“Transplanting the Talented Tenth: Black Classicisms and H.K. Banda’s Kamuzu Academy”
(Please write to ei2235@columbia.edu and bls2187@columbia for the zoom link)
Professor Greenwood has kindly shared the following explanatory paragraph:
The talk addresses the third chapter of my current book project, entitled Black Classicisms and the Expansion of the Classical Tradition. [The paper that I gave at Columbia back in March, “Diversifying Classical Philology I: Metaphorical Shortcuts in Aristotle Politics 1.4” was based on material from the first chapter of the book.] The talk that I will give on the 25th will be an excerpted version of this paper and I will talk about how it relates to the wider book project of which it is a part. and to current debates about black classicisms and the cultural identity of Classics.
