ABSTRACT This paper reads Peter Abrahams’ writings on Africanness in the context of exchanges between anti-colonial thinkers in the Bandung era, spanning the period from the mid-1950s to the late 1970s. It examines the output of the Afro-Asiatic Writer’s Association (AAWU) through Lotus, a quarterly journal that brought together work by artists and thinkers such as Abrahams, Ngugi wa Thiong’o, Yahya Haqqi, Breyten Breytenbach, Ousman Sembene, Chinua Achebe, and Thu Bon, among others. Abrahams’ contributions to Lotus, among his other writings, reflect on the transnational by yoking cultural production and politico-economic conditions. In doing so, Abrahams insists on constructing the transnational through models of solidarity that unsettle self–other binaries and attempt to map cultural as well as financial capital along a South–South axis. He highlights problems with modernity and its cultures that are particularly productive to explore as we grapple with notions of transnationalism. Abrahams reminds us of the importance of attending to race relations as well as imperial relations by examining the economic disparities they involve instead of approaching them as abstracted romances of a black homeland or of an exotic Africanness.

彼得·亚伯拉罕斯（Peter Abrahams）和万隆时代：亚非的连接路线

摘要本文阅读了彼得·亚伯拉罕斯（Peter Abrahams）在万隆时代反殖民思想家之间的交流中有关非洲性的著作，这段时期跨越了1950年代中期到1970年代后期。它通过Lotus（本季度杂志将亚伯拉罕，Ngugi wa Thiong'o，Yahya Haqqi，Breyten Breytenbach，Ousman Sembene，Chinua Achebe，和Thu Bon等。亚伯拉罕斯（Abrahams）对莲花的贡献，除其他著作外，还通过限制文化生产和政治经济状况来反映跨国。在这样做的过程中，亚伯拉罕斯坚持通过团结模型来构建跨国格局，这种模型会使自我和其他二进制文件感到不安，并试图沿着南南轴线绘制文化资本和金融资本。他着重指出了现代性及其文化的问题，这些问题在我们努力应对跨国主义的概念时尤其具有探索性。亚伯拉罕（Abrahams）提醒我们注意种族关系和帝国关系的重要性，方法是研究它们所涉及的经济差异，而不是将它们视为抽象的黑人家园或异国情调的非洲情怀。
