Abstract

ABSTRACT In this article, I discuss findings of a qualitative research conducted among thirty participants on their lived experiences with anti-black racism and Othering, highlighting the lived reality of being becoming and being positioned as a racialized subject. Building on critical race, post-colonial, everyday racism, and Foucauldian theories, I link my analysis of participants’ experiences to Australia’s history and the legacy of past racist policies and immigration practices, making the case of black African vulnerability, exclusion, marginalization, and disadvantage. The findings provide empirical lens and frameworks to understand black African immigration and experiences in Australia and contribute to growing scholarship on the diasporic black African experiences. By focusing on black Africans, the article shows how skin color, alongside race, combines to reveal how the participants’ experience broadens our understanding of black Africans incorporation, identification, and inclusion in White settler colonial and dominated societies. In order to better improve outcomes for black Africans and transform society, I argue for tackling systemic anti-black racism and Othering practices by pursuing policies and practices that promote racial equity and create a more just and socially inclusive multicultural society, where all benefit and feel a sense of belonging.
反黑人种族主义与其他:对生活在澳大利亚的非洲黑人生活经历的探索
在这篇文章中,我讨论了一项对30名参与者进行的定性研究的结果,研究他们在反黑人种族主义和他者中的生活经历,突出了成为和被定位为种族化主体的生活现实。在批判种族、后殖民、日常种族主义和福柯理论的基础上,我将我对参与者经历的分析与澳大利亚的历史以及过去种族主义政策和移民实践的遗产联系起来,以非洲黑人的脆弱性、排斥、边缘化和劣势为例。这些发现为理解非洲黑人移民和在澳大利亚的经历提供了经验视角和框架,并有助于增加关于散居非洲黑人经历的学术研究。通过关注非洲黑人,这篇文章展示了肤色和种族如何结合在一起,揭示了参与者的经历如何拓宽了我们对非洲黑人在白人定居者殖民和主导社会中的融入、认同和包容的理解。为了更好地改善非洲黑人的结果并改变社会,我主张通过推行促进种族平等的政策和做法来解决系统性的反黑人种族主义和其他做法,并创造一个更加公正和社会包容性的多元文化社会,在这个社会中,所有人都受益并感到归属感。

期刊介绍: Recent years have witnessed considerable worldwide changes concerning social identities such as race, nation and ethnicity, as well as the emergence of new forms of racism and nationalism as discriminatory exclusions. Social Identities aims to furnish an interdisciplinary and international focal point for theorizing issues at the interface of social identities. The journal is especially concerned to address these issues in the context of the transforming political economies and cultures of postmodern and postcolonial conditions. Social Identities is intended as a forum for contesting ideas and debates concerning the formations of, and transformations in, socially significant identities, their attendant forms of material exclusion and power.
