Transatlantic Blackness

Catalog description

This course will emphasize intra-racial, intra-ethnic, and intra-national explorations of Blackness, allowing students to examine what distinguishes Black experiences globally and to advance their understanding of the legacies of oppression that have resulted in internalized forms of anti-Blackness but also in transnational forms of resistance. Students will learn about the key historical, intellectual, and political aspects of white supremacy as a system of racial domination, and anti-black racism as a central feature of that global system.
