  • Citation, Erasure, and Violence

    Open AccessC A SmithARTICLECultural Anthropology2022Citada por: 8Referências: 7

    This essay examines the intimate relationship between the personal, the political, violence, and citational erasure through the lens of Black women's experience. Antiblackness, misogyny, and patriarchy together produce the environment that foments Black women's citational erasure within anthropology and the academy more broadly. Such erasure is not just an intellectual matter. It is equally a matter of power whose logic has deep roots in settler-…

    Open AccessAnne‐maria Makhulu, C A SmithARTICLECultural Anthropology2022Citada por: 7Referências: 3

    Anthropology continues to grapple with pervasive racism and sexism. Although we have made strides to distance ourselves from our colonial roots, our field remains dominated by white men. More pointedly, despite the diversity of our discipline, people of color generally, and Black women particularly, continue to be excluded from the anthropological canon. Nowhere is this more evident than in the relative absence of Black women from the bibliograph…

  • Counting Frequency

    C A SmithARTICLESocial Text2021

    Examining Black women's experiences with policing, this article argues that police terror is not predicated upon gender; rather, it enacts gender by undoing gender. Thus, it requires a new arithmetic of time and space in order to read beyond normative, hypermasculine narratives of police violence. While the dominant discourse of race and policing asserts that police terror disproportionately affects Black men, the frequency of Black women's exper…

  • An Introduction to Cite Black Women

    Open AccessC A SmithARTICLEFeminist Anthropology2021

    In this introduction to the special issue on Cite Black Women , Christen Smith describes the conditions of invisibility, exclusion, and silencing of Black women scholars in anthropology. Charting genealogical and biographical confluences, she describes the formation of the Cite Black Women collective, and the interventions imagined by the contributors to this special issue

  • “We are not named”

    Open AccessC A Smith, Dominique Garrett‐scottARTICLEFeminist Anthropology2021

    Black women anthropologists are not cited within the discipline at a rate consistent with our scholarly production and visibility in the field. Despite our training, practice, and prolific writing, authors who publish in top‐tier anthropology journals rarely cite Black women. This citational absence reveals a paradox: although Black women play key roles in the discipline as leaders and service providers, our intellectual contributions are underva…

  • In Front of the World”

    Open AccessC A Smith, Christen Smith et al.ARTICLEAntipode2021Citada por: 15Referências: 35

    This collection translates some of the work of the influential Black Brazilian thinker and activist Beatriz Nascimento (1942–1995) for the first time into English, in collaboration with her only daughter, Bethânia Gomes. Historian, poet, theorist and organiser, Beatriz Nascimento was a key figure in Brazil’s Black Movement until her untimely death in 1995. She dangerously wrote at the height of Brazil’s Military Dictatorship (1964–1985), and theo…

    C A Smith, FLAVIA DE PAIVA ALVES DA SILVA et al.ARTICLEDESIGUALDADE E DIVERSIDADE2020

    No Brasil a experiência das mulheres negras com a violência está associada ao racismo. Neste artigo, discutimos tal violência com base no relato de mulheres negras da favela de Heliópolis, na cidade de São Paulo (SP). Trata-se de estudo qualitativo descritivo que, por meio de nove entrevistas, coletou informações sobre as concepções de violência desse segmento e suas estratégias de enfrentamento. A experiência com a violência, seja física ou simb…

    Open AccessC A Smith, Michaela MachicoteARTICLERevista Em Pauta2020

    As mulheres negras, silenciadas, invisíveis e pobres da classe trabalhadora lutam apenas para sobreviver em Austin, Texas, EUA. Este artigo argumenta que as experiências das mulheres negras sem teto e a discriminação habitacional nos Estados Unidos indicam que a gentrificação não é apenas um processo social limitante, mas também mortal. Existe uma relação niítida, porém implícita, entre gentrificação e a supremacia branca patriarcal estrutural e …

  • Afro-Paradise

    C A SmithBOOKAfro-Paradise2016

    Tourists exult in Bahia, Brazil, as a tropical paradise infused with the black population's one-of-a-kind vitality. But the alluring images of smiling black faces and dancing black bodies masks an ugly reality of anti-black authoritarian violence. This book argues that the dialectic of glorified representations of black bodies and subsequent state repression reinforces Brazil's racially hierarchal society. Interpreting the violence as both instit…

  • Towards a Black Feminist Model of Black Atlantic Liberation

    C A SmithARTICLEMeridians2016Citada por: 14

    Black woman, scholar, and visionary-Beatriz Nascimento was a critical figure in Brazil's Black Movement until her untimely death in 1995. Although she published only a handful of articles before she died and left only a few other recorded thoughts, her ideas about the symbolic relationship between quilombos (Afro-Brazilian maroon societies) and black subjectivity encourage us to re-imagine the meaning of Black liberation from a transnational, Bla…

  • Facing the Dragon

    Open AccessC A SmithARTICLETransforming Anthropology2016Citada por: 54Referências: 14

    Anti-Black state violence across the Americas reflects a global gendered necropolitical logic. Yet, we often misread this violence by suggesting that the primary victims are men. Although state terror often results in the immediate physical death of young Black men, it is principally, yet tacitly, performed for Black women and impacts Black women disproportionately. This essay argues that the gendered necropolitics of trans-American anti-Black vi…
