Join us for a talk by Oxy's own, Dr. Erica Ball, Professor of History and Chair of Black Studies, about a collection of essays about race, gender, violence, and power.
Location:
Academic Commons Lobby
Event Date: Feb. 12, 2020
Dr. Ball will discuss Reconsidering Roots: Race, Politics, and Memory, a collection of scholarly essays she edited. The book assesses the ways that the wildly popular book and its 1977 television adaptation recast representations of slavery and the black family, reflected on the promise of freedom and civil rights, and generated discussions about race, gender, violence, and power in the United States and abroad.
