This talk draws from James Cantres’s Blackening Britain: Caribbean Radicalism from Windrush to Decolonization, a capacious investigation into politics of resistance and novel ingenious epistemologies expressed through Caribbean activism, cultural production, and knowledge-making across the decolonizing Black Atlantic world. Exploring notions of “unbelonging”,” Cantres considers the way radical Caribbean artist-intellectuals and organizers agitated to critique racialism in metropolitan Britain while creating spaces, ideas, and institutions grounded in Caribbean and African sensibilities. The radicalism of these post-national Caribbean mobilizations in Britain extended beyond the limits of the structures of post-coloniality in the West Indies. Yardies, Rastafarians, and calypsonians in the capital were responding directly to conditions of in the metropole and informed by networks linking them to anticolonial, antiracist projects across the world. Part of the Global Critical Caribbean Thought series at Rowman-Littlefield International, Blackening Britain demonstrates the unique diasporic formations rendered through Caribbean historical actors’ reckoning between histories, citizenships, privileges destroyed or taken away and the emergence of new modes of liberatory thinking. Afro-Caribbean political negotiations and innovative imaginaries reflect tensions of the unique historical moment out of which they emerged in the context of Black Atlantic upheavals.

Although Masculinities Studies have also flourished in the Global South, most southern research in this field remains unknown to the rest of the world, mainly due to language barriers, lack of incentive in publications and lack of interaction with scholars and publishers of the Global North. In other words, research and scholarship from the southern hemisphere barely circulate in the Global North; and those that do, are mostly written/interpreted from a northern point of view.
The main objective of this book project is to bring together native/global south authors working in the field of masculinities, with empirical and theoretical research, in the humanities and social sciences. The project will excel in bringing together a varied range of methodologies and theories that express works that open other paradigms beyond the long known and exalted theories of the Global North. Principally, the aim is to create a climate of exchange of knowledge, bringing us closer to research and the creation of new theories from our regions, at present little, or even unknown.
