SUMMARY:(Hybrid) From Slavery to Black Lives Matter with Pap Ndiaye
DESCRIPTION:Join Evenings with an Author and Black History Month to discuss \nLes Noirs Américains\nwith Professor Pap Ndiaye and writer Jake Lamar \nClick here to RSVP\nIn March 2021\, many news outlets from Le Monde to the New York Times reported on a historic moment: Pap Ndiaye\, a French historian specializing in African American and Afro-French history\, had been appointed director of the National Museum of the History of Immigration in Paris. Built in 1931 to celebrate French colonialism\, the museum has a troubled historical identity which Ndiaye seeks to expose and transform.  \nDescribed as a “quiet revolutionary\,” Ndiaye’s appointment as director followed an immensely successful transatlantic academic career. Born and raised in Paris\, he first encountered African American history at the University of Virginia\, where he completed his master’s in history. His initial research led him to pioneer a comparative historical approach\, researching the African diaspora in France and America in order to conceive of a transnational philosophy of race as its intersectionality. An authority on questions of race and post-colonialism\, Ndiaye frequently consults on various cultural projects from the Musée d’Orsay’s exhibit “Black Models” to the Opéra Garnier’s diversity report. The author of many books\, including La Condition noire and Les Noirs américains:en marche pour l’égalité\, Ndiaye has also written for Le Monde and Libération. Ndiaye will be in conversation with writer Jake Lamar.  \nClick here to RSVP\nAbout the interviewer: \nJake Lamar is a Paris-based author and professor of creative writing. He has received numerous awards for his work\, most notably the Lyndhurst Prize\, which was awarded to his début novel Bourgeois Blues and France’s Grand Prize for best foreign thriller for The Last Integrationist. He is also the recipient of the Centre National du Livre grant and the Beaumarchais fellowship.  \nClick here to RSVP\n*The discussion will be available both online and in person. While the conversation will happen in person (Ndiaye and Lamar will appear in the Reading Room)\, the Library will stream the conversation on Zoom for a live viewing experience. Both in-person and online attendees will be able to pose questions. The conversation is organized and co-sponsored by Little Africa Paris. \nOn-site information regarding COVID-19: In compliance with French regulations\, a pass sanitaire is required for all visitors ages 12+. Visitors ages 6+\, staff\, and volunteers are required to wear masks on the premises.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) What Really Troubles the 99% with Albena Azmanova
DESCRIPTION:Join Evenings with an Author (in-person and online*) to discuss \nWhat Really Troubles the 99%\nwith professors Albena Azmanova and Lucas Chancel \nClick here to RSVP\nA daring and unapologetic intervention in post-2008 financial crisis leftism\, Albena Azmanova’s Capitalism on the Edge offers a radical alternative to traditional anti-capitalist narratives which place inequality at the center of their critiques. Azmanova claims rather that the central contradiction of the modern age is the emergence of “precarity capitalism”: on one side\, ceaseless pursuit of profit on a corporate level; on the other\, a labor force living in constant financial insecurity. It is this perennial state of anxiety which fosters social and political division; and it is by way of political alliance and social policy aimed at developing trust that we can overcome it. \nBoth polemical and analytic\, Azmanova rejects tropes of capitalism in crisis\, as well as calls for revolution to combat. What we need\, she instead proposes\, is to abandon the rhetoric of utopia\, and to embrace reform beyond ideological boundaries. As such\, rather than asking how we might better capitalism or how we might dismantle it\, Azmanova presents a policy-based action plan aimed at subverting it from within. Azmanova will be in conversation with economist Lucas Chancel. \nClick here to RSVP\nAbout the speakers: \nAlbena Azmanova is a tenured Associate Professor of Political and Social Theory at the University of Kent’s Brussels School of International Studies and author of The Scandal of Reason: A Critical Theory of Political Judgment (2012). She has served as policy advisor for the United Nations\, the Council of Europe\, and the European Parliament\, among other institutions. Born in Bulgaria\, she has resided in Brussels since 1997. \nThe Co-Director of the World Inequality Lab at the Paris Scool of Economics\, and an Affiliate Professor at Sciences Po\, Lucas Chancel is an economist who specializes in inequality and in environmental policy. His work focuses on the measurement of economic inequality\, its interactions with sustainable development and on the implementation of social and ecological policies. Coverage of his research can be found in Science\, Nature\, The Guardian\, The Financial Times\, the New York Times\, CNN\, Le Monde\, Der Spiegel\, El Pais\, and several other publications. \nRegistration required. Free and open to the public. \n*The discussion will be available both online and in person. While the conversation will happen in person (Azmanova and Chancel will appear in the Reading Room)\, the Library will stream the conversation on Zoom for a live viewing experience. Both in-person and online attendees will be able to pose questions. \nClick here to RSVP\n•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• \nImportant: on-site information regarding COVID-19 \nIn compliance with French regulations\, a pass sanitaire is required for all visitors ages 12+. Visitors ages 6+\, staff\, and volunteers are required to wear masks on the premises.

SUMMARY:(Online) Entre Nous: Black is the Journey\, Africana the Name
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Entre Nous series in partnership with Columbia Global Centers | Paris and the Institute for Ideas and Imagination\, join professors Maboula Soumahoro and Kaiama L. Glover\, both specialists of Africana and Diaspora Studies\, for a discussion about Soumahoro’s recent book\, Black is the Journey\, Africana the Name.  \nIn this highly original book\, Soumahoro explores the cultural and political vastness of the Black Atlantic\, where Africa\, Europe\, and the Americas were tied together by the brutal realities of the slave trade and colonialism. Each of these spaces has its own way of reading the Black body and the Black experience\, and its own modes of visibility\, invisibility\, silence\, and amplification of Black life. By weaving together her personal history with that of France and its abiding myth of color-blindness\, Soumahoro highlights the banality and persistence of structural racism in France today\, and shows that freedom will be found in the journey and movement between the sites of the Atlantic triangle. Africana is the name of that freedom. \nClick here to RSVP\nAbout the speakers: \nMaboula Soumahoro is an associate professor at the University of Tours and president of the Black History Month Association\, dedicated to celebrating Black history and cultures. A specialist in the field of Africana Studies\, she has conducted research and taught in several universities and prisons in the United States and France and was most recently a Villa Albertine Resident in Atlanta. She is the author of Le Triangle et l’Hexagone\, réflexions sur une identité noire (La Découverte\, 2021)\, translated in English by Dr. Kaiama L. Glover as Black Is the Journey\, Africana the Name (Polity\, 2021). This book received the FetKann! Maryse Condé literary prize in 2020. \nKaiama L. Glover is Ann Whitney Olin Professor of French & Africana Studies and Faculty Director of the Barnard Digital Humanities Center at Barnard College. She is an awardee of the PEN/Heim Foundation\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, the National Endowment for the Humanities\, the Mellon Foundation\, and the New York Public Library Cullman Center. She is the founding co-editor of archipelagos | a journal of Caribbean digital praxis\, the founding co-organizer of “The Caribbean Digital\,” and the founding co-director of the digital humanities project In the Same Boats: Toward an Afro-Atlantic Intellectual Cartography. In 2018-2019 she was a resident Fellow at the Columbia Institute for Ideas and Imagination in Paris\, France where she began work on her new book project\, For the Love of Revolution: René Depestre and the Poetics of a Radical Life. \nClick here to RSVP

SUMMARY:(Online) Hood Feminism with Mikki Kendall
DESCRIPTION:Join Evenings with an Author and Black History Month to discuss \nHood Feminism\nwith authors Mikki Kendall and Kierstan Kaushal-Carter \nClick here to RSVP\nIn recent years\, many have zeroed in on the workplace as the site of female oppression; from sexual harassment to unequal career opportunities\, women are fighting for their right to work safely and productively. Observing this phenomenon in her work Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot\, Mikki Kendall offers a simple but radical counter-argument: today’s iteration of feminism\, by ignoring material conditions for survival such as food security\, medical care\, education\, and access to safe housing\, has left behind the majority of women.  \nProposing that hunger\, homelessness\, homophobia\, racial discrimination\, and more are feminist issues\, Kendall takes aim at the blindness of feminist movements toward the everyday experience and needs of women. Reintroducing the intersection of race and class into contemporary feminist lexicon\, Kendall writes\, is the only way to salvage the movement itself. Until this moment\, the commitment to solidarity at the heart of the feminist mission is worth nogthing. Equal parts pointed critique\, personal narrative\, and call to action\, the work refuses to exculpate the women who use feminist mantles to opress others. In this way\, Hood Feminism charts a path for true female liberation. The conversation is organized and co-sponsored by Little Africa Paris. \nAbout the speakers: \nMikki Kendall is a writer\, cultural critic\, diversity consultant\, and “occasional feminist.” She speaks and writes on feminist history and race\, as well as on police violence and contemporary culture. Her work has been published in The Guardian\, The Washington Post\, and NBC News; she has appeared on the BBC\, NPR\, The Daily Show\, and PBS. She is the author of graphic novel Amazons\, Abolitionists\, and Activists (2019). \nHaving received a M.A. in Government from Harvard University and a B.A. in English and American Culture Studies from Washington University in St. Louis.\, Kierstan Kaushal-Carter is now a fourth-year doctoral student in African and African American Studies at Harvard University\, where she is writing about policing in the twenty first century. Her published writing can be found in The St. Louis Anthology\, and The New Republic Magazine.  \nClick here to RSVP

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Myth of a Colorblind France
DESCRIPTION:Join Evenings with an Author and Black History Month to discuss \nMyth of a Colorblind France*\nwith film-maker Alan Govenar and Monique Wells \nClick here to RSVP \n*Please note that the event will now start at 19h CET and run for 90 minutes.\nThe term ‘colorblind’ is complicated and frequently ambiguous\, carrying with it both negative and positive connotations. Historically\, France has been celebrated for its colorblind ethos\, which favors equality over difference. However\, recent discussions have highlighted the ways the colorblind approach ignores socio-political structures and undervalues the particularities of the Black experience. Alan Govenar’s documentary\, Myth of a Colorblind France\, arrives at a pertinent moment in this debate. Detailing both historical African American artists who saw France as a place of refuge from American racism\, and the experience of immigrants and people of color in present-day France\, Govenar offers a rich picture of Black history in France while also criticizing oversimplified narratives depicting France as a racial utopia.  \nUltimately\, the film invites us to reflect on the nature of myth: what myth is\, how it can be put to use\, and how we can simultaneously find truth and falsity in it. From figures such as Josephine Baker\, James Baldwin\, and Richard Wright\, to contemporary artists such as musician Karim Toure\, Govenar’s tone is neither naïve nor damning\, but rather celebratory of Black life and art.  \nClick here to RSVP\nAbout the speakers: \nAlan Govenar is a writer\, folklorist\, and visual artist. He is the author of eighteen books\, including Osceola: Memories of a Sharecropper’s Daughter\, which won First Place in the New York Book Festival and was awarded a Boston Globe-Hornbook Honor. Also a photographer and film-maker\, his film Stoney Knows How was selected as an Outstanding Film of the Year by the London Film Festival. \nA native of Houston\, Texas\, Dr. Monique Wells is the founder and CEO of the Wells International Foundation which works to empower individuals\, especially women and persons of African descent. As an African-American resident of Paris\, veterinary pathologist and toxicologist\, world traveler\, entrepreneur and arts enthusiast\, Dr. Wells knows there is a great need to expose Paris-based minorities to educational and cultural opportunities that will allow them to have a richer\, more rewarding life. \nClick here to RSVP\n*The discussion will be available both online and in person. While the conversation will happen in person (Wells will appear in the Reading Room and Govenar will appear on Zoom)\, the Library will stream the conversation on Zoom for a live viewing experience. Both in-person and online attendees will be able to pose questions. The conversation is organized and co-sponsored by Little Africa Paris. \n*Please note that the event will now start at 19h CET and run for 90 minutes.\nOn-site information regarding COVID-19: In compliance with French regulations\, a pass sanitaire is required for all visitors ages 12+.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) American Runaway with Audrey Edwards
DESCRIPTION:Join Evenings with an Author and Black History Month to discuss \nAmerican Runaway\nwith author Audrey Edwards and Ellen Wright-Hervé \nClick here to RSVP \nAs the 2016 election campaign wore on\, many Americans promised to leave America if Donald Trump was elected. And when Trump won in November\, celebrated journalist Audrey Edwards did just that. Inspired by a history of Black Americans leaving the United States for France in search of social and political liberation\, Edwards left the country to both protest Trump and to protect her well-being as a Black woman. Her new book\, American Runaway: Black and Free in Paris in the Trump Years\, chronicles the life she made for herself abroad.  \nA witty\, captivating\, and moving work\, American Runaway captures Edwards’s sharp voice and dry humor. Filled with fabulous soirées\, kooky characters\, complicated friendships\, and the occasionally messy cultural exchange\, the work is simultaneously accessible and vulnerable. It broaches the varied challenges known by all expats of leaving one’s home behind\, as well as the particular experience of a Black woman “of a certain age” in the City of Lights. Ultimately\, Edwards offers a triumphant story of self-liberation. \nClick here to RSVP\nAbout the speakers: \nAudrey Edwards is a journalist and author whose work\, over the course of her career\, grapples with issues of race and gender. A former Executive Editor of Essence and Vice President of Editorial Operations at Black Enterprise\, Edwards has worked with figures such as Oprah Winfrey and Maxime Waters to make the work and experiences of Black women accessible to mass-media audiences. She is the author of Children of the Dream: The Psychology of Black Success and The Man from Essence: Creating a Magazine for Black Women\, among other works.  \nEllen Wright-Hervé is the French granddaughter of Black writer Richard Wright\, who lived and worked in Paris as an expatriate for much of his life. Born in Accra\, Ghana to parents who worked with Kwame Nkrumah for Ghana’s independence\, Wright-Hervé has since lived in Lagos\, London\, Rennes\, Tours and presently Paris. In addition to work dedicated to training in hospitals\, she works actively in the city to preserve her grandfather’s legacy as a writer and cultural figure. She is currently conducting research on his life and work.  \n  \n  \nClick here to RSVP\n*The discussion will be available both online and in person. While the conversation will happen in person (Edwards and Wright-Hervé will appear in the Reading Room)\, the Library will stream the conversation on Zoom for a live viewing experience. Both in-person and online attendees will be able to pose questions. The conversation is organized and co-sponsored by Little Africa Paris. \nOn-site information regarding COVID-19: In compliance with French regulations\, a pass sanitaire is required for all visitors ages 12+.

SUMMARY:(Live) The Creative Process Revealed
DESCRIPTION:*Live Event Only* \nJoin Evenings with an Author to discuss \nThe Creative Process Revealed\nwith Jonathan Bloom  \nClick here to RSVP\nIn what ways does tracing the creative process give us a better understanding of a published work? How do writers’ decisions to add or remove material\, however minor or extensive\, substantially alter their work? How does the actual choice and use of writing tools influence that process? In what ways do editorial suggestions for revision enter into the process as well\, after authors submit for publication what they consider to be their final versions?\n\nThis unusually diverse multiple-author collection devoted entirely to British and Irish writers explores many facets of the creative process while revealing hitherto unexamined\, unpublished writings from numerous archives and private collections on both sides of the Atlantic. Spanning over a century of writing\, the volume explores the creative process in four genres (the novel\, poetry\, autobiography\, the short story)\, examines the work of major canonical writers as well as award-winning living writers\, and counts among its contributors distinguished international scholars and writers working in such wide-ranging fields as modernism\, life writing\, genetic criticism\, creative writing\, gender studies\, codicology\, and electronic textual editing. Much can be learned from these pioneering investigations and archival revelations which offer general readers\, writers\, and critics alike the rare opportunity to witness the hidden craftsmanship at the heart of the creative process.\n\nCopies of Genesis and Revision in Modern British and Irish Writers will be for sale after the event for just 20€ (retail price 70-100€) thanks to Bill & Rosa’s Book Room (Paris West – Boulogne). After the event\, additional copies may be ordered by contacting BRbookroom@gmail.com.\n \nAbout the speaker: \nJonathan Bloom is Senior Lecturer at the University of Paris-Dauphine\, Paris Sciences & Lettres\, France. He has published widely and his book The Art of Revision in the Short Stories of V. S. Pritchett and William Trevor (Palgrave Macmillan\, 2007) received critical acclaim and was nominated for the MLA First Book Prize.  He has been awarded three Harry Ransom Center Fellowships and works primarily in 20th century British literature and genetic criticism. \n*The event will not be online. \nOn-site information regarding COVID-19: In compliance with French regulations\, a pass sanitaire is required for all visitors ages 12+. Visitors ages 6+\, staff\, and volunteers are required to wear masks on the premises.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) How to Play La Parisienne
DESCRIPTION:Join Evenings with an Author (in-person and online*) to discuss \nPlaying the Parisienne\nwith actor Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu and journalist Elaine Sciolino \nClick here to RSVP\nIt is almost impossible to live as an expat in France without\, at least once\, confronting the cultural phenomenon that is the Netflix series “Emily in Paris.” If you haven’t watched it\, you have a friend or relative that has. Though the series has received a blend of love\, curiosity\, as well as sometimes vitriol\, a particular target of public attention has been the character Sylvie Grateau (played by Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu)\, who heads the marketing agency that reluctantly hosts Emily Cooper (played by Lily Collins)\, the show’s guileless American heroine.  \nPhilippine Leroy-Beaulieu\, a seasoned French actress who plays the effortlessly chic and compellingly mean antagonist-turned-friend\, believes that her character is more complicated than the stereotypes to which public opinion has reduced her. In a recent New York Times profile by journalist Elaine Sciolino\, she defended the show’s lack of realism\, and explained her method and inspirations for stepping into Sylvie’s strappy shoes. In an exciting evening for expat and French viewers alike\, Leroy-Beaulieu and Sciolino will continue their conversation on femininity\, age\, style\, and mean (and nice) Parisians at the American Library. Join the two women as they discuss the trajectory of Leroy-Beaulieu’s career\, the cultural aftershocks of “Emily in Paris\,” and her experience adopting the mantle of the elegant and infamous Parisienne.  \nClick here to RSVP\nAbout the speakers: \nElaine Sciolino is a contributing writer and former Paris bureau chief for The New York Times\, based in France since 2002. Her latest book\, The Seine: The River That Made Paris\, was a Los Angeles Times bestseller and a Barnes & Noble nonfiction book-of-the-month selection. Her previous book\, The Only Street in Paris: Life on the Rue des Martyrs\, published in 2015\, was a New York Times best seller. Sciolino was decorated chevalier of the Legion of Honor in 2010 for her “special contribution” to the friendship between France and the United States. \nPhilippine Leroy-Beaulieu\, who grew up in Rome before moving to Paris as a teenager\, was nominated for a César for the 1985 comedy and runaway hit\, “Trois Hommes et un Couffin.” Over the years\, she has played roles as varied as Charlotte Corday (Marat’s assassin during the French Revolution)\, a drug addict\, a Russian aristocrat\, a psychopathic doctor turned police officer\, and a Polish-Jewish émigré in World War II France. More recently\, she has been known for playing the beautiful ambitious wife of Mathias Barneville\, the most senior agent\, in Cédric Klapisch’s Dix Pour Cent.   \nClick here to RSVP\n*The discussion will be available both online and in person. While the conversation will happen in person (Leroy-Beaulieu and Sciolino will appear in the Reading Room)\, the Library will stream the conversation on Zoom for a live viewing experience. Both in-person and online attendees will be able to pose questions. \nOn-site information regarding COVID-19: In compliance with French law\, a valid Pass Vaccinal (ages 16+) or Pass Sanitaire (ages 12–15) is required to enter the Library. Masks must be worn correctly at all times by all Library visitors ages 6 and up.
