The African Diaspora

1.5 credits · Undergraduate

Introduction to the historical and contemporary experiences of Black people in the African diaspora. Focuses from a global perspective on thematic issues connecting people of African descent to other racialized groups in the Atlantic and other parts of the world, including race, class, gender, culture, power, politics and violence. Critically examines how Africans responded to slavery and colonialism, and how they have coped with centuries of white exploitation.
