Description

This course analyzes the history of African-Americans to 1877, with a special focus on African American arts and artists working in various media and traditions. As one of the courses included in the LSA-themed semester focusing on Arts and Resistance, this course will tell the history of African Americans through the lens of visual art, music, and performance. Along the way, we will consider the early history of African Americans in an effort to chronicle the long history of race, slavery, and gender in the country. We will explore some of the major debates in African American history, and students will be encouraged to form opinions and convictions on these major issues. The course is interactive and includes sources from the lived experience of African-Americans including songs, folktales, and visual culture.
