Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Africana Studies

Description:

This course will examine the rise of racial segregation sanctioned by law and racial custom from 1865-1965. Equally important, we will explore the multiple ways African Americans negotiated and resisted segregation in the private and public sphere. Topics will include: disfranchisement, labor and domesticity, urbanization, public space, housing, education, history and memory, and the lasting effects of sanctioned segregation. Music and film will supplement classroom discussions. This course aims toward an understanding of the work that race does, with or without laws, to order society based race, class and gender.
