AFBL 344 - Black Atlantic
This course will analyze the varied roles of African peoples and cultures in the Atlantic World. It will do away with the conventional political borders and historical definitions and look at the Atlantic as a cohesive and integrated area which includes Africa, the Americas, and Europe. We will consider a number of topics, including philosophical claims to modernity, reconstituting and defining freedom, ideology, racial, ethnic, and gendered identities, ongoing migratory movements (forced and ‘voluntary’), African Diaspora, and cultural milieus among other issues.
