Racism in Russian Culture

This book explores new forms of racist discourse which have emerged in Russia since the 1950s.　 It argues that Russia's interventions in Africa from the 1950s to the 1980s, which included the aim of civilizing Africans along Soviet lines, but where the interventions failed to establish Soviet Empire, had an important effect on how Russians see themselves in geopolitical, cultural and ideological terms, from which disappointed self view the new racism emerged.　 Considering a wide range of literature and film, including television, the book shows how Russians' views of "blackness" changed over the period, and how such views are closely connected to Russians' myths about their own "whiteness," racial purity and ethnic superiority.　

Aceasta carte exploreaza noi forme de discurs rasist care au aparut in Rusia inca din anii 1950. Acesta sustine ca interventiile Rusiei in Africa din anii 1950 pana in anii 1980, care includeau scopul civilizarii africanilor de-a lungul liniilor sovietice, dar in cazul in care interventiile nu au reusit sa stabileasca Imperiul sovietic, au avut un efect important asupra modului in care rusii se vad in geopolitica, culturala si ideologica termeni, din care conceptia de sine dezamagita a aparut noul rasism. Avand in vedere o gama larga de literatura si film, inclusiv televiziune, cartea arata modul in care opiniile rusilor despre „negru” s-au schimbat de-a lungul perioadei si modul in care astfel de puncte de vedere sunt strans legate de miturile rusilor despre propria lor „alba”, puritate rasiala si etnie. superioritate.
