Webinar: Crossing Borders, Navigating Race: Blackness and Migration in the Americas

Description

Whether we consider migration to the U.S., within the US, or to alternative destinations in the Americas as result of barriers to entering the U.S., consideration of race is interwoven throughout. Blackness is both negotiated and navigated, as will be illustrated by the presentations on Haitian migrants to the U.S., Afro-Cubans in South Florida, and Senegalese migrants in Argentina. Ermitte Saint Jacques, Moderator (Assistant Professor, African and African Diaspora Studies, UW-Milwaukee) Monika Gosin, Associate Professor of Sociology at the College of William & Mary presents “Becoming (Afro) Cuban in Miami” Jeffrey Kahn, Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the University of California, Davis presents “Haitian Migration and the History of the Present” Ida Marie Savio Vammen, Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Danish Institute for International Studies presents “Contesting Borders: movement and friction in the lives of Senegalese migrants in Argentina”
