Another Country. Everyday Social Restitution. BestRed, 2016.
Conference: 'Restitution: A renewed conversation'In this seminar, Sharlene Swartz and respondent Sarah Pickard, will reflect on the notion of restitution and its salience for current debates on decolonisation, xenophobia, reparations for enslavement, and immigration policy and attitudes in South Africa as well as the UK, US and elsewhere in the Global North.Sharlene Swartz, in her recent book
Another Country. Everyday Social Restitution (BestRed 2016) has called for a renewed conversation in South Africa about restitution in both its legal and social forms. In the book she relates Black South Africans’ experiences of dehumanising racism alongside White South African’s shame for the past and anxiety for the future. In this context, she introduces the concept of ‘social restitution’ - understood as the actions and attitudes that everyday people can undertake in dialogue with each other to address past injustice, and offers four new ideas about restitution based on reflection with ordinary South Africans. These include how injustice damages all our humanity; how current descriptors of role players in injustice no longer serves transgenerational experiences; the role of dialogue and practical action in restitution; and that there is something for everyone to do – individuals and communities, alongside government and institutional efforts, when it comes to restitution.
Sharlene Swartz is a Research Director at the Human Sciences Research Council in South Africa and an Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Cape Town. She completed her undergraduate studies in South Africa, and her graduate studies at Harvard and Cambridge. Her expertise centres on youth in adverse contexts, the effects of race on educational outcomes, and emancipatory qualitative research methods. Before embarking on an academic career Sharlene was a youth worker. She is the current chair of the Restitution Foundation in South Africa. Her other books include: Ikasi: The moral ecology of South Africa’s township youth (2009); Teenage Tata: Voices of young fathers in South Africa (2009); and Youth Citizenship and the Politics of Belonging (2013).

Séminaire CRAN/ CREW et Projet "Ecriture l'histoire depuis les marges: le cas des historiens africains-amérricains
Christian Crouch (Bard College): "The Black City: African Americans in the Old Northwest Borderlands"Detroit, the Upper Country, and the Old Northwest are often thought of as the endpoint to the richly textured, centuries-old Franco-Indian world, then as a key site of Indian nations' resistance to British expansion, and later, as the precursor to competing national sovereignties between the USA and British Canada. Exploring the black experience in northern and western frontier regions from the 1750s through the 1780s adds to our understanding of this cosmopolitan place. Detroit and its vicinity's stature relied on complex networks forged among the majority Native residents, smaller numbers of European colonists, and scattered imperial authorities. The unique character of the /pays d'en haut/ (the British Upper Country) rested on heterogenous and inter-ethnic networks; Detroit's cosmopolitan residents often challenged the imperial projects that had sent them to this region in the first place.These characteristics significantly shaped the experiences of Africans in this place and time. As Indian communities and actors struggled to reassert their preeminence on the landscape and in the historical record, especially during "Pontiac's War," they opened up a new world of possibilities for enslaved and free Africans in their wake. Black individuals could widen their opportunities and, in the extreme, perhaps their status as well. The critical element for individuals of African descent in this region may well have been that they were not immediately seen by any other group as willing agents of anyone´s empire. Context drove their opportunities and did not predetermine their consequences.

About Martín Espada
Martín Espada was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1957. He has been called “the Pablo Neruda of North American poets” by Sandra Cisneros. Espada is the author of almost twenty books as a poet, editor, essayist and translator. His latest collection of poetry from Norton is called Vivas to Those Who Have Failed (2016). Other books of poems include The Trouble Ball (2011), The Republic of Poetry (2006), Alabanza (2003), A Mayan Astronomer in Hell’s Kitchen (2000), Imagine the Angels of Bread (1996), City of Coughing and Dead Radiators (1993) and Rebellion is the Circle of a Lover’s Hands (1990). His many honors include the Shelley Memorial Award, the Robert Creeley Award, the National Hispanic Cultural Center Literary Award, an American Book Award, the PEN/Revson Fellowship and a Guggenheim Fellowship. The Republic of Poetry was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. The title poem of his collection Alabanza, about 9/11, has been widely anthologized and performed. His book of essays, Zapata’s Disciple (1998), was banned in Tucson as part of the Mexican-American Studies Program outlawed by the state of Arizona, and will be reissued in a new edition this fall. A former tenant lawyer in Greater Boston’s Latino community, Espada is a professor of English at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst.
About Vivas to Those Who Have Failed. Poems (W.W. Norton, 2016)
In this collection of new poems, Espada gives voice to the spirit of endurance in the face of loss, articulating the transcendent vision of another, possible world. The heart of the collection lies in a series of ten poems about the death of the poet’s father, one of Whitman’s “numberless unknown heroes.” “El Moriviví” uses the metaphor of a plant that grows in Puerto Rico and the meaning of its name—“I died/I lived”—to celebrate the many lives of Frank Espada, community organizer, civil rights activist and documentary photographer, from a jailhouse in Mississippi to the streets of Brooklyn. In mourning, the son lyrically imagines his father’s return to a bay in Puerto Rico: “May the water glow blue as a hyacinth in your hands.”
Other poems confront collective grief, and Espada does not shy away from discussing recent tragedy. He meditates on some of our country’s darkest periods, including moments of shocking violence such as the shootings of Michael Brown and Walter Scott, among others, by police, and the execution of American journalist Jim Foley—a former student of the poet—by ISIS. In the wake of the killings at the Sandy Hook Elementary School, “Heal the Cracks in the Bell of the World” urges us to “melt the bullets into bells.” Yet, the collection is not without humor; the poet also revels in the absurd, recalling his dubious “career” as a Shakespearean actor in a brawling company, finding madness and tenderness in the crowd at Fenway Park. Espada defiantly subverts the definition of “those who have failed.”
