Pogroms, politics and memory: rethinking anti-Jewish violence from the Harlem Renaissance to October 7th

events

In this online seminar, Brendan McGeever (Birkbeck Institute for the Study of Antisemitism and Swarthmore College) explores how Black radicals in Harlem began to articulate a new analysis of race and class which drew them, increasingly, to analyse anti-Jewish violence in revolutionary Russia, and uncovers a multidirectional account of the pogrom; one that envelops both Black and Jewish histories.

Date: 14 May 2025

Time: 1pm to 2pm (BST)
