Happy to share my new article in @SmallAxeProject Keywords: Sexualities. I revisit the history of “kambrada” in the Dutch Caribbean, a term for same-sex loving women. Honored to be alongside @larrylafountain, @coutijacqueline, and Krystal Nandini Ghisyawan

Happy publication day to this book! After working on this project for a decade plus, I’m grateful for the opportunity to share this work with the world (and with it the wisdom of working people in Trinidad and Tobago).

Hearing Mayra Santos-Febres speak in person at Universidad de Puerto Rico for @SmallAxeProject "Caribbean Modernism II" symposium she had me at: "I like to write and think. I an erotic relationship to knowledge and I like it. It is part of being healthy. I like thinking a lot."

Thrilled to contribute to this new anthology of writings from Julia de Burgos, conceived and edited by @VanessaYPerez . I translated, among other iconic poems, "Yo fui la más callada" / "I Was the Quietest One." We share a taste for irony :-) utpress.utexas.edu/978147732…

My next new course will be about this book. Paired with World Revolution, James’s 1971 lectures (in @SmallAxeProject, 2000), James’s two plays, David Scott’s “Conscripts of Modernity,” and Rachel Douglas’s “Making the Black Jacobins.” Will be a bumper year for @DukePress.

“It is perhaps well-enough known, but still bears repeating, that what is astonishing about White Europeans, by contrast with White Americans, is their presumption of historical innocence, of goodness, of rationality, of virtue.”
David Scott's preface to sx 73, "Europe’s Disgrace" is now freely available. Read it here:
