SOC 380FBlack Radical Tradition

Catalog

How can the Black Radical Tradition provide a framework for understanding exploitation and oppression and promote liberation? This course explores this question by examining the intellectual history and political thought of Black radicalism in the United States, the Caribbean, and Latin America, as well as their dialogue with Africa. Drawing from a diverse range of scholars and activists, we will explore how they have analyzed capitalism, highlighting its relationship with the racialization and gendering of the world, as well as their contributions to the creation of new futures.
