Post-Blackness : ウィキペディア英語版 | Post-Blackness
Touré's ''Who's Afraid of Post Blackness? What it Means to be Black Now'' describes the search for a Black Identity in the 21st century, by rejecting the former tries of adopting one single notion of Blackness as the entire definition. Touré defines the 21st century as the era of Post-Blackness. The term itself was coined in the art scene during the 1990s by Thelma Golden, director of the Studio Museum of Harlem and the conceptual artist Glenn Ligon. ==Post-Blackness== The term Post- Blackness was coined by Thelma Golden and Glenn Ligon to describe “the liberating value in tossing off the immense burden of race-wide representation, the idea that everything they do must speak to or for or about the entire race.”〔 Touré takes in his book ''Who's Afraid of Post Blackness? What it Means to be Black Now'' this term to describe Black Identity in the 21st century. According to Touré it is nowadays difficult to find a clear definition of what is black in terms of African American Culture. There are several attempts to even define when a person is black in America, one of them being The Kinship Schema. The try to define it results most often in the mixing up of definitions to find an identity in culture or in biological terms for example. This results often in Racial Patriotism, Racial Fundamentalism or Racial Policing. Additionally, Post-Blackness has not only to deal with the definition of being black, but with the Authenticity of Blackness. Touré comes to the point that Blackness is too difficult and is too wide-ranging to have a simple definition. However, he does not say that Post-Blackness is signifying the end of Blackness, but allows entering a period when the variety of what Blackness means and can mean, can be accepted as the truth. Michael Eric Dyson says that Post-Blackness may be rooted in Blackness, but is not restricted by it.〔 What Touré entirely rejects are people who are trying to define Blackness in their own terms, therefore excluding others. He calls this fight for authenticity “cultural bullying” by “identity cops”. He differentiates between post-blackness and post-racial: in his opinion race still does exist, and he warns to compare it to post racial: post-racial would suggest colorblindness, and the claim that race does not exist or that society would be beyond the concept of race; in his opinion, this would be a naïve understanding of race in America. Touré sees post-blackness as such:” We are like Obama: rooted in but not restricted by Blackness”. Touré interviewed about 105 persons for his book, among them politicians (i.e. Harold Ford Jr.), visual artists (i.e. Gary Simmons and Kara Walker), recording artists (i.e. Chuck D of Public Enemy), writers (i.e. Malcolm Gladwell) and academics like Dr. Beverly Tatum or Dr. Alvin Pouissant.
