Between Mobility and Control: Contemporary Black Diasporas across the Americas
This public panel brings together scholars examining the complex and often perilous journeys of migrants from the Caribbean—particularly Haiti—and African nations, navigating within and beyond South America toward northern destinations, especially the U.S. These transnational mobilities are not new; they are deeply embedded in the historical processes that have shaped and continue to transform the Americas. By exposing the violence of anti-Black border regimes and the resilience of those who defy them, this discussion aims to challenge the dominant narratives of migration and reveal the enduring legacies of racialized exclusion that define our present.
Panelists:
Dr. Amanda Pinheiro, Georgetown University.
Dr. Thuany Freire, Universidade de São Paulo
Dr. Bruno Miranda, Universidad Autónoma Nacional de México
Dr. Manoushka Celeste, UIC
Discussant: Dr Lynette Jackson, UIC
Moderator: Dr Soledad Álvarez Velasco, UIC
Sponsors:
