  • COMPASSION and CRITIQUE Angela P. Harris*
    COMPASSION AND CRITIQUE Angela P. Harris* INTRODUCTION Where does compassion begin? Perhaps with the experience of caring. Caring happens in the body and in the moment: a quick squirt of oxytocin, a firing of mirror neurons, the sudden perception of a link between the so- called self and the so-called other. Caring is unpredictable and unwilled, a reaction, an eruption along the shifting surfaces between you and not-you, suddenly experienced in the “flinching of an eye.” Kathleen Stewart describes an observer’s emotional reaction to the pain of another: The young miner who showed me the mine put out every cigarette he smoked on his hand, which was covered with scar tissue. Then I saw the other young miners all had the backs of their hands covered with scar tissue . when my eye fell on them it flinched, seeing the burning cigarette being crushed and sensing the pain . The eye does not read the meaning in a sign; it jumps from the mark to the pain and the burning cigarette, and then jumps to the fraternity signaled by * Professor of Law, University of California—Davis (King Hall). Although the participants in this Symposium were instructed to reflect on race and Marxism, I found myself reflecting instead on the work of the Symposium’s organizer, Anthony Paul Farley. His classic treatment of the pleasures of anti-black racism, The Black Body as Fetish-Object, 76 OR. L. REV. 457 (1997), continues to instruct all who read it, and his writing and speaking—laced always with compassion and outrage—reminds me to watch out and take care.

  • Towards a Unified Theory Analysing Workplace Ideologies: Marxism And
    Marxism and Racial Oppression: Towards a Unified Theory Charles Post (City University of New York) Half a century ago, the revival of the womens movementsecond wave feminismforced the revolutionary left and Marxist theory to revisit the Womens Question. As historical materialists in the 1960s and 1970s grappled with the relationship between capitalism, class and gender, two fundamental positions emerged. The dominant response was dual systems theory. Beginning with the historically correct observation that male domination predates the emergence of the capitalist mode of production, these theorists argued that contemporary gender oppression could only be comprehended as the result of the interaction of two separate systemsa patriarchal system of gender domination and the capitalist mode of production. The alternative approach emerged from the debates on domestic labor and the predominantly privatized character of the social reproduction of labor-power under capitalism. In 1979, Lise Vogel synthesized an alternative unitary approach that rooted gender oppression in the tensions between the increasingly socialized character of (most) commodity production and the essentially privatized character of the social reproduction of labor-power. Today, dual-systems theory has morphed into intersectionality where distinct systems of class, gender, sexuality and race interact to shape oppression, exploitation and identity. This paper attempts to begin the construction of an outline of a unified theory of race and capitalism. The paper begins by critically examining two Marxian approaches. On one side are those like Ellen Meiksins Wood who argued that capitalism is essentially color-blind and can reproduce itself without racial or gender oppression. On the other are those like David Roediger and Elizabeth Esch who argue that only an intersectional analysis can allow historical materialists to grasp the relationship of capitalism and racial oppression.

    71 5 LITTLE PINK White fragility and black social death ylvA HAbel Human Life is dependent on black death for its existence and for its con- ceptual coherence. There is no World without blacks, yet there are no blacks who are in the World. The Black is indeed a sentient being, but the constric- tion of Humanist thought is a constitutive disavowal of blackness as social death; a disavowal that theorizes the Black as a degraded human entity. (Wilderson, 2016) Drawing on the intellectual work of afro- pessimist scholars such as Frank B. Wilderson III, I want to elucidate the ways in which blackness and black life have become contested, unfathomable ‘objects’ in Swedish mainstream media debates. I locate my discussion at the interface between those debates, afro- pessimist legacies and my position as a black film and media scholar before, during, and after the release of the animated children’s film Liten Skär och Alla Små Brokiga [Little Pink and The Motley Crew] (Stina Wirsén, Sweden, 2012). My aim is to examine the ways in which the film’s pickaninny figure, Little Heart, and the hurtfulness of this stereotype were discussed and contested in the debate around the film. I argue that the debate ended up producing a sense of white fragility as a priority instead of dealing with anti- black racism, its consequences for black people, and its ongoing main- tenance through representation. Before I delve into the turbulent reception of the film, let me first begin by saying something about the partly auto- ethnographical point of departure for this text.

Journal of Negro Education, 69(1/2), 60. This article is geared for both faculty and staff and demonstrates how microagressions and identification can affect performance of students. It also gives some good concrete ideas, like the Psychology of Success classes, for solving some of the issues. Abstract: Microagressions are subtle insults (verbal, nonverbal, and/or visual) directed toward people of color, often automatically or unconsciously. Using critical race theory as a framework, the study described in this article provides an examination of racial microagressions and how they influence the collegiate racial climate. Using focus group interview data from African American students at three universities, it reveals that racial microagressions exist in both academic and social spaces in the collegiate environment. The study shows how African American students experience and respond to racial microagressions. It also demonstrates how racial microagressions have a negative impact on the campus racial climate.
