Recording of “Media narratives of insurgencies, resistance, and anti-racism in Latin America and the Caribbean”

My first event as Interim Chair of African Studies is now available.

This recording of the roundtable, held on October 28, 2021, features scholars Camila Daniel, Meyby Ugueto-Ponce, and Sharún Gonzales Matute who recently edited a special issue for Conexión. Focusing on collective action in Latin America’s African Diaspora, these scholar-activists explore the numerous ways Black women mobilize resistance against racism in Brazil, Venezuela, and Peru. They were in conversation with Monica Rojas-Stewart, assistant director of African Studies/LACS and founder of the DE CAJóN Project and MÁS – Movimiento Afrolatino Seattle. This discussion was held bilingually (Spanish/English).
