We will explore the founding principles and purposes of the field, the evolution of its imperatives, its key debates, and the lives and missions of its progenitors and practitioners. In doing so we will survey, broadly and deeply, the diverse historical, political, social, cultural, religious/spiritual, and economic experiences and expressions of the African Diaspora in the Americas and beyond. Approach: Cross-Cultural Analysis (CC), Critical Interpretation (CI), Writing Intensive; Enrollment Cap: 18; If the course exceeds the enrollment cap the following criteria will be used for the lottery: Africana Studies minor by class (senior, then junior, then sophomore), then senior, then junior, then sophomore non minors. |
