Haitian Migrants in Cuba, or the Workings of US Empire in the Caribbean

April 25, 2017
6:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Sulzberger Hall 3rd Floor Parlor
Matthew Casey will present from his new book Empire’s Guest Workers: Haitian Migrants in Cuba during the Age of US Occupation, which uses the on-the-ground experiences of Haitian migrants in Cuba to understand how the daily actions of seemingly powerless individuals shaped larger processes of US imperialism, economic penetration, race-making and shifts in global migration policies.
