ABSTRACT

The Covid-19 pandemic has been analysed as a distinct from, but concurrent with, more typical racist events, such as police killings in the United States. This article argues that one can conceptualise these two events as inter-related and synergistically enhanced. Anti-Black racism is a dynamic that utilises different social inequalities and violent events to manage the Black population within the United States. This article suggests that theorists would benefit from a syndemic analysis of disease and anti-Black violence in future theorisations of Black oppression.

有条件的死亡:分析Covid-19的黑人死亡率和在美国的警察杀人事件,作为一种犯罪群际互动

摘要

据分析,Covid-19大流行与其他典型的种族主义事件不同,但与之同时发生,如美国的警察杀人事件。本文认为,可以将这两个事件概念化为相互关联和协同增强。反黑人种族主义是一种动因,它利用不同的社会不平等和暴力事件来管理美国境内的黑人。本文表明,理论家将从未来对黑人压迫的理论中对疾病和反黑人暴力的综合分析中受益。
