Young Drive North \nLos Angeles\, CA 90095 \nUsing Peter James Hudson’s recently published monograph Bankers and Empire: How Wall Street Colonized the Caribbean (Chicago\, 2017) as a touchstone\, this roundtable discussion will focus on a number of urgent questions concerning the current intellectual and political project of Black Studies: How do we understand the relationship of finance capital to racial capitalism? What role does research on the history and political economy of imperialism and the institutions of globalization have within Black Studies? Do questions of Caribbean sovereignty – and\, more broadly\, of internationalism – still have a place within the discipline? And how can Black Studies scholarship and scholars be mobilized in the service of anti-capitalist and anti-imperial critique? Participants will offer brief statements before the workshop is opened up to general conversation. \n  \nCosponsored by the Department of History and the James S.
