Abstract:
This paper critiques black citizenship in America. Using the \"warring ideals\" of W.E.B DuBois, it posits that African American citizenship is a complex interplay between the universality of citizenship, i.e., the ideals of the western liberal tradition, and the lived realities of citizenship. Highlighting the paradox of race, the article underscores that black citizenship has never been a guarantee in American society. \"Warring ideals\" encompass a struggle between aspirational ideals of what American citizenship is supposed to be and what it actually is-especially for those who are marginalized. Lived realities of citizenship often mean coming to terms with daily encounters with racism and structural discrimination which affirm and reaffirm citizenship boundaries. The manuscript also evaluates how watershed movements such as the civil rights, black power, and Black Lives Matter movements have attempted to reconcile the ideals and the realities of American citizenship.
摘要:
本文批评了美国的黑人公民身份。使用W.E.BDuBois的“交战理想”,它认为非裔美国公民身份是公民身份普遍性之间的复杂相互作用,即,西方自由主义传统的理想,以及公民身份的现实。突出种族的悖论,这篇文章强调了黑人公民身份在美国社会中从来都不是一种保证。“交战理想”包含了美国公民身份应该是什么和它实际上是什么的理想之间的斗争,特别是对于那些被边缘化的人。公民身份的现实通常意味着每天都会遇到种族主义和结构性歧视,从而肯定和重申公民身份的界限。手稿还评估了诸如民权之类的分水岭运动,黑色力量,和黑人生命物质运动试图调和美国公民的理想和现实。
