BLST 0101 - Introduction to Black Studies
*Introduction to Black Studies* This course considers the issues, epistemologies, and political investments central to Black Studies as a field. We will explore chronologically, thematically, and with an interdisciplinary lens the social forces and ideas that have shaped the individual and collective experiences of African-descended peoples throughout the African Diaspora. This course is a broad survey of the history of chattel slavery, colonial encounters, community life, and social institutions of black Americans. We will address issues of gender and class; the role of social movements in struggles for liberation; and various genres of black expressive cultures. Students will develop critical tools, frameworks, and vocabulary for further study in the field. Course materials may include Maulana Karenga’s /Introduction to Black Studies/, C.L.R. James’s /The Black Jacobins/, and Hurston’s /Their Eyes Were Watching God/. 3 hrs. lect.
