“…As an Indigenous serving institution known for its diverse student population (University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, 2023), Black students at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa are an often forgotten part of the community, with few resources available to them to create and foster a strong sense of belonging and connection during their educational journeys. Often referred to as an absent presence and present absence in Hawaiʻi (Sharma, 2011;2021), students of African descent represent 1.8% of the 19,074 students, a relatively low number reflecting the less than 3% Black population in the islands. This photo essay presents visual vignettes as a window into the experiences of the 1.8% and highlights the intricacies of Black student experiences on campus.…”

This photo essay incorporates a creative visual ethnic studies approach to express Black students' experiences, understanding, and concerns on oceanic Blackness and belonging at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. The students, from Hawaiʻi and the continental United States, share their thoughts on how the university and island provide possibilities for oceanic ways of thinking about Blackness that render them invisible, visible, safe, threatened, complicated, and whole on campus and in Hawaiʻi. These visual vignettes reflect how students negotiate with their presence on a campus with few Black students, staff, and faculty, where they feel a lack of connection in nearly all locations on campus yet strive to develop a sense of belonging through interpersonal relations and possibilities.

“…By creating a mixed-race character, Edugyan, as an African Canadian writer, participates in the representation of mixed-racedness from Canada to a global experience. For a nuanced discussion of mixed-race subjectivities of Canada and beyond see Fraile-Marcos (2012a) and (2012b) orSharma (2011).…”

La segunda novela de la escritora afro-canadiense Esi Edugyan, Half Blood Blues, publicada en 2011, ahonda en el estudio de las trayectorias de diferentes representacions de negritud a través de la convulsa historia de Europa después de la Gran Guerra y del régimen nazi poniendo el foco en la trágica existencia del ciudadano afroamericano Hiero Falk y su banda de jazz. La historia ejemplifica la compleja percepción del sujeto negro en Europa i su actitud resiliente a través de las memorias fantasmales ligadas a las políticas de exclusión racial de un continente atrapado en distintas guerras. Así, utilizando como marco teórico las políticas de la memoria cultural con la estética del gótico postcolonial y su intersección con los procedimientos de racialización, este artículo se centra en la recuperación de la memoria afroeuropea poseída por un contexto de supremacía racial y aniquilación con el fin de reclamar el dialogo entre la historia europea y el colonialismo.
