The specific topic will be: "Who is Black?" The touchy theme of "colorism" will be tackled by journalist and the show's producer, Soledad Obrien. Ms. Obrien self-identifies as a Black female. A Black Latina, to be exact. (Afro-Cuban mother, white Australian father). Should be enlightening.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01896531632878621005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7595398753131290281.post-35871071121059032402012-04-25T19:52:34.883+02:002012-04-25T19:52:34.883+02:00This lecture addresses much of content of this pos...This lecture addresses much of content of this post and IMO in a very positive way. Whatever we perceive our differences to be our socio-political circumstances are all very similar whichever culture-linguistic group we find ourselves among.

I read one of Livio Sansone's book (Dutch) ‘Schitteren in de schaduw overlevingsstrategieën, subcultuur en etniciteit van Creoolse jongeren uit de lagere klasse in Amsterdam 1981-1990, uit 1992’ , (‘Shining in the shadow survival strategies, subculture and ethnicity Among lower class Creole Men in Amsterdam 1981-1990 from 1992’ ). <br /><br />You wrote that in one of the chapters of his book ‘Blackness Without Ethnicity’ (2003) “he even goes further and is based on his research among black youth in Amsterdam compared to black youth in Bahia and Rio. “ I think this based on the book ‘Shining in the shadow’ .<br /> <br />In my short political career I remember his book ‘Shining in the shadow’ was used to generate policy ideas, because he had linked ethnicity, identity and work ethic of black Surinamese youth to their social problems. One of his conclusions was that the black culture of lower class Surinamese was the cause of their unemployment. Needless to say, his ideas received wide media attention. <br /><br />I am not saying that Sansone has totally missed the point in this book, but some of his conclusions were a little bit questionable. <br /><br />Before I forget, two interesting Black Atlantic links:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.tate.org.uk/liverpool/exhibitions/afromodernism/default.shtm" rel="nofollow">Afro Modern: Journeys through the Black Atlantic, Tate Liverpool 29 January – 25 April 2010</a><br /><br /><a href="http://blackatlanticresource.wordpress.com/tag/afro-modern/" rel="nofollow">Black Atlantic Resource Debate</a>Afro-Europehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09824302981015575893noreply@blogger.com
