Black History in Dark Times: Reflections of an Historian Featuring Peter James Hudson
2018-11-15 16:00 - 18:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Bunche 6275, Charles E Young Dr E, Los Angeles
“Black History in Dark Times: Reflections of an Historian”
Historian in Society Lecture Series
Peter James Hudson, UCLA Departments of African American Studies and History
First published in 1938 as the dark clouds of fascism amassed over Europe,
CLR James’ classic study The Black Jacobins: Toussaint L’Ouverture and the San
Domingo Revolution, described the efforts of enslaved Africans to found a Black
Republic – Haiti – at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Yet it was written
with another historical struggle on the horizon: the coming decolonization of
Africa. Given the multiple historical coordinates of book, The Black Jacobins –
and CLR James himself – offers us any number of lessons on the writing of
history and the historian in society. This talk will explore some of these lessons,
especially as they pertain to the writing of Black history during our current perilous times.
