Welcome to BLKMEN CAN TALK, a show where Black Canadian men come together to have real, unfiltered conversations about life, culture, and community.
Your hosts are Paul Osbourne, Kofi Morris and Dr. Vibe™.
On a recent episode of BLKMEN CAN TALK our guest was Dr. Chevy Eugene aka Chevy X.
During our conversation, Reparations for those of African descent has been a critical issue for decades. Dr. Eugene talked talking about Reparations, what is currently happening with the movement and why it is relevant to Canada.
Recognized as one of the Global Top 100 Most Influential People of African Descent (MIPAD) in politics and governance, Dr. Chevy Eugene is a cross-pointed Assistant Professor in the Black and African Diaspora Studies (BAFD) Program and the Department of Political Science at Dalhousie University. Dr. Eugene’s research takes up the historical struggles for reparations by conceptualizing it as a liberation praxis for conquest, enslavement, colonialism, and neocolonialism in new worldmaking in the Caribbean context. It proposes a decolonial reparations framework that seeks to delink demands for reparations from neoliberal epistemologies and mechanisms that perpetuate the continuation of neocolonial governmentalities in the Caribbean. Additionally, his research explores the role of the arts and social movements in the politicization and mobilization of young people in the Caribbean and its diasporas on the issue of reparatory justice. Dr. Eugene’s current project argues for a decolonial and holistic undertaking of reparations in Canada by connecting the contemporary manifestations of anti-Black systemic racism to transatlantic slavery. Furthermore, he has undertaken various consultancy projects, most notably with the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), to assist States and other key partners to deliver reparations for people of African descent through a human rights and intersectional approach.
Dr. Eugene’s professional involvement extends beyond academia. He serves as the Caribbean ambassador for the Pan-African Council (PAC). This role allows him to lead a collective of entrepreneurs, business leaders, cultural ambassadors, government actors, academics, and activists from the Anglophone, Francophone, Spanish, and Dutch Caribbean to foster political, economic, and social cooperation with Africa.
