“…James Journal that I thought about studying her work over the past half-century. Her name pops up in the issue a few times- Hudson and Kamugisha (2014) describe her as the author of a "condescending" (p. 7) book review of David Austin's (2013) Fear of a Black Nation in their introduction, for example-but there weren't any articles that deeply engaged with her body of work or her belief that white validation and "serious research" was necessary to communicate the pain and suffering of Black communities to decision-makers in the middle and upper levels of Canadian society (Agnew, 2007). When I read the books and reports Henry had authored and co-authored, I kept wondering how she was performing the role of a serious academic researcher who challenged white elites who were reluctant to consider racism a very serious issue in Canadian society.…”

McNeil via Zoom. McNeil's teaching and scholarship bring together history, cultural studies, diaspora studies, and cognate fields of inquiry to explore the complexities of global Black communities. After receiving his PhD in history from the University of Toronto in 2007, he was a lecturer in media and cultural studies at the University of Hull (2007-2010) and Newcastle University (2010-2012). Between 2012 and 2014 he was the Ida B. Wells-Barnett visiting professor of African and Black diaspora studies at DePaul University in Chicago. McNeil returned to Canada in 2014 as an associate professor of history and chair of the migration and diaspora studies initiative at Carleton University. In 2019-2020, he was the inaugural visiting public humanities faculty fellow at the University of Toronto, a position open to citizens of all countries who are tenured faculty members with a history of research achievement and who have the capacity to present their research across disciplinary and institutional boundaries; a demonstrated track record of bringing humanities research into the public realm for discussion, debate, and examination; and a promise of continued excellence. McNeil is currently a professor at Queen's University and Queen's National Scholar Chair in Black studies with a focus on interdisciplinary studies of liberation and decolonial praxis.Thinking While Black, his book about the political aspirations and cultural achievements of soul rebels, Black Atlantic intellectuals, and planetary humanists over the past fifty years, will be published by Rutgers University Press and Between the Lines in 2022.The conversation is edited for clarity and length.

“…James Journal posed the question, "What is Black Canadian thought?" (Hudson & Kamugisha, 2014) the answers all seemed to refer in some way to multiculturalism. Yet, your approach does seem distinctive in key respects.…”

“…This happens arguable because many of the recommendations relied on the understanding that the child welfare system and the government operate in good faith, rather than as colonial systems (Walcott, 2003). Hudson and Kamugisha (2014) describe this form of Black scholarly work, that which seeks to redeem the state and reform its systems rather than radically address and transform them, as the Black Liberal Tradition.…”

“…So it is from this knowledge that I engage this major research paper as a personal, political, ethical, radical, and decolonial endeavour, one that centres the capacity and creativity of Black child welfare survivors. An endeavour that puts Black child welfare survivorship in conversation and concert with what Hudson and Kamugisha (2014) call the Black Radical Tradition.…”

From topic and evidence to architect: the development of Black diasporic interpretive phenomenology and the resistive strategies of Black child welfare survivors

This research engaged in the epistemological development from interpretive phenomenology into what is my implemented method of inquiry, which is Black diasporic interpretive phenomenology. This approach grounds itself in Black diasporic thought and the theorizing and work of Black authors, scholars, and activists to understand and describe the sensibilities, intimacies, struggle and resistance of Black people within the diaspora, often stemming from a hyper/invisibility created by the state, society, and institutions (Walcott, 2016). It takes seriously concerns around ethics and care while also being investigative by making connections between our present moment as Black people to the long history of subjugation and our continued fight for freedom. Three Black participants of various identities were engaged to answer the overall research question of “what are the resistive strategies deployed by Black child welfare survivors?” The term Black child welfare survivor refers to Black people who at some point in their lives have been engaged by or taken under state guardianship, or experienced adoption. The methodology used allowed for participants’ narratives to expose the anti-Black racism and continuity of slavery and coloniality in child welfare, as well as the rigourous, sustainable, and effective methods Black child welfare survivors deploy in order to maintain themselves, their families, and their communities. Key words: anti-Black racism, child welfare, resistance, Black diaspora, Black family

“…The racist and particularly anti-black verbal violence which erupted around Little Pink can be placed within the larger colour-blind framework of neo-racism (Balibar and Wallerstein, 1991) or 'racism without racists' (Bonilla-Silva, 2006). Of course, as Eduardo Bonilla-Silva ( 2006) has shown, this discourse is not limited to Europe or the US -black Canadian scholars point to collectively held images of Canada as a peaceful, colour-blind, postracial nation (Chariandy, 2015;Hudson and Kamugisha, 2014). What black populations in all these contexts share is a relatively weak position and that they are constantly called upon to 'prove' that racism is damaging and dangerous.…”
