in Young and black in Babylondon: part deux on The Liming House
I real like this.
For me it was a lil different, i have the same middle-class upbringing, the same circle of friends who not quite one or the other, and those that are just one, are firmly set in class. But like you, I too had to face the aspect of "blackness", how it relates to me and how I relate to it. Walter Rodney, maybe in "Groundings with my Brothers" said that Rastafari addressed the issue of who you are and where you stand in relation to blackness. And this, like the question of your Martiniquan friend, has stayed with me.
You ever read any Fanon?
