Book Talk: Cross-Border Cosmopolitans: The Making of a Pan-African North America

Tues., Oct. 17 | 12:30 pm | 223 Philosophy Hall | RSVP

20th-century Black history cannot be understood without accounting for the influence of Pan-African thought. In the early 1900s, Marcus Garvey’s followers saw North America, particularly Canada, as a base from which to liberate the Black masses from colonialism. Then, after World War II, Vietnam War resisters, Black Panthers, and Caribbean students joined the throngs of cross-border migrants to denounce militarism, imperialism, and capitalism. As revolutionaries from Oakland to Toronto dreamed of an “African world”, the prospect of coalitions among the Black Power, Red Power, and Quebecois Power movements inspired U.S. and Canadian intelligence services to infiltrate and sabotage Black organizations across North America.

In his new book Cross-Border Cosmopolitans: The Making of a Pan-African North America (University of North Carolina Press, 2023), Dr. Wendell Adjetey explores how twentieth-century global Black liberation movements began within the U.S.-Canadian borderlands as cross-border, continental struggles. This work reveals the revolutionary legacies of the Underground Railroad and America’s Great Migration, and the hemispheric and transatlantic dimensions of this history.

Dr. Wendell Nii Laryea Adjetey is assistant professor of post-Reconstruction U.S. and African Diaspora history at McGill University, where he holds the William Dawson Chair. A first-generation high school graduate, he earned an PhD, MPhil, and MA from Yale University in history and African American studies. He completed his BA in history and political science at the University of Toronto (University of St. Michael’s College), where he also earned an MA in political science and ethnic, immigration, and pluralism studies.

This event is cosponsored by the Center for African Studies, the Center for Race and Gender, and the Department of African American Studies & African Diaspora Studies.
Graduate Student Discussion with Dr. Wendell Adjetey

UC Berkeley graduate students with a research interest in Dr. Adjetey’s work are welcome to attend a small group discussion with the speaker on Monday, October 16. For more information, please email canada@berkeley.edu.

Workshop: North American Cities in Changing Times: Rethinking the Urban Core for the City of the Future

Fri., Oct. 27 | 1:30-5:00 pm | Women’s Faculty Club Reception to follow | RSVP

The rise of remote work has upended traditional thinking about the role of the urban core and what society might need and want from urban spaces. Some cities have weathered these changes better than others by attracting new residents and investment from firms and other institutions. At the same time, cities across North America are grappling with widening inequality, soaring living costs, and uneven recovery. What might be causing these differences? How can cities take these opportunities to remake the urban core in a more just and equitable way so all residents can thrive – and what can cities learn from each other?

This workshop will bring together scholars and policy leaders from across the United States and Canada for a discussion about the future of the urban core in select North American cities. Using a comparative lens, two panels will examine how the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent economic recovery have shifted narratives around development in urban centers. We will speculate on future development possibilities, and propose possible solutions to current and potential challenges to urban revival.

Participants will include Dr. Karen Chapple (UC Berkeley/University of Toronto); Jennifer Barrett (Canadian Urban Institute); Molly Harris (London Borough and Lambeth and former Canadian Studies Hildebrand Fellow); Dr. Tom Kemeny (University of Toronto; Sujata Srivastava (SPUR, San Francisco); Egon Terplan (UC Berkeley); Andy Yan (Simon Fraser University); Dr. Gordon Douglas (San José State University); and Eric Eidlin (City of San José).

Space is limited, so please RSVP if you plan to attend in person. All attendees are welcome to attend a public reception following the workshop at 5:00 pm.

ACB-FGC: A Culturally Responsive Program to Support Black Families Involved With the Ontario Child Welfare System

Tues., Sept. 26 | 12:30 pm | 223 Philosophy Hall | RSVP

The disparate treatment of African American families in the American child welfare system is well documented, but researchers are only just beginning to examine the experiences of African, Caribbean, and Black (ACB) Canadian families in Canada. In the province of Ontario, recent studies find that Black families are represented in the child welfare system at disproportionate rates. Experiences of Black youth, caregivers, and workers also highlight differential and punitive treatment within the system. These findings have given rise to the development of the African, Caribbean, Black Family Group Conferencing Project (ACB-FGC), a restorative, culturally responsive innovation to support Black families at risk of, or already engaged in, the child welfare system in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). In this presentation, Dr. Lance T. McCready, co-director of ACB-FGC, describes the community-based research that led to the development of the program and implications of ACB-FGC for provincial policies to address anti-Black racism in the child welfare system and among partner institutions.

Dr. Lance McCready is the lead researcher for the Making Spaces Lab, and an associate professor at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto. He holds a B.A. in psychology and an M.A. and Ph.D. in education, all from UC Berkeley. He is the recipient of the 2017 Ludwik and Estelle Jus Memorial Human Rights Prize from the University of Toronto, and the 2018 Distinguished Research Scholar Award from the Ontario Education Research Symposium. Dr. McCready held a Sproul Fellowship with Canadian Studies at Berkeley in Spring 2023, where he worked on several projects related to the health and welfare of Black families, youth, and GBT/MSM individuals in Canada.

This event is cosponsored by the Berkeley School of Education, the Center for Race and Gender, and the Department of African American Studies & African Diaspora Studies.

NEWS FROM BERKELEY

The Forgotten History of the Royal Canadian Legion’s Berkeley Branch

Most Canadians are familiar with the Royal Canadian Legion, the veterans’ organization best-known for organizing the country’s annual Remembrance Day Poppy campaign. But did you know that the organization once had 16 branches across Northern California? While US Branch 25 (San Francisco) now represents the entire Bay Area, for about 20 years Berkeley had its own local chapter, Post 113. To commemorate the first-ever National Legion Week this week, friends of Branch 25 did a little digging into the history of its long-vanished counterpart across the Bay.

The Berkeley branch of the Canadian Legion of the British Empire Service League (as it was then known) received its charter in 1939. The organization met monthly in the Veteran’s Building in Downtown Berkeley. While never a particularly large or well-funded branch, it hosted social events, dinners, and even maintained a small bagpipe band. (One band member recalled that they “neither played or drilled well but no one seemed to care about that much at the time”.) As membership dwindled in the 1950s and 60s, the branch eventually gave up its charter and merged with Branch #15 (Oakland), which ultimately likewise merged into Branch #25 (San Francisco).

Today, Branch #25 carries on the legacy of the other Bay Area branches, including maintaining a collection of memorabilia from the former Berkeley branch. Read the full blog post on the Branch #25 website to see photos of artefacts, newspaper clippings, and more. And be sure to check out their other National Legion Week posts for more history of the local branches and profiles of notable members!
