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:Dropping BLKC (Black Latinas Know Collective) Knowledge
DESCRIPTION:In this interactive roundtable\, members of the newly formed Black Latinas Know Collective (BLKC) will discuss the BLCK Statement (https://www.blacklatinasknow.org/) and the ways in which Black Latina scholars and their knowledge productions challenge and re-think Latinx Studies\, Black Studies\, Latin American and Caribbean Studies\, and traditional social science and humanities disciplines. \n. . . . . \nAmarilys Estrella is a Ph.D. candidate in Anthropology at New York University. Her dissertation research examines the role of human rights law and discourse in transnational activism against anti-Black racism. She holds a Master’s in Latin America and Caribbean Studies from New York University. Amarilys is 2018-2019 Public Humanities Fellow\, working closely with the New York City based collective We Are All Dominican (WAAD) in designing a transnational campaign to address the denationalization of Dominicans of Haitian descent in the Dominican Republic\, as well as global anti-immigrant and anti-Black sentiment. Prior to her doctoral studies she was the Program Officer for Haiti and the Dominican Republic at American Jewish World Service\, an international human rights organization. \n. . . . . \nCurator\, Latinx Studies\, Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture An African American educator and a Black Panamanian engineering research technician raised Dr. Ariana Curtis\, the youngest of their four kids\, in an Afro-Latinx affirming household. Government forms and ill-informed publics have wanted her to be either African American or Latina\, but Curtis has always advocated for full and accurate representation of self above all. \nThe yearning to see lives represented whole led Curtis to travel and study the complex overlap of Blackness\, identity\, gender\, diaspora and belonging. After earning a doctorate in anthropology\, Curtis\, a Fulbright scholar\, joined the curatorial staff of the Smithsonian Institution. She currently serves as the first curator for Latinx Studies at the National Museum of African American History and Culture. In this role\, she researches\, collects\, exhibits and promotes Latinx- and Black-centered narratives to more accurately represent the history and culture of the Americas. She also serves on multiple committees for the Smithsonian’s American Women History Initiative. She’s the author of the paper “Afro-Latinidad in the Smithsonian’s African American Museum Spaces” and the chapter “Identity as Profession: on Becoming an African American Panamanian Afro-Latina Anthropologist Curator” in Pan African Spaces: Essays on Black Transnationalism. She’s is passionate about Afro-Latinidad\, her Omega Phi Beta sisterhood\, social justice\, radical love\, the Duke Blue Devils and hoop earrings. \n. . . . . \nDr. Clealand received her Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in Political Science and joined the faculty at Florida International University in 2012. Her research examines comparative racial politics\, group consciousness\, black public opinion and racial inequality with a focus on the Spanish-speaking Caribbean and the United States. Dr. Clealand’s book\, The Power of Race in Cuba: Racial Ideology and Black Consciousness during the Revolution\, winner of the 2018 Best Book Award from the Race\, Ethnicity and Politics Section of the American Political Science Association\, examines racial ideology and the institutional mechanisms that support racial inequality in Cuba as well as black public opinion. The book outlines structural racism the island and the experiences of discrimination that create a foundation for black solidarity. Through survey\, ethnographic\, and interview data\, The Power of Race in Cuba draws from the many black spaces on the island\, both formal and informal\, to highlight what constitutes black consciousness in Cuba. Dr. Clealand’s current projects focus on racism and black consciousness in Puerto Rico and political attitudes and identity among Afro-Latinos in the United States. Dr. Clealand teaches courses such as Caribbean Politics\, Cuban Politics\, Black Politics in the Americas\, Latino Politics\, and Race and Politics in the United States. She is the recipient of the McKnight Junior Faculty Fellowship for the 2017-2018 academic year. Before joining the faculty at Florida International University\, she was a visiting fellow at the Department of African American Studies at Princeton University. \n. . . . . \nProfessor Dinzey-Flores is an Associate Professor in Department of Latino and Caribbean Studies and the Department of Sociology. Her research focuses on understanding how urban space mediates community life and race\, class\, and social inequality. She uses an interdisciplinary lens (sociology\, urban planning\, public policy)\, mixed-method approaches\, and often a comparative Caribbean-U.S. framework\, to investigate the processes that cement the built environment and unequally distribute power. She is particularly interested in housing and urban residential (housing and neighborhood) design: the underlying logics and policies that drive design\, how design is interpreted\, used\, and experienced\, and the consequences for inequality among communities and residents of cities. Her book\, Locked In\, Locked Out: Gated Communities in a Puerto Rican City (University Of Pennsylvania Press: 2013)\, winner of the 2014 Robert E. Park Award of the Community and Urban Sociology Section (CUSS) of the American Sociological Association and an Honorable Mention of the 2014 Frank Bonilla Book Award of the Puerto Rican Studies Association\, examines race and class inequality as they are recreated\, contained\, and negotiated through urban policy\, the physical built environment\, and community gates in private and public housing. Dinzey-Flores is currently working on two projects: the first is a mixed-method examination of how race is articulated in residential real estate practices in demographically changing neighborhoods in Brooklyn\, NY; the second\, looks at the transatlantic circulation of housing planning and design ideals in the middle of the 20th Century. She is also collaborating on a mobile data project seeking to understand racial segregation as it occurs in motion and a mixed-media project on construction in the Caribbean. \n. . . . . \nMiriam Jiménez Roman: Executive Director of Afro Latin@ Forum. \nI’ve spent most of my life trying to reconcile the many spaces I inhabit as a Black Puerto Rican woman. Raised in the projects in East Harlem during the 1960s\, I received all of my formal education in public schools and universities (mostly at Binghamton University) at a time when race and ethnic studies was being imagined and demanded. I owe my less formal but likely strongest intellectual\, professional and personal development to the African diasporic community of scholars and activists whose work continues to inspire me. I taught my first course on the African presence in the Americas in 1991 while employed as exhibitions coordinator at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture and where I subsequently served as assistant director of the Scholars in Residence program. Questioning accepted wisdom and pushing established boundaries between theory and practice\, scholarship and activism\, Latinidad and Blackness has permitted me to contribute to a broader acknowledgement of the Black Latin@ experience\, most notably through the advocacy work of the AfroLatin@ Forum (2005) and the publication of The AfroLatin@ Reader: History and Culture in the United States (2010). I am also a co-editor of the AfroLatin@ Diasporas book series at Palgrave. \n. . . . . \nMaritza Quiñones: Academic Advisor\, Anthropology\, Univeristy of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. \nI am a Black Latina. I am originally from Carolina\, Puerto Rico\, a town with a strong black history and silent stories. I am a first generation college graduate who came to the U.S. mainland in 1980 (something). My experiences with race\, gender\, sexuality\, and language in Puerto Rico and later at the university\, in Indiana\, led me to writing. Silence and secrecy were for ever present in my life\, and writing became a way to share my voice. While in college\, U.S. Black and Caribbean women writers helped me understand racism\, violence\, beauty\, love\, and the power of telling our stories as a form of pedagogy. As a graduate student\, I wrote for an audience\, who like me\, were not represented in books. From Trigueñita to Afro-Puerto Rican: Intersections of the racialized\, gendered\, and sexualized body in Puerto Rico and the U.S. mainland represents a fusion of my experiences\, academic journey\, and hope for continued sharing. I am a proud Salsa music aficionado and devout mother of two young adult Black Latinos. \n. . . . . \nJomaira Salas Pujols: Ph.D. Student\, Sociology\, Rutgers University. \nI am a Black Latina and the daughter of working-class Dominican immigrants. I was raised by generations of Dominican women who showed me what love\, care\, laughter\, and accountability looks like in practice. I am committed to centering\, listening\, and learning from other Black girls and girls of color who challenge oppression in their everyday lives. As a PhD student in Sociology at Rutgers University\, I study the visible and invisible ways in which women of color resist and unsettle educational institutions. I also create social justice-centered curriculums and trainings on college access for local non-profit institutions. I conduct research on Afro-Latin@ racial identity and the Census through the Afro-Latin@ Forum and serve as a special representative on the board of trustees of my alma mater\, Bryn Mawr College. I love swimming\, reading\, yoga\, and the Real Housewives of Atlanta. \n. . . . . \nVanessa V. Valdés: Director of Black Studies\, City College\, CUNY. \nI am the director of the Black Studies Program at The City College of New York-CUNY. Born and raised in New York City to Black Puerto Rican parents\, I am a graduate of Yale and Vanderbilt Universities. My research focuses on the cultural production of peoples of African descent throughout the Americas: the United States and Latin America\, including the Caribbean and Brazil. I am the editor of The Future Is Now: A New Look at African Diaspora Studies (2012) and Let Spirit Speak! Cultural Journeys through the African Diaspora (2012). I am the author of Oshun’s Daughters: The Search for Womanhood in the Americas (2014) and Diasporic Blackness: The Life and Times of Arturo Alfonso Schomburg (2017). I am the series editor of Afro-Latinx Futures\, a book series dedicated to centering Blackness as a theoretical frame in scholarly monographs and edited collections in the humanities and social sciences.

SUMMARY:Africa~Diaspora Forum: Peter Hulme
DESCRIPTION:Drums over Harlem: Signifying Africa\, 1919-1932 \nIn the 1920s in New York the jazz cabaret was seen as offering what the writer Eric Walrond called “Africa undraped”\, and its sound was the tom-tom.  This talk will explore the period’s fascination with that instrument and with what it might signify\, focusing on two texts entitled Tom-Tom\, both of which offer to associate contemporary Harlem with “Africa”\, in one or another of its manifestations.\nPeter Hulme is Emeritus Professor at the University of Essex\, where he taught for 40 years.  His books include Colonial Encounters: Europe and the Native Caribbean\, 1492 1797 (1986)\, Cuba’s Wild East: A Literary Geography of Oriente (2011)\, and The Dinner at Gonfarone’s: Salomón de la Selva’s Pan-American Project in Nueva York\, 1915-1919 (2019).

SUMMARY:African Diaspora Forum-Maya Trotz (U. of South Florida) and Kevin Rhiney (Rutgers U.)
DESCRIPTION:Caribbean in the Flux of Change – People\, Land\, Air & Sea \n  \nBattered States and ‘Resilient’ Futures? A Critical Reflection on the Caribbean post Irma-Maria \nKevon Rhiney\, Rutgers University \n  \nRoughly one month after hurricanes Irma and Maria battered the Caribbean nation of Dominica\, Roosevelt Skerrit\, the Dominican Prime Minister asserted\, “we have a unique opportunity to be an example to the world\, an example of how an entire nation rebounds from disaster and how an entire nation can be climate resilient for the future.” Skerrit’s message relays a common theme emerging throughout the Caribbean after the devastating 2017 hurricane season\, that saw two of the most powerful hurricanes in recorded history wreaking havoc across the region. Though Irma and Maria serve as a stark reminder of how vulnerable the Caribbean is to extreme climate events\, there seem to be a growing emphasis on the opportunities presented by the post-hurricane situation. Ideas around resilience and ‘building back better’ are increasingly being used to justify recovery efforts aimed at rethinking existing development paradigms. At the same time\, events that have unfolded since Irma and Maria have revealed just how much these ‘natural’ disasters intertwine with underlying issues of non/sovereignty and uneven development. In this talk\, I demonstrate how the current post-hurricane situation has become a highly contested and politicized post/colonial terrain\, and offer some initial thoughts on how we might best understand these recent developments. This includes a foregrounding of the historical legacies driving modern-day vulnerabilities across the region\, and a rethinking of ‘resilience’ as a precondition for securing sustainable Caribbean futures under a changing climate. \n  \n  \nCaribbean People Centered Resilient Futures   \nMaya Trotz\, University of South Florida \n  \nResilience\, Build Back Better\, Climate Adaptation – commonly used terms in the Caribbean region today for new climate financing mechanisms like the Green Climate Fund (GCF). Having a job that puts food on the table gets packaged as investments in workforce development with a particular emphasis on gender\, improved irrigation for agriculture\, value add nutritional crops\, and improved livelihoods. Restoring a coral reef devastated by an earthquake and/or hurricane becomes a coastal resilience project to increase biodiversity\, flood protection\, science literacy on climate change\, the number of women licensed as tour guides\, and improve livelihoods. As the region plans to raise the funds and spend billions of dollars on infrastructure for the provision of food\, water\, electricity\, transportation etc.\, designing the projects for that investment provides opportunities for meaningful community engagement\, including inter island and diaspora relations. Using projects that I have worked on in the Caribbean\, this talk discusses opportunities and challenges to build more community focused solutions and management practices for critical resources. These projects range from 1) Water Sector Resilience for Sustainability in Barbados\, a GCF funded project to the Caribbean Community Climate Change Center for the Barbados Water Authority\, 2) Reefs of Hope\, a $100 million dollar 100&Change proposal\, and 3) a sustainability challenge for high school students in 12 Caribbean countries\, the Sagicor Visionaries Challenge.

SUMMARY:BOOK TALK: AFGHANISTAN RISING WITH FAIZ AHMED
DESCRIPTION:August 19\, 2019 marks the 100th anniversary of Afghanistan’s independence from Britain. Commemorating the roots and legacies of that watershed event\, Faiz Ahmed presents a vibrant account of the first Muslim-majority country to form a fully sovereign government\, ratify a constitution\, and promulgate an original body of national laws after the fall of the Ottoman Empire. Debunking conventional narratives of Afghanistan as a perennial war zone and remote frontier\, his recently published book Afghanistan Rising rediscovers a time when Kabul stood proudly as a center of constitutional politics and contested visions of reform in the greater Islamicate world. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCosponsors: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFaiz Ahmed is Associate Professor of History at Brown University. He specializes in legal and constitutional history in the Ottoman Empire\, Middle East\, and South-Central Asia\, as well as the social history of diasporic communities connected to these regions. His first book\, Afghanistan Rising: Islamic Law and Statecraft between the Ottoman and British Empires\, was published with Harvard University Press in November 2017. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nOur discussant\, Ayşe Baltacıoğlu-Brammer\, is currently an Assistant Professor of History and Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies at NYU.  Ayşe is a specialist in Middle Eastern history with a focus on early modern Ottoman and Safavid Empires. Her research interests are centered around questions surrounding the Sunni-Shi‘ite conflict during the early modern period and its enmeshment with issues of political\, religious\, and fiscal legitimacy in inter-confessional and inter-imperial contact zones. \n

SUMMARY:RACISMS IN COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE: “INNOCENCE LOST”
DESCRIPTION:CLACS is proud to present “Innocence Lost”\,  by Marie Cruz Soto (NYU Gallatin) as part of the Racisms in Comparative Perspective Working Group. \nAbstract: \n“Innocent Lost” is the fifth chapter of The Life of Isla Nena: Disposability\, Unruliness and the Colonial Order of Things in Vieques\, Puerto Rico.  The book manuscript broadly traces the makings of disposability and the efforts to unmake it.  It delves into how islanders have been branded disposable and into how that disposability has hinged on the value assigned by empires to the island over the past five centuries.  The colonial order of things in Vieques has made not only racialized others but disposable ones.  Chapter 5 discusses the entrance of the U.S. Navy into Vieques and the changes it forced upon the island-community.  The 1940s expropriations of three-fourths of the island to make way for the Navy destroyed agricultural activities and broke people’s attachments to land and barrios.  It precipitated a re-articulation of communal bonds and overall politics of belonging.  Furthermore\, the arrival of the Navy made the Viequense identity inseparable from the experience of displacement and dispossession.  To be a Viequense after the 1940s has been in many ways to be an expropiada.  But an unruly one. \nAbout Marie Cruz Soto: \nMarie Cruz Soto received her Ph.D. in History from the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\, and teaches at the Gallatin School of Individualized Study\, New York University.  She is interested in processes of becoming that denote the workings of empires\, and in decolonizing struggles to un-become.  Her works focuses on Vieques\, Puerto Rico\, and explores how colonialism\, particularly in its militarized iteration\, has impacted the island-community.  She is currently working on a book tentatively titled The Life of Isla Nena: Disposability\, Unruliness and the Colonial Order of Things in Vieques\, Puerto Rico.  It traces how Viequenses have been branded disposable through a long history of violent imperial interventions.  She argues that the marking of disposability ensures a vulnerable and unruly population. \nCruz Soto is also a peace activist who has participated in Viequense community initiatives\, in the organization New York Solidarity with Vieques and in transnational networks of solidarity against U.S. military bases. \nAbout Racisms in Comparative Perspective Working Group: \nIn this new/old political context\, discussions about race and racisms have exploded. Postraciality and the multicultural rights frame are being challenged at the core and more intensely than ever before\, glimpses of proto-fascist policies and actions are on the rise.  As a working group which is part of the larger Red de Investigacion Accion Antiracista en las Americas (RAIAR)\, we want to continue contributing to the debate on how best to fight against this emergent racist/classist backlash. The analysis of race and racism in the Americas being done by our presenters since 2010 when Carmen Medeiros and Pamela Started the started the group. \nThis event is free and open to the public. ID is required to access the building. The conversation will be held in English. \n
