In this course, we will engage anthropological and historical perspectives to examine the individual and collective experiences of African American women. Our aim is to gain awareness of the political, social, and cultural threads that, when woven together, form the central themes that gave rise to organic black feminist practices and ideologies. Particular attention will be devoted to developing knowledge and understanding of African American women's experiences of enslavement, efforts at self-definition and self-sufficiency, social and political activism and the need to forge a political collective based on feminist thoughts.
Unless preregistered students attend the first class meeting or communicate directly with the instructor prior to the first class, they will be dropped from the class list. NOTE: Students must still submit a completed Drop/Add form to the Registrar's Office.
