Event Details
Join UCSD professor Daphne Taylor-Garcia for a discussion of her new book The Existence of the Mixed Race Damnés about mixed race Latinx peoples in the Americas and their experiences of race and colonialism.
Registration encouraged. Please scroll down.
Dr. Taylor-Garcia explores the construction of race, gender, and class in coming to an oppositional consciousness as a Spanish colonial subject in the Americas. Spanning the early foundations of knowledge production about colonial/racial subjects and connecting to contemporary debates about race and Latinx peoples, the book explores issues of class, race, and gender power relations by connecting an analysis of the lived experience with social structures.
Professor Garcia teaches in the Ethnic Studies Department at UCSD. Her research interests include comparative colonialisms in the Americas; the coloniality of gender, sexuality, and being; visual economies of the Casta System and plantation slavery; lumpen phenomenology; cultural studies; decolonial theory and politics. Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing by the author.
