HIS 3101 AFRO-BRAZILIAN HISTORY & CULTURE
The course for students is linked to a trip to Salvador, Bahia State, Brazil. Brazil is the largest country of South America and harbors the largest African population outside of Africa (ca. 80 millions, at least half of the total population), the second largest Black population in any country behind Nigeria, well before the US. Salvador is the largest city and the capital of the state of Bahia, and holds preeminence in both cultural and political aspects.
