商品描述
Celebrities live their lives in constant dialogue with stories about them. But when these stories are shaped by durable racist myths, they wield undue power to ruin lives and obliterate communities. Black Legend is the haunting story of an Afro-Argentine, Raúl Grigera ('el negro Raúl'), who in the early 1900s audaciously fashioned himself into an alluring Black icon of Buenos Aires' bohemian nightlife, only to have defamatory storytellers unmake him. In this gripping history, Paulina Alberto exposes the destructive power of racial storytelling and narrates a new history of Black Argentina and Argentine Blackness across two centuries. With the extraordinary Raúl Grigera at its center, Black Legend opens new windows into lived experiences of Blackness in a 'white' nation, and illuminates how Raúl's experience of celebrity was not far removed from more ordinary experiences of racial stories in the flesh.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
名人們的生活與關於他們的故事之間存在著不斷的對話。然而，當這些故事受到持久的種族主義神話影響時，它們便擁有了不當的力量來毀掉生命和摧毀社區。《黑色傳奇》是關於一位非洲阿根廷人拉烏爾·格里赫拉（Raúl Grigera，暱稱「黑色拉烏爾」）的動人故事。他在20世紀初大膽地將自己塑造成布宜諾斯艾利斯波希米亞夜生活中迷人的黑人偶像，卻最終被誹謗的講述者所抹去。在這部引人入勝的歷史中，保琳娜·阿爾貝托（Paulina Alberto）揭示了種族敘事的破壞性力量，並敘述了跨越兩個世紀的阿根廷黑人及其身份的新歷史。以非凡的拉烏爾·格里赫拉為中心，《黑色傳奇》為在「白人」國家中生活的黑人經歷開啟了新的視窗，並闡明了拉烏爾的名人經歷與更普通的種族故事在現實中的經歷並不遙遠。
