  Stefano Harney and Fred Moten: April 6, 2022

  After an introduction by their friend and comrade Manolo Callahan, of the Center for Convivial Research and Autonomy, Stefano Harney and Fred Moten deliver the second of four linked Bay Area lectures, under the collective title "Felicity Street." The present lecture is titled "Involvement and Betrayal" (On Andaiye, Martin Carter, Guyana and what Michelle Cliff calls "the centerless, outward edgelessness of the Caribbean"). Throughout their talk, Harney and Moten respond to questions and comments from the audience. The program was co-presented by The Poetry Center and The Green Arcade, with thanks to our host, the McRoskey Mattress Company, and to the Bagley Wright Lecture Series on Poetry, for their initiation and support of this series of lectures.
