This edited volume aims to problematise and rethink the
contemporary European migrant crisis in the Central Mediterranean
through the lens of the Black Mediterranean. Bringing together
scholars working in geography, political theory, sociology, and
cultural studies, this volume takes the Black Mediterranean as a
starting point for asking and answering a set of crucial questions
about the racialized production of borders, bodies, and citizenship
in contemporary Europe: what is the role of borders in controlling
migrant flows from North Africa and the Middle East?; what is the
place for black bodies in the Central Mediterranean context?; what
is the relevance of the citizenship in reconsidering black
subjectivities in Europe? The volume will be divided into three
parts. After the introduction, which will provide an overview of
the theoretical framework and the individual contributions, Part I
focuses on the problem of borders, Part II features essays focused
on the body, and Part III is dedicated to citizenship.

This book presents a metacritique of racial formation theory. The
essays within this volume explore the fault lines of the racial
formation concept, identify the power relations to which it
inheres, and resolve the ethical coordinates for alternative ways
of conceiving of racism and its correlations with sexism,
homophobia, heteronormativity, gender politics, empire, economic
exploitation, and other valences of bodily construction,
performance, and control in the twenty-first century. Collectively,
the contributors advance the argument that contemporary racial
theorizing remains mired in antiblackness. Across a diversity of
approaches and objects of analysis, the contributors assess what we
describe as the conceptual aphasia gripping racial theorizing in
our multicultural moment: analyses of racism struck dumb when
confronted with the insatiable specter of black historical
struggle.
An ethnographic account of second-generation Cape Verdean youth
identity in the United States and a theoretical attempt to broaden
and complicate current discussions about race and racial identity
in the twenty-first century. P. Khalil Saucier grapples with the
performance, embodiment, and nuances of racialized identities
(blackened bodies) in empirical contexts. He looks into the
durability and (in)flexibility of race and racial discourse through
an imbricated and multidimensional understanding of racial identity
and racial positioning. In doing so, Saucier examines how Cape
Verdean youth negotiate their identity within the popular
fabrication of "multiracial America." He also explores the ways in
which racial blackness has come to be lived by Cape Verdean youth
in everyday life and how racialization feeds back into the
experience of these youth classified as black through a matrix of
social and material settings. Saucier examines how ascriptions of
blackness and forms of black popular culture inform subjectivities.
The author also examines hip-hop culture to see how it is used as a
site where new (and old) identities of being, becoming, and
belonging are fashioned and reworked. Necessarily Black explores
race and how Cape Verdean youth think and feel their identities
into existence, while keeping in mind the dynamics and politics of
racialization, mixed-race identities, and anti-blackness.
