Institution:

Lafayette College

Subject:

Description:

This course combines the study of Africa with the study of the two diasporas. The Diaspora of Enslavement concerns slaves and descendants of slaves in both the Western and Eastern Diaspora. The Diaspora of Colonization concerns demographic dispersal as a result of colonialism. African Americans are in their majority part of the diaspora of enslavement. Recent African immigrants into France are part of the Diaspora of Colonization. Jamaicans and Trinidadians in Britain are a double diaspora-products of both enslavement and colonialism. The course examines black genesis from Africa, comparative slavery, emancipation and reconstruction, and comparative liberation from colonialism. Prerequisite: AFS 211 Staff
