Anthropology of African Americans
ANTH270 SP

This course surveys the ways twentieth century anthropologists and African American intellectuals have analyzed African American communities and cultures in the U.S. We will examine the development of anthropological discussions about race and culture, the black family, African American identity, and the African Diaspora and explore how they have intersected with political and intellectual movements.
