Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Africana Studies

Description:

This course will provide a survey of the American South through Reconstruction. We will briefly describe Native American societies and early Spanish settlements in Florida and the Southwest before addressing in greater detail the political, cultural, and social history of the region as it was settled beginning in the Southeast. We will examine how ideas like honor, freedom, patriarchy, and religious beliefs were forged and evolved in the context of a slave economy, and how they shaped the day's political questions. We will also consider the Confederate experience and Reconstruction. There will be one paper (30 percent), two exams (25 percent each), reading reports (10 percent) and class participation (10 percent).
