(2/25/15) C.L.R. James and the Occupation of Haiti @ Barnard College

In February 2015, Kaiama Glover and Maja Horn invited me to visit their class at Barnard College, Translating Hispaniola, and to present my research as part of their speaker series.

I visited their class on the day that they were discussing the U.S. occupation of Haiti. I presented from my current research, focusing especially on C.L.R. James’s play Toussaint Louverture and history The Black Jacobins in relation to the occupation.

More information about the event can be found here.

A published version of this presentation appears in the journal Cultural Critique.
