What is the Black Atlantic? – The Black Atlantic: Episode 1 | Tate
In 1993, Paul Gilroy published a ground-breaking book, The Black Atlantic: Modernity & Double Consciousness, which has forever left its mark on historical and cultural studies. The idea that there exists a culture which is African, American, Caribbean, and British, all at once, has generated the rich and boundless space that is Black Atlantic thinking. Watch all the episodes of the four-part mini-series.
