HIST 007 Introduction to Africana Studies
Charles and Savage
Taught as schedule allows (consult the Course Directory)
This course will provide an introduction to black studies by examining some of the huge themes that constitute black life: identity, religion, slavery, popular culture, class conflict, Atlantic relations, global influences, gender, sexual orientation and generational conflict. We will probe some of the major figures and forces that define black life, and help to construct a reasonable understanding of how Africana Studies is both situated within such discourses, and helps to define them as well.
