Abstract
This article draws from a roundtable – “Protest and Gender Activism in Light of The Sir George Williams Affair: Legacies, Pedagogies, Future” – organized within Protests and Pedagogy: The Legacies of Caribbean Student Resistance and the Sir George Williams Affair, Montreal 1969, a ten-day program to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the “Sir George Williams Affair.” Recognizing that the influence of gender on Black social protest has received inadequate attention, I examine its relevance in relation to the Sir George Williams Affair and the legacy of that protest. Furthermore, complicating assumptions about the Sir George Williams Affair, this article situates the Black protest within a wider reflection on postcolonial and Caribbean revolutionary protest narratives, but also contemporary intergenerational praxis of Caribbean feminism.
