Berrian’s consciousness was raised by her family’s move to the turbulent Republic of the Congo. Race, Identity, and Privilege from the US to the Congo traces Berrian’s experiences of subsequently traveling the United States, Canada, France, and three other African countries against the backdrop of emerging African independence and the U.S. Civil Rights Movement. Detailing the complexities she faced in her global identity as a Black woman, Berrian explores how the love and support of her parents and her developing racial, feminist, and political consciousness--strengthened by her embrace of literature and music of the African diaspora--prepared her to deal with adversity, stereotypes, and grief along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Expatriates in Léo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: At the Roadblock\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Les Coiffures\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: The Proposal\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5: The Robbery\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Familial Connections\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 7: A Southerner at the Door\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 8: The Return Home\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 9: History and Négritude in the Flesh\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 10: Canadian Fixation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 11: A Bump in the Road\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 12: Crossing the Ocean à Paris\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 13: The Street Sweepers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 14: I Am Not My Hair\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 15: A Future Decision\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 16: In Search of Sister-Brotherhood\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 17: Gender Politics\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 18: Residues of Apartheid\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 19: Going to Fort Hare\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 20: Redemption and the TRC\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 21: Ubuntu in Alice\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 22: Teraanga in Senegal\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 23: Childhood Sweethearts and Colorism\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 24: A Tribute to Ma Berrian\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 25: From Whence I Came\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042681356631,"sku":"9781793642318","price":72.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781793642318.jpg?v=1750955157","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/race-identity-and-privilege-from-the-us-to-the-congo-9781793642318","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
