Student experience

the class

The African-descended population of the Americas is around 180 million people. Roughly two-thirds of those live outside of the United States, mostly in Brazil and the Caribbean. Provides an overview of the histories, aspirations, and problems that have most impacted peoples of the African diaspora in the years since the Haitian Revolution. As such, the focus will be thematic rather than chronological. The primary emphasis will be on the history of political, social, and intellectual movements. Topics will include slave resistance, black nationalism, socialism, and anti-colonialism. Learn about figures as varied as Toussaint L'Ouverture, Ida B. Wells, Marcus Garvey, WEB DuBois, Carolina Maria de Jesus, Frantz Fanon, Paul Robeson, and many others. Other topics to be covered include: the meaning of "freedom," the construction of black "masculinities," diasporic religious expressions, art and literature, and race and medicine.
