Carole Boyce Davies: Dis/locations and Caribbean Transnationality

Carole Boyce Davies Headshot

On April 12th, 2018, Carole Boyce Davies gave a guest lecture titled "Dis/locations and Caribbean Transnationality" and answered a short Q & A afterwards. 

Bob Marley's "Exodus" captures the logic of movement and in some ways reveals the Caribbean as a site of diaspora creation in multiple forms and from a variety of continental locations (Africa, India, Europe, the Mediterranean). Interesting  links between the past and the present, location and dis(location), coloniality and decoloniality provide a much broader understanding of what constitutes the Caribbean.  We will look at how people, ideas, and movements have circulated across space and time through the Americas and globally.
