SUMMARY;LANGUAGE=en-us:"Talk: \"Healing the Souls of Black Folks: Transformational Frameworks for the African Diaspora\" by Kim Butler"
DESCRIPTION:"\rPart of the CAS/MillerComm Lecture Series and the Department of African American Studies Annual W.E.B. DuBois Lecture Series\r\rIn the narrative of black empowerment in the Afro-Atlantic diaspora, the concept of healing is transformational. The questions of coping, which W.E.B. DuBois wrestled with in his 1903 work, [[The Souls of Black Folk]], are disturbingly familiar today. Examining African migration to Brazil and the Caribbean, Kim Butler explores the ways young people create a powerful language of healing through Carnival, Mandinga, and hoodoo bag, and how they grapple with white supremacy, dwindling educational opportunity, police violence, poor housing, and income disparities.\r\rThe CAS/MillerComm public events series brings to campus people who offer unique cross-disciplinary contributions to the intellectual and cultural life of the university.\r\rThis Center for Advanced Study event is hosted by the Center for African Studies and the Department of African American Studies in conjunction with the Center for Global Studies, Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, Center for Women and Gender in Global Perspectives, Department of History, Department of Sociology, European Union Center, Lemann Institute for Brazilian Studies, and the Spurlock Museum.\r\r"
