Does acknowledging a Carib presence alter mainstream theories of the historical and cultural development of Caribbean societies? How have Trinidadian self-perceptions and self-representations been altered by acknowledging the Carib presence? If there is Carib resurgence, why does it matter?

Davarian L. Baldwin
"Chicago could be the Vienna of American Fascism": How Urban Studies Speaks to the Transnational Turn
Co-Sponsored by the Racial and Ethnic Identities in Transnational Histories (REIT) graduate discussion group, Department of History, University of Toronto.
This talk offers a critical geography of the Black internationalist politics and knowledge production of World War II-era Chicago to bring caution against a scholarly transnational discourse that may be going too far. In the focus on routes and flows, we may be losing sense of how the dimensions of situated nodal points augment the contours of global circuits. Here, an archival mapping of the "local/global continuum" is essential for thinking through our times, by demonstrating how and why urban studies must speak to the transnational turn.
Davarian L. Baldwin is the Paul E. Raether Distinguished Professor of American Studies at Trinity College, Hartford. He is a historian, cultural critic, and social theorist of urban America. Baldwin’s work largely examines the landscape of global cities through the lens of the Afro-Diasporic experience. Baldwin’s related interests include intellectual and mass culture, Black radical thought and transnational social movements, competing conceptions of modernity, the racial economy of heritage tourism, and universities and urban development. His teaching also brings together historical studies, cultural analysis, and social/political theory with special interest in exploring Western modernity(s) within a global frame. Baldwin is the author of Chicago's New Negroes: Modernity, The Great Migration, and Black Urban Life (UNC, 2007). He is currently at work on two new projects, Land of Darkness: Race and the Making of Modern America, and UniverCities: How Knowledge Institutions are Transforming the Urban Landscape. Prior to joining Trinity College, Baldwin was Associate Professor of History and African Diaspora Studies at Boston College.

Dalia Kandiyoti
Latinidad and Sefarad: Connecting the Americas in Recent Latina Novels
Organized by the Latin American Studies Program, University of Toronto.
Dalia Kandiyoti teaches in the English Department of the City University of New York, College of Staten Island. Her book, Migrant Sites: America, Place, and Diaspora Literatures, was published in the fall, 2009. Kandiyoti's presentation bridges U.S. Latina/o Studies, Jewish Studies, and Latin American Studies through the prism of Sephardism. Kandiyoti examines recent narratives by U.S. Latina authors who have claimed crypto-Jewish/converso identities and have written novels and poetry about the imagined experiences of secret Jewish identities in Cuba, Mexico, and New Mexico. Her paper reflects on this unprecedented interest by progressive and innovative writers primarily identified as Latinas based in the U.S. in engaging Sephardic identity and experience. Kandiyoti considers the implications of these authors' creative assemblage of the Latina and Jewish worlds in the Americas in terms of "overlapping diasporas," secrecy and knowledge, and alternative mestizajes.

Daniel E. Bender
American Abyss: Savagery and Civilization in the Age of Industry
(Cornell University Press, 2009), 344 pages, cloth
At the beginning of the twentieth century, industrialization both dramatically altered everyday experiences and shaped debates about the effects of immigration, empire, and urbanization. In American Abyss, Daniel E. Bender examines an array of sources—eugenics theories, scientific studies of climate, socialist theory, and even popular novels about cavemen—to show how intellectuals and activists came to understand industrialization in racial and gendered terms as the product of evolution and as the highest expression of civilization. Their discussions, he notes, are echoed today by the use of such terms as the “developed” and “developing” worlds.
Daniel E. Bender is the Canada Research Chair in Cultural History and Analysis, and Associate Professor of History and Comparative Literature at the University of Toronto Scarborough. He is also the author of Sweated Work, Weak Bodies: Anti-Sweatshop Campaigns and Languages of Labor (2004), and editor of Sweatshop USA: The American Sweatshop in Historical and Global Perspective (2003).

Shyon Baumann and Josée Johnston
Foodies: Democracy and Distinction in the Gourmet Foodscape
Routledge, December 2009, 280 pages, paperback
This important new and highly readable cultural analysis tells two stories about food. The first depicts good food as democratic. Foodies frequent ‘hole in the wall’ ethnic eateries, appreciate the pie found in working-class truck-stops, and reject the snobbery of fancy French restaurants with formal table-service. The second story describes how food operates as a source of status and distinction for economic and cultural elites, indirectly maintaining and reproducing social inequality. While the first storyline insists that anybody can be a foodie, the second story asks foodies to look in the mirror and think about their relative social and economic privilege. By simultaneously considering both of these stories, and studying how they operate in tension, a delicious sociology of food becomes available, perfect for teaching a broad range of cultural sociology courses.
Shyon Baumann is Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Toronto. He studies the sociology of culture, the arts, and the media. He is the author of Hollywood Highbrow: From Entertainment to Art, and is currently studying the production and content of television advertising.
Josée Johnston is Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Toronto. Her major area of research is the sociology of food. Her work ties together several research threads including globalization, political-ecology, culture and consumerism.
