HUMN 7375 - The African Diaspora: Literature and Culture of Black Liberation
Credits: 3
Throughout the African diaspora, struggles for African independence in the mid-20th century had their roots in cultural awakenings such as Pan-Africanism, the Harlem renaissance, negritude, African humanism, and the black arts movement. Drawing on an interdisciplinary framework and resources, students examine the slave trade and its impact, historical figures and their thoughts, and creative expressions on evolving notions of African diasporic identity. Primary texts are supplemented by film, music, historical essays, cultural criticism, and theories from the growing field of diaspora studies. This course may be applied to the following curricular field concentrations: humanities; American studies; global studies; gender studies; human rights and social justice; arts and cultural traditions.
