1976 #BlackStudies syllabus from a class my mother took as a pre-med student at City College, CUNY. Nice to see her notes. She passed away last year.
Happy to know she read. #EricWilliams Capitalism and Slavery 🇹🇹 #Maroon societies.
The Caribbean and Brazil in conversation.
It’s not all negative. I’ve made/making a few contributions to Black History Month, which it still is by the way.
Obviously many engage in these events for neoliberal capitalistic purposes or maybe for egotistical purposes. But if we ever going to get anywhere collectively, stepping back from these events and opportunities is a start, as is being critical of them.
Everyone shows up in the world with their own renderings of their Blackness or African descended heritage, so I’m not out here to judge anyone. But when I’m seeing pictures of people kee keeing it up with the establishment, I just don’t get it.
