Course Descriptions

Term:  

Fall Quarter

Dept Course No and Title Instructor
AFAM (F25)40A  AFRICAN AMERICAN ISTAFF
This course is an introduction to the studies of the history of people of the African diaspora in the United States. Our journey will begin and end with literature from/of Black folks, primarily focusing on the enslaved, listening for what was provided of their condition through their texts. In employing slave narratives as the majority of our primary sources, we will situate what is being provided through the texts in the larger social, political, and historical world- while considering how Black folks reimagined their lives
AFAM (F25)118  BLK FOOD: HIST, WRIMURILLO, J.
"What that taste like?” Ricardo used to ask. It is a loaded question. Black food tastes like subjection, struggle, and terror; and, joy, necessity, and community; and, at the nexus of all these, and in the most vexed way, care. There are historical, political, and philosophical reasons for that because, as with everything Black folk create, what we make is seasoned by the historical and political contexts we endure, and shaped by the hands, hearts, and minds of we who be Black. This course will ask us to consider not just the physical ingredients of the recipes of Black cuisine in, and sometimes beyond, the US, but also those historical, political, and philosophical ingredients that make Black food Black as it is. You hungry?

AFAM (F25)138  BLK WOMXN VIOLENCEMILLWARD, J.
This class focuses on the long history of violence against African American women and their bodies in the United States. For African American women questions about the rights to their own bodies did not end with the abolition of slavery. Rather African American women endured acts of intimate violence during their long journey to “freedom.” Often, relying on only themselves and other women in their communities, African American women faced down these forms of oppression. In doing so, they forged a legacy and developed strategies that were often radical and liberatory. This class investigates this complicated history by using the words, actions, and change brought on by Black women from slavery to the present.
