SUMMARY:338 BCE and the Transformation of Ancient Afro-Eurasia
DESCRIPTION:The second half of the 4th c. BCE witnesses a series of dramatic transformations throughout Afro-Eurasia\, foremost among them a rapid escalation in state formation processes and the emergence of new (or newly aggressive) territorial empires. Concentrating on the 330s BCE\, this lecture will pair a thick description of these transformations with an attempt at their analysis.  \n \nDan-el Padilla Peralta is Associate Professor of Classics\, and associated faculty in African American Studies\, at Princeton University.

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.
