A SURVEY OF WRITINGS IN AFRICAN DIASPORIC STUDIES Jana Evans Braziel, University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Course Description: Diaspora, diasporic, and diaspora-ization (Stuart Hall) are contested terms, the meanings and multiple referents of which are currently being theorized and debated. Significant contributions to this on-going dialogue have been made by African Diasporic scholars such as Carole Boyce Davies, Carolle Charles, Paul Gilroy, Stuart Hall, and Kobena Mercer. These theorists—as well as scholars engaging in dialogues about ‘migrant subjects’ (as Keya Ganguly defines it) or ‘migratory subjectivities’ (as outlined by Carol Boyce Davies)—are all important voices in the on-going dialogue surrounding the field of African Diasporic Studies. Traditional definitions of diaspora stand in a hierarchically subordinate relation to nation or homeland. In most recent theorizations of diaspora, diasporic subjects are marked by hybridity and heterogeneity—cultural, linguistic, ethnic, national—and these subjects are defined by a traversal of the boundaries demarcating nation and diaspora. For Stuart Hall, the diaspora experience “is defined, not by essence or purity, but by the recognition of a necessary heterogeneity and diversity; by a conception of ‘identity’ which lives in and through, not despite, difference; by hybridity” (235). For Paul Gilroy, “the politics of transfiguration” that diaspora necessitates “strives in pursuit of the sublime, struggling to repeat the unrepeatable; to present the unrepresentable” (975). These identitary theorizations also create new configurations of nation and diaspora—for Gilroy, the diaspora (of the Black Atlantic) constructs an imagined center or home (Africa).

10. Raceandhistory.com - African Spirituality african diasporic traditions in Trinidad, focusing on Shango Baptists and Spiritual Baptists. http://www.raceandhistory.com/historicalviews/africanspirit.htm

By KIM JOHNSON Born Again In Living Waters T heirs are the vibrations shared by most Trinidadians, everyone who can move to the music of David Rudder or Superblue. And although they are not represented in the population censuses, the Spiritual Baptists or Shouters are estimated to number anywhere between 100 to 300 thousand. "Listen to the early steelband with the grumbler and listen to a Baptist doption," says musicologist Mervyn Williams, who has written a dissertation on the church's music, "and you wonder who influence who. It's the same Trinidad folk element cutting through steelband and religion." And it's not only Trinidad and Brazil, as David Rudder sings, argues Archbishop Raymond Oba Douglas of the Mount Prisgah Spiritual Baptist Archdiocese International Ltd. "In Guyana they're called 'Jordanites' because immersion started at the Jordan; in St Vincent it's the Shakers; in Jamaica the Revivalists." But, explains Archbishop Douglas, apart from a few differences they have all the same general traits: "entertainment" of the Holy Spirit, "shaking" and talking in tongues. It is the Christianity of Africans in the New World. For instance, baptism in "living waters" is a reinterpretation of an African worship of water spirits, as is the elaborate water dance of the Trinidadian dragon masquerade. Most Shouter rituals and invocations involve the sprinkling of water. "When I go to the sea I see my mother and when I ring my bell I see her rise from the sea," says Mother Superior Elaine Griffith, interim Archbishop of the National Evangelical Spiritual Baptist (NESB) faith, a woman of both great proportions and spiritual presence.

SESSION: “NARRATIONS OF ‘EXILE’ IN RECENT AFRICAN DIASPORIC LITERARY IMAGINATION” Paper 1 Christopher N. Okonkwo University of Missouri-Columbia OkonkwoC@missouri.edu “ ‘Coming to America’: Ike Oguine’s A Squatter’s Tale and the Nigerian Expatriate’s Odyssey” My paper explores Ike Oguine’s A Squatter’s Tale (Heinemann 2000) as an immigrant faction For the Nigerian immigrant, specifically, coming to America means both navigating geographical, economic, cultural, political, and emotional spaces and forging a shifting identity. Those efforts are, however, complicated by the exigencies of exile and adjustment to a new land, “immense, indifferent, frightening . . . varied, challenging and . . . still full of opportunities” ( Squatter’s Reflecting on his odyssey, Obi, the novel’s expatriate-protagonist, narrator and implied author, addresses that paradox: “although I would always be in a sense apart from it, always be more Nigerian than American, I also had to strive for a place inside it; I had to find a way to be both apart from and a part of this vast country” (196). A Squatter’s Tale sub-texts the experiences of many Nigerian, particularly Igbo, immigrants in the United States.

18. A Survey Of African And Caribbean Anglophone Literatures Although the course will emphasize anglophone texts, we will also examine francophoneand hispanophone texts—with african diasporic, Amerindien, and créole http://www.uwlax.edu/faculty/braziel/afr-carib_survey.html

A Survey of African and Caribbean Anglophone Literatures Jana Evans Braziel, University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Course Description The early modern tension between European colonialists, enslaved Africans and indigenous or native peoples in the ‘New World’ will establish one of the historical frames for examining modern (or postmodern) human experience through migration, global economic movements (such as colonialism, imperialism, and global capitalism), and political movements (such as postcolonialism) in the twentieth century. Covering the historical background of colonialism, slave trade, and imperialism in Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean, we will also attempt to define (or redefine) Africanness, Caribbeanness, Americanness, and modernity, examining how these geopolitical categories have been constructed in relation to culturally biased notions of good and evil, lived human experiences, and ontological, essentialist definitions of race. Throughout the course, we will address the strategies by which various postcolonial writers negotiate cultural and national spaces, and how they write about the lived translations of culture, identity and language within various geographical locations—African countries (such as Nigeria, Senegal, Kenya, Sudan, Somalia, Zimbabwe and South African), the Caribbean isles (Barbados, Trinidad, Jamaica, Haiti, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Antigua, Cuba, Puerto Rico and the coastal region of Colombia), the United States, Britain, and Canada. Other issues that are explored include familial relationships, generational conflicts, and theorizations of political identity around race, gender and sexuality. Ultimately, we will explore how communities understand goodness, confront evil, and address historical tragedy through the processes of memory, revision and imagination.
