About this course
This is an African American Studies course that introduces students to concepts of race, racialization, ethnicity, racial identity formation, and their impact on the lived experiences of Black people in the United States. The course will build upon African American Studies concepts in order to understand the experiences of the African Diaspora in the United States. This course will build upon this concept of Sankofa or "returning to the source" in order to understand the present state of the African Diaspora, specifically those individuals identifying as Black American or African American. Emphasis will be placed on the historical and psycho-cultural understanding of people of African descent throughout the Diaspora.
