SUMMARY:Muriam Haleh Davis – The Absent Preface: Algerian Readings of Frantz Fanon after Independence
DESCRIPTION:In 1959\, Ferhat Abbas\, the President of the GPRA (Provisional Government of the Algerian Republic)\, refused Frantz Fanon’s request to write a preface for L’An V de la révolution algérienne. This never-written preface is emblematic of a larger silence regarding the lively Algerian debates on Fanon’s writings after independence. By foregrounding North African interpretations of Fanon’s work\, this talk asks a series of questions about the capture of revolutionary thought\, the role of national frameworks in global intellectual history\, and the possibilities of epistemological “delinking.” \nMuriam Haleh Davis is an Associate Professor of History at UCSC. Her first book\, Markets of Civilization: Islam and Racial Capitalism in Algeria\, was published by Duke University Press in 2022. She has also co-edited North Africa and the Making of Europe: Governance\, Institutions\, and Culture\, which was published by Bloomsbury Press in 2018. Her academic writing has been published by the Journal of Modern Intellectual History\, Middle East Critique\, the Journal of Contemporary History\, Lateral\, and 20 et 21: Revue d’histoire. She has also authored pieces for the Los Angeles Review of Books\, Al Jazeera English\, Public Books\, and Truth Out. She is co-chair of the editorial committee for MERIP (Middle East Research and Information Project) and is co-editor of the Maghreb Page for Jadaliyya. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \nThe Center for Cultural Studies hosts a weekly Wednesday colloquium featuring work by faculty and visitors. We gather at 12:00 PM\, with presentations beginning at 12:15 PM. \nStaff assistance is provided by The Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:Dr. D. B. Maroon -  Black Lives\, American Love: Essays on Race and Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Our own UCSC alumna\, Dr. D. B. Maroon (PhD Anthropology\, 2006) will talk about her newly released book\, Black Lives\, American Love: Essays on Race and Resilience. This talk will take place in the Humanities Building\, Room 210 on January 17th from 3:30 pm to 5:00 pm. \nD. B. Maroon is an author\, anthropologist\, and speaker. Recognized for evoking the literary and ethnographic grace of Zora Neale Hurston with a bold fusion of cultural observation and sun-woven truth-telling\, D.B. Maroon writes critical essays\, poetry\, and fiction. Her work has been published in Spirit and Flame: An Anthology of Contemporary African American Poetry; Spirited: Affirming the Soul and Black Gay Lesbian Identity; and Publics\, Politics\, and Participation. \nD.B. Maroon’s\, Black Lives\, American Love delivers relentless truth-telling and timely discussions that will provoke and inspire you. This book is a hard-hitting personal biography of America\, Blackness\, and racial politics. From an opening essay on the birth of the Black Lives Matter movement to debates on the 1619 project and the rippling impact of resurgent white nationalism\, the golden thread of each essay is a call to greater truth as the first step toward reconciliation. \nPlease contact Megan Moodie (mmoodie@ucsc.edu) for an excerpt of the book. \nThere will also be a limited-space\, in-person workshop the following day\, January 18th\, where DB Maroon will share her insights on writing and publishing beyond the academic world. This workshop is open to faculty and graduate students\, sponsored by THI\, the Abolition Medicine and Disability Justice MRPI\, and Anthropology. Graduate students and faculty can register for free via Eventbrite.
