Institution:

Cazenovia College (Closed 2023)

Subject:

Description:

In a span of almost four centuries, millions of Africans were transported to North America, South America, and the Caribbean Islands as slaves. Forcibly removed from their homelands and separated from their kin and societies, they were enslaved in a new world where all familiar customs were suppressed. This course examines how Africans, despite these brutal conditions, managed to reform their identities in a new world. Through a comparative examination of African experiences in different new world societies, students will gain an appreciation of the ways in which Africans created social identities and cultures for themselves in these trying conditions. (Offered on a rotating basis) Prerequisites: En 101 for 200 level and EN 201 for 300 level or permission of the instructor.
