Homegoing: Blackness and Belonging Across the Canada/US Border
The second lecture of the Simon Fraser University Department of History's 2021-2022 Annual Public Lecture Series, Highlighting Black Histories.
Abstract
"But, where are you really from?" Using the analytical insights of Black political thought and the hard lessons learned from a decade of moving back and forth across the Canada/US border, Debra Thompson explores the boundaries of racial belonging, considers the peculiar nuances of racism in Canada and the United States, revels in the resilience of freedom dreams that link and inspire Black people across national borders, and, ultimately asks what it means to be in a place, but not of that place.
