Course Description
This course will examine the complex set of ideas concerning politics, history, literature, and various aspects of human culture that are characteristic of the interdisciplinary tradition of Africana Studies. The emergence of a tradition of African and diasporic thinkers is one of the most significant events of modernity’s colonial and post-colonial experience and marks a major turn in the history of thought more generally.
