Paulena M\u00fcller: \u201cI\u00b4m not a nigger, I\u00b4m a man.\u201d Intricacies of Masculinity and Race in Raoul Peck\u00b4s I Am Not Your Negro<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Raoul Peck\u00b4s 2016 movie I Am Not Your Negro<\/em> shows the relevance of American author James Baldwin\u00b4s thinking with regard to current racism issues in the USA. With a narration only out of Baldwin\u00b4s texts, it provides insight in Baldwin\u00b4s involvement in the Civil Rights Movement and his deconstructive analysis of race as a power structure. The article examines how this deconstruction of white supremacy intersects with gender, focusing specifically on the depiction of masculinity in reference to Raewyn Connell\u00b4s model of hegemonic masculinity. It is argued that hegemonic masculinity simultaneously serves as a potential target of power deconstruction and a tool to overcome racial oppression. <\/p>\n
