N2 - The African American anthropologist Ellen Irene Diggs was one of the first scholars to write on African-descendant culture in Latin America. As one of W. E. B. Du Bois’ closest collaborators and a student of the Cuban anthropologist Fernando Ortiz, Diggs was an active contributor to the global exchange of ideas on issues of race and the history of Africa and the African diaspora. This paper focuses on Diggs’ formative starting point as a student of Cuban anthropology, history, and society and asks how her experiences as a participant in the escuela de verano and a doctoral student at the University of Havana in the 1940s shaped her views on these issues. It also investigates the complex intersection of politics and education in the broader context of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Pan-Americanist policies and Diggs’ commitment to the internationalist politics of Black solidarity, showing how Diggs carved out a space for herself in the racially exclusive environment of the university.
