Through a discussion of the film Lilo and Stitch the author provides a description of three different discursive practices that define race for Africans within the United States. The first discursive construction describes social, political and economic distinctions between groups of persons, not individuals, as specific families, cultures, races and species. The second discursive construction is the description of social behaviour as the sole responsibility of the individual and therefore as a social type. The third discursive construction is that of the importance placed on the physical and aural description of persons in the definition of race. The articles concludes by discussing an alternative description of social community and belonging using the work of Octavia Butler.
