Superb review of Lenny Henry & Marcus Ryder's reasoned explanation of reparations & Nigel Biggar's malevolent rebuttal. @bizk.bsky.social far quicker than my plodding pace but writing something along similar lines that delves more into the histories of slavery now. observer.co.uk/culture/book...

Introducing this special issue on the theme of "Stuart Hall in Translation," Kuntal Biswas wrote "Introduction – the Unfinished Stuart Hall." The introduction to Volume 38, Issue 6 can be found here: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

This graphic primarily features text. The first text reads, “New Article • Current Issue,” and then it shares the title of the article: “Introduction – the Unfinished Stuart Hall.” The bottom of the graphic then specifies the author and issue information: “Kuntal Biswas • Volume 38, Issue 6 (2024)”

The second image is titled “A Look Inside,” and it features the first paragraph of the article: “In July 2000, Stuart Hall delivered a keynote lecture entitled ‘Diasporas, or the logics of cultural translation’ (or ‘Diásporas, ou a lógica da tradução cultural’) at a comparative literature conference in Salvador, the capital of Brazil’s northeastern state of Bahia (Hall 2016). Beginning his lecture with an apology for ‘speaking in a foreign language’ and pledging to talk slowly ‘on pain of death by my translators’, Hall embarks upon a journey around the ‘Black Atlantic’s southern meridian’, interweaving the histories and fates of the Caribbean and Brazilian people – ‘translated societies’ whose experiences resonate with one another from colonisation to globalization (2016).” There is a separate segment at the bottom that says “Continue Reading at the Link in Our Description.”
