AFAS Featured Event: Talk with Maya Berry The Black Corporeal Undercommons in Post-Fidel Cuba
Historic expansion of market reforms in post-Fidel Revolutionary Cuba has contributed to increasingly stark racialized class inequality on the island. The contours of these socioeconomic changes are felt and mediated by Black people in distinctly gendered ways. In this talk, based on ethnographic fieldwork with rumberos (rumba performers) between 2012 and 2018, the embodied practices of African-inspired faith systems are engaged as means for ritual kin to form a space of well-being autonomous from the state and its development designs.
