Connections 23007 - African Diaspora in New World

Institution:

Wheaton College - Massachusetts

Subject:

Description:

The courses in this connection connect the tradition of African American music to important aspects of American history and culture as studied from the perspectives of history and/or sociology. Students will learn to contextualize material across courses in these disciplines. History and sociology address issues of race and ethnicity, resistance, the church, community building, and the historical, political and economic backgrounds of these issues. Music explores the intangible reservoir of creativity and spiritual energy that helped an oppressed community not only to survive, but to flourish artistically. This connection encourages students to synthesize history and sociology with artistic and theological issues through music. This may be completed as a two- or threecourse connection. All connections must include at least one of the music courses; two-course connections must be constructed with courses from different departments.
