Voice/Voces From the Field - AfroCuba (Swarthmore, Black Studies)

Cuba. African Diaspora. Research. In summer 2017, a team of U.S.-based student researchers journeyed to Havana and Santiago de Cuba to learn from locals on the enduring strength of the African Diaspora in the Caribbean. This mini-documentary features students in their own words, along with insights from the faculty/staff team that guided their learning. This experiential learning and research program was part of broader, Spring 2017 seminar course in Black Studies at Swarthmore College. The program was a collaboration of faculty in Black Studies, Sociology/Anthropology, Spanish, Latino & Latin American Studies, and Linguistics. Additional collaboration was with the Black Cultural Center, and the Dean's Office. Video interviews & production by Prof. Jamie A. Thomas.
