SUMMARY:Tula: The Revolt
DESCRIPTION:Film Synopsis:On Curaçao in the Dutch West Indies\, Tula leads a revolt. The enslaved people who seized their freedom on the island in 1795 would be brutally repressed and slavery reimposed\, but today the revolt is recognized as being the beginning of the end of slavery in the Dutch Caribbean. Leinders’ film features actor Danny Glover\, who has advocated and worked to bring stories of slave revolution to the American cinema. \n\nContent Warning: history\, war\, violence\, racial bias\, PG 18+ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe film was screened on February 15 and was followed by a community discussion facilitated by Professor Trish Kahle \n\n\nTrish Kahle is an Assistant Professor of history at Georgetown University Qatar. Her work focuses on history of energy\, work\, and politics in the modern United States and the world. Currently\, she is working on her first book\, which traces the emergence of energy citizenship—a form of national belonging defined by the rights and obligations of energy production\, distribution\, and consumption—from the coal mining workplace in the modern United States. A second project examines the role of utility companies in defining what counts as “energy work” by organizing both individuals and communities into energy producers and energy consumers. Her research has appeared in Labor\, the Journal of Energy History/ Revue d’Histoire de l’Énergie\, and American Quarterly. Support for my work has come from the Mellon Foundation\, the Jefferson Scholars Foundation at the University of Virginia\, the American Society for Environmental History\, the Western Association of Women Historians\, the Labor and Working-Class History Association\, the Center for the History of Business\, Technology\, and Society\, the University of Chicago\, and several research libraries.
