[QUOTE]Originally posted by Egmond Codfried: [QB] [b]PLEASE PRINT YOUR DEFINITION OF BLACK AND BLACKNESS HERE.[/b] To research Blacks, to explain Blackness we first need to give a definition. What and who is Black. I needed to do so in order to identify the European, blue blooded nobility as Black and Blue blood as a Black identity. In my Jane Austen articles I have dealt with my definition. http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=15;t=003159 [QUOTE]But first we need a rationale and workable definition of Black, which in my understanding of blackness; is a quality best discussed and analysed in terms of a person’s identity and history then actual skin colour or facial features. Or scull measurements or DNA. A Black person should next be considered as a functional part of a social and political group. A group who has experienced a common history, made certain geographical movements around the globe, has certain common cultural elements as in the general way of doing things, that creates a bond between the Blacks across oceans and across time. A Black identified writer, like Jane Austen will mainly talk about issues regarding Blacks, like how we expect a Jewish identified writer to write mostly about Jewish things, from a Jewish viewpoint. The shape of his nose does not inform us of his identity. And Blacks come in many shapes and nuances of colour, as Austen herself painstakingly points out with her novelistic pen portraits and letters.
