The Institute for the Study of the Americas in conjunction with the Centre 
for Caribbean Thought, University of the West Indies, is pleased to invite 
you to the following conference (please see below for the provisional 
programme and details of how to register):


CONFERENCE: INTERNATIONALISING BLACK POWER
INSTITUTE FOR THE STUDY OF THE AMERICAS
25-26TH OCTOBER 2007

Convenors: Institute for the Study of the Americas / Centre for Caribbean 
Thought, University of the West Indies (Mona).

The organisers would like to thank the British Academy for their support of 
this conference, which is funded through the UK-Latin America and Caribbean 
Link Programme.

Until recently, scholarship on Black Power has been ‘elusive’ and 
fragmentary, with such studies as do exist focused primarily on the domestic 
North American context in which the banner of Black Power was first raised. 
Yet the story of Black Power – in its multiple manifestations – was played 
out on a global stage, stretching from Mississippi and Washington, London 
and Kingston, Havana and Algiers, to as far east as Hanoi and Beijing. The 
global dimensions of the Black Power era are just beginning to receive 
sustained attention, challenging the narrow and ‘peculiarly [North] American 
stories of domestic racial dissent’ (Peniel Joseph). Bringing together 
scholars from the Caribbean, North America and the UK, this conference seeks 
to contribute to an understanding of the international dimensions of Black 
Power, emphasising both the local specificities of Black Power movements 
(notably in the Caribbean) and the trans-national processes of intellectual 
and cultural exchange that were central to the development of radical black 
movements and ideologies in the late twentieth century.

The conference in London is the first of two conferences on 
Internationalising Black Power funded by the British Academy. The second 
conference in the series will be held in Kingston, Jamaica, 22nd-23rd 
February 2008.

Richard Drayton, Cambridge University
