Abstract:In the 70 years since E. Franklin Frazier published The Negro Family in the United States (1948), black communities have witnessed the arrival of black immigrants in unprecedented numbers. Literature on this population suggests that, although African American, African, and Afro-Caribbean families are similarly marginalized by the resuscitation of antiblack practices, they fail to locate refuge in one another. Racial stereotypes work internally to distort and degrade their perception of the "other." African Americans doubt the authenticity of the foreign-born families that move into their neighborhoods or purchase local businesses, while black immigrants conceive of native-born parents as unmotivated and their children as self-destructive.A study of this intraracial, cross-ethnic dynamic, this paper attends to black mothers—those traditionally cast as the bearers of black familial pathology. Using original ethnographic research with native-born and foreign-born black mothers in the city of Hartford, Connecticut, the text posits that black mothers migrate across ethnic borders to yield a motherline—a collective of mothers that not only mutually rears their children but also sees them through the structural and ideological forces that reduce their lives to precarity. Their love for their children stirs a need and a want to align with those whose grievances mirror their own. Amid critical and reflective dialogue about the boundaries that separate them, these mothers jointly forge kinship structures that brace their children for external racial assaults. This close examination of black maternal boundary crossings captures the possibilities of black love on borderlands widely considered marred.
摘要:弗雷泽出版《美国黑人家庭》(1948)以来的70年里,黑人社区见证了空前数量的黑人移民的到来。关于这一群体的文献表明,尽管非裔美国人、非洲裔和加勒比裔家庭同样被反黑人实践的复苏边缘化,但他们未能在彼此身上找到庇护。种族刻板印象在内部起作用,扭曲和贬低他们对“他者”的看法。非裔美国人怀疑那些搬到他们社区或收购当地企业的外国出生家庭的真实性,而黑人移民则认为本土出生的父母没有动力,他们的孩子有自我毁灭的倾向。为了研究这种种族间、跨种族的动态,本文关注黑人母亲——那些传统上被视为黑人家族病理的承担者。通过对康涅狄格州哈特福德市本土出生和外国出生的黑人母亲的原始人种学研究,这本书假设黑人母亲跨越种族边界迁移,形成了一个母系——一群母亲不仅共同抚养孩子,而且还通过结构和意识形态的力量来看待他们,这些力量使他们的生活变得不稳定。他们对孩子的爱激起了一种需要,一种想要与那些不满反映了他们自己的人结盟的愿望。在关于分隔她们的界限的批判性和反思性对话中,这些母亲共同建立了亲属关系结构,为孩子抵御外部种族攻击提供了支撑。这本关于黑人母亲越界的仔细研究,抓住了黑人在被广泛认为是已婚的边境地区相爱的可能性。

The Repast: Self and Collective Love in the Face of Black Death 《晚餐:面对黑死病的自我与集体之爱

Abstract:This essay begins with the idea and practice of the repast or repass as it has come to evolve vernacularly over the years. Traditionally, this practice of community, food, and fellowship, usually partaken after a funeral or burial ceremony, is representative of one's ability and the necessity to continue with life in the face of the realities of death. Attacks on black life have remained a constant, with various manifestations spanning historically from the treacheries of slavery to the social inequities that form the present conditions of marginalized blackness. Racialized disparities in health, as well as the more blatant and growing incidences of police brutality, further evidence the complex proximity of black life and death. This essay argues that articulations of self and collective black love and resilience underscore the practice and meaning of the repast for black communities and also represent an important mechanism for black mental, emotional, and ultimately physical survival. Moreover, I argue that black communities are constantly participating in the repast where, in the midst of death, there is an attempt to continue to nurture and care take for oneself and others. In this way, the repast becomes a statement/metaphor for the black condition. This article also includes a critical examination of the roles of "mothering" and "motherwork" that serve as important anchors within processes of black collective love.
摘要:本文从多年来在方言中演变的就餐或重传的概念和实践开始。传统上,这种社区、食物和友谊的做法通常在葬礼或葬礼仪式之后进行,代表了一个人在面对死亡的现实时继续生活的能力和必要性。对黑人生活的攻击一直是一种常态,从历史上对奴隶制的背叛到形成黑人边缘化现状的社会不平等,其表现形式多种多样。健康方面的种族差异,以及越来越明显和日益增加的警察暴力事件,进一步证明了黑人生命和死亡的复杂接近。本文认为,自我和集体黑人的爱和韧性的表达强调了黑人社区的实践和意义,也代表了黑人精神、情感和最终身体生存的重要机制。此外,我认为黑人社区不断地参与到这场盛宴中,在死亡之中,他们试图继续养育和照顾自己和他人。通过这种方式,餐点成为了对黑人状况的陈述/隐喻。本文还包括对“母性”和“母性工作”的角色的批判性检查,这些角色在黑人集体爱的过程中起着重要的锚作用。

The Marketability of Black Joy: After "I Do" in Black Romance Film 黑人欢乐的市场性:在黑人爱情电影《我愿意》之后

Abstract:An unprecedented number of films directed and often written and produced by African Americans offering coupling conventions or the marriage plot as a trope began emerging at the close of the twentieth century and have continued with strong popularity into the twenty-first. The initial emergence of these films came on the tail of vicious debates and public rhetoric about dysfunctional African American families. As a means of talking back, or perhaps even conforming to social policy, black film embraced marriage plots. Most of the films, however, end with a wedding, which prevents audiences the opportunity to imagine a status—marriage—that the media, politicians, social scientists, and popular culture propose is antithetical to blackness. Ending with the wedding begs the question: What happens after "I do?" Malcolm Lee's The Best Man (1999) and its long-awaited sequel The Best Man Holiday (2013) offer spectators a fairytale story of black success and black love after "I do." Because Lee's film enterprise imagines black marriage after the wedding, it is a useful case study for how narratives of blackness in the realm of popular culture talk back to popular public sphere narratives of unmarriageable black women, criminalized black men, and wayward black children. Ultimately, The Best Man Holiday is a what I call a "black-black" film that, through its depiction of black marriage and black children, enables blackness to function as an analytic that gives meaning to black joy in twenty-first century popular culture.
摘要:20世纪末,由非裔美国人导演、编写和制作的以婚恋惯例或婚姻情节为主题的电影数量空前,并在21世纪继续受到强烈欢迎。这些电影最初出现在关于非裔美国人家庭失调的恶性辩论和公开言论的后面。作为一种反击的手段,或者甚至是顺应社会政策,黑人电影包含了婚姻情节。然而,大多数电影都以一场婚礼结尾,这让观众无法想象媒体、政治家、社会科学家和流行文化所提出的与黑人对立的地位婚姻。以婚礼结尾引出了一个问题:“我愿意”之后会发生什么?马尔科姆·李的《最好的男人》(1999)和期待已久的续集《最好的男人假期》(2013)在《我愿意》之后,为观众提供了一个关于黑人成功和黑人爱情的童话故事。因为李安的电影事业想象了黑人婚后的婚姻,它是一个有用的案例研究,研究流行文化领域的黑人叙事如何与流行的公共领域的黑人女性、被定罪的黑人男性和任性的黑人儿童的叙事相对应。最终,《伴郎假日》是一部我称之为“黑-黑”的电影,它通过对黑人婚姻和黑人孩子的描绘,使黑人成为一种分析,为21世纪流行文化中的黑人快乐赋予了意义。

Still Unmarried: Black Women and Relationship Advice Literature 仍然未婚:黑人女性和关系建议文学
Pub Date : 2019-12-16 DOI: 10.5406/womgenfamcol.7.2.0182

Abstract:This article examines the ways in which racial patriarchal tropes from E. Franklin Frazier's The Negro Family in the United States (1939) and Daniel Patrick Moynihan's public-policy report The Negro Family: The Case for National Action (1965) have been reconstructed for the present via relationship-advice literature marketed to heterosexual black women under the guise of love and increasing the rate of black marriage. A close analysis of the connection between historic pathological narratives of the black family and the current self-help genre exposes racial and gendered politics, concessions, and negotiations within the black community. Utilizing popular relationship-advice literature that achieved New York Times bestseller list status—Steve Harvey's Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man (2009), Tyrese Gibson and Rev. Run's Manology: Secrets of Your Man's Mind Revealed (2013)—this article focuses on the culturally embedded linkages among the concepts of worthiness for respect, sexual propriety (chiefly in heterosexist terms), and behavioral decorum—especially when directed at women. It also looks at the gate-keeping function these norms serve in regulating and limiting black women's right to full political and social recognition. In so doing, this article reveals the ways in which relationship-advice literature maintains black women's subordinate position within the black community, as well as within the dominant white society.
摘要:本文考察了富兰克林·弗雷泽(E. Franklin Frazier)的《美国黑人家庭》(1939)和丹尼尔·帕特里克·莫伊尼汉(Daniel Patrick Moynihan)的公共政策报告《黑人家庭:国家行动的案例》(1965)中的种族父权修辞是如何通过以爱情和提高黑人结婚率为幌子,向异性恋黑人女性推销的关系建议文学来重建的。对黑人家庭的历史病理叙述与当前自助类型之间联系的仔细分析揭示了黑人社区内的种族和性别政治,让步和谈判。本文利用了《纽约时报》畅销书排行榜上的流行恋爱建议文学——史蒂夫·哈维的《像女人一样行动,像男人一样思考》(2009年),泰瑞斯·吉布森和Rev. Run的《男性学:揭露你男人思想的秘密》(2013年)——重点关注了值得尊重的概念、性礼仪(主要是异性恋者的术语)和行为礼仪——尤其是针对女性的概念之间的文化内在联系。它还研究了这些规范在调节和限制黑人妇女获得充分政治和社会承认的权利方面的把关功能。在此过程中,这篇文章揭示了恋爱建议文学在黑人社区中以及在占主导地位的白人社会中维持黑人女性从属地位的方式。

"For Women, Life Is Right Hard": When Frazier's Subjects Speak for Themselves “对女人来说,生活是艰难的”:当弗雷泽的主题为自己说话时
Pub Date : 2019-12-16 DOI: 10.5406/womgenfamcol.7.2.0113

Abstract:While Howard University sociologist E. Franklin Frazier's sociological materials have been criticized for contributing to the pathologization of black working-class womanhood, Frazier's interviews also offer a rich archive from which to cull the complexities of inner life that transcend the instrumental renderings of black pathology and the narrow configurations of black women's urban migration experiences. Specifically, this archive accentuates interiority and brings into relief conceptions of self as articulated by black poor and working-class women themselves. The African American mothers interviewed for E. Franklin Frazier's Washington, DC, interwar project on black adolescent personality development took advantage of interviewers' listening ears, sometimes ignoring specific questions to instead share personal stories and unsolicited political ideologies and analytical frameworks. What comes through are narratives of lived experiences, thoughts, feelings, and beliefs that highlight deliberations on sex and sexuality, the institution of marriage, childbearing and childrearing, New Negro conceptualizations of gender, domesticity, and ways in which black women asserted authorial control over their bodies. These articulations suggest (and sometimes exclaim) a desire to speak, a desire for an audience, a desire to be heard and recognized, and demonstrate that black poor and working-class women had a complex, ambivalent relationship to the concepts of both double consciousness and dissemblance.
摘要:虽然霍华德大学社会学家E. Franklin Frazier的社会学材料因对黑人工人阶级女性的病态化做出了贡献而受到批评,但Frazier的访谈也提供了丰富的档案,从中可以筛选出内在生活的复杂性,这些复杂性超越了黑人病理学的工具呈现和黑人女性城市移民经历的狭隘配置。具体来说,这个档案强调了内在性,并带来了黑人穷人和工人阶级妇女自己所表达的自我概念。富兰克林·弗雷泽(E. Franklin Frazier)在华盛顿特区主持的两次世界大战之间的黑人青少年人格发展项目中,接受采访的非裔美国母亲们利用了采访者的倾听,有时会忽略具体问题,而是分享个人故事、主动提出的政治意识形态和分析框架。通过对生活经历、思想、感情和信仰的叙述,突出了对性和性的思考,婚姻制度,生育和抚养孩子,新黑人对性别的概念,家庭生活,以及黑人女性对自己身体的权威控制方式。这些表达表明(有时是惊呼)一种说话的欲望,一种对听众的渴望,一种被倾听和被认可的渴望,并表明黑人穷人和工人阶级妇女与双重意识和伪装的概念有着复杂而矛盾的关系。

Fugitive Literati: Black Girls' Writing as a Tool of Kinship and Power at the Howard School 逃亡的文人:黑人女孩的写作作为亲属关系和权力的工具在霍华德学校

Abstract:Teaching black children how to survive on their own was one of the primary goals of the Howard Orphanage and Industrial School (1868–1918) in New York. One skill, penmanship, proved to be particularly important for orphaned girls. "Fugitive Literati" examines an incident involving one of the institution's former residents, a sixteen-year-old black girl domestic, who used her writing to resist being forced to marry a man who may have sexually assaulted her. Using black feminist thought to read the loud silences in the Howard Orphanage and Industrial School's letters, I argue that the girl's case shows how orphaned black girls used the "written word" to navigate power relations in the workplace and actively construct their desired kinship networks for survival. Further, I contend that the silences around the girl's case in the archive tell of a strategy of dissemblance or the unique family-like veil of privacy within the institution.
摘要:教育黑人儿童如何独立生存是纽约霍华德孤儿院和工业学校(1868-1918)的主要目标之一。其中一项技能,书法,对孤儿来说尤为重要。《逃亡的文人》考察了一个事件,涉及该机构的一个前居民,一个16岁的黑人家庭女孩,她用她的写作来抵抗被迫嫁给一个可能对她进行性侵犯的男人。用黑人女权主义思想来解读霍华德孤儿院和工业学校信件中的沉默,我认为这个女孩的案例显示了孤儿黑人女孩如何使用“书面文字”来处理工作场所的权力关系,并积极构建她们想要的生存亲属网络。此外,我认为档案中对女孩案件的沉默表明了一种掩饰策略,或者是机构内独特的家庭般的隐私面纱。

When Social Media Yields More than "Likes": Black Girls' Digital Kinship Formations 当社交媒体产生的不仅仅是“喜欢”:黑人女孩的数字亲属关系形成

Abstract:This article explores the tenets of Black girls' digital kinship by detailing an ethnographic study in which I developed and taught an elective course for a group of Black high school girls. I use my participant-observation from a five-month period teaching these students in order to argue that there is mutual mediation between kinship and digital production. I define digital kinship as a relational practice through which familial ties—with both origin family and chosen family—are established and/or maintained through digital technologies. Contextualizing my definition of digital kinship within the literatures of Black American family structures and digital community-building, I show how Black girls' offline familial ties appear in and/or influence their content on digital platforms such as Face-book and Snapchat along with what kinds of factors lead to the establishment of kin relationships within digital spaces specifically. Ultimately, I analyze the digital kinships formed by the girls in my class to conclude that digital spaces create more possibilities for Black girls to form support networks and exercise an agency to control space often denied them in their everyday school and home environments.
摘要:本文通过详细介绍一项民族志研究,探讨了黑人女孩数字亲属关系的原则。在这项研究中,我为一群黑人高中女孩开发并教授了一门选修课。为了证明亲属关系和数字生产之间存在着相互的中介作用,我在教授这些学生的五个月期间进行了参与者观察。我将数字亲属定义为一种关系实践,通过这种关系实践,家庭关系——包括原生家庭和选择家庭——通过数字技术建立和/或维持。在美国黑人家庭结构和数字社区建设的文献中,我对数字亲属关系的定义进行了背景化,我展示了黑人女孩的线下家庭关系如何出现在和/或影响他们在facebook和Snapchat等数字平台上的内容,以及具体是哪些因素导致了数字空间中亲属关系的建立。最后,我分析了我班上女孩形成的数字亲属关系,得出结论:数字空间为黑人女孩创造了更多的可能性,让她们形成支持网络,并行使一种权力,来控制她们在日常学校和家庭环境中经常被剥夺的空间。

In the Life: On Black Queer Kinship 在生活中:黑人酷儿亲属关系

Abstract:In this short piece, the author stages a poetic and performative conversation between himself and the black queer figures he imagines as his chosen-family tree. This piece is an attempt to linger in the black queer inventiveness that is as much tethered to a real and imagined past as it is to all possible radical black futures.
摘要:在这篇短文中,作者与他想象中的黑人酷儿人物进行了一场富有诗意和表演性的对话。这件作品试图停留在黑人酷儿的创造力中,这种创造力与真实和想象的过去联系在一起,与所有可能的激进黑人未来联系在一起。
