This year I wrote a book about how Columbus colonized the Caribbean in 1492 - not what is now the US mainland.
My book DARK LABORATORY celebrates Kalinago survivance and the African agrarian x aquatic traditions people like my ancestors, who were enslaved, brought to the region.

A wonderful friend said this. I’ve been teaching university students since 2011 when I began at Yale.
What a journey now teaching @CUNY in the time of AI. Together my 70 students and I are embracing NYC as our lab 🧪 we went whale watching today.

Syllabus uploading! I love to teach Afro-Caribbean literature! Literature, in part, radically responds to the supposed objectivity of History
@huntercollege.bsky.social
Hence in my class we will also tune to Black poetics, including dancehall, for a philosophy of history itself. 🎶💿
