Colgate President Jeffrey Herbst sat down with George Reid Andrews, distinguished professor and chair of the department of history at the University of Pittsburgh, for another conversation from the World Affairs With Jeffrey Herbst series.
Professor Andrews is the preeminent authority on the African diaspora in Latin America, from slavery and emancipation, to race relations in the present day. He was at Colgate to deliver the Shirley Graham and W.E.B. DuBois Lecture on the subject of “Racial Inequality in Brazil and The United States.” His visit is sponsored in part by the university’s Africana and Latin American studies program.
Here is their conversation.
