Stuart Hall, “Cultural Identity and Diaspora.”

Reflect and analyze each of the following media: Stuart Hall, “Cultural Identity and Diaspora.” Identity: Community, Culture, Difference. Roy Simon Bryce-Laporte, “Black Immigrants: The Experience of Invisibility and Inequality.” Oswald Warner, “Black in America Too: Afro-Caribbean Immigrants.” Jacqueline Nassy Brown, “Black Liverpool, Black America, and the Gendering of Diasporic Space” Karsten H. Piep, “Home to Harlem, Away from Harlem” Monday B. Abastiattai, “The Search for Independence: New World Blacks in Sierra Leone and Liberia, 1787 – 1847” Obiagele Lake, “Toward a Pan-African Identity: Diaspora African Repatriates in Ghana” Nancy Foner, “West Indian Identity in the Diaspora: Comparative and Historical Perspectives” *FILM: will provide later Some more questions that can help in the reflection but don’t necessarily need to be incorporated: What is the central argument/claim? Is there sufficient evidence to support the claim(s)? What additional questions does the reading raise? What are the key terms and how are they defined? What connections can you draw between each of the weekly readings and across readings from the weeks prior? What questions do the readings raise for you? How does the reading produce new knowledge about blackness, migration and movement?
