilities of Expanding the Continental Canon
Should we conceptualize domains like Black existentialism and phenomenology as Continental philosophy? Answering this question is difficult for a few reasons. First, Continental philosophy is both specific to a geographic region (Europe) while simultaneously producing theories with utility for many liberation and resistance projects. Second, Africana discourses are often developed in the wake of colonialism, racism, and oppression, making them co…
Black Nausea
When Black agents engage spaces and phenomena that suggest a racialized, potential danger, Black agents shift in their existential understanding of themselves and their phenomenological engagement with the world. This article describes that existential and phenomenological change, and examines the issue of hypothetical anti-Black racism. Utilizing Sartrean and Fanonian conceptions of existential phenomenology, this article explicates three terms:…
Existential Patriarchy
How does patriarchy affect one’s conception of personal freedom? Patriarchy raises this existential question, not just for women but for other identities such as marginalized men. Using Simone de Beauvoir’s thoughts on patriarchy and existentialism, the author argues that an existential framework for patriarchy gives greater insight into the ways patriarchy is interconnected with other oppressions, affects marginalized men and others who do not i…
Kujitambua and Busara
How can educational institutions, from primary to higher, engage in the development of Black students’ racialized self-knowledge? Research has shown that deeper self-realization (self-knowledge) in Black students yields positive results regarding student success (Miquelon and Vallerand 2006; Austin 2018). However, philosophically speaking, what self-knowledge (via one’s Blackness) is, and how we develop it across educational spaces, is still uncl…
Signifying the Sound
“Black art” is often understood as being inherently political. In examining two major Black arts movements, the Harlem Renaissance and the Black Arts movement, many of the works attributed to those periods fit the description of “political art” but not all of them. Black art movements are not defined exclusively by similar styles or methodologies, like Expressionism or Surrealism, either. Instead, Black art movements are complex movements that bl…
ProtectBlackWomen and Other Hashtags
For those who subscribe to a pro-Black political ideology, like that of Pan-Africanism or Black Nationalism, is there a specific moral obligation between Black agents to protect one another against intersectional/multidimensional oppressions? Africana people are often subjugated to other forms of domination outside of anti-Black racism exclusively. When examining offenses against Black women, queer Black people, poor Black people, etc., both Blac…
Racial and Athletic Identity of African American Football Players at Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Predominantly White Institutions
This study examined racial and athletic identity among African American football players at historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and predominantly White institutions (PWIs). Negotiating the dualism of racial and athletic identities can be problematic because both roles are subject to prejudice and discrimination, particularly for student-athletes in revenue-producing sports like football. Results indicated that seniors at both ins…
