Abstract

Abstract:Black freedom fighters have always been at the forefront pushing the United States to accept the ideals it was founded on and were—are—unrelenting in their groundbreaking campaigns for abolition, equality, and social justice. In this article, I argue that to add nuance and a greater understanding to the philosophies developed by such freedom fighters, it is necessary to evaluate the transatlantic connections between the United States and Britain. Complicating and expanding their calls for antiracism and anti-oppression, Black activists have gained an alternative international perspective on British soil. Beginning with a discussion of the Movement for Black Lives in the US and its links with the UK, I analyze the movement’s historical and transatlantic roots.

“黑人的故事”:黑人生命运动的历史和跨大西洋根源

摘要：黑人自由斗士一直站在推动美国接受其建立的理想的最前线，并且在他们为废除死刑、平等和社会正义而进行的开创性运动中一直——现在——不屈不挠。在这篇文章中，我认为，为了增加这些自由战士所发展的哲学的细微差别和更好的理解，有必要评估美国和英国之间的跨大西洋联系。黑人活动家在英国的土地上获得了另一种国际视角，这使他们对反种族主义和反压迫的呼吁更加复杂和扩大。从讨论美国黑人生命运动及其与英国的联系开始，我分析了该运动的历史和跨大西洋根源。

期刊介绍： As the official publication of the Division on Black American Literature and Culture of the Modern Language Association, the quarterly journal African American Review promotes a lively exchange among writers and scholars in the arts, humanities, and social sciences who hold diverse perspectives on African American literature and culture. Between 1967 and 1976, the journal appeared under the title Negro American Literature Forum and for the next fifteen years was titled Black American Literature Forum. In 1992, African American Review changed its name for a third time and expanded its mission to include the study of a broader array of cultural formations.
