The life of a prof and project director. Scheduling got in the way so a raw video replaced live office hours today. I will be back next week! Promise! Meanwhile, this week’s audio offering is giving me a chance to experiment with the podcast feature.
Audio for all above and a few topics below.
Topics Discussed:
Essah Diaz et al., The AfroCENTRO Reader: Revisiting Black Puerto Rican Scholarship (CENTRO Journal, 2024), https://centropr.hunter.cuny.edu/publications/the-afrocentro-reader-revisiting-black-puerto-rican-scholarship/.
Zora Neale Hurston et al., Barracoon: The Story of the Last “Black Cargo” (Amistad, 2018).
Carla Kaplan, Zora Neale Hurson: A Life in Letters (Anchor, 2007).
Sarah Bruno, Essah Diaz, Jessica Marie Johnson, Daniel Morales-Armstrong, Special Issue of Centro: The Journal of the Center for Puerto Rican Studies, Water Proof: Olas de Memoria ( pring 2025 issue of Centro edited by members of Taller Entre Aguas, a Black Puerto Rican collective)
See you next week. Unless the world explodes with breaking news, expect more Barracoon or a Black DH (digital humanities) reading list. Let me know if there’s a preference.
Lives and post-live videos are still only for paid subscribers, something like a limited preview, just for y’all, of something wild and raw that I am still trying out. I am grateful for your support, patience, and generosity in these times of cruelty and hyper critique. Let’s keep having fun with this together.
But I will keep posting audio clips and topics for all. xo. jmj
