HIS 518 - Black America and Africa(3 credits)
Exploration of the ways that African Americans have “imagined home” by considering the relationship that peoples of African descent in the United States have held with Africa, and how that relationship has figured historically in the making of an “African American” identity. Students investigate the transformation of African identities in the “new world”, the formation and transformation of racial nationalism and its relationship to the continent, as well as the connection between the U.S.-based freedom movement and African struggles for independence. Throughout the course participants define and redefine what is and has been meant by terms such as the “African Diaspora,” “Cultural Nationalism,” black transnationalism and “Pan-Africanism.”
