SUMMARY:History and Political Economy Colloquium with Prof. Adam Sabra
DESCRIPTION:The colloquium offers a forum for open\, substantive discussions on how to approach political economy from a historical perspective; how to grapple with and benefit from the epistemological diversity surrounding political economy; and how a historical take on political economy can help contextualize and address urgent contemporary issues– at UCSB\, in Santa Barbara/Southern California\, in the U.S.\, and around the world – ranging from rent\, inflation\, and student debt to deepening\, racialized inequality. For that purpose\, we will center our own research and put our work into conversation across geographical\, chronological\, and field boundaries.  \nAt our sixth meeting\, we will discuss “Local Power\, Empire\, and Political Economy ” with Professor Adam Sabra. \nPlease note that this session will take place in HSSB 4065.  \nIn preparation for the meeting\, please contact Professor Manuel Covo for the materials. Everyone is welcome. Light refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Stephan Miescher\, A Dam for Africa
DESCRIPTION:In A Dam for Africa historian Stephan Miescher explores four intersecting narratives that weave together around Akosombo: Ghanaian aspirations about building a hydroelectric dam in the context of decolonization and Cold War; international efforts of the US aluminum industry in benefiting from Akosombo through subsidizing the VALCO aluminum smelter; local stories of upheaval and devastation in resettlement towns; and a nation-wide quest toward electrification and energy justice during times of economic crises\, droughts\, and climate change. This book and its accompanying documentary film Ghana’s Electric Dreams (R. Lane Clark and Stephan F. Miescher\, co-produced with France Winddance Twine) tell the stories of Akosombo from multiple perspectives by foregrounding a range of historical actors.
