SUMMARY:The Global South and the Black Diaspora--From Mississippi to the Caribbean
DESCRIPTION:A two-day event with keynote presentations by Dr. Jarvis McInnis\, the Cordelia and William Laverack Assistant Professor of English at Duke University. A graduate of Tougaloo College\, Dr. McInnis’s upcoming book\, The Afterlives of the Plantation: Aesthetics\, Labor\, and Diaspora in the Global Black South\, examines black transnational identity through African American and Caribbean culture and literature during the early twentieth century. McInnis’s recognition that black identities overlapped as much as they diverged\, offers a unique insight into this period of history where the consolidation of white power–through imperialist growth and systematic black disempowerment–tend to dominate the historical narrative. \n \nMcInnis offers two lectures\, both free and open to the public: \nWednesday\, March 4th @ 6pm\, at Millsaps College (focused on the book project with an eye toward the meaning of the “Global South” and racial identity \nThursday\, March 5th @ 12PM\, at the 2020 Mississippi Historical Society’s annual meeting in Cleveland\, MS (focused on his archival journey and the process of developing his recently published article\, “A Corporate Plantation Reading Public: Labor\, Literacy\, and Diaspora in the Global South\,”–Which focuses on Cotton Farmer\, an African American newspaper published by black tenant farmers in the Mississippi Delta.)
