Abstract

Based on ethnographic research in the Paris metropolitan region, I discuss how my identity as a Black American ethnographer was implicated in this urban ethnography. Specifically, I discuss the intersections of researcher identity with that of the “researched” and how I was simultaneously framed as an insider and outsider due to different facets of my own identity. I further argue that these insights were data in and of itself as they revealed how race and racism operate in a society that has long disavowed their existence.

郊区的黑人(美国)女孩:作为一个在法国的美国人做种族和民族志

基于在巴黎大都会地区的民族志研究，我讨论了我作为一个美国黑人民族志学者的身份是如何牵连到这个城市民族志的。具体来说，我讨论了研究者身份与“被研究者”身份的交集，以及我是如何因为自己身份的不同方面而同时被塑造成局内人和局外人的。我进一步认为，这些见解本身就是数据，因为它们揭示了种族和种族主义是如何在一个长期否认其存在的社会中运作的。

期刊介绍： Proposed by Italo Pardo, Urbanities was founded in 2011 by a group of anthropologists and sociologists under the chair of Giuliana B. Prato and is edited by a Social Anthropologist ─ Italo Pardo ─ and a Sociologist ─ Jerome Krase. Urbanities has established a partnership with the International Urban Symposium (IUS) and the IUAES Commission on Urban Anthropology (CUA). The journal’s scope is to provide a forum for debate on issues of scientific and public interest worldwide. It aims at providing the scientific community and the general public with up-to-date news on urban research and its relevance in understanding the social, cultural, political, economic and environmental changes of today’s world. Urbanities is an open-access international peer-reviewed academic journal. The Editorial and Scientific Boards reflect the journal’s aims and broad ethnographic spread, and include international scholars of high calibre who specialize in different ethnographic, theoretical and disciplinary fields. Urbanities aims at publishing original articles by established and younger scholars, at exploring new trends and debates in Urban Ethnography that promote critical scholarship and at highlighting the contribution of urban research to the broader society. Committed to promoting cross-disciplinary debate, Urbanities welcomes contributions on research at the forefront of disciplines in the Social Sciences and the Humanities, including Anthropology, Sociology, Geography, History, Political Sciences, Economics, Architecture, Archaeology. Articles published in the journal are ethnographically based and address theoretical, methodological or public issues concerning all aspects of urban research.
