“…In the Review of Black Political Economy, Hossein (2019) explained that there is so much productivity in political economy by the African diaspora and it is being overlooked. Some scholars seem to suggest that Black political economy has been ignored for very political reasons (Haynes, 2019;Stewart, 1984). Researchers in critical economics who value co-operative development should also see a gaping hole when it comes to acknowledging the writing of Black scholars, especially those academics residing outside of the West who study the social economy, solidarities, and co-operatives.…”

“…In the United States and Canada, much work has been done to detail the many forms and practices of co-operativism and community organization by Black people (Gordon Nembhard, 2014;Haynes, 2019Haynes, , 2010Hossein, 2020;Kitossa, Lawson, & Howard, 2019;Stewart, 1984;Sullivan, 1969). African American scholar William Edward Burghardt Du Bois (1907) referred to the Underground Railroad of the 1790-1800s as a co-operative movement, wherein people made both economic and social commitments to risk their lives to move enslaved people into freedom.…”

“…A "racial iso-Canadian Journal of Nonprofit and Social Economy Research Revue canadienne de recherche sur les OSBL et l'économie sociale lation," Haynes argues, "transcended all other social differences" (p. 130) and underpinned Du Bois' ideas of racial co-operation. Haynes (2019) hypothesizes that collective action by Black American communities is a means by which to respond to harsh socio-economic conditions. The fact that there are no Black or South Asian credit unions or co-operatives in Canada exemplifies the lack of support these groups receive in creating these institutions, not that they do not understand or know about cooperatives.…”

The current ecological and social crises are shaking the foundations of society and invite reflection on the capacity of social innovations to generate systemic transitions. As conceptualized by Erik Olin Wright, the trajectories of contemporary emancipatory social innovations are encountering blockages that limit their transformative potential. This article develops the concept of social effect to better understand the complex dynamics at the root of this problem by mobilizing Nancy Fraser’s neo-Polanyian critical theory. This theory, applied to the microsocial, mesosocial and macrosocial scales, allows us to operationalize the issue of the paradoxes encountered and generated daily by the actors of social innovation. The resulting approach to emancipatory social innovation aims to better understand the hybridization of resources and the strategies adopted by organizations to develop the structural power necessary to effect a systemic socioecological transition. The approach also draws attention to the paradoxical social effects generated through the social innovation actors’ daily practices. RÉSUMÉLes crises sociales et écologiques actuelles ébranlent les fondements de la société et invitent à une réflexion sur la capacité des innovations sociales à engendrer des transitions systémiques. Toutefois, tel que conceptualisé par Erik Olin Wright, ces innovations rencontrent des blocages qui limitent leur potentiel transformateur. En mobilisant la théorie critique néopolanyienne de Nancy Fraser, cet article développe le concept d’effet social afin de mieux comprendre les dynamiques complexes qui engendrent ces blocages. La théorie de Fraser, appliquée aux échelles microsociale, mésosociale et macrosociale, nous permet d’opérationnaliser l’enjeu des paradoxes que rencontrent et génèrent au quotidien les acteur(-trice)s de l’innovation sociale. L’approche de l’innovation sociale émancipatrice qui en résulte se veut une approche pragmatique qui vise à mieux comprendre l’hybridation des ressources et les stratégies adoptées par les organisations afin de développer le pouvoir structurel nécessaire pour réussir une transition socioécologique systémique. Elle permet aussi de mettre en lumière les effets sociaux paradoxaux qu’engendrent les pratiques quotidiennes des acteur(-trice)s de l’innovation sociale.
