Saidiya Hartman's keynote on the lives of young black women in the early twentieth century.
Over the course of the day, we hope to spark an interdisciplinary and transnational conversation about the methods and ethics of telling the stories of girls and young women of the African diaspora. Who is a black girl? What does “black” mean in a transnational context? How are the boundaries between black womanhood and black girlhood negotiated? What is at stake when black women identify themselves as black girls and vice versa? We have relationships with black girls in our lives and our work. How is that related to scholarly production?
