To say that I'm really enjoying my Race, Gender and Sexuality in Dancehall class would be an understatement. Today we debated whether dancehall is "capitalist" or a tool of "resistance." These were students' contributions/takeaways.

Now, some of you may understand my opposition to use of the term "decolonial." It's kinda ridiculous now in more ways than one.

The bankruptcy of the Caribbean misleadership class is boundless. To curry favor with Sandals, known as one of the worst employers in tourism in the region, which some have called a plantation is astounding.

"Whither" just didn't sound right.

This is happening next week. Such an important discussion among some instructive and critical colleagues and friends. Please tune in if you can.

Something I'm excited about in these times... my spring course on dancehall. What are you holding grace or excitement about these days?

The proofs are here for my latest essay (3 years in the works) and forthcoming in the CLR James Journal: "Unsettling the Plantation 'Babylon' System: Humanness beyond disaster, reparative ecologies and Caribbean freedom". A thoroughgoing assessment of the Caribbean reparations program. It soon come.
