Francio Guadeloupe has lived in both the Dutch Antilles and the
Netherlands. An anthropologist by vocation, he is a keen observer
by honed habit. In his new book, he wields both personal and
anthropological observations. Simultaneously memoir and astute
exploration, Black Man in the Netherlands charts Guadeloupe's
coming of age and adulthood in a Dutch world and movingly makes a
global contribution to the understanding of anti-Black racism.
Guadeloupe identifies the intersections among urban popular
culture, racism, and multiculturalism in youth culture in the
Netherlands and the wider Dutch Kingdom. He probes the degrees to
which traditional ethnic division collapses before a rising Dutch
polyethnicity. What comes to light, given the ethnic multiplicity
that Afro-Antilleans live, is their extraordinarily successful work
in forging an anti-racist Dutch identity via urban popular culture.
This alternative way of being Dutch welcomes the Black experience
as global and increasingly local Black artists find fame and even
idolization. Black Man in the Netherlands is a vivid extension of
renowned critical race studies by such Marxist theorists as Achille
Mbembe, Paul Gilroy, Stuart Hall, and C. L. R. James, and it bears
a palpable connection to such Black Atlantic artists as Peter Tosh,
Juan Luis Guerra, and KRS-One. Guadeloupe explores the complexities
of Black life in the Netherlands and shows that within their means,
Afro-Antilleans often effectively contest Dutch racism in civic and
work life.
