This Is Not a Jeremiad
This will not be about the manifold interconnected features of the settler colonial system and society that the United States has been since its inception (King), but about one of its constitutive machineries: enslavism.In earlier work, I have coined this term to address the humiliate-ability, the enslave-ability, the rape-ability, the abuse-ability, and the ship-ability of Black people in the discourses and violent practices that have shaped U.S…
Gender and the Abjection of Blackness
An anti-racist critique of gender studies as a field. In Gender and the Abjection of Blackness , Sabine Broeck argues that gender studies as a mostly white field has taken insufficient account of Black contributions, and that more than being an ethnocentric limitation or blind spot, this has represented a structural anti-Blackness in the field. Engaging with the work of Black feminist authors Sylvia Wynter, Hortense Spillers, and Saidiya Hartman,…
Black Knowledges/Black Struggles
This book explores the central but often critically neglected role of knowledge and epistemic formations within social movements for Black ‘freedom’ and emancipation. The collection examines the structural subjugation and condemnation of Black African and Afro-mixed descent peoples globally within the past 500 years of trans-Atlantic societies of Western modernity, doing so in connection to the population's dehumanization and/or invisibilization …
Dekoloniale Entbindung. Walter Mignolos Kritik an der Matrix der Kolonialität
Begonnen werden muss mit einer biographischen Bemerkung, denn die Arbeiten Walter Mignolos zeichnen sich neben ihrer weitgefächerten, vielsprachigen und multidiszplinären Belesenheit vor allem durch den auch in der postkolonialen Theorieszene nicht selbstverständlichen kosmopolitischen Intellekt des Autors aus, der in seinem akademischen Leben nicht nur metaphorisch gesprochen weite Distanzen zurückgelegt hat. Aufgewachsen in Argentinien, nach ei…
The Cambridge History of African American Literature
The first major twenty-first century history of four hundred years of black writing, The Cambridge History of African American Literature presents a comprehensive overview of the literary traditions, oral and print, of African-descended peoples in the United States. Expert contributors, drawn from the United States and beyond, emphasise the dual nature of each text discussed as a work of art created by an individual and as a response to unfolding…
Re-reading de Beauvoir after race
This article reads Simone de Beauvoir's Ethics of Ambiguity (2000, [1948]) and The Second Sex (1989, [1949]) in light of recent decolonial critiques of (post) modernity. It situates de Beauvoir's employment of the woman-as-slave analogy within the heated controversies of her political moment. Marxists, Existentialists, Jewish intellectuals and Pan-Africanists, among others, engaged around issues of anti-fascist, anti-colonialist and anti-capitali…
American Studies in Germany (Particularly West Germany) Between the Cold War Period and the Early Twenty-First Century - Reminiscences of a Participant Observer
This essay reconsiders the proto-ecological qualities of Wallace Stevens' poetry through a detailed reading of 'Earthy Anecdote', the little riddle poem that opens the writer's first volume, Harmonium. It argues that the poem fulfils a variety of purposes that cannot be all contained by an ecocritical reading: while it may certainly be understood as reflecting Stevens' investment in earth's natural cycles and its unspoiled natural environments, o…
