#BlackAndJewishAmerica, the extraordinary #HenryLouisGatesJr 4-segment documentary on @pbs.org , is a must watch program. Then read and subscribe to @joealterman.bsky.social ‘s extension of knowledge. Dr Gates’s work should be a Ken Burns’s length documentary. mailchi.mp/dd7f0cd2874a...
📌 …It’s important that we nurture and protect these memories…

Photo de la première de couverture de l'ouvrage Race, ethnicité, nation. Le triangle fatal, écrit par Stuart Hall, préfacé par Henry Louis Gates Jr. et postfacé par Kobena Mercer.
Sommaire : Avant-propos d'Henry Louis Gates Jr. (page 9). Chapitre 1 « Race — les glissements d'un signifiant » (page 29). Chapitre 2 « Ethnicité et différence à l'ère de la mondialisation » (page 79). Chapitre 3 « Nations et diasporas » (page 127). Postface de Kobena Mercer (page 179).
Citation extraite de la postface, page 181 : « Stuart Hall entreprend de dénouer le nœud liant entre elles les catégories de race, d’ethnicité et de nation. À elles trois, ces catégories servent à classifier la diversité infinie de la vie humaine. […] Ce que nous affrontons aujourd’hui, nous dit-il, ce sont les trois formes historiques prises par les discours de la différence culturelle, qui se sont entremêlés à des relations de pouvoir tout au long de l’époque moderne. »
Photo de la quatrième de couverture : L’identité s’est imposée comme une question politique centrale de notre époque, mais les débats qui s’y rapportent demeurent le plus souvent posés dans des termes caricaturaux. Pour les clarifier, Stuart Hall étudie ici la construction discursive de trois de ses formes principales : la race, l’ethnicité et la nation. Car si chacune de ces formes est le produit de longs processus de sédimentation historique, leur caractère construit ne doit pas nous conduire à croire qu’il serait possible de se débarrasser de ces catégories comme on dissipe une illusion. Au contraire, il est impératif d’appréhender les ressorts de leur persistance, et notamment leur inscription dans le fonctionnement du langage, afin de comprendre comment elles configurent notre quotidien et le cours de l’histoire, ainsi que d’envisager les modalités de leurs usages susceptibles de nourrir une pratique émancipatrice. Dans un contexte où la mondialisation et les migrations tendent à scinder l’identité de son lieu concret d’origine, et alors que le racisme prolifère sur fond de déni de sa genèse coloniale, Stuart Hall expose de manière vive et concise les enjeux contemporains d’une approche politique de la différence, tout en proposant une introduction éclairante au champ des cultural studies.

Black history isn’t a sidebar—it’s the story of America. Henry Louis Gates Jr. spent decades making sure the truth reached primetime, from Finding Your Roots to creating Harvard’s first African and African American studies program. #TheReceipts #HenryLouisGatesJr #BlackHistory

High school students would benefit from watching #FindingYourRoots with Henry Louis Gates Jr. on #PBS. Instead of detention, have them watch the show & write about what they learned & found insightful. I also think this would be a good extra credit/college prep course. Thoughts? #HenryLouisGatesJr
Fantastic afternoon at Harvard’s Radcliffe Day 2025! We joined a lively panel on women in film, watched Jodie Foster and Henry Louis Gates Jr. in conversation, and cheered as Jodie received the Radcliffe Medal.

he Black Box: Writing the Race by Henry Louis Gates Jr.
A magnificent, foundational reckoning with how Black Americans have used the written word to define and redefine themselves, in resistance to the lies of racism amzn.to/4iPyWPV #HenryLouisGatesJr #TheBlackBox
Watching Henry Louis Gates Jr. light up with pure delight when he asks: “how does it feel to find out that your grandfather died in debtors/slave/holocaust survivors leper colony?”

@pbs.org "Great Migration" is spellbinding! Thank you, #HenryLouisGatesJr for this profoundly moving presentation.
I bet her family came from Greece... Or Lithuania... I'm not getting any pizza/pasta vibes whatsoever. Olive oil and meat packed in little tin cans, sure... But that doesn't narrow it down.

We thoroughly enjoyed the "Viewers Like You" episode of #FindingYourRoots with #HenryLouisGatesJr, but were so disappointed that it didn't end with introducing the guests to DNA cousins! #genealogy #FamilyHistory
Oh that's just not fair. If #HenryLouisGatesJr #SkipGates came to me about my origins you'd have one hell of a show on both sides but no doubt more mysteries solve beyond from an enigmatic maternal grandfather leaving behind dark hair for 2 elderly generations. I always wished I could go through it.
