Creating Africa in America. Jacqueline Copeland-Carson
Читать онлайн книгу.
Americans,” people of European ancestry could be “African” if they held African citizenship or were born in an African country.
CWC “Africans born in America” tended to justify a common “African” identity across the diaspora in part because of a shared history of racism and discrimination. For example, Sandra, an “African born in America” school social worker, described this commonality in spiritual terms:
I feel more of a connection with Africans around the world than I do with Europeans…. It’s just a natural, kind of spiritual connection. So, it’s like if you’re talking to a family member, you’re more likely to share. But then other people from other cultures can also be very interested and make a good connection and you can be more intimate too. It just kind of depends. But, there is something special about and is spiritual with African people … It is a shared heritage. A shared sense of suffering. I think that wherever we are on the planet, we have had some degree of suffering that is historic and that continues based on the color of our skin.28
