| AFAM 40A | AFRICAN AMERICAN I | WADE, K. | 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 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 138 | IDEA OF AMERICA I | CHANDLER, N. | Employing a multidisciplinary approach to the understanding of American society, culture and history, from the 15th century to the early 20th century, this course will provide a new introduction to the very idea and the founding history of America. With touchstone attention to Asia (notably India, Japan, and China) in the idea of America, the diverse sources of its people, African, European, Native American, and more, this course takes the history of matters African American as a central guide. Modern slavery, and then too modern imperialism, modern colonialism, and the coming of the great modern revolutions are central references. The central or guiding question of the course is the doubled matter of the dignity and the denigration of the “human.” The course aims to cultivate a perspective that is at once historical and “cultural,” and thus also comparative, in all of its practices. |
