By black women, I refer in this instance, to black  crossover griots in the European context." <em>Joan Anim-Addo</em></P> <br > <P>"We must follow the invitation of  The Bill of Rights for Racially Mixed People and  create a vocabulary in order to give visibility to the unrepresented, because  self-labelling is empowerment. It is a proclamation of existence (Maria P. P. Root, 2002: 365). This proclamation of existence for races, genders, and sexualities demanding representation must surely be uttered in the  crossover griot advocated by Joan Anim-Addo, which plainly makes us see that  Europe becomes blacker / but it was always dark you know & European Black folks & the children of mixture / die Mischlingen / bambini di sangue misto / the crossover babies. / & number in the millions (Cliff, 1985: 108)." <em>Giovanna Covi</em><br ></P><BR> </td> <TD width="10%" > &nbsp; </TD> </tr></table> </html>
