Building on a spatial and environmental framing\, \;“Di savowed Mobilities” \;asks how Afro-Amerindian movement\, survival\, and displacement were structured not only by imperial violence but also b y the material and ecological conditions of an amphibian territory. \; By foregrounding landscapes and seascapes as key historical agents\, exile emerges as a process of spatial reconfiguration\, unfolding across island s\, coastlines\, and contested frontiers. \;The trajectories of Afro-A merindian people reveal not only how Africa\, the Caribbean\, and Central America became linked through ongoing processes of displacement\, but also how their human-environmental interactions structured and enabled resista nce.

\n

Drawing on archival\, ethnographic and oral history research\ , the lecture reflects on what it means to follow these mobile worlds thro ugh different forms of historical evidence\, how these mobilities are reme mbered\, and what kind of archives of the future we are creating.
