| AFAM (F25) | 40A AFRICAN AMERICAN I | STAFF |
| 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, WRI | MURILLO, 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 VIOLENCE | MILLWARD, 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. |
| AFAM (F25) | 154 CAPITALISM&BLK | MCDOUGALL, T. |
| In the summer of 2021, acclaimed filmmaker Spike Lee starred in an ad for a Cryptocurrency ATM Coincloud. In this ad, he claimed that “Currency is not current,” “the Digital Rebellion is here,” and “New money is in.” This ad is one of the most recent examples of a longstanding pattern that is at the heart of this course: black liberation has been linked to capitalist freedom in the United States and around the world. Working together, we will explore and interrogate this link in the United States context historically, theoretically, and aesthetically through developing an expansive definition of capitalism to think about black liberation as dynamic and live political and theoretical problem. The course will examine several questions through the work of scholars, activists, and artists that take this link as both a serious question and a problem. What does capitalism have to do with racial blackness? To what extent is racial oppression related to class oppression? Is capitalism always racial? If so, how? How and why did black liberation become intertwined with capitalist freedom? Are we free under capitalism? If so, free in what sense? If not, what would we have to change? |
