Franchesca Araújo

Franchesca is grounded in the work of Black Caribbean intellectuals and Caribbean theory emergent from afro caribbean communities. She is interested in Black geographies, the political economy, and Black cultural productions of the Spanish speaking Caribbean, anti Imperial articulations of Blackness, decolonial Black and Indigenous feminist theory emergent fron the Caribbean and Latin America, and racial formation and the nation state vis a vis the imperial international arena.

 

She works on the possibilities of anti colonial discourses, and Black insurgent geographies in the Dominican Republic in relation with Haiti. She is interested in Afro Caribbean networks and lineages despite language barriers and is grounded in the commitment to an antillenité method and contesting the violences of latinidad and its dominant academic canon.
