Parisa Vaziri: Racial Blackness and Indian Ocean Slavery

  • Résumé

  • Bringing together cinema studies, Middle East studies, Black studies, and postcolonial theory, Parisa Vaziri’s new book, Racial Blackness and Indian Ocean Slavery explores African enslavement in the Indian Ocean through the little-known history of Iranian cinema. It shows that Iranian film reveals a resistance to facticity representative of the history of African enslavement in the Indian Ocean and preserves the legacy of African slavery in ways that resist its overpowering erasure in the popular and historical imagination.

    Parisa Vaziri is an assistant professor of comparative literature at Cornell University. Her research and teaching interests explore critiques of history and the subject, as articulated primarily by black critical thought, poststructuralist theory, and film and media studies.
