KS 340M
Being Black in Diaspora
This course complicates understandings of place and space by thinking through and with various Black and African Studies perspectives to discuss what it means to be Black in diaspora. By considering the ongoing legacies of slavery and colonialism, we will prioritize Black perspectives that are attentive to Black life in ways that illuminate both the overlapping and nuanced experiences of Black people globally. We will also decentre North American experiences, particularly those of African Americans, by prioritizing Black/African cultural expressions emerging out of Europe, the Caribbean, Africa, and the Middle Passage. This course will allow students to think about the dynamic implications of neocolonialism and Black resistance worldwide.
