Course Description

Discipline(s): Cultures & Societies of the World / Artistic, Interpretive, & Philosophical Inquiry

This course explores the critical and the constructive dimensions of African American political thought from slavery to the present. We will assess the claims that black Americans have made upon the polity, how they have defined themselves, and how they have sought to redefine key terms of political life such as citizenship, equality, freedom, and power.
