Use the chapter from Paul Gilroy’s The Black Atlantic titled, “Without the Consolation of Tears”: Richard Wright, France, and the Ambivalence of Community” to compose a double-spaced 4-5 page paper addressing the following question:
How did Europe function in the political imagination of diasporic Africans? What role did settling in Europe have on the intellectual work of Caribbean and Afro-American thinkers like Wright, DuBois, and Stuart Hall? Were there differences in experiences and perceptions of those who traveled to Britain, France, and Germany? Be sure to engage and reference the required chapter as well as other readings from the semester that would substantiate your claims.
