Black Man in the Netherlands: An Afro-Antillean Anthropology Franscio Guadeloupe is an English-language study book that offers insight into the experiences of the Black man in the Netherlands. This work is intended for professionals and researchers in the social sciences and cultural studies.
Guadeloupe, an anthropologist and resident of both the Dutch Antilles and the Netherlands, combines personal memories with scientific analysis. The book is simultaneously memoir and astute exploration of growing up and coming of age in a Dutch context, and makes an important contribution to understanding anti-Black racism.
The author examines the dynamics between urban popular culture, racism, and multiculturalism within Dutch youth cultures. He highlights how Afro-Antilleans shape an anti-racist Dutch identity, in which the Black experience is both recognized and celebrated as both global and local.
This work connects to topics such as ethnic studies, cultural diversity, and the social position of Afro-Antilleans within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. It provides a deeper understanding of the complexity and resistance to racism in the Netherlands.
