Abstract

In 1973, on the heels of the hard-fought gains of the Civil Rights Movement, sociologist and civil rights activist Joyce A. Ladner edited a collection titled The Death of White Sociology: Essays on Race and Culture. Bringing together an impressive set of Black writers and academics, the essays sought to make “an early statement on the development of Black sociology […and] to examine some of the historical forces which have acted upon Black sociologists, and to explicate some of the issues which are central to this new discipline” (Ladner [1973] 1998, p. xxvii). For Ladner, as she wrote in her introduction, Black sociology must be distinct from mainstream (White) sociology in its expressly normative commitment to using social science to “eliminat[e] racism and systematic class oppression from the society [and…to] promot[e] the interests of the Black masses” (Ladner [1973] 1998, p. xxvii). Whereas mainstream sociological theories had long been used to justify the subordination of Black people, Black sociology was an emergent discipline that sought Black liberation.
黑人生命攸关时代的黑人社会学
1973年,在民权运动来之不易的成果之后,社会学家和民权活动家Joyce A.Ladner编辑了一本名为《白人社会学之死:种族与文化随笔》的文集。这些文章汇集了一批令人印象深刻的黑人作家和学者,试图“对黑人社会学的发展做出早期陈述[……并]审视影响黑人社会学家的一些历史力量,并解释这一新学科的一些核心问题”(Ladner[1973]1998,第xxvii页)。对于Ladner来说,正如她在引言中所写的那样,黑人社会学必须与主流(白人)社会学不同,因为它明确规范地致力于利用社会科学“消除社会中的种族主义和系统性阶级压迫[并……促进黑人群众的利益”(Ladner[1973]1998,第xxvii页)。尽管主流社会学理论长期以来一直被用来证明黑人的从属地位,但黑人社会学是一门寻求黑人解放的新兴学科。
