Lecture | Field station Bahia and the transnational anthropology and sociology of race

Leiden University, Pieter de La Court, room 1.A20 Leiden

The talk deals with an important moment, in many ways one of the founding moments, of African Studies: the debate on the notion of Africanism, which occurred in Bahia in the years 1940-42 and its consequences for the making of African-American and Afro-Brazilian studies in the US and Brazil.
