Caribbean Thought Semester 2 2024 Lecture 1 on 1.12.2024 by Prof. Renaldo McKenzie: Brainstorming the Course
Renaldo McKenzie introduces the course on day 1 of semester 2 at Jamaica Theological Seminary in Caribbean Thought. The course via the online portal met to explore the course. Renaldo explores the idea of the Caribbean as an invention underscoring this idea within critical thinking. We ask in whose interest is the society invented? Have inherited attitudes and beliefs held us back? Wherever you find black people there is poverty? Corruption and waste are possible reasons that have deepened Caribbean realities? What is critical thinking? Critical race theory and the dynamics of race? "The Negro is not. Anymore than the whiteman," (Fanon). Does that pertain today? What is happening in the world today with the rise in extremism and AI technology, how are we affected and what detractions or opportunities do these provide? What is the Caribbean? As part of the New World. The Lecture papers are available at Academia.edu: https://georgetown.academia.edu/Renal...
