Join us as Prof. Christen Smith explores “The Black Radical Thought of Beatriz Nascimento.”
Beatriz Nascimento was arguably one of the most influential Black radical thinkers of the 20th century. An historian by training, she was a cultural critic, a public intellectual and a cultural geographer who spoke vehemently against the myth of Brazil’s racial democracy and theorized the Black Brazilian condition from the perspective of the Black Atlantic.
