HUMN 7359 - Just Between Sisters: Relationships of Mixed-Race Women and Girls
Credits: 3
A focus on intersectional and relational questions of first-generation African/African diasporic (black) and European (white) mixed-race women and girls through the use of novels, memoirs, and film. The intersectional questions refer to Kimberlé Crenshaw’s concept of intersectionality: the ways in which race and gender interact to shape the multiple dimensions of black women’s lives. Crenshaw argues that the intersection of racism and sexism operate in black women’s lives in ways that a single-dimensional analysis fails to reveal. The course builds on Crenshaw’s concept to explore the various ways race, gender, class, and sexuality intersect in shaping the identity of mixed-race women and girls and their relationships with other women and girls. This course may be applied to the following curricular field concentrations: American studies; gender studies; human rights and social justice; humanities.
