Fugitive Learning: Countering Postracialism and Making Black Life at UniversityReviewsAgainst the mirage of Canada as a postracialist promised land, Philip S.S. Howard provides an exhaustive mediation on blackface incidents in Canadian universities and beyond as indicative of the manifold afterlives of slavery that we all inhabit. Both path-breaking and original, Performing Postracialism is a trenchantly timely book. - Alexander Ghedi Weheliye, Professor of African American Studies, Northwestern University The sticky persistence of race and racism comes under significant scrutiny in Performing Postracialism. Taking the practice of blackface as its starting point, Howard powerfully demonstrates how ideas about Black people and Blackness embedded in blackface not only shapes Black peoples' lives, but also structures practices and institutional forms of dominance in Canada and beyond. This work is a major reminder that blackface remains not only present with us, but that it underwrites our current encounters, especially so in educational contexts which are among the most potent for fashioning futures for continued injustice and potential justice. Performing Postracialism is a necessary and urgent account of the persistence of raciological thinking as a founding technology of Canadian-ness. - Rinaldo Walcott, author of The Long Emancipation: Moving Toward Black Freedom Author InformationPhilip S.S. Howard is an associate professor in the Department of Integrated Studies in Education at McGill University. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
