Abstract

Abstract:The terms Black and African American are the products of twentieth-century political and cultural movements that struggled to find terms to define, unite, celebrate, and recognize the heritage and identity of people of African descent in the United States. Today, African American typically refers to the ethnicity, nationality, and culture of Black people residing in or born in the United States. Black typically refers to a racial category and an elastic cultural, ethnic, and, arguably, political identity that is not defined by nationality or geopolitical boundaries. These two terms are only the most recent articulations of a long tradition of collective self-identification that began during the earliest days of slavery and colonialism in the Americas. This essay examines the social and political shifts that engendered new ways of naming Black identity and the names and terminology intellectuals have used to describe people of African descent in the Americas in the past.

黑人和非裔美国人
摘要:“黑人”和“非裔美国人”是20世纪政治和文化运动的产物,这些运动努力寻找术语来定义、团结、庆祝和承认美国非洲人后裔的遗产和身份。今天,非裔美国人通常指居住或出生在美国的黑人的种族、国籍和文化。黑人通常指的是一个种族类别和一种弹性的文化、族裔,可以说是一种政治身份,不受国籍或地缘政治边界的定义。这两个术语只是对始于美洲奴隶制和殖民主义早期的长期集体自我认同传统的最新阐述。这篇文章探讨了产生新的黑人身份命名方式的社会和政治转变,以及知识分子过去用来描述美洲非洲人后裔的名字和术语。
