Call for Papers for the 2nd International Conference of the Black Americas Network (deadline May 1): For the African American freedom struggle, 1968 was a watershed year: the assassination of Civil Rights icon Martin Luther King Jr. on April 4, 1968 accelerated the rise of the Black Power Movement – one of the broadest assaults on white supremacy in the long history of emancipation struggles that have defined the Afro-diasporic presence in the Americas. Committed to the conceptualization of a hemispheric perspective on Afro-diasporic movements and cultures, the conference is intended to deepen the transdisciplinary dialogues between scholars, activists, and artists.
