How Europe (Mis)Understands Black America

Subtitle: 
JMEUCE Distinguished Lecture
Presenter: 
Gary Younge, Editor-at-Large, The Guardian
Event Status: 
As Scheduled
Date: 
Thu, 10/07/2021 - 11:30 to 13:00

Europe's views on Black America are informed by a range of contradictory tendencies: amnesia about its own colonial past, ambivalence about its racial present, a tradition of anti-racism and international solidarity and an often fraught geo-political relationship with the United States itself. Europe both resents and covets American power, and is in little position to do anything about it. So African Americans represent to many a redemptive force– living proof that that US is both not all that it claims to be and could be so much greater than it is.
