Please join the Rutgers Advanced Institute for Critical Caribbean Studies (RAICCS) and CLAS' Interdisciplinary Caribbean Working Group on December 5th at 4:30 pm for a book talk by Dr. Yomaira Figueroa-Vásquez, followed by the RAICCS annual holiday reception! 

Dr. Figueroa-Vásquez will be interviewed virtually by Ph.D. student Ariana Costales del Toro. Together, they will discuss her award-winning book Decolonizing Diasporas: Radical Mappings of Afro-Atlantic Literature which maps literature from Spanish-speaking sub-Saharan African and Afro-Latinx Caribbean diasporas to offer new worldviews that unsettle and dismantle the logics of colonial modernity.

 Join us after the talk for yummy food and drinks!
