HUM 1051 - African American Cultural Perspectives

Institution:

Century College - Minnesota

Subject:

Description:

This course surveys broad elements of humanities that comprise the culture of African Americans from slavery to present day. Its aim is to show how elements such as literature, science, politics, history, religion, music, theater, language, art, television, and motion pictures have contributed to the formation and some current appreciations and interpretations of African American culture. These elements are studied in the context of how white culture, though the institution of slavery, sharply influenced these elements, and therefore, African American culture itself. The course also focuses on how African American, European American, and other non-African Americans respond to overall characteristics of African American culture, and how African American culture has influenced the dominant American culture.
