What do the words \u2018Race\u2019 and \u2018the West\u2019 mean? Are they real or imaginary constructs? We hear them in decolonial academic contexts and in everyday language but are they really a sign of decoloniality? <\/em><\/p>\n

\u2018Race\u2019 and \u2018the West\u2019: Segregation in the United States<\/strong><\/h4>\n

When I studied Political Science in the United States in the 1990\u2019s, no one where I studied ever used the term \u2018race\u2019, it would most likely have been deemed outrageous and, yes, racist. We were, however, invited to fill out our \u2018ethnic group\u2019 on administrative forms and the level of social segregation between ethnic groups that I observed in the United States during those years was greater than anything I had seen before and greater than anything I have ever seen since. Even greater than what I observed as a journalist staying for three months in newly post-apartheid South Africa a few years later. With social segregation I mean occurrences in which I would see people of different skin colors talking or sitting together. Today in the United States, using the word \u2018race\u2019 about people, whether it be in academia or in other contexts, seems to have become acceptable. Or should I say acceptable AGAIN, since this was normal practice in the United States going back not even a century. As a reminder, it was only in 1954 that the American Supreme Court declared that \u2018racial\u2019 segregation in education was unconstitutional. Today, in 2024, there are proposals in the United States that \u2018black\u2019 students should have only \u2018black\u2019 professors at university<\/a>. At American universities, professors regularly use the word \u2018race\u2019 in their analysis and separate events, like graduation ceremonies, are regularly organized for students according to their \u2018race\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2018Race\u2019 and \u2018the West\u2019: American culture is American<\/strong><\/h4>\n

My feeling is that many non-Americans who have not spent much time in the United States do not realize that American culture is rather unique to Americans, that most non-American cultures simply do not share their specific cultural heritage. Other cultures may indeed also have horrendous legacies of cultural or religious clashes as well as of discrimination and even civil war between ethnic groups. However, the exact experience of the United States is specific to the United States. This is because no culture in the world is universal. Non-Americans may assume they are almost American when they wear Nike shoes, eat at McDonalds or watch American films. However, there is much more to a culture than these activities and each country or region has its own culture. We may therefore not assume that what American scholars write, whether it be about their own country or about other places in the world, represents anything that can be applied to non-American lived experiences.<\/p>\n

Scholars, like everyone else, tend to see the world through their own unique lived experiences, on a collective cultural level and on an individual level. This does not mean we should discard what American scholars write. However, we should take what they write with a grain of salt, as we should do with all things in life, and not forget that the ideas of American scholars are partly an expression of their own collective trauma related to violence and segregation. This is, furthermore, one of the reasons I find the term \u2018Western\u2019 problematic. The idea of \u2018the West\u2019 seems today to almost have taken the shape and proportions of a mythology<\/a> \u2013 it is written and spoken so often but who can say what this term is meant to mean anymore? In reality, there is of course no such thing as \u2018the West\u2019 (other than a geographical direction). Or do you mean the United States?<\/p>\n

\u2018Race\u2019 and \u2018the West\u2019: The French podcast \u2018Kiffe ta race\u2019<\/strong><\/h4>\n

How many people are aware that Critical Race Theory<\/a> is a theory specifically about the discrimination and structural racism in the United States? Not in \u2018the West\u2019. It is not that other countries do not also have problems with racism but they would probably do better to study their own problems rather than trying to apply American theories to their own realities. People deserve real solutions that are based on their concrete problems rather than on vague, mythology-like terms. In French, \u2018the West\u2019 is translated into \u2018l\u2019Occident\u2019.<\/p>\n

I recently listened to a French podcast called Kiffe ta race<\/em><\/a>, which may translate into \u2018Love your race\u2019, specifically an episode from 25 July 2024, called \u2018Traduire la race sans la trahir\u2019<\/a> (meaning \u2018Translating race without betraying it\u2019) in which journalist Rokhaya Diallo and author Grace Ly discuss the difficulty of language translations across \u2018races\u2019 with anglicist Maboula Soumahoro. The women hold a discussion on the topic of achieving culture-sensitive translations and by choosing translators that know the culture in question. As a multilingual logophile, I find the conversation beautiful and interesting. I consider each language a window to the culture and history of the population that speaks it. They mention, for example, how the English word \u2018fierce\u2019 once was translated into the French word \u2018sauvage\u2019 (savage) in relation to model Naomi Campbell. Most people who speak both English and French well would likely agree that this is not only a very bad translation but also probably a racist one. However, the women in this episode then argue that translations may be best done by someone of the same \u2018race\u2019, not to get linguistic nuances wrong. Notice that they suggest people of the same \u2018race\u2019 do the translating, not people of the same culture. As if people of the same \u2018race\u2019 automatically shared culture and lived experiences. Indeed, people of a certain skin color (assuming that is what they mean by \u2018race\u2019) may sometimes be less likely to hold prejudices against people with that same skin color but far from always. And skin color remains a poor predictor of cultural understanding and sensitivities. French people who have little experience of American culture may believe the two cultures are similar even though they are not.<\/p>\n

\u2018Race\u2019 and \u2018the West\u2019: Lost in translation<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The podcast is, of course, called \u2018Love your race\u2019 so the use of this term should not come as a surprise. Only, \u2018races\u2019 do not technically exist within the human species. It has been well established that \u2018race\u2019 is a social construct without biological basis.<\/a> Since the early 2000s, we know, thanks to the Human Genome Project, that humans share 99.9% of genetic material and that the genetic variation that does exist between people is not aligned with \u2018racial\u2019 categories<\/a>. In minute 45:15 into the episode, Rokhaya Diallo states that while working on her new documentary film \u2018Destins crois\u00e9s\u2019, on relations between different ethnic groups in the United States, one person translated the English words \u2018racial equality\u2019 to \u2018\u00e9galit\u00e9 de races\u2019 in French. She tells us that she was very upset by this translation because she finds that speaking about \u2018equality between races\u2019 implies there is already an inequality and a hierarchy between \u2018races\u2019 in place, which she disagrees with. As someone who speaks both English and French fluently, I cannot find any problem with the translation, which leads me to conclude that the problem lies elsewhere. Perhaps Rokhaya Diallo only realizes how strange these words sound when she hears them in her own native language, French. Indeed, although France has a colonial history, it has never had any kind of \u2018racial\u2019 policies that resemble those of the United States in place. It may be the case that Rokhaya Diallo had assumed, since reading texts about \u2018race\u2019 by American scholars, that the American cultural heritage and collective experiences also were her own when, in reality, she grew up in a very different culture. She may have assumed American ideas of \u2018race\u2019 were somehow representative of \u2018the West\u2019 which would include France and many other countries. Now let us ask ourselves, is it really any stranger to speak of \u2018hierarchies between races\u2019 than to speak of \u2018races\u2019 to begin with? If we look at history, we may observe that discussions of \u2018races\u2019 have often encouraged attempts at comparing them. In the light of this, is today\u2019s use of the words \u2018race\u2019 and \u2018the West\u2019 not a form of intellectual laziness?<\/p>\n

\u2018Race\u2019 and \u2018the West\u2019: Taking it further<\/strong><\/h4>\n

What has YOUR experience been? Have you noticed the word \u2018race\u2018 has been increasingly used in recent years (in the United States and\/or in other countries)? Do you believe the use of the word \u2018race\u2019 creates more or less divisions between ethnic groups in society? \u00a0Do you think the word \u2018race\u2019 should be used in academia and in everyday language even though it is scientifically inaccurate? Finally, do you find the term \u2018the West\u2019 useful? If so, in what way? I look forward to your comments!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
