ABSTRACT This paper examines the complexity of postcolonial manifestations of race, alongside class, colonialism and nationality in Igoni Barrett’s Blackass. I adopt a (post-)Fanonian approach in investigating how the novel depicts the psychopolitics of race in the aftermath of the empire. I analyse the ways in which the novel draws attention to white supremacy as a global phenomenon not only restricted to the conceptual West or settler colonies but also in settings where the colonisers are no longer present. This feeds into the critique of neoliberal democracy that, apparently, is still heavily yoked in the whims and caprices of racialism.

黑人灵魂（仍然）是白人的人工制品？A. Igoni Barrett 的 Blackass 中的后殖民主义、后法诺主义和种族（主义）的顽强

摘要 本文考察了伊戈尼·巴雷特 (Igoni Barrett) 的《黑帮》(Blackass) 中种族的后殖民表现的复杂性，以及阶级、殖民主义和国籍。我采用（后）法诺主义的方法来研究这部小说如何描绘帝国之后的种族心理政治。我分析了小说如何将白人至上作为一种全球现象，不仅限于概念上的西方或定居者殖民地，而且还包括殖民者不再存在的环境中。这引发了对新自由主义民主的批评，显然，新自由主义民主仍然严重受制于种族主义的异想天开和反复无常。
