CAAR in a nutshellWhat we are

CAAR is a financially independent, international organization of scholars of African

American and Black Diaspora studies from all over Europe, Canada, China, Japan, the

US and several African countries. Members come from a range of disciplines including

literature, history, cultural studies, film studies, social sciences, as well as from queer

studies and gender studies.

The membership is made up of professors, students, and independent scholars and

activists outside the academy.

What we do

In order to stimulate research in African American Studies in Europe, the Collegium

of African American Research (CAAR) promotes intellectual collaboration through the

creation of an international and interdisciplinary research and teaching network.

CAAR organizes bi-annual conferences, sponsors local symposia, helps to create re-

search networks, particularly for younger scholars, and supports publications, most

prominently its FORECAAST Series (Forum for European Contributions in African Ame-

rican Studies).

Established by a group of European-based scholars heavily indebted to the social mo-

vements that led to the creation of Black Studies in the United States, the Collegium

sees its purpose in this intellectual and political tradition.

As a consequence, CAAR is dedicated to the production of scholarship that acknowled-

ges the centrality of the imperial and colonial legacy of the West. Thus, the Collegium’s

5


mission remains the production and promotion of knowledge of the Black Diaspora, its

interrelatedness with and its effects on our present systems of knowledge (humanities,

social sciences, natural sciences), which, traditionally, have failed to incorporate the

insights and perspectives of the Black experience.

To carry out its mission, CAAR remains committed to the elaboration of multicultural

and antiracist epistemologies, doing so, by fostering interdisciplinary and transnatio-

nal academic practices. Recently, CAAR has increasingly attracted younger scholars

allowing them to engage in interdisciplinary exchange in various fields related to Afri-

can American Studies.

Where we come from

CAAR was founded at the University of the Sorbonne Nouvelle in 1992 and incorpo-

rated at the University of Rome later that year, and has since been run by a board of

distinguished European and US based African-Americanists.
