Programs in Anthropology are excited to announce an upcoming book talk with program alumni Darléne Dubuisson and Amelia Herbert. Darléne Dubuisson, Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Pittsburgh, will be in conversation with Barnard Professor Amelia Herbert, as she discusses her new book, Reclaiming Haiti’s Futures: Returned Intellectuals, Placemaking, and Radical Imagination. This event is co-sponsored by Columbia University's Committee on Global Thought and the Center for the Study of Ethnicity and Race.

Haiti was once a beacon of Black liberatory futures, but now is often depicted as a place with no future. Reclaiming Haiti's Futures tells a different story, highlighting two generations of Haitian scholars who returned home after crises to partake in social change and work toward creating places of belonging through improvisation, rasanblaj (assembly) and radical imagination.

The book talk will take place on April 1st at 6:15 PM in Hamilton 420. Please register for the event at this link.
