This narrative explores the politics of Black authorship and identity in cultural anthropology from my perspective as a Black American woman. The goal is to determine if anthropological methodologies enable me as a Black author to have agency and legitimacy within the discipline in spite of the historic subjecthood of Black culture. I question how my presence and voice, like other “native” voices engaged in anthropological discourse, represents a crack in the veneer, signifying a pariah in paradise.Subjects--Topical Terms:

This narrative explores the politics of Black authorship and identity in cultural anthropology from my perspective as a Black American woman. The goal is to determine if anthropological methodologies enable me as a Black author to have agency and legitimacy within the discipline in spite of the historic subjecthood of Black culture. I question how my presence and voice, like other “native” voices engaged in anthropological discourse, represents a crack in the veneer, signifying a pariah in paradise.

The essay is a quasi-autobiographical approach to understanding anthropological methodologies, practice, and the reproduction of anthropological authority. Personal observations and encounters, reviews of anthropological writing, “other” literature, and descriptions of the patterns that limit self representation inform the location from which I claim authorship.

I pay particular attention to language and the process of transcribing informant “data” into ethnographic knowledge of the author. The discussion is framed by epistemologies and mythologies that focus on who can name, claim, and know identity, and who is authorized to speak about it.

These issues illustrate the larger question of the continued relevance of anthropology as more people of color gain access to the academy with a willingness to speak for themselves. Like me, these new scholars will not be content to serve as informants or tokens of color, but as authors who can change the power dynamic by contributing something more to the racial, social, and political discourses. I offer some resources of empowerment that have more leverage and interest in illuminating and legitimating native perspectives.

My conclusion is that Black authors who remain in anthropology must continue to sustain as pariahs/others/informants until radical and exoticizing methodological and ideological changes concerning the value of otherness in anthropology occur. When it does, paradise will surely be lost.
