Adom Getachew (University of Chicago), The Iconicity of Africa

Date: Thursday 22 October 
Time: 17:00-19:00 
Venue: Schwarzman Centre, Lecture Theatre 

Registration required

Professor Adom Getachew will explore how, over the course of the 20th century, the continental image of Africa emerged as a symbolically freighted icon for a political project centred on racial solidarity and emancipation. The lecture will trace this development and consider the multiplicity of meanings that have come to cohere around the sign of Africa.
