SUMMARY:John Majewski\, Living Democracy in Capitalism's Shadow: Creative Labor\, Black Abolitionists\, and the Struggle to End Slavery
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW \n\nFree to attend; registration required to receive Zoom webinar attendance link \nIn the two decades before the Civil War\, a new type of capitalism developed in the northern United States that stressed mass education\, widespread innovation\, and new markets for art and design. For Black abolitionists\, the changing northern economy presented new opportunities to highlight the evils of slavery. While continuing to attack slavery’s physical cruelty\, Black abolitionists in the 1840s and 1850s increasingly highlighted the “mental darkness” of slavery\, focusing on the systematic denial of literacy\, learning\, and creativity. Through their own creative labor\, Black abolitionists made a compelling case for racial equality. The fate of Black creative labor after the Civil War\, though\, demonstrated the limits of using creativity as a way of obtaining citizenship\, and raises important questions about how we in the 21st century “live democracy” in a society that valorizes creativity amidst growing inequality and systemic racism. Audience Q&A will follow. \nJohn Majewski is the Michael Douglas Dean of Humanities and Fine Arts and Professor in the Department of History. His areas of specialization include American economic\, social\, and legal history; Southern history; and the U.S. Civil War. He is the author of A House Dividing: Economic Development in Pennsylvania and Virginia Before the Civil War (Cambridge University Press\, 2000)\, Modernizing a Slave Economy: The Economic Imagination of the Confederate Nation (UNC Press\, 2009)\, and numerous articles\, reviews\, and book chapters. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Living Democracy series \nREGISTER NOW. ASL and Spanish interpretation will be available. To view ASL interpretation\, please attend the webinar on a desktop computer.

SUMMARY:FOCAL POINT Dialogues in History Keynote Lecture with Prof. Herman Bennett: "Body\, Soul & Subject: A History of Difference in the Early-Modern African Atlantic"
DESCRIPTION:The History Department’s Colloquium Committee warmly invites you to attend the keynote lecture of our FOCAL POINT Dialogues in History series. The lecture\, “Body\, Soul & Subject: A History of Difference in the Early-Modern African Atlantic\,” will be delivered by Prof. Herman L. Bennett. \nHerman L. Bennett is Professor at the Graduate Center at the City University of New York. A scholar of Latin American history and the African Diaspora\, Prof. Bennett’s previous books include Africans in Colonial Mexico: Absolutism\, Christianity\, and Afro-Creole Consciousness (2003)\, Colonial Blackness: A History of Afro-Mexico (2009)\, and the forthcoming The African Diaspora: A Very Short Introduction. His notable essays include “The Subject in the Plot: National Boundaries and the ‘History’ of the Black Atlantic\,” in African Studies Review (2000) and “Writing into a Void: Slavery\, History\, and Representing Blackness in Latin America” in Social Text (2007). He has been the recipient of fellowships from the National Endowment for Humanities\, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation\, the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton University\, and the American Council of Learned Societies. The American Historical Association recognized his mentorship of racially and ethnically underrepresented students in the historical discipline through the AHA Equity Award in 2012. Prof. Bennett has served on the editorial boards of the Hispanic American Historical Review\, Social Text\, The Americas\, the Blacks in the Diaspora series at Indiana University Press\, and the American Historical Review. \nProf. Bennett’s most recent book\, African Kings and Black Slaves: Sovereignty and Dispossession in the Early Modern Atlantic (2018) invites our attention to politics of sovereignty\, enslavement\, and power in the earliest Iberian and African interactions as a point of inquiry to critically rethink the ways in which liberalism has subsequently shaped analyses of culture\, economy\, and history. \nThe inaugural FOCAL POINT Dialogues in History series is inspired by the UCSB History Department’s Statement on the George Floyd Uprising and its invocation to understand and interrogate our racialized past and the investments of disciplinary history within it. Following three webinars led by History Department faculty and graduate students on topics like sovereignty\, the political\, liberation\, racial capitalism\, liberalism\, and empire\, from their own scholarly angles of vision\, the keynote lecture brings the series to a close and invites more conversations to be continued in the future. \nThe keynote lecture will use the Zoom webinar format. Prior registration is required. \nDate: Friday 21 May\, 2021 \nTime: 1:00 PM Pacific Time (US and Canada) \nKeynote Lecture: “Body\, Soul & Subject: A History of Difference in the Early-Modern African Atlantic” \nZoom registration: Please register in advance for this webinar using the link below: \nhttps://ucsb.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_RbHCtjyoS8S-l6vbTiFEzw

SUMMARY:International Webinar on Global Capitalism\, Colonial Politics and Publicity: The Past and Present of Tea in South Asia
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an interdisciplinary webinar on the past and present of tea in South Asia. The history of tea is both fascinating yet one fraught with tensions inherent in the history of global capitalism. The attraction of a cup of tea seeped only gradually into the lives of the common people and involved much effort and investment on the part of various Tea Associations\, companies and committees. Colonial politics\, we contend\, was always at the center of the South Asian tea industry\, its propaganda\, publicity\, and labor struggles. This webinar brings together scholars from a variety of disciplines and contemporary activists in order to address how tea was and is commodified and how South Asians were constructed as consumers and workers.  \nRegistration Link: https://forms.gle/wqVHkFdk1xzqmKDn7\nYouTube Channel Link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTx895TOvpL_DxjEmPKAc5Q
