TRIANGULATING RACISM: FRENCH AND FRANCOPHONE AFRICAN REACTIONS TO THE AFRICAN AMERICAN FREEDOM MOVEMENT (1954-1968) by ALLYSON TADJER Under the Direction of Denise Davidson, PhD, and Michelle Brattain, PhD ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the meanings and significance of the African American freedom movement for the French and Francophone Africans at the momentous juncture of decolonization. By analyzing the French and Francophone African press, as well as the writings of French and Francophone African intellectuals, this project demonstrates that American racial events of the 1950s and 1960s allowed both communities to begin a reflection on the phenomenon of French racism. In particular, the French historical traditions of universalism and egalitarianism, important pillars of French colonial discourse, shaped the French and Francophone African responses to American racism. French and Francophone Africans’ frequent comparisons between the American racial context and the French colonial and national contexts reveal that while American racial events were evocative of French racial prejudice, a deep attachment to the France of 1789 precluded the two groups from assessing French racism fairly. Marxism, a political theory that found its way in French colonies in the late 1930s and a major intellectual current in postwar France, largely influenced French and Francophone African reactions to the African American freedom movement. The French and Francophone Africans’ adherence to a Marxian metanarrative of oppression especially allowed them to build parallels between American racism and French colonial and racial oppression. However, the global and systematic dimensions of a Marxian, if not Marxist, analysis of these phenomena also precluded the French and Francophone Africans from engaging in a particularistic evaluation of French racial prejudices. By highlighting the ways in which the French nation-state shaped both the French and Francophone African responses to American racial events and reflections on French racism, this dissertation adds a line in the scholarly story of the “French imperial nation-state.” In addition to offering a revisionist take on French popular and academic narratives regarding the rise of French racial awareness, which those narratives locate at the turn of the 21st century, my analyses and conclusions shatter the mythical, and still widely held, assumption that the global “race war” of the 1950s and 1960s had created a powerful sense of racial identification among blacks of Africa and the African diaspora.

I also wish to give a special thanks to my husband for his patience and his valuable help in this, at times, trying intellectual experiment. Without my parents and husband’s financial and moral support, this task would have been far more arduous, if not impossible. I was also fortunate to work with wonderful scholars and fellow graduate students. I would like to start by acknowledging my academic advisor and chair of my dissertation committee, Dr. Denise Davidson. Her availability and intellectual and professional guidance have played a monumental role in this enterprise. Dr. Davidson has been far more than an academic mentor; her kind encouragements throughout this process have allowed me to keep faith in my project and to brave some of the psychological discomfort that is more often than not a part of this experiment. I also want to thank the co-chair, Dr. Michelle Brattain, and members of the dissertation committee, Dr. Jacqueline Rouse and Dr. Tyler Stovall. Through seminars and various discussions with Dr. Brattain and Dr. Rouse, I have obtained precious insights on the subjects of racism and the African American freedom movement and enjoyed their kind support. Finally, I want to express a special thanks to Dr. Stovall who kindly accepted to serve as an external member of my committee and whose scholarship significantly inspired my own research. Members of my dissertation group, Dylan Ruediger, Sara Patenaude, Mindy Clegg, and Lauren Thompson, all deserve heartfelt thanks for reading and commenting on multiple chapter drafts and for being supportive friends. In conclusion, I am also grateful to all the faculty and fellow graduate students at Georgia State University who have provided me with intellectual guidance and moral support. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ............................................................................................. v LIST OF FIGURES ........................................................................................................ vii Introduction: The African American Freedom Movement and the French “Racial Question” ............................................................................................................. 7 Chapter 1: French Leftist Intellectuals and the American Racial Context: From a Theorization of Colonial Racism to a Revolutionary Thirdworldism ......... 26 Chapter 2: The African American Freedom Movement in Antiracist Droit et Liberté and Nationalist Rivarol ...................................................................... 76 Chapter 3: Debating the African American Freedom Movement: The French Mainstream Press and Decolonization ......................................................... 125 Chapter 4: Between Afrocentrism and Marxism: Francophone African Intellectuals’ Engagement with the African American Freedom Movement .......................................................................................................................... 182 Chapter 5: Building a Nation or Re-building the World: The Francophone African Press on the African American Freedom Movement .................................. 238 Conclusion: Double Tragedies? ................................................................................... 287 REFERENCES .............................................................................................................. 294 vii LIST OF FIGURES Figure 1: “Piscine: Ceci nous amènera-t-il cela?” Droit et Liberté, July-August 1964. 124 Figure 2: Rivarol, August 29, 1963. ............................................................................... 125 Figure 3: L’Humanité, September 25, 1957.................................................................... 180 Figure 4: Jacques Kamb, L’Humanité, July 21, 1964. .................................................... 181 Figure 5: Jacques Kamb, L’Humanité, March 13, 1965. ................................................ 182 INTRODUCTION: THE AFRICAN AMERICAN FREEDOM MOVEMENT AND THE FRENCH “RACIAL QUESTION” In 1957, African American author James Balwin, who had resided in France for almost a decade, decided to return to the United States. Like black American authors Richard Wright and Chester Himes, Baldwin’s exile to France was largely motivated by the desire to escape racist America.1 The onset of the Algerian war of independence quickly transformed Baldwin’s view of French racial exceptionalism. Observing Frenchmen’s treatment of Algerians in Paris, Baldwin concluded that the latter were France’s “niggers.”2 The shocking presence of racism in France and the ongoing struggle his black compatriots were waging in the U.S. in the name of racial equality ultimately convinced Baldwin that his place was across the Atlantic.3 The story of Baldwin’s

  • The Sarkozy Effect France’S New Presidential Dynamic J.G
    Politics & Diplomacy The Sarkozy Effect France’s New Presidential Dynamic J.G. Shields Nicolas Sarkozy’s presidential campaign was predicated on the J.G. Shields is an associate professor of need for change in France, for a break—“une rupture”—with the French Studies at the past. His election as president of the French Republic on 6 University of Warwick in England. He is the first May 2007 ushered in the promise of a new era. Sarkozy’s pres- holder of the American idency follows those of the Socialist François Mitterrand Political Science Associ- ation's Stanley Hoff- (1981-95) and the neo-Gaullist Jacques Chirac (1995-2007), mann Award (2007) for who together occupied France’s highest political office for his writing on French more than a quarter-century. Whereas Mitterrand and Chirac politics. bowed out in their seventies, Sarkozy comes to office aged only fifty-two. For the first time, the French Fifth Republic has a president born after the Second World War, as well as a presi- dent of direct immigrant descent.1 Sarkozy’s emphatic victory, with 53 percent of the run-off vote against the Socialist Ségolène Royal, gave him a clear mandate for reform. The near-record turnout of 84 percent for both rounds of the election reflected the public demand for change. The legislative elections of June 2007, which assured a strong majority in the National Assembly for Sarkozy’s centre-right Union pour un Mouvement Populaire (UMP), cleared the way for implementing his agenda over the next five years.2 This article examines the political context within which Sarkozy was elected to power, the main proposals of his presidential program, the challenges before him, and his prospects for bringing real change to a France that is all too evidently in need of reform.

  • Kunene's Shaka and the Idea of the Poet As Teacher
    Kunene's Shaka and the Idea of the Poet as Teacher JOHN HAYNES I IN AN ESSAY PUBLISHED a year after the English version of Emperor Shaka the Great, Mazisi Kunene writes that "Classical African literature takes it as its primary strategy to broaden the base of the characters through mythification and symbolism" ("Relevance" 200). As he says in the poem itself, "Indeed, artists embellish their past to inspire their children" ( 166 ). What I want to look at is the trend of this mythification and embellish• ment. In doing this I shall not make any claims about the capacity of a poem to change people's attitudes or actions, nor will I deal with the ways in which a poem, as opposed to some other genre, might achieve such a goal. These are very vexed questions, neither of which has been tackled by African critics, even those who emphasize the traditional African artist's role of teacher. All I can claim is that if literature can have any bearing on political or social circumstance it is likely to be at times of crisis, such as we see now in Kunene's country, when people can be expected to reflect on the meaning of what they are doing and suffering. Yet we have to remember that what readers (or hearers) take from a work of art is affected by the attitudes they bring to it, and the social structures within which it is experi• enced — the school, the political party, exile, and so on. I will attempt, at the end of this account, to relate the implied "teach• ing" of Kunene's poem to present events, but I cannot pretend to comment, since I do not have anything like sufficient knowl• edge, nor indeed sufficient experience.

  • White by Law---Haney Lopez (Abridged Version)
    White by Law The Legal Construction of Race Revised and Updated 10th Anniversary Edition Ian Haney Lόpez NEW YORK UNIVERSITY PRESS New York and London (2006) 1│White Lines In its first words on the subject of citizenship, Congress in 1790 restricted naturalization to “white persons.” Though the requirements for naturalization changed frequently thereafter, this racial prerequisite to citizenship endured for over a century and a half, remaining in force until 1952. From the earliest years of this country until just a generation ago, being a “white person” was a condition for acquiring citizenship. Whether one was “white” however, was often no easy question. As immigration reached record highs at the turn of this century, countless people found themselves arguing their racial identity in order to naturalize. From 1907, when the federal government began collecting data on naturalization, until 1920, over one million people gained citizenship under the racially restrictive naturalization laws. Many more sought to naturalize and were rejected. Naturalization rarely involved formal court proceedings and therefore usually generated few if any written records beyond the simple decision. However, a number of cases construing the “white person” prerequisite reached the highest state and federal judicial circles, and two were argued before the U.S. Supreme Court in the early 1920s. These cases produced illuminating published decisions that document the efforts of would-be citizens from around the world to establish their Whiteness at law. Applicants from Hawaii, China, Japan, Burma, and the Philippines, as well as all mixed- race applicants, failed in their arguments. Conversely, courts ruled that applicants from Mexico and Armenia were “white,” but vacillated over the Whiteness of petitioners from Syria, India, and Arabia.

  • Questioning Whiteness: “Who Is White?”
    人間生活文化研究 Int J Hum Cult Stud. No. 29 2019 Questioning Whiteness: “Who is white?” ―A case study of Barbados and Trinidad― Michiru Ito1 1International Center, Otsuma Women’s University 12 Sanban-cho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan 102-8357 Key words：Whiteness, Caribbean, Barbados, Trinidad, Oral history Abstract This paper seeks to produce knowledge of identity as European-descended white in the Caribbean islands of Barbados and Trinidad, where the white populations account for 2.7% and 0.7% respectively, of the total population. Face-to-face individual interviews were conducted with 29 participants who are subjectively and objectively white, in August 2016 and February 2017 in order to obtain primary data, as a means of creating oral history. Many of the whites in Barbados recognise their interracial family background, and possess no reluctance for having interracial marriage and interracial children. They have very weak attachment to white hegemony. On contrary, white Trinidadians insist on their racial purity as white and show their disagreement towards interracial marriage and interracial children. The younger generations in both islands say white supremacy does not work anymore, yet admit they take advantage of whiteness in everyday life. The elder generation in Barbados say being white is somewhat disadvantageous, but their Trinidadian counterparts are very proud of being white which is superior form of racial identity. The paper revealed the sense of colonial superiority is rooted in the minds of whites in Barbados and Trinidad, yet the younger generations in both islands tend to deny the existence of white privilege and racism in order to assimilate into the majority of the society, which is non-white.

  • And the Hamitic Hypothesis
    religions Article Ancient Egyptians in Black and White: ‘Exodus: Gods and Kings’ and the Hamitic Hypothesis Justin Michael Reed Department of Biblical Studies, Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary, Louisville, KY 40205, USA; [email protected] Abstract: In this essay, I consider how the racial politics of Ridley Scott’s whitewashing of ancient Egypt in Exodus: Gods and Kings intersects with the Hamitic Hypothesis, a racial theory that asserts Black people’s inherent inferiority to other races and that civilization is the unique possession of the White race. First, I outline the historical development of the Hamitic Hypothesis. Then, I highlight instances in which some of the most respected White intellectuals from the late-seventeenth through the mid-twentieth century deploy the hypothesis in assertions that the ancient Egyptians were a race of dark-skinned Caucasians. By focusing on this detail, I demonstrate that prominent White scholars’ arguments in favor of their racial kinship with ancient Egyptians were frequently burdened with the insecure admission that these ancient Egyptian Caucasians sometimes resembled Negroes in certain respects—most frequently noted being skin color. In the concluding section of this essay, I use Scott’s film to point out that the success of the Hamitic Hypothesis in its racial discourse has transformed a racial perception of the ancient Egyptian from a dark-skinned Caucasian into a White person with appearance akin to Northern European White people. Keywords: Ham; Hamite; Egyptian; Caucasian; race; Genesis 9; Ridley Scott; Charles Copher; Samuel George Morton; James Henry Breasted Citation: Reed, Justin Michael. 2021.

  • The South African National Poet Laureate Prize for Mazisi Kunene
    Untitled Document The South African National Poet Laureate Prize for Mazisi Kunene. (March 5 th 2005 at the Durban International Convention Centre) by Ntongela Masilela It is an incomparable honour for me to be congratulating Mazisi Kunene for receiving The South African National Poet Laureate Prize bestowed by our nation. I have been waiting for this moment for a long time. Mazisi Kunene is unquestionably one of our great national poets. In this lineage of poetic greatness, Mazisi Kunene belongs in the pantheon of S. E. K. Mqhayi, J. J. R. Jolobe, Benedict Wallet Vilakazi, H. I. E. Dhlomo and David Livingstone Phakamile Yali-Manisi. Though belonging to this pantheon, Mazisi Kunene surpasses all of them because he is arguably the greatest poet produced by Africa in the twentieth century. His two great epics, Emperor Shaka The Great (1979) and Anthem of the Decades (1981) have no comparable counterparts anywhere in Africa . Mazisi Kunene is a great Imbongi for all seasons and for the whole African continent. In this sense, Mazisi Kunene is the first continental poet Africa has produced. His poetic vision encompassing a profound philosophy of life and a true African cosmology is what holds together the metaphysical unity of the continent. This poetic vision also postulates the unity of Africa and the African Diaspora. In this unification of the black world, Mazisi Kunene's achievement is similar to that realized by Aime Cesaire in Return To My Native Land (1939). It is perhaps because of the affinities between them that Ngugi wa Thiong'o considers Mazisi Kunene's “Introduction” to the 1969 edition of Cesaire's epic to be the finest essay ever written on the great poet from the Caribbean/Antilles.

  • Lee Morgan and the Philadelphia Jazz Scene of the 1950S
    A Musical Education: Lee Morgan and the Philadelphia Jazz Scene of the 1950s Byjeffery S. McMillan The guys were just looking at him. They couldn't believe what was coming out of that horn! You know, ideas like . where would you get them? Michael LaVoe (1999) When Michael LaVoe observed Lee Morgan, a fellow freshman at Philadelphia's Mastbaum Vocational Technical High School, playing trumpet with members of the school's dance band in the first days of school in September 1953, he could not believe his ears. Morgan, who had just turned fifteen years old the previous July, had remarkable facility on his instrument and displayed a sophisticated understanding of music for someone so young. Other members of the ensemble, some of whom al- ready had three years of musical training and performing experience in the school's vocational music program, experienced similar feelings of dis- belief when they heard the newcomer's precocious ability. Lee Morgan had successfully auditioned into Mastbaum's music program, the strongest of its kind in Philadelphia from the 1930s through the 1960s, and demon- strated a rare ability that begged the title "prodigy." Almost exactly three years later, in November of 1956, Lee Morgan, now a member of die Dizzy Gillespie orchestra, elicited a similar response at the professional level after the band's New York opening at Birdland. Word spread, and as the Gillespie band embarked on its national tour, au- diences and critics nationwide took notice of the young soloist featured on what was often the leader's showcase number: "A Night in Tunisia." Nat Hentoff caught the band on their return to New York from the Midwest in 1957.

    Discours de Madame Rama YADE Secrétaire d’Etat chargée des Sports, En ouverture des premières Assises du Sport et du Développement Durable Paris, jeudi 20 mai 2010 ***** Madame la Ministre, chère Chantal, Monsieur le Président, cher Denis, Cher Yann Arthus-Bertrand, Mesdames et Messieurs, Chers amis, Nous venons d’entendre une belle voix simple, j’allais dire une voix d’humanité. Ce qui nous rassemble aujourd’hui, c’est justement une certaine idée de l’Homme, de son rapport aux autres, et à son environnement. Longtemps, nous avons cru que l’Homme était maître de l’univers comme de lui-même. Cet orgueil, cette foi prométhéenne dans l’activité des hommes, nous savons aujourd’hui qu’ils conduisent à des dérèglements irréversibles, qu’ils soient climatiques, économiques ou sociaux. Il ne s’agit pas de mettre en cause les progrès de la science ou le développement économique : je crois profondément à l’intelligence collective de nos sociétés et en la capacité de chacun de prendre la mesure des défis que nous devons relever. La liberté de l’Homme, c’est d’arrêter l’irréversible. Il y a une urgence environnementale. Nous devons y faire face. C’est le défi de ce nouveau siècle ; c’est le défi de notre temps. C’est pourquoi c’est un grand plaisir pour moi de vous accueillir ici pour le lancement de ces premières Assises nationales du sport et du développement durable. Je vous remercie d’avoir répondu si nombreux à notre invitation. Notre invitation : le pluriel est important. Le sport, 1/5 Seul le prononcé fait foi même individuel, est un moment de partage.
