White Negroes: When Cornrows Were In Vogue and Other Thoughts on Cultural Appropriation (Beacon Press, 11/12)
Lauren Michele Jackson
Don't miss Lauren Michele Jackson, Wed. 11/20 at the Co-op. See details here.
Weaving together media scholarship and cultural critique, Jackson re-situates cultural appropriation as more than just a new buzzword. It is, she contends, simply another chapter in the long history of whiteness thriving at the expense, stolen labor and ingenuity of Black people. Further, her interrogation and exposure of the interracial antagonism resting on the other side of appropriation unravels behavior that feels normal only because it is common.
Piercing, audacious, and bursting with pop-culture touchstones, White Negroes introduces a bold new voice in Jackson. Her debut is both a love letter to the creativity of Black folks and an urgent call for more thoughtful consumption by those who consider themselves "allies."
Negotiating Latinidad: Intralatina/o Lives in Chicago
(University of Illinois Press)
Frances R. Aparicio
Longstanding Mexican and Puerto Rican populations have helped make people of mixed nationalities—MexiGuatemalans, CubanRicans, and others—an important part of Chicago's Latina/o scene. Yet we seldom consider the lives and work of these Intralatino/as when we discuss Latino/as in the United States. In Negotiating Latinidad, a cross section of Chicago's second-generation Intralatino/as offer their experiences of negotiating between and among the national communities embedded in their families. Their narratives explore both the ongoing complexities of family life and the challenges of fitting into our larger society, in particular the struggle to claim a space—and a sense of belonging—in a Latina/o America that remains highly segmented in scholarship. The result is an emotionally powerful, theoretically rigorous exploration of culture, hybridity, and transnationalism that points the way forward for future scholarship on Intralatino/a identity.
