Although it took several decades of armor-piercing scholarship, now that the road is paved and rap has claimed its place within scholarly discourse, more central issues than the irritating (though inevitable) task of constantly proving rap’s (self-evident) artistic nature can finally be addressed. In this talk I will discuss Ice Cube’s track “I wanna Kill Sam” and Racionais MC’s’s track “Racistas otários.” The two tracks have in common the fact that they address the experiences of Black people through their relationship with public policies and institutions that claim to promote the emancipation of Black people in Brazil and in the USA. My goal is to show that the Racionais and Ice Cube symbolically (re)dimension contemporary “Blackness” as a result of the constant physical and symbolic clashes that started back in the slavery regime.

In his seminar presentation, Aching proposes that we think of processes of racialization as ways of measuring the tolerance that societies possess for their own practices of dehumanization during specific historical periods. In examining this proposition, he will describe his training as a scholar of race and racialization in the context of the Caribbean and the challenges of applying that training to his current projects on the Underground Railroad in Central New York.

In recent years Brazilians have demonstrated a sudden and newfound tendency to change their racial identifications and adopt nonwhite (and especially black) identities. I argue this sudden change can be attributed to state-led educational expansion for lower classes, which has increased their personal exposure to racialized inequalities and discrimination. Drawing on in-depth interviews and national survey data, I elaborate and specify mechanisms through which educational access impacts racial subjectivity and patterns of identification. Ultimately, I aim to show how expanded access to social citizenship benefits has reshaped racial identities and helped to foment a growing racial consciousness in Brazil.

David De Micheli is Assistant Professor of Political Science and Ethnic Studies at the University of Utah. His current book project examines the consequences of educational expansion for the politicization of racial identities and inequalities in Brazil. His current research is published or is forthcoming in World Politics and Latin American Politics and Society.
