Global France Seminar: The Ambivalences of Return: Diasporic Utopias and Anti-Migrants. A talk by Pr. Yala Kisukidi, NYU

"Return" is a central notion for thinking about the diasporic condition (W. Safran). Yala Kisukidi will examine the ambivalences of this notion, drawing specifically on twentieth-century African and Black diasporic imaginaries and on contemporary European migration policies.
