    Black academic legitimation and placement can provide a foothold in American intellectual life so that black infrastructures for intellectual activity can be created. (…) It should be noted that such a black infrastructure for intellectual activity should attract persons of whatever hue or color.

    “And only a fundamental transformation of American society can possibly change the situation of the black community and the black intellectual.”

    The bourgeois model is, in some fundamental and ultimate sense, more part of the problem that the “solution”in regard to black intellectuals. Yet, since we live our lives daily en penultimately within this system, those of us highly critical of the bourgeois model must try to transform it, in part from within the white bourgeois academy.

    Such scrutiny should be motivated by either self-pity nor self-satisfaction. Rather, “this self-inventory” should embody the sense of critique and resistance applicable to the black community, American society and Western civilization as a whole.

    There simply have been no black literate intellectuals who have mastered their craft commensurate with the achievements of Louis Armstrong, Charlie Parker or Rev. Manuel Scott — just as there are no black literate intellectuals today comparable to Miles Davis, Sarah Vaughan or Rev. Gardner Taylor. This is not so because there have been or are no first-rate, black, literate intellectuals, but rather because without strong institutional channels to sustain traditions, great achievement is impossible.

    Therefore, the “succesful” black intellectual capitulates, often uncritically, to the prevailing paradigms and research programs of the white bourgeois academy, and the “unsuccessful” black intellectual remains encapsulated within the parochial discourses of Afro-American intellectual life. The alternatives of meretricious pseudocosmopolitanism and tendentious, cathartic provincialism loom large in the lives of black intellectuals.

    Link naar de website van NWO (De Nederlandse Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek) waar specifieke studenten een specifieke phd beurs kunnen aanvragen.

      Heehoi,

      Leuk dat je dit hebt geplaatst! Ik heb de lijst met voormalige winaars eens doorgenomen en kwam twee bekenden tegen. Twee meisjes uit Afghanistan die volgens mij beiden uit progressieve, intellectuele families komen. Harstikke goed natuurlijk dat ze hiermee een kans krijgen om wetenschappelijk onderzoek te verichten. Wel zijn zij beiden, netals ondergetekende trouwens, hier in Nederland opgegroeid. Ik vraag me in het licht van andere discussies af in hoeverre je hen als allochtoon kunt bestempelen. Ook denk ik dat ze, door hun sterke drive, er ook zonder Mozaiek subsidie wel in aanmerking zouden zijn gekomen voor een AIO plek of iets dergelijks. In de Mare, het Universitaire blad van de Universiteit Leiden, stond een tijd geleden een opmerkelijk artikel over deze subsidie die ik graag onder jou en ieders aandacht breng:.
