Becoming-minority as antagonist of becoming-black
Abstract
Starting from Mbembe's Critique of Black Reason, we take two concepts from Deleuze and Guattari's philosophy (potency and Power) with which to read the problem of racism and other forms of discrimination. By examining the production of slavery, with its three dimensions (corporal, social and symbolic), we will arrive at the becoming-black of the world, a concept proposed by Mbembe to explain the current expansion of that first racism of the African slave trade. Against this becoming-black, we will raise, again from the hand of Deleuze and Guattari, the becoming-minoritarian, with its three attributes (anomaly, nomadism and celebration), in struggle against any form of discrimination.
