Hey world, I co-edited this recently launched journal on Disability, Mental Health, and Disablement for the Caribbean Review of Gender Studies. Hoping it contributes to ongoing discussions on these topics in the Caribbean and Diaspora https://t.co/uQZ9pcUgH0
Dr. Chevy Eugene of Dalhousie University reflected on reparations, drawing on Jamaican cultural thinker Rex Nettleford’s phrase, “inward stretch, outward reach.”
He called for Indigenous knowledge systems, #youth and the wider African #diaspora to be part of conversations on African liberation, freedom and the future, alongside #investment and #capital. He noted that #Africa has the history, expertise and radical imagination to think about what a new Africa could look like.
