Black Consciousness in Latin America

  • Posted by African History Project
  • Categories Public Lectures
  • Date 30 August 2022

Over the last few years, from Chicago to Cape Town, San Diego to Santa Domingo, global Africa has been re-assessing the legacies of emancipation, de-colonisation, and the civil rights movements of the last century and a half. 

One of the most significant impacts of the recent campaigns against racial injustice and sexual violence spearheaded by African Americans in the United States has been the triggering of increased race consciousness and political organising within the Black diasporas of Latin America and the Caribbean like never before seen. 

Dr Mzilikazi Koné, Associate Professor of Political Science at College of the Desert, California, has been researching race, gender, and community organising in Latin America for over a decade. In this highly engaging lecture and conversation, Dr Koné introduces us to the Black diasporic communities of Latin America, providing insight into their historic and contemporary patterns of social and political organising, and dissects what this all means for regional and global schemes of Pan-African action.
