DESCRIPTION:How does storytelling resist injustice? What happens when moder
 nization becomes a project of erasure\, displacing communities\, reshaping
  identity\, and silencing language?\n\nJoin us for From Empire to Erasure:
  The View from Mediterranean Africa with Professor Vaughn Rasberry. This e
 vent explores the power of memory as a form of resistance in North Africa\
 , particularly in moments of political upheaval\, post-colonialism\, and f
 orced displacement. Through a discussion of modernity\, language\, and mem
 ory\, including the histories of Nubian displacement and Amazigh revival\,
  Professor Rasberry will guide us in examining how literature and memory c
 onfront oppression and preserve what systems of power attempt to erase.\n\
 nWe invite you to reflect on the role of storytelling in reclaiming identi
 ty through remembrance\, resistance\, and revival.\n\n \n\n\n\nVaughn Rasb
 erry is a Stanford professor of English and African & African American Stu
 dies whose work examines African diaspora literature\, postcolonial theory
 \, and modernity. He is the award-winning author of Race and the Totalitar
 ian Century: Geopolitics in the Black Literary Imagination.\n\nThe event w
 ill be moderated by the Abbasi-Markaz 25-26 Fellow Ameera Eshtewi.
