![]() | The practice of diaspora: literature, translation, and the rise of Black internationalism Edwards elucidates the workings of diaspora by tracking the wealth of black transnational print culture between the world wars, exploring the connections and exchanges among New York-based publications (such as Opportunity , The Negro World , and The Crisis ) and newspapers in Paris (such as Les Continents , La Voix des N gres , and L'Etudiant noir ). In reading a remarkably diverse archive--the works of writers and editors from Langston Hughes, Ren Maran, and Claude McKay to Paulette Nardal, Alain Locke, W. E. B. Du Bois, George Padmore, and Tiemoko Garan Kouyat -- The Practice of Diaspora takes account of the highly divergent ways of imagining race beyond the barriers of nation and language. In doing so, it reveals the importance of translation, arguing that the politics of diaspora are legible above all in efforts at negotiating difference among populations of African descent throughout the world. |
