The 22nd Annual David Noble Lecture will feature Robin D.G. Kelley. His talk is titled “‘A Female Candide\u2019: U.S. Empire, Racial Cartographies, and the Education of Grace Halsell, 1952 – 1986.” Kelley\u2019s talk focuses on Texas<\/a>-born journalist Grace Halsell<\/a>, who spent part of the Cold War<\/a> as a foreign correspondent, including a stint in Vietnam<\/a>, working as a staff writer under President Lyndon B. Johnson<\/a>, and engaged in investigations into U.S. \u201cinternal colonies.\u201d She chemically darkened her skin and lived as a black woman in Harlem<\/a> and Mississippi<\/a>, resulting in her book, Soul Sister<\/a><\/em>; she published Bessie Yellowhair<\/em> about living as a Navajo<\/a> and working as a housekeeper; and The Illegals<\/em>, a book about passing as an undocumented worker from Mexico. In the course of her travels and experiments in racial passing<\/a>, the worlds she encountered undermined the conceits she grew up with. Halsell\u2019s world view, schooled in Cold War liberalism, Southern paternalism & white supremacy, and domesticity, begins to unravel especially after her stint in Vietnam, and even more so when she turns her attention to the U.S., its ghettos, reservations, borders and finally to Palestine<\/a>. So in some ways, this is a classic loss of innocence story.<\/p>\n
