>This round table will attempt to look beyond traditional Pan-Africanist and
>African Diaspora models for rethinking the question of black identity in the
>Americas. This hemispheric approach to the question of black identity will
>take a transnational perspective on what it means to be black in a
>hemispheric context. Participants will present their ideas or creative work
>in an attempt to capture the multiple meanings of black identity in the
>context of cultural and political movements in the Caribbean, the U.S. and
>South America.
