2023 PROSE Award in European History “An invaluable historical example of the creation of a scientific conception of race that is unlikely to disappear anytime soon.” —Washington Post “Reveals how prestigious natural scientists once sought physical explanations, in vain, for a social identity that continues to carry enormous significance to this day.” —Nell Irvin Painter, author of The History of White People “A fascinating, if disturbing, window onto the origins of racism.” —Publishers Weekly “To read [these essays] is to witness European intellectuals, in the age of the Atlantic slave trade, struggling, one after another, to justify atrocity.” —Jill Lepore, author of These Truths: A History of the United States In 1739 Bordeaux’s Royal Academy of Sciences announced a contest for the best essay on the sources of “blackness.” What is the physical cause of blackness and African hair, and what is the cause of Black degeneration, the contest announcement asked. Sixteen essays, written in French and Latin, were ultimately dispatched from all over Europe. Documented on each page are European ideas about who is Black and why. Looming behind these essays is the fact that some four million Africans had been kidnapped and shipped across the Atlantic by the time the contest was announced. The essays themselves represent a broad range of opinions, which nonetheless circulate around a common theme: the search for a scientific understanding of the new concept of race. More important, they provide an indispensable record of the Enlightenment-era thinking that normalized the sale and enslavement of Black human beings. These never previously published documents survived the centuries tucked away in Bordeaux’s municipal library. Translated into English and accompanied by a detailed introduction and headnotes written by Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and Andrew Curran, each essay included in this volume lays bare the origins of anti-Black racism and colorism in the West.

Hybrid Hate is the first book to study the conflation of antisemitism and anti-Black racism. As objects of racism, Jews and Blacks have been linked together for centuries as peoples apart from the general run of humanity. In this book, Tudor Parfitt investigates the development of antisemitism, anti-Black racism, and race theory in the West from the Renaissance to the Second World War. Parfitt explains how Jews were often perceived as Black in medieval Europe, and the conflation of Jews and Blacks continued throughout the period of the Enlightenment. With the discovery of a community of Black Jews in Loango in West Africa in 1777, and later of Black Jews in India, the Middle East, and other parts of Africa, the notion of multiracial Jews was born. Over the following centuries, the figure of the hybrid Black Jew was drawn into the maelstrom of evolving theories about race hierarchies and taxonomies. Parfitt analyses how Jews and Blacks were increasingly conflated in a racist discourse from the mid-nineteenth century to the period of the Third Reich, as the two fundamental prejudices of the West were combined. Hybrid Hate offers a new interpretation of the rise of antisemitism and anti-Black racism in Europe, and casts light on contemporary racist discourses in the United States and Europe.

Tracks and Traces of Violence explores the social conditions, political contexts, and cultural spaces of violence in Africa. It is comprised of accounts that underpin the visible and hidden 'tracks and traces' of violence in the memories of traumatized individuals and groups. It also interrogates the gaps, silences, and vacuities of/in these memories, as well as the role they play in shaping the facial contours of our modern societies. Weaving together views from literature, anthropology, art, cultural studies, and museum studies, this book provides deeper insight into the meanings of violent socialities, spatialities, and temporalities, as well as into how they materialize in poetry, fiction, art, and popular culture.

"The study investigates how Muslim religious specialists (fuqarâ, sing. fakî) acquire Qur'anic knowledge in the context of the 'communities of practice'. It contextualises the Qur'anic schools of Jebel Marra in the Sudan arguing that the fuqarâ increase their access to knowledge of the Qur'an by socially interacting with each other. The book is grounded in a[n] ethnographic study of Qur'anic memorisation and activities that the fuqarâ perform after graduation from Qur'anic schools. It thus provides a fresh perspective to Islamic learning and epistemology. 'The great value of the study lies in the author's reconstruction of the practices and techniques, cognitive and corporeal, which are systematically employed to memorise the whole of the Qur'an.'"--Page 4 of cover.

Le recueil de récits d'enfance tire son intérêt et son originalité de son caractère collectif en rupture avec la conception classique du récit d’enfance comme entreprise individuelle et autonome. L'impact de la forme brève imposée par le recueil sur le récit d'enfance pose avec acuité la question du renouvellement (ou non) des modalités d'écriture de l'enfance: sélection des souvenirs, reconduite ou subversion des motifs liés à l'enfance. Tirant profit des théories stipulant le dynamisme du recueil, cet ouvrage prône une lecture hypertextuelle de trois collectifs rassemblant des écrivains francophones d'horizons divers qui, à partir d'un fragment d'enfance, relatent leurs rapports complexes à la grande Histoire et à la petite histoire mais aussi au pays d'origine et au pays de l'exil, à la langue maternelle et à la langue d'écriture. Au-delà de la problématique postcoloniale, la poétique des textes transversale pratiquée cherche à tracer des liens transculturels entre des enfances issues de mondes très différents.

Cet ouvrage est une réflexion approfondie sur une question transversale des littératures d'Afrique : le châtiment surnaturel. S'appuyant sur des voies invisibles, le surnaturel se déploie pour venger des crimes commis contre plusieurs pans de l'édifice traditionnel. Sont mobilisés dans cette action : les sorciers, la nature, les dieux, les ancêtres et d'autres forces invisibles. Après analyse des thématiques sous-jacentes à la problématique du châtiment surnaturel, telles que le statut de la femme dans une société soumise aux lois magiques, le débat sur les traditions et la sorcellerie dans l'Afrique actuelle, la recherche débouche sur une perspective originale inspirée de la littérature : le recours au surnaturel comme une option désormais fondamentale pour le développement de l'Afrique. L'auteur envisage cette démarche dans un nouveau concept qu'il appelle sorciologie et qu'il définit comme l'étude scientifique de la sorcellerie dans la perspective du développement de l'Afrique.

Les auteurs et auteures des contributions réunies dans cet ouvrage observent comment les procédés de l’ironie et de l’humour sont mobilisés par les écrivains francophones pour véhiculer une critique sociale. L’esclavage, la colonisation, les dictatures et la violence sont au nombre des thèmes abordés, formant le tableau d’une littérature du désenchantement. Les articles relèvent l’adoption d’une rhétorique qui accorde une grande place à l’ironie, à l’humour et aux jeux discursifs. Ce rapport ludique à la langue et au lecteur permettrait aux écrivains de tourner en ridicule certains discours sociaux, de subvertir l’ordre collectif et ainsi, de contrebalancer leur pessimisme face au monde. Les articles convoquent un corpus d’œuvres varié, parcourant quatre aires géographiques (Afrique, Antilles, Proche-Orient et océan Indien), divers genres littéraires (roman, théâtre, poésie et essai), analysant des auteurs classiques (Aimé Césaire, Édouard Glissant et Cheikh Hamidou Kane) autant que des écrivains peu étudiés jusqu’à ce jour (Salah Stétié, Shenaz Patel et Éliane Kodjo).

Black Paris documents the struggles and successes of three generations of African writers as they strive to establish their artistic, literary, and cultural identities in France. Based on long-term ethnographic, archival, and historical research, the work is enriched by interviews with many writers of the new generation. Bennetta Jules-Rosette explores African writing and identity in France from the early n gritude movement and the founding of the Pr sence Africaine publishing house in 1947 to the mid-1990s. Examining the relationship between African writing and French anthropology as well as the emergence of new styles and discourses, Jules-Rosette covers French Pan-Africanism and the revolutionary writing of the 1960s and 1970s. She also discusses the new generation of African writers who appeared in Paris during the 1980s and 1990s.
