“Ghetto” is an extraordinarily complex word which is both a noun and an adjective. It refers to medieval and early modern Jewish history; black experience in the great northern cities of America in the twentieth century; nineteenth-century imaginary ghettos; and our contemporary sense of cities and countries segregated by race and class. What makes “the ghetto” unique is that it is a place full of historical memory. In this talk, Prof Bryan Cheyette will show how different ghettos (urban, racial, colonial) travel across time and space.
