Small Axe launched their keywords in Caribbean Studies project in July 2022 (issue #68). They began with Zwart, Negro/a/x*, Nègre, and Black. Few words in Caribbean discourse (popular or scholarly) have the multiplicity of meaning and fraught history as these. Join Small Axe for a virtual conversation with the contributors to the inaugural iteration of the Keywords project:

Gregory Pierrot
Gloria Wekker
Leniqueca A. Welcome
Omaris Z. Zamora

This event will be held on Thursday, March 2, 2023, 6:30 to 8:00pm EST. RSVP: https://tinyurl.com/sxkeyword
