ABD 303 - Themes in African Diaspora

Institution:

DePaul University

Subject:

Description:

Where is Africa In Spain, Africa is said to "begin in the Pyrenees"; in Italy, to begin in Naples. Recent scholarship argues that Africa is not limited to geography, but is found in the traditions and identities of many Caribbean peoples. After reviewing models of how Africa has been conceived of by Europeans from antiquity to the present, we will examine how Africans and their descendants have resisted these definitions, or used them, while struggling for self-determination. Topics include the cultural impact of Africans in Europe: ethnic identity of Africans in the Caribbean; organized resistance to American slavery; and Pan-Africanism.
