摘要

研究已经解决了在捷克共和国(CR)的非洲遗产的人的历史轨迹,但没有非洲人的当代生活和身份的全面研究。鉴于居住在该国的非洲人越来越多,对新兴非洲侨民的研究势在必行。这项实证研究是一个更大项目的一部分,该项目旨在通过跨学科和民族志的视角来解决这一问题。它的主要目的是通过关注语言和种族的动态,以及在较小程度上关注性别,对CR中非洲遗产人民的社会政治身份进行详细而细致的描述。基于交叉性理论和最近发展的“种族语言学”框架,本文提供了CR中非洲人的第一个流散叙事,他们具有不同程度的捷克语流利程度,并经历了不同形式的种族化和种族主义。在CR中,个人的多重生活轨迹表明,非洲移民感到陷入了语言和种族歧视的复杂矩阵,但他们有一种合理的安全感。这个高度模糊的空间也表明,一方面,捷克语言技能有能力减轻种族话语和种族主义的挑战,但另一方面,面对种族他者和种族主义,语言的力量显然是有限的。

African Diasporic Narratives from the Czech Republic: Focus on Language and Race

Studies have addressed the historical trajectories of people of African heritage in the Czech Republic (CR), but there is no comprehensive study of the contemporary lives and identities of African people. Given the increasing number of African people living in the country, research into an emerging African diaspora is imperative. This empirical study emerges as part of a larger project which aims to address this paucity through an interdisciplinary and ethnographic lens. Its primary aim is to develop a detailed and nuanced account of sociopolitical identities among people of African heritage in the CR by focusing on the dynamics of language and race and, to a lesser degree, gender. Theoretically based on intersectionality and drawing from the recently developed framework of ‘raciolinguistics’, this paper provides the first diasporic narratives of African people in the CR who have varying degrees of Czech language fluency and experience diverse forms of racialisation and racism. Individual multiple life trajectories in the CR suggest that African migrants feel caught in a complex matrix of linguistic and racial discrimination but that they have a sense of reasonable safety and security. This highly ambiguous space also shows that, on the one hand, there are instances where Czech language skills have the capacity to mitigate the challenges in racial discourse and racism, but on the other hand there are clear limits to the power of language in the face of racial Othering and racism.
