Black Jacobins: Negritude in A Post Global 21st Century explores the idea of producing a major Caribbean symposium not as a regional entity (i.e. in the past Caribbean symposia have been based on island themes and regionality) but as a conceptual theme that links the past with the present. This symposium will focus on the legacies and contemporary impact of two major 20th century Figures: the Trinidadian writer and intellectual CLR James and his project The Black Jacobins; and the Martinique poet and intellectual Aime Cesaire.
