A body of scholarship interrogates conventional notions of citizenship, viewing full social inclusion beyond formal status and as a matter of belonging. This paper integrates the perspective of anti-Blackness with that of belonging and theorizes anti-Black non-belonging. Based on more than a year of fieldwork in the Lisbon metropolitan area, I illustrate how the reality of anti-Black non-belonging in Portugal means that African-descendant women are vulnerable to racist, everyday practices in public space that impact their individual and group reality and feelings of national belonging. Employing a counter narrative methodology, I argue that Cape Verdean women’s narratives of anti-Black non-belonging illustrate the agentic strategy that they deploy to carve our alternative modes of belonging as they navigate their everyday lives. Their accounts illustrate the continued need for African-descendant women to draw from their everyday knowledge of domination to employ resistance, whether through their own parenting or through their own reactionary voices in public space. Anti-Black non-belonging is therefore both a form of racialization and a matter of resistance; as African-descendent women are racialized as foreign, non-being, and out of place, they also challenge the ideology of Portuguese anti-racialism that places Africans and African descendants outside of European citizenry.

“我们回话!”:在葡萄牙挑战归属感和反黑人

一系列学术研究质疑公民的传统观念,将完全的社会包容视为超越正式地位和归属感的问题。本文将反黑人的视角与归属的视角相结合,将反黑人的非归属理论化。基于在里斯本大都市区一年多的实地考察,我说明了葡萄牙反黑人非归属的现实如何意味着非洲裔妇女很容易受到影响其个人和群体的公共空间中的种族主义日常做法现实感受民族归属感。我采用反叙事方法,认为佛得角女性对反黑人非归属感的叙事说明了她们在日常生活中为塑造我们的替代归属模式而部署的代理策略。他们的描述表明,非洲后裔妇女继续需要从日常的支配知识中汲取力量,以进行抵抗,无论是通过她们自己的养育方式还是通过她们自己在公共场所的反动声音。因此,反黑人非归属既是一种种族化形式,也是一种抵抗;由于非洲裔女性被种族化为外来的、非存在的和格格不入的,她们也挑战了葡萄牙反种族主义的意识形态,这种意识形态将非洲人和非洲后裔置于欧洲公民之外。
