Event overview
Come and join Goldsmiths Anthropology Society for a guest lecture by Professor Jean Besson. The lecture will focus on Caribbean slavery and slave resistance and link these themes to the ethnography of present-day Caribbean communities that are the roots of the Caribbean diaspora population in London today. These topics will be linked to the Museum of London exhibition 'London, Sugar and Slavery', to the wider context of museums and Caribbean anthropology developed at Goldsmiths - for example, Goldsmiths Caribbean ethnography helped shape the British Empire and Commonwealth Museum's exhibition "Breaking the Chains".
Jean Besson is Emeritus Professor at Goldsmiths, University of London. She has carried out research in Jamaica and the Eastern Caribbean, publishing on cultural history, land, law, development, kinship, gender, narratives, religion, migration and ethnicity.
The event is free and it is open for anyone interested.
