Media heralding of the "New Black Intellectuals" has
drawn attention to African Americans as theorists, critics,
and scholars. This course will stress that current black
intellectuals are not a new phenomenon by underlining the
long tradition in which African Diaspora peoples have
represented themselves and the interests of black
communities. We will read texts by well-known and less
familiar writers in order to develop an understanding how
these writings have contributed to ongoing debates about
race, class, identity, and power and to discussions of
highly contested issues such as nationalism, feminism,
integration, and Pan-Africanism.
MAJOR READINGS
Major readings will include selections from:
C.L.R. James, Anna Julia Cooper, Harold Cruse, Angela Davis,
W.E.B. DuBois, Paul Gilroy, Audre Lorde, Ida B. Wells.
EXAMINATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS
Participation in class
discussion, oral presentation, several response papers,
short writing assignments.
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.
