SUMMARY:Year of Global Africa: The Urgency of a Black Feminist Solidarity Project in the Americas
DESCRIPTION:
 Dr. Keisha-Khan Y. Perry, associate professor 
 of Africana Studies at Brown University, specializes 
 in the critical study of race, gender 
 and politics in the Americas. Her recent book, 
 "Black Women against the Land Grab: The Fight 
 for Racial Justice in Brazil," is an ethnographic 
 study of black women's activisim in 
 Brazilian cities. Dr. Perry is currently working 
 on a multi-lingual and transnational exploration 
 of black women's political work in Latin 
 America by critically examining how black 
 women mobilize political movements across borders 
 and how they understand themselves as agents 
 in creating a diasporic community. Two 
 MSU faculty members will offer commentary based 
 on their own scholarship: Leonora Paula from 
 RCAH, who will speak from her own research 
 in Brazil, and Tamara Butler from the Department 
 of English, who will respond based on her 
 scholarship on related issues in the U.S.\n
