这卷作了一个重要的索赔领域的黑色法国研究之间的桥梁建设的黑色身份在法国非洲裔美国人的研究。汇集的稿件主要来自编辑们2008年在巴黎召开的一次重要会议。某些最有力的贡献断言个人的声音的经验作为证人和演员在构建和政治的黑人身份在法国，如前言由克里斯蒂安Taubira，法国国民议会议员，和奇妙的情感“给法国的信”由法国-刚果小说家阿兰Mabanckou，这是准备好阅读的新一代学生重新遇到当代法国。在法国与非洲裔美国人的经验，巧妙地描述了在杰克拉马尔的第一人称叙事，并进一步发展了艾莉森布莱克利的尾声的黑人经验在当代欧洲的种族化政治的遭遇，使转移背景下的黑人身份在法国访问了广泛的英语非专业读者。当代提到的黑人身份在法国是一个广泛和完善的历史和文学登记册的一部分，其主要支持者包括共同编辑沿着与突出贡献的卷。本书分为三个部分，大致分为理论、政治和历史三个部分。第一部分将法国黑人的概念化作为一种理论和社会建构，与第一手叙事经验描述相对应。Elisabeth Mudimbe-Boyi和Mamadou Diouf的贡献不仅在法国，而且作为法国-非洲经验的纹理的黑色概念的基础。法国道德和审美价值观的等级制度所暗示的仪式化的划痕和反应策略在非洲裔美国人的文学和文化参考中找到了一些避难所，但这是一个潜在的统一的法语理想主义种族和文化概念的持续破裂，在他们对尼古拉斯·萨科齐臭名昭著的2008年达喀尔演讲的批评中浮出水面。这是加里怀尔德的回归利奥波德桑戈尔的黑人联邦主义的概念，然而，提供了一个历史背景，为Eurafrique作为一个先前阐述和仍然富有成效的呼吁变形的法国，而不是外部化的改革作为一个扩展的殖民地建设，一直掩盖在有关移民政治的辩论。这些贡献建立了一个讲法语的非洲背景下，在当代法国的黑人身份的利害关系不可分割的。
This volume makes an important claim for the field of Black French studies as a bridge between constructions of Black identity in France to African American studies. The contributions assembled were primarily derived from a significant conference in 2008 that the editors convened in Paris. Certain of the most powerful contributions assert a personal voice of experience as witness and actor in the construct and politics of Black identity in France, such as the foreword by Christiane Taubira, member of the French national assembly, and the marvellously affective ‘Letter to France’by the Franco-Congolese novelist Alain Mabanckou, which is primed to be read by a new generation of students encountering contemporary France anew. The encounter of racialising politics in France with the African American experience, as artfully described in the Jack Lamar’s first person narrative, and further developed by Allison Blakley’s coda of the Black experience in contemporary Europe, makes the shifting context for black identity in France accessible to a wide array of Englishlanguage non-specialist readers. Contemporary references to Black identity in France is part of a wide-ranging and well-established historical and literary register, whose major proponents include the co-editors along with the prominent contributors to the volume. The volume itself is divided into three sections, broadly schematised as theory, politics, and history.The first section counterpoints conceptualisations of Blackness in France as a theoretical and social construction to first-hand narrative experiential descriptions. Elisabeth Mudimbe-Boyi and Mamadou Diouf’s contributions underlie a conception of Blackness not merely in France but as the texture of the Franco-African experience. A ritualised tactics of scarification and response implied by hierarchies of moral and aesthetic French values find some refuge in African American literary and cultural references, but it is rather the continual fracturing of a potentially unifying Francophone idealist conception of race and culture that rises to the surface in their critique of Nicolas Sarkozy’s infamous 2008 Dakar speech. It is Gary Wilder’s return to Leopold Senghor’s conceptualisation of black federalism however that provides a historical context for Eurafrique as a previously elaborated and still productive call for a transfigured France, as opposed to the externalisation of reform as an extended colonial construct that has been consistently masked in debates about immigration politics. These contributions set up a Francophone African context as integral to the stakes of black identity in contemporary France.
