James G. Cantres
Dr James Cantres is an associate professor in the Department of Africana, Puerto Rican, and Latino Studies at Hunter College. His book, Blackening Britain: Caribbean Radicalism from Windrush to Decolonization (Rowman & Littlefield International, 2020) details the social and political histories of community formation, race consciousness, anti-imperialism, and radical intellectual and artistic activism among Caribbean subject-citizens in Britain following the Second World War and through the period of decolonization, independence and radical political action across Africa, the Caribbean and the United States. His research explores the ways in which African diasporic art forms, revolutionary epistemologies and Black Power reflect belonging and unbelonging among Black peoples across Black Atlantic geographies. His work has also appeared in outlets including African and Black Diaspora, Public Books and Black Issues in Philosophy. He was named a 2021 CUNY Academy for the Humanities and Sciences Henry Wasser Awardee for Outstanding Research.
