The next bi-annual CAAR conference, titled "Black States of Desire: Dispossession, Circulation, Transformation", will take place in Paris in 2011, april 6-9.

"Placing the emphasis on the conditions of social transformation in the black world, it will articulate two main axes of analysis and reflection: the intersection of a socioeconomic approach with a multicultural and identity-focused perspective; the relation between theorizing processes and material transformation, between intellectual activity and political action, and between different communities with specific agendas."
