Course Description:
Beginning in the sixteenth century and concluding in the nineteenth - this journey is one dedicated to enslaved Black people. It lends its focus to those who birthed Black America, and how they did so. From their arrival in chains, through their fight towards emancipation, and to the death of reconstruction, the course explores their struggles and triumphs. It not only focuses on the layered mechanisms of anti-Blackness that sustained their bondage, but their development of a "nation within a nation" - with its own ideals and ideologies, as well as traditions and languages. We will lean on the voices of African-Americans from these periods, and scholars who have committed themselves to holding up their lived realities. |
