On March 21, 2021, CRRJ hosted a workshop series event with Kris Manjapra, Associate Professor of History at Tufts.

A scholar of transnational history, Professor Manjapra discussed the comparative history of 19th C emancipation processes and post slavery liberation struggles across the Atlantic world as part of his current book project, Black Ghosts of Empire: The Long Death of Slavery and the Problem of Emancipation. Published by Penguin and Simon & Shuster, the book will be available next year.
