I sin introduktion till Inga som vi [None Like Us: Blackness, Belonging, Aesthetic Life, 2018] kritiserar Stephen Best den typ av svart samtida skrivande som grundar sig i vad han kallar »melankolisk historicism«: föreställningen att det går att återvända till ett gemensamt traumatiskt förflutet för att skriva fram ett enhetligt kollektiv. Han gör det genom att ta sin utgångspunkt i James Baldwins - liksom sin egen - komplicerade relation till sin far. Istället för att fokusera på en gemenskap grundad i traumat, försöker Stephen Best tänka på minioritetsskap och svarthet i termer av oöverförbarhet, negativitet, och en queerad relation till historien och tidigare generationer. Detta erbjuder ett radikalt annorlunda förhållningssätt till historiskt minne, tillhörighet och kollektiv gemenskap än vad vi är vana vid. Den inledande essän i Inga som vi presenteras här för första gången på svenska, i översättning och med förord av Viola Bao, litteraturkritiker på Dagens Nyheter och doktorand i litteraturvetenskap på Northwestern University i Chicago.STEPHEN BEST är kulturteoretiker och professor i afroamerikansk litteratur på UC Berkeley i Kalifornien. Hans skrivande kretsar bland annat kring afroamerikansk kulturhistoria, slaveriet som historiografiskt problem och lagstiftningens retorik och poetik. Utöver Inga som vi [None Like Us, 2018] är han författare till The Fugitive's Properties: Law and the Poetics of Possession.

It passes for an unassailable truth that the slave past provides an explanatory prism for understanding the black political present. In None Like Us Stephen Best reappraises what he calls “melancholy historicism”-a kind of crime scene investigation in which the forensic imagination is directed toward the recovery of a “we” at the point of “our” violent origin. Best argues that there is and can be no “we” following from such a time and place, that black identity is constituted in and through negation, taking inspiration from David Walker’s prayer that “none like us may ever live again until time shall be no more.” Best draws out the connections between a sense of impossible black sociality and strains of negativity that have operated under the sign of queer. In None Like Us the art of El Anatsui and Mark Bradford, the literature of Toni Morrison and Gwendolyn Brooks, even rumors in the archive, evidence an apocalyptic aesthetics, or self-eclipse, which opens the circuits between past and present and thus charts a queer future for black study.

In this provocative volume, a pioneering organizational psychologist explains that the failure of many human resource programs in business, education, and government is largely due to their mechanistic assumptions. By contrasting the classical human resource paradigm—and its emphasis on consistency and a clock-like structure to organizations— with the evolutionary paradigm and its focus on variation, conflicting interests and complexity, the author shows how shifting to an evolutionary perspective can make organizations more adaptive, hence human resource programs more attuned to human nature and to organizational realities.Colarelli gives a lively intellectual history of classical human resource management thinking, from Plato through the Renaissance to Marx and Taylor to the present, and shows that much of it is imbued with utopian ethos. This volume explodes the myths that there is one best way to organize, that organizations have goals and that human resource programs operate to further organizational goals or the good of the organization. The author explains the evolutionary logic that views organizations as collections of individuals pursuing their own interests and that human resource activities are inevitably enmeshed in personal and conflicting interests. Evolutionary-based interventions that are workable, innovative, and compassionate are presented for use in hiring and training. Colarelli also offers a novel approach to affirmative action to deal with the problems of fairness and performance.
