Monday, May 22, 2023 - 1:00pm to 3:00pm
Humanities 1 Room 210 at UCSC
Presented by: 
History of Art and Visual Culture

Celebrate the launch of Associate Professor of Sociology Camilla Hawthorne's new book, Contesting Race and Citizenship: Youth Politics in the Black Mediterranean (Cornell University Press, 2022)! Contesting Race and Citizenship explores the politics of Blackness and citizenship in Italy. It examines the ways in which the Italian-born children of African immigrants have mobilized for a reform of Italian citizenship law in the context of the Eurozone economic crisis and the southern European refugee emergency. The book represents one of the first ever in-depth studies of Black Italian political mobilizations in Italy. Associate Professors Debbie Gould (sociology) and Savannah Shange (anthropology) will serve as discussants.

Co-Sponsored by the departments of Critical Race and Ethnic Studies, Sociology, the History of Art of Visual Cultures’ Visual Media Cultures Colloquium series, and the Science & Justice Research Center.
