In this paper, I examine the spatial politics of the Bermudian Black Power movement and its connections to Black Power political formations in the wider Caribbean and North America. This spatial politics is examined in detail through an engagement with the First Regional International Black Power Conference (BPC) held in Bermuda on 10–13 July 1969 and the subsequent Black Power political activity on the island that the conference inspired. Through this engagement it is shown how the island of Bermuda and its black population were constitutive of transnational circulations of radical Black Power, and aligned thinkers and activists. This paper develops a reading of a politics of Black Power on the island as challenging hegemonic geographies and political spatialities of white supremacy through the envisioning of alternative, decolonial futures and a resultant pre-figurative political praxis. Such a reading is built on the theory of West Indian scholars David Scott and Brian Meeks and the spatial ontology of Doreen Massey. D. Scott and Meeks have been key contributors to Caribbean critical thought for many decades, with D. Scott the long-time editor of the Caribbean studies journal Small Axe, and both have been concerned with post and de-colonial politics in the region and the role of temporality and historiography in conceptualisations of the Modern Caribbean and Jamaica in particular. This paper offers an exploration of a decolonial spatial politics and political praxis, through the theory of post-colonial Caribbean intellectuals, that foregrounds the agentive and insurgent capacity of Black Power as a political movement in the imagining and pre-figuration of emancipatory futures beyond hegemonic geographies of white supremacy, (neo)colonialism, and (neo)imperialism.

百慕大黑人权力运动政治中的抵抗和去殖民未来的叙述

在本文中，我研究了百慕大黑人权力运动的空间政治及其与大加勒比和北美黑人权力政治结构的联系。这种空间政治通过与 1969 年 7 月 10 日至 13 日在百慕大举行的第一届区域国际黑人权力会议 (BPC) 的参与以及会议启发的岛上随后的黑人权力政治活动进行了详细研究。通过这种参与，它展示了百慕大岛及其黑人人口如何构成激进黑人权力的跨国流通，以及一致的思想家和活动家。本文通过设想替代方案，将岛上的黑人权力政治解读为挑战霸权地理和白人至上的政治空间，去殖民化的未来和由此产生的前象征性的政治实践。这样的解读是建立在西印度学者大卫斯科特和布赖恩米克斯的理论以及多琳梅西的空间本体论之上的。几十年来，D. Scott 和 Meeks 一直是加勒比地区批判性思想的主要贡献者，D. Scott 是加勒比研究杂志的长期编辑小斧头，他们都关注该地区的后和去殖民政治，以及时间性和史学在现代加勒比和牙买加的概念化中的作用。本文通过后殖民加勒比知识分子的理论，对非殖民空间政治和政治实践进行了探索，突出了黑人权力作为一种政治运动的代理和反叛能力，在想象和预想超越霸权的解放未来白人至上主义、（新）殖民主义和（新）帝国主义的地理。
