Alpha Abebe

ABLD joins colleagues, family, and friends in mourning the loss and celebrating the phenomenal life of Dr. Juliet Daniel. The Black community @McMasterU is forever changed—and forever indebted to her tireless advocacy, presence, and labour of love. Rest well, Juliet.

Enrolment is now open on Mosaic for my course "Being, belonging & migration" @McMasterU @McMasterGPSJ for Fall 2025. Pls share with any interested students at Mac.

Attending #BlackFuturities2025 was a powerful reminder of the importance of gathering in community to listen deeply, ask hard questions & dream boldly about the future of Black Studies in Canada. Grateful to @AlphaAbebe & team for curating the event.@abldmcmaster

In my recent piece for @ConversationCA, I explore why the latest wave of Canadian patriotism demands scrutiny. Whose stories are being elevated & whose are being erased when it comes to Indigenous, immigrant, and racialized communities? theconversation.com/rising-canadia… @McMasterU

@umideera Very sorry to hear of this great loss to you and your family Timnet. May his memory bring you strength.

A great tree has fallen. A great tree has fallen in the land! A great tree has fallen. Rest well, Baba 💔

When you're at the grocery store checking for "Product of Canada" labels, remember that most of our domestic fruits and vegetables are grown and harvested by migrant farmworkers from Mexico, Jamaica, and the Eastern Caribbean. Produced in Canada under a system of laws that benefits the multibillion-dollar agriculture industry at the expense of the migrant workers who sustain it. Produced in Canada by migrant workers who pay into EI but are denied access to regular EI benefits. Produced in Canada by migrant workers who, in Ontario, are denied the right to join a union. Produced in Canada by migrant workers who are regarded by the state as good enough to work, but never good enough to stay – no matter how many years of service they put in. Canada's history of systemic racism and exploitation in agriculture exposes the falsehood of the claim that "we are all in this together." Class consciousness demands more than exercises of purchasing power in difficult times. It demands solidarity with workers in our collective struggle for economic justice and liberation.
