In 2010, following the granting of Temporary Protected Status by the US government, more than 1,500 Haitians settled in Mount Olive, a small town in eastern North Carolina. Most of them found work in the meat‐processing plants of the region. Plantation owners founded Mount Olive, and enslaved people built it. Discrimination and exploitation of Black people and immigrants was and remains forceful in this region. This article sketches the history of race relations and racial capitalism in Mount Olive to understand how people of Haitian descent experience both anti‐Black racism and prejudices linked to their ethnicity in rural southeastern US. Far from being passive victims of white supremacy, African Americans, and later Haitians, created practices that enabled them to live on their own terms. This article analyzes the similarities between African American practices of autonomy and present‐day Haitians’ strategies to create spaces where they can belong and thrive. The article argues that economic and spatial practices forged after the 1804 revolution by the Haitian peasantry enable people of Haitian descent to build social and economic systems based on reciprocity and solidarity. These counter‐colonial practices allow people in Mount Olive to live autonomously and away from racist institutions and people.

Mainstream imaginaries of success in the United States tend to center white men. This phenomenon, though increasingly criticized, pervades media systems, which have effectively served as major channels to facilitate, disperse, and popularize such ideals globally. Unsurprisingly, then, US mainstream media institutions have not generally favored non‐white and/or non‐men creators. Via code phrases such as best practices and professionalism, racialized and gendered assumptions continue to shape participatory landscapes of media production. Hence, for many Black women enrolled in formal media education and training programs, schooling's disciplinary norms—alongside society's inclination to mark and marginalize Black women as Other—both frustrate and inspire them to develop cunning, culturally mindful approaches that make use of accessible lessons, resources, and networks without abandoning the social issues and objectives that brought them to media in the first place. Framing their flexible methods of resource procurement and repurposing as projects of media fugitivity, this article explores how Black women navigate the overlapping social, technological, and ideological disciplines of institutional subjecthood and cultivate strategies through which to participate in these schooling infrastructures, while at the same time also protecting themselves from them; redistributing gains accrued in them; and selectively challenging hegemonic asks made, norms modeled, and compliances expected in them.

This article examines racial capitalism from a semiotic perspective, arguing that economic value, like language and race, can be described in situated and indexical terms. I attempt to show how raciolinguistic bias in and around the workplace is linked to a larger labor market in which minoritized labor is reproduced in a systemic way, and to explore hegemonic formations of racialization in the workplace and beyond. The jumping‐off point for much of my argument is the work of the historian and political theorist Cedric Robinson.

This article considers the cultivation of Black life in the face of environmental crisis in the sinking grounds of southeast Louisiana. In dialogue with scholarship in anthropology and geography on Black place‐making and memory, I examine how individual and collective memories of past ecological practices provide counternarratives of ecological demise for the present. Working with the concept of productive nostalgia, I situate my analysis of collective memory via Sylvia Wynter's and Katherine McKittrick's formulations of the plot as a countergeography of the plantation through which Black people cultivate ecologically based self‐reliance, care, and freedom. I use oral history and ethnography to demonstrate how the socioecological ethos of the plot travels across time through collective memory, interrupting present‐day ecological crisis narratives with visions of climate changed futures tied to ecological and racial justice.

A democratization program in postwar Angola offers an example of contemporary development work and its branding: donors’ bureaucratized practice of claiming credit for any attempt at social improvement while simultaneously distancing themselves from failures. Development branding achieves its claims‐making and distancing effects by emphasizing, in institutional narratives of development work, the role of material resources over the larger social contributions of local staff and beneficiaries. Development agencies’ increased bureaucratization, including their focus on branding, is not incidental to the undertaking but an outgrowth of shared histories; bureaucracy as social form, including institutional narratives emphasizing the material, and development as industry are both rooted in racialized and classed systems of hierarchical relations. Branding practices work to conceal and deepen these relations. A complete accounting of development must include attention to how—in form, action, and representation—it perpetuates historical relationships of inequality in addition to documenting their effects.
