SUMMARY:Atlantic Colloquium Presents: Cudjoe's (Dis)Ability and Maroon (De)Formation
DESCRIPTION:Alex Moulton\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Geography & Environmental Science\, Hunter College CUNY \nPresentation: “Cudjoe’s (Dis)Ability and Maroon (De)Formation” \nIn this talk\, Prof. Moulton presents a draft chapter that is part of his book project The Black Grounds: Marronage\, Black Placemaking\, and the Exercise of Freedom. The chapter focuses on Captain Cudjoe considering what else we might be able to apprehend about marronage\, the social life of fugitivity\, and the relations of disability in early colonial Jamaica. Captain Cudjoe of the Leeward Maroons is perhaps the most frequently invoked figure in discourses about marronage that following the hero-traitor narrational trajectories. The dichotomized reading of marronage gives us an iconography of Cudjoe as either an exemplifying Black liberatory impulse and placemaking vision\, or Black sycophantism and selfishness. The hero-traitor framework demands that we choose which Cudjoe is authentic\, a false dilemma fallacy based on a reductive narrative of Black sociality. Against the dilemma\, I read Cudjoe as evincing the contingent nature of social coalitions. Rather than one or the other kind of Black leader figure\, Cudjoe is a migrator figure. His shifts through character roles on relation to Black community and freedom show the varying relationship between resistance\, integration\, and recognition to racial formation and racial projects. I read a depiction of Cudjoe as having a sever spinal curvature as a metaphor for the disabling and deforming outcomes of efforts at Black placemaking and freedom in an antiblack world. I consider how the fact of Cudjoe’s ascent to the leadership of his community invites celebration of Black communal practices of care that refuse hierarchies of worthiness.\n\n\nSession recording: https://youtu.be/mQrG74PXwN8

SUMMARY:The State of Lebanon: Popular Politics and Institution Building in the Wake of Independence
DESCRIPTION:A book talk by History alumni Ziad Abu-Rish. Organized by the UCLA Center for Near Eastern Studies and co-sponsored by the UCLA Department of History. \nPlease see the following link for more details and event registration: https://www.international.ucla.edu/cnes/event/17744 \nAbout the Book \nLebanon gained its formal political independence in 1943. During the dozen years that followed\, women and men across class\, sectarian\, geographic\, and ideological divides built\, challenged\, and reformed the institutional arrangements that would shape the country. With this book\, Ziad Abu-Rish traces shifting patterns of alliances and conflict that shaped the material and representational production of the Lebanese nation-state. Exploring labor regimes\, women’s suffrage\, the provision of electricity in Beirut\, public education\, and the armed forces—and the meetings\, lectures\, pamphlets\, delegations\, and protests they produced—Abu-Rish demonstrates how elite and popular groups mobilized normative ideas about independence and state power. \nThe State of Lebanon offers a new social and institutional history of post-colonial Lebanon. Abu-Rish challenges common narratives of an absent\, weak\, or failed state. Instead\, state institutional arrangements emerge as objects and subjects of political mobilization by politicians\, bureaucrats\, party activists\, students\, and workers. Rather than read history backward from the present\, he approaches the past on its own terms. In so doing\, Abu-Rish offers significant insights into politics\, social life\, and the state in Lebanon—grounded in the early post-independence period yet critical to how we understand Lebanon today. \nAbout the Speaker \n Ziad Abu-Rish is a scholar of the modern Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. His research centers around state formation\, economic development\, and popular mobilizations\, particularly in Lebanon and Jordan. His teaching experience includes undergraduate and graduate courses in human rights; comparative state formation; various themes in Middle East studies; and research methodologies. Abu-Rish is the author of The State of Lebanon: Popular Politics and Institution Building in the Wake of Independence (Stanford University Press\, 2026). He co-created (with artist Tania El Khoury) The Search for Power\, a touring lecture performance and sound installation exploring the history of electricity in Beirut. Abu-Rish is also coeditor of The Dawn of the Arab Uprisings: End of an Old Order? (2012) and Critical Voices: A Collection of Interviews from and on the Middle East (2015). Abu-Rish has also authored several articles appearing in Middle East Report and Review of Middle East Studies and chapters in edited volumes on the political economy of the Middle East\, the Arab uprisings\, and teaching Middle East history. Abu-Rish also serves as coeditor of Arab Studies Journal and Jadaliyya e-zine\, and codirector of the Lebanese Dissertation Summer Institute.
