AFS 2021 Intro to African Studies II
This course provides an interdisciplinary introduction to the western hemisphere. Themes include African historical and societal background in the Americas: the Diaspora in the Americas; slavery in the western hemisphere; new social forms: family systems, social, cultural and religious institutions; the political and intellectual struggles for humanity and freedom; and cultural, economic, and political development. The approach aims to insure an historical understanding of African American, Afro-Caribbean, and Afro-Latino communities and Africa's constant creativity and contributions to the larger multi-cultural stream.
