POLITICAL SCIENCE 428 - Pan-Africanism

Institution:

Hobart William Smith Colleges

Subject:

Description:

Pan-Africanism refers to the political and cultural opposition to the legacies of racial capitalism, colonization, and imperialism. With discussion shifting from intellectual writing to activities taking place in the streets, dance-halls and athletic arenas, the course probes the extent to which emancipatory ideas have been "tainted" by the powers-that-be. For example, students look at how dominant notions of gender, sexuality, class, color, leadership and religion have sometimes compromised Pan-Africanism's liberatory potential. Finally, they look at the challenges for a new Pan-Africanism posed by globalization and the technological revolution. (Johnson
