Selma James speaking at this conference in Liverpool on “Black Jacobins: history as a political weapon” 27-28 October International conference: The Black Jacobins Revisited: Rewriting History International Slavery Museum and the Bluecoat Arts Centre, Liverpool. To mark seventy-five years of pioneering Anticolonial and historiography-shifting work, C.L.R. James’s The Black Jacobins, we are organising a major international two-day conference at the International Slavery Museum and Bluecoat Arts Centre, Liverpool. Ever since The Black Jacobins transformed the way colonial history was written, this single work has for seventy-five years dominated all studies of the Haitian Revolution and decolonization. Yet, uncharted areas of this standard reference work still remain. Key aims of the conference are to break new ground and explore new approaches where this classic history is concerned. Papers will be considered on any aspect relating to The Black Jacobins and its legacies... Global Womens Strike via London Gws
