The (im)possibilities of reconciliation
The words in the title 'living on the land together' signal that I am not of this land, but I am trying to understand what their ethical and political grounding could mean to me as a Black sojourner. What do they imply for the (im)possibilities of Black/ Indigenous relations on the part of Turtle Island called Canada? What obligation-responsibility flows from Black/Indigenous relations when we try to practice becoming ‘kin’ on occupied land? What…
Educational Experiences of Black Children and Youth in Canada
Black children and youth in Canada often hold high educational aspirations; however, systemic biases, deficit-based perceptions, and structural barriers limit their opportunities. These challenges, linked to anti-Black racism, migration-related disruptions, and socioeconomic inequities, contribute to lower engagement, underrepresentation, and reduced access to equitable educational resources. This scoping review examines these intersecting factor…
We Need Charles Mills More Than Ever
This article uses a no reply racist email I received in 2023 as its point of departure for thinking through the importance of The Racial Contract in theorizing about contemporary ‘post-race’ racism’s cultural life because of the prevalent discourse that Black people can be racist too. It looks at the continuing presence of willful white ignorance on anti-Black racism and the tenacity of global white supremacy’s impact on lines of sight societally…
The Routledge International Handbook of New Critical Race and Whiteness Studies
Since its foundation as an academic field in the 1990s, critical race theory has developed enormously and has, among others, been supplemented by and (dis)integrated with critical whiteness studies. At the same time, the field has moved beyond its origins in Anglo-Saxon environments, to be taken up and re-developed in various parts of the world – leading to not only new empirical material but also new theoretical perspectives and analytical appro…
Covid-19 Vaccine Mandates and Vaccine Hesitancy among Black People in Canada
COVID-19 vaccine mandates may have reinforced mistrust of the government and decreased confidence in the COVID-19 vaccine. Policy makers need to consider non-discriminatory public health policies and monitor how these policies are implemented over time and across multiple sectors to better understand vaccine hesitancy
European Bipoc Feminisms
Scholarship and activism that center Black feminist thought, Women-of-Color feminisms, Indigenous feminisms, and Queer of Color critiques are not new in the European context.However, they are often overshadowed by white European feminist and queer theorization and political action on the one hand, and U.S.-centric scholarship and activism on the other.In one of the few edited volumes to take up Black feminism from a European perspective, Akwugo E…
The Palgrave Handbook of Critical Race and Gender
Futures of Anti-Racism
This book assesses the nature and extent of the project of deracialisation required to counter the contemporary dynamics of racialisation.
“Why Me?”– Questions of Racial Equity and Institutional Racism in Academia
Beginning with the necessary question “Why me?,” I look at a system which bars BIPOC bodies and theory. In her open letter to the US Black Studies academic community, Sylvia Wynter (1994 ) spoke about the problem of “no human involved” (“NHI”) in the policing and incarceration of Black bodies as being pertinent for how Black studies was positioned institutionally. This same white supremacist governance and surveillance “NHI” exists in universitie…
Beauty
Beauty is not race neutral. It is a racialized category/ perception which emerged through centuries of European colonization, Indigenous genocide, African/Black enslavement and indenture resulting in an aesthetic hierarchy with Blackness at the bottom. The coloniality of aesthetics means that still today hair perceived as Black in texture and styling and darker skin on African descent bodies are the repositories of anti-Blackness. However, Black …

From Post-Intersectionality to Black Decolonial Feminism
Decolonising Sambo
This book decolonises ‘sambo’ as racialised knowledge, power, being and affect to unsettle its place in the history of ‘mixed race’ and racialised naming forged through settler colonialism which in its afterlife continues to haunt our contemporary period through national commemoration, cultural production and markets in contemptible collectibles
The Shame of ‘Mixedness’
This chapter uses ‘brownness’ as ideal to take up a discussion of somaesthetics and sarkaesthetics through looking at the shame caused by negative aesthetic value within Black Nationalist politics attached to being Black-white ‘mixed race’ and its ‘dissing’. That is, Black women’s bodies are a medium for creating aesthetic value through the subject’s adoption of a third-person perspective, enabling the emergence of dis/alienation from existing Bl…
The Governmentality of Silence and Silencing and Black Beauty Shame
Affect is racialized with respect to Black beauty shame because beauty/ugliness is a socially constructed, culturally specific binary and within the ‘structure of feeling’ in the Global North/South West anti-Black African descent racism structures our experiences within racialized assemblages. Shame is attached to judgements of Black beauty/ugliness. It is an affect which is at once silenced, even whilst it aims to silence and produce silencing o…
Conclusion
Black beauty shame matters in global racial capitalism. Global racial capitalism depends on Black ugliness as a source of surplus value through its over-exploited hyper-visibility which maintains white and Black lighter-skinned beauty norms. There are colonial and Black Nationalist aesthetic formations which necessitate that we develop ways of becoming and relating outside dominance if we wish to avoid shame. Rastafarian ‘livity’ is important if …
White Iconicity
White beauty iconicity is necropolitical because Black and Black-white ‘mixed race’ women live within shaming events produced by their aesthetic hierarchy positioning as ugly. Whiteness continues as the beauty ideal in the Global North/South-west and is a necessary defining context for aesthetic life. The promise of white ideal beauty continues to resonate negatively in Black and Black-white ‘mixed race’ women’s lives as it makes their beauties u…
Black Beauty Shame
Constructed through enslavement and colonialism, Black beauty shame drags the coloniality of power, being, knowledge and affect into the twenty-first century. Its silencing and silences work through intensification, which floods one with a suffusive sensation that isolates through precise individuation and a relationality which one cannot control. Black beauty shame is about social, political, economic and psychic domination through subjectificat…
Introduction
This introduction constructs a Black decolonial feminist approach to Black beauty shame. Black feminisms-US, UK, Caribbean, Indo-Caribbean, African and Latin American—illustrate that intersectional racism/racialization matter for theorizing which centres Black women. A Black decolonial feminist approach to beauty and ugliness draws on Wynter, Espinosa Miñoso, Glissant, Césaire and Oyĕwùmi in thinking from/through Black women’s experiences, their …
Reading Black Beauty Shame in Talk
Looking for shame when it is not uttered motivated an analysis that incorporated conversation analysis with discourse analysis to produce an ‘ethnomethodologically inclined discourse analysis’ (eda). Interviews with UK Black and Black-white ‘mixed race’ women were transcribed using a conversation analytic transcription to capture the intensification of shame within talk surrounded by speech disturbances such as in-breaths, out-breaths, pauses and…
Building the Anti-Racist University
In the new arena for anti-racist work in which we find ourselves, the neo-liberal, ‘post-race’ university, this interdisciplinary collection demonstrates common global political concerns about racism in Higher Education. It highlights a range of issues regarding students, academic staff and knowledge systems, and all of the contributions seek to challenge the complacency of the ‘post-race’ present that is dominant in North-West Europe and North A…
Whiteliness and institutional racism
Unconscious bias happens by our brains making incredibly quick judgements and assessments without us realising. Biases are influenced by background, cultural environment and experiences and we may not be aware of these views and opinions, or of their full impact and implications. This article opposes this point of view by arguing that bias is not unconscious but is (un)conscious and linked to Charles Mills' 'Racial Contract' and its 'epistemologi…
Black Skins, Black Masks
Black Skin, Black Masks: Hybridity, Dialogism, Performativity offers a timely exploration of Black identity and its negotiation. The book draws on empirical work recording everyday conversations between Black women: friends, peers and family members. These conversations are discussed in the light of the work of Homi Bhabha, Stuart Hall, Gerd Baumann, Claire Alexander and others on questions of hybridity, identity, otherness and the development of…
The Governmentality of Black Beauty Shame
This book uses the experiences and conversations of black British women as a lens to examine the impact of discourses surrounding black beauty shame. Black beauty shame exists within racialized societies which situate white beauty as iconic, and as a result produce black 'ugliness' as a counterpoint. At the same time, black nationalist discourses present black-white 'mixed race' women as bodies out of place within the black community. In the exam…
Introduction
Skin speaks. It is not just organic matter but the most visible signifier of racial difference. This book looks at what Black lighter skin means in our 21st century ‘post-race’ world, through the prism of the cross-gender/sexuality/race/class/age/region practice of shade shifting through Skin Bleaching/lightening/toning. Skin bleaching analyses practices, ideologies and products as it looks at bleachers, lighteners, and toners’ socio-political cr…

Black beauty
Dark skin shade and natural afro-hair are central in the politics of visibility, inclusion and exclusion within black anti-racist aesthetics. This article focuses on black beauty as performative through looking at how the discourse of dark skin equals black beauty is destabilized in the talk of 'mixed race' black women. A dark skin shade and natural afro hair become ambiguous signifiers as the women's talk leads to a mobility of black beauty. The…

I can't quite put my finger on it
Black liberation thought is foundational for Black Critical Race Theory (BCRT) which in turn is crucial for unpicking the operation of white power in organizations. Such unpicking is urgent given the observation that in organizations racism melts into thin air even as it permeates their very walls. ‘I just can't quite put my finger on it’ engages with the struggle to identify racism's invisible touch. In the academy, postrace sensibilities presen…
Building the anti-racist university
volume.The 2013 conference 'Building the Anti-racist University: Next Steps' was focused on looking forward to what needed to be done now in the 21 st century drawing on 20 th /21 st century experience of institutional gains followed by their attrition in some cases and fundamental institutional inertia in others.Both of these responses to addressing institutional racism worked against organizational change even as equality and diversity policies…
Racial affective economies, disalienation and 'race made ordinary
This paper speaks against tolerance as an instrument of institutionalized anti-racism within academia where collegiality is a minimal expectation in interpersonal interactions. Through auto-ethnographic readings, the discussion focuses on the racial affective economies produced in universities as tolerance 'makes race ordinary'. Within this reading, 'making race ordinary' is shown to produce unliveable lives because of its racial affective econom…

The performativity of Black beauty shame in Jamaica and its diaspora
Black beauty shame emerges within the Black/white binary because of the beauty values sedimented in our structure of feeling since African enslavement. This article does not start from white beauty as the ideal, but focuses on the performativity of Black beauty shame as it transforms or intensifies the meanings of parts of the body in Jamaica and its UK diaspora. Using extracts from interviews with UK Jamaican heritage women, the discussion illus…
Prison (E)scapes and Body Tropes
The focus of this article will be on inserting the words of older women in prison into debates on time, agency and gendered identities in total institutions. Specifically, the article will address the complexity and contradictions of the time of 'a mediated real', and how this impacts on embodied identities within prison timescapes. This will be explored through looking at how prison-time as a 'somatic identity cipher' functions performatively in…

Michelle Obama's Arms
The debate on Michelle Obama’s ‘right to bare arms’ illustrates that American cultural politics is far from ‘post-racial’. Through reading ‘Michelle O’ as a body out of place, at once exoticized, fetishized, and affective, this article shows the continuing location of the First Lady as white as well as exploring how stylization revisions the raced, gendered, and classed space of the First Lady’s body. It argues that, as a corporeal negation of th…

“Global” and “Local” identities in the discourses of British-born Caribbeans
British Caribbeans manifest both a “global” and a “local” identity through complex language behavior including codeswitching. It is the Creole which most connects “globally” — to other speakers of Creole, to the British youth culture which now accepts Creole/patois as an element, and to the world-wide Black music culture. Meanwhile “English” for black speakers is more likely to mean a local variety of English, for example, London, Birmingham, or …

Translating Melancholia
This paper is about the (im)possibility of ‘the Black community’. Specifically it is about how the process of translating melancholia in talk on life stories makes ‘the Black community’ (im)possible. Its (im)possibility arises because translating melancholia leads to critical agency (Khanna, 2003 Khanna, R. 2003. Dark continents: Psychoanalysis and colonialism, London: Duke University Press. [Crossref] , [Google Scholar]) in Black women's and men…

Heading South
Reading Heading South as a decolonial romance reveals anxiety about the liminal location of young male citizens in 1970s Haiti caught within the necropower of state terror and US imperialism. Focusing on young men selling “romance” on the beach within the continuing colonial relations between the United States and Haiti and black and white bodies, the film engages with the limits of transracial, heterosexual romance in sex tourism. The impossibil…

The aim of this article is to understand the affect of estrangement expressed as pain and loneliness within spaces of incarceration. The article will tease out the dissonances and the tensions of both the loneliness of pain and pain as loneliness expressed in the narratives of older women lifers in prison and former political prisoners. Specifically, pain will be looked at as heartache, not feeling physical pain, and one's own pain and shame at b…

Self-Hate
Bleaching/lightening/toning is affective, whether vilified by non-bleachers or valorised in communities forged through pain in Jamaica and South Africa. Bleaching produces bodies and communities engaged in ‘race’ performativity, which does not produce the failed whitening of colonial mimicry. Instead, it produces a third body which actively engages critique of the political economy of Black Atlantic skin inequality. Bleaching makes the body’s sub…
A Brief Black/White/Light History of Skin Bleaching/ Lightening/Toning
This chapter destabilizes the Manicheanism of iconic whiteness and authentic Blackness in skin bleaching’s racialized gender, political and libidinal economies. The discussion begins with ‘white face’ in Europe, the Caribbean colonies and the United States before looking at the complex meanings of the practice among Black women in different Black Atlantic sites, which takes us beyond the usual tropes of ‘self-hate’ and ‘low self-esteem’. The chap…
