Pan Africanism and Contemporary Black Internationalism

This course explores key philosophical, theoretical and intellectual aspects of Pan-Africanism and Black Internationalism in the diaspora with emphasis on their expression in the Americas. We emphasize the work of individuals, organizations, and movements and the development of Pan-Africanism beginning with the era of African independence up to the contemporary period. We engage in close readings of texts and identify ideas that shaped Pan-Africanism and Black Internationalism in the last quarter of the 20th century.
