  Studies presents the 60th A\nual Erasmus LectureIn recognition of the imp
 ortance of the Centre’s Erasmus collection, each year a scholar of intern
 ational reputation is invited to present a formal fall lecture at the CRRS
 . The CRRS is happy to feature Dr. Herman Bennett’s Keynote Address the 20
 24 Erasmus Lecture.Abstract:Employing the familiar philosophical framing,
  Subject & Subjection, this talk brings into relief an overlooked moment 
 in the African-Christian encounter.  “I am overdetermined from without,” 
 wrote Frantz Fanon in reference to a decidedly modern colonial context ref
 racting the existentialist dilemma configured by subject and subjection.  
 But as this talk argues, reducing subject and subjection to a singular pa
 st risks overdetermining and reducing blackness to a mere negation thereby
  losing sight of experiences that exceeded governance mediated by early-mo
 dern difference (race) and materiality (capitalism).Speaker:Dr. Herman Ben
 nett, Distinguished Professor, History, Africana Studies, American Stu
 dies, Global Early Modern Studies CUNY Graduate CenterHerman Bennett is a
  renowned scholar on the history of the African diaspora, with a particul
 ar focus on Latin American history. Through his work, he has called for s
 cholars to broaden the critical inquiry of race and ethnicity in the colon
 ial world. He has written extensively on the presence of African slaves an
 d freedmen in Mexican society during the colonial period and on the conseq
 uent interaction between Native Americans, Europeans, and Africans in co
 lonial Mexico. Bennett has received fellowships from the Institute for Adv
 anced Study at Princeton, the Mellon Foundation, the National Endowment 
 for the Humanities, and the American Council of Learned Societies. He has
  lectured widely in Europe and the Americas, and comes to the Graduate Ce
 nter from Rutgers University after starting his scholarly career at Johns 
 Hopkins University. Bennett holds a Ph.D. in Latin American history from D
