Living While Black: Contemporary Issues in the African Diaspora

Course #: AFRSTY 200

Description:
A writing- and research-intensive critical examination of contemporary and long unfolding social, political, cultural, historical, public health, and economic issues within and across the Black Diaspora, including the trans-Atlantic and trans-Pacific spaces of Africa, the U.S., the Caribbean, Latin and South America, Europe, and the Pacific Islands. This course will engage the burgeoning scholarly and theoretical fields of Black Studies, enabling a full and rigorous commitment to a trans-national and trans-disciplinary approach to the problems of black social life within colonial modernity and racial capitalism. This course will closely examine the complex of issues that affect African and African-descended individuals, their families, and their communities within the context and in the aftermath of European colonization.
