SUMMARY:Puerto Rico Summer Uprising: What comes next?
DESCRIPTION:The Summer of 2019 marked a pivotal moment in the history of people’s struggles in the island of Puerto Rico. Two weeks of massive protests culminated in the ousting of then-governor Ricardo Roselló. Our event explores how this protest was a response to humiliation\, corruption\, and austerity measures imposed by a “fiscal oversight board\,” and also to a deeper crisis rooted in the colonial history of the island and to Disaster Capitalism woven together. The governing political and economic elites are responsible for the material impacts of Hurricane Maria’s mismanagement\, as they have prioritized opening markets and private enterprise over the incremental death rate\, lack of water\, destruction of infrastructure\, and closing of schools. Imposing austerity measures deepened the existing debt crisis in Puerto Rico and deepened the indignation of the middle and working classes. The revelation of the governor’s classist\, racist\, homophobic\, death-mocking\, and politics-playing communications with his inner circle triggered the massive response and exposed the intersectionality of oppressions that Puerto Ricans have endured\, along with decades of failed neo-liberal economic policies and corruption. These constitute an ongoing colonial process of structuring inequality through accumulation by dispossession and exploitation to which the Island was subject even before becoming a colony of the United States. \nThe Puerto Rico Summer Uprising event aims to understand the mobilizing efforts before and after the #PuertoRicanSummer through the perspectives of labor activists\, artists\, and civil rights monitors\, and to share lessons of participatory democracy and resistance in the 21st century. Most of all we want to explore what comes next: what are families\, communities and organizations envisioning for their present and their future emancipation? What is our role as US citizens in this pivotal moment in the history of the relationship between empire and colony? \nThis event is free and open to the public. ID is required to enter the building. \nCo-sponsored by the Latinx Project\, the Hemispheric Institute of Performance & Politics\, and the North American Congress on Latin America (NACLA) \nAbout the speakers: \nTomás Urayoán Noel (Moderator) is an Associate Professor of English and Spanish and Portuguese at New York University and taught at SUNY Albany from 2008 to 2014.

SUMMARY:Book Talk: Boukary Sawadogo
DESCRIPTION:Genre in African Screen Media: Comedy and TV Series \nFilm history shows that the medium developed from popular cinema to art house cinema. However\, the historical trajectory of African cinema shows a reverse pattern\, going from art house to popular cinema. The often assumed polygeneric nature of African cinema has remained for several decades the default approach to genre studies in the scholarship on African cinema. \nThe book talk is a discussion on comedy and other popular genres in West Africa. In contrast to art films or “auteur films” which tend to be confined to the festival circuit\, comedies\, TV Series\, and other popular genres are reaching today a far wider audience through local distribution networks\, satellite TV channels\, pirated DVDs\, and online distribution platforms. The development of video and digital technologies has also contributed to the production and distribution of popular genre cinema in Africa. The culturally rooted comic traditions of koteba theater and joking kinship have shaped West African comedies through various forms of humor. Débrouillardise (hustle) has turned the urban scene into a comic scene\, a site for individual realization. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nTags\nUnited States Events New York Events

SUMMARY:Book Talk: Kwasi Konadu
DESCRIPTION:Book Talk: Our Own Way in This Part of the World: Biography of an African Community\, Culture\, and Nation\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nKofi D?nk? was a blacksmith and farmer\, as well as an important healer\, intellectual\, spiritual leader\, settler of disputes\, and custodian of shared values for his Ghanaian community. In Our Own Way in This Part of the World Kwasi Konadu centers D?nk?’s life story and experiences in a communography of D?nk?’s community and nation from the late nineteenth century through the end of the twentieth\, which were shaped by historical forces from colonial Ghana’s cocoa boom to decolonization and political and religious parochialism. Although D?nk? touched the lives of thousands of citizens and patients\, neither he nor they appear in national or international archives covering the region. Yet his memory persists in his intellectual and healing legacy\, and the story of his community offers a non-national\, decolonized example of social organization structured around spiritual forces that serves as a powerful reminder of the importance for scholars to take their cues from the lived experiences and ideas of the people they study.

SUMMARY:338 BCE and the Transformation of Ancient Afro-Eurasia

SUMMARY:Graduate Writing Workshop Series
DESCRIPTION:The workshop is a grad-student-led space for junior scholars whose work spans various geographies related to Africa and its diaspora. This forum primarily comprises doctoral students in the History Department at NYU but is also open to students outside the department and the History field. Generally\, students present projects related to their Ph.D. research\, including dissertation chapters and journal article submissions. Still\, the space will be available to include more than just dissertation chapters to accommodate better the needs of first to third-years and MA students. \nIdeally\, there will be four sessions in the Fall semester (see schedule below)\, and each date would have one person present a piece of writing to the group\, with the rest providing critique like a standard writing group. We ask that all papers for the presentations be sent to the group at least one week before the meeting date to give everyone adequate time to prepare and that you cap submissions at 40 pages. \nThe workshop forum is structured with the presenter’s needs in mind\, so don’t hesitate to contact me if you are interested in presenting or have any questions about your potential fit. Please indicate if you are interested in presenting by completing this form. \n\nFor the Fall 2023 semester\, the CSAAD Graduate Student Writing Workshop will meet on the following dates and times:\n\n\n\n1. Thursday\, September 28\, 12-1:30 pm EST │ Register here\n\n2. Thursday\, October 19\, 12–1:30 pm EST │Register here\n\n\n3. Thursday\, November 30\, 12–1:30 pm EST │Register here\n\n\n4. Thursday\, December 13\,12-1:30 pm EST │Register here\n\n\n\n\n\nFor more information or questions\, please email nyuafricadiasporaworkshop@gmail.com

SUMMARY:When Haiti Was Our Cradle of Hope
DESCRIPTION:Event Recording here\nWednesday\, October 25th\, 2023\n\n\nTime: 5:00pm-6:30pm\n\n\nLocation: Silver Center of Arts & Science\, Hemmerdinger Hall\n\n\nFear of a Black Republic chronicles how Haiti’s triumphant ascendance created a beacon of hope for free and enslaved Black people throughout the African diaspora\, especially those fighting for freedom in the United States. Cognizant of Haiti’s centrality to the global struggle for Black liberation\, free and enslaved Black people in the U.S. waged an unyielding battle throughout the early nineteenth century to defend Haiti and its sovereignty. In so doing\, they gave birth to a new Black internationalist consciousness—one that not only demanded an end to slavery\, but also insisted on full freedom\, equality\, and sovereignty for Black people throughout the African diaspora. \n \nDr. Leslie Alexander is the Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr. Professor of History at Rutgers University and is a Fellow at the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at Harvard University. A specialist in early African American and African Diaspora history\, she is the author of African or American?: Black Identity and Political Activism in New York City\, 1784-1861\, and Fear of a Black Republic: Haiti and the Birth of Black Internationalism in the United States. She is also the co-editor of three additional volumes\, including Ideas in Unexpected Places: Reimagining the Boundaries of Black Intellectual History. Her current research\, which appears in The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story\, examines how surveillance of free and enslaved Black communities in the colonial and antebellum eras laid the foundation for modern-day policing. A three-time Ford Foundation fellowship recipient\, Alexander is the immediate Past President of the Association for the Study of the Worldwide African Diaspora (ASWAD) and serves on the Advisory Councils for the National Council for Black Studies\, the Journal of African American History\, Black Perspectives\, The Black Scholar\, and the Montpelier Foundation Board. \n  \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies. \nEvent Recording here

SUMMARY:Kenya’s Intervention in Haiti: An interrogation of Impetus\, Objectives\, and Consequences
DESCRIPTION:Entèvansyon Kenya ann Ayiti:\nYon entèwogasyon sou Motivasyon\, Objektif\, ak Konsekans\nTuesday\, November 21st\, 2023 \n12:00PM (NYC/Port-au-Prince) \n9:00AM (LA/Vancouver) \n8:00PM (Nairobi) \nRegister here \nIn September 2023\, the United Nations Security Council voted for the deployment of multinational military forces to combat gang violence in Haiti. The United States pledged U$200 million and Kenya more than 1\,000 troops from its police force. \nProgressive organizations and activists in Haiti and its diasporas denounce the mission\, naming it as an occupation. They argue that\, since 2004\, Haiti has already been under the direct political\, economic\, and social control of the United Nations\, and more precisely the United States. Moreover they recall that  it is under U.S. tutelage that many of Haiti’s most murderous gangs formed and multiplied. \nSimilarly\, progressives in Kenya and its diaspora mobilize to halt the impending occupation of Haiti. They advance that Kenyan state leaders serve as sub-imperialists of the West\, especially  the U.S.\, as Kenyan armed forces are used to repress populations within the country’s borders  and in neighboring African countries. \nThis panel is a dialogue between Haitian and Kenyan internationalists about the implications of a Kenya-led military intervention in  Haiti. It features Jemima Pierre\, Professor of Global Race at the University of British Columbia (Canada) and Haiti/Americas Team-Coordinator for Black Alliance for Peace (U.S.); Georges Eddy Lucien\, Professor of History and Geography at the Université d’Etat d’Haiti (Haiti); Willy Mutunga\, retired Professor of Law at the University of Nairobi\, former Chief Justice of Kenya\, and former President of the Supreme Court (Kenya); and Boniface Mwangi\, renowned photo-journalist activist (Kenya). \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Critics of the Oyo Empire and Atlantic Modernity in the Age of Revolution: Rethinking Black Atlantic Historiography with Archaeology and Òrìṣà Archives
DESCRIPTION:December 4th\, 2023 \n5:30 pm -7:00 pm \nSilver Center\,  Hemmerdinger Hall \nRegister here for in-person  \nAttend via Zoom here \nIn this talk\, Ogundiran will discuss the debates and dialogues that happened in the Oyo Empire (West Africa) in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries about rights and privileges\, marginalization and power\, and politics of difference between the metropolis and the provinces\, women and men\, and the state and society. These dialogues\, he argues\, were part of the discontentment with Early Modernity that gave birth to the Age of Revolution. However\, Africa has been mostly elided from the historiography of this revolutionary period because the modalities of Africa-centered dialogues about the early modern experience have been outside the reach of traditional historical methods. Ogundiran demonstrates the need to pay attention to the Yorùbá Òrìṣà archives and the archaeology of place in order to broaden the historiography of the Black Atlantic and the Age of Revolution. \n \nAkin Ogundiran is Cardiss Collins Professor of History and Arts & Sciences at Northwestern University and a Senior Fellow of Gardens and Landscape Studies at Dumbarton Oaks\, Washington DC. He is broadly interested in the archaeology and history of Africa over the past 2\,500 years\, with an emphasis on the Yorùbá world. His research has been supported by the National Geographic Society\, the National Endowment for the Humanities\, the National Humanities Center\, and the American Philosophical Society. He is the author/editor/co-editor of several books\, including The Yorùbá: A New History (2020)\, winner of the Vinson Sutlive Prize and Isaac Delano Prize. \nRegister here for in-person \nAttend via Zoom here\n  \nFor accommodations\, please contact the Administrative Aide for the Center for the Study of Africa and the African Diaspora at Muna.Diaf@nyu.edu by November 20th\, 2023.

SUMMARY:The Shadow Crisis and the Matter of Defense Funds in Scottsboro
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, January 31st\, 2024 \n5:30pm – 7:00pm \n20 Cooper Square\, Room 101 \nRegister here for in-person  \nAttend via Zoom here \nThe central crisis in the Scottsboro case of the 1930s was to keep these boys alive by freeing them from prison. Yet\, the well-being of the boys and their families proved to be the crisis in the shadows. This first mass fundraising campaign for racial justice privileged legal defense funds. However\, their mothers’ work as fundraisers and the commitment of the International Labor Defense to distribute money directly to the boys in prison and to their families reveals the complications of movement money. In this talk\, Dr. Mills offers a defense of an expanded view of defense funds which were required to ensure these boys and their mothers would not be ravaged by Alabama\, white supremacy\, or capitalism. \n \nQuincy Mills  is Director of Graduate Studies and Associate Professor of History at the University of Maryland\, College Park. He received his Ph.D. in History from the University of Chicago. His research interests attend to the ways African Americans’ wages\, wealth\, and overall financial well-being helped shape black public spaces\, political engagement\, and activism.  Dr. Mills is the author of Cutting Along the Color Line: Black Barbers and Barber Shops in America (2013). With Benjamin Talton he edited the anthology Black Subjects in Africa and Its Diasporas: Race and Gender in Research and Writing (2011). He also edited William Still’s Reconstruction-era book The Underground Railroad Record: Narrating the Hardships\, Hairbreadth Escapes\, and Death Struggles of Slaves in Their Efforts for Freedom (2019). He is currently working on his second monograph tentatively titled “Movement Money: Crises\, Relief\, and the Economy of Activism during the Civil Rights Movement.” \nRegister here for in-person \nAttend via Zoom here
