AFRAMER 108 - African Americans and the Politics of Home Ground

Institution:

Harvard University

Subject:

Description:

In few realms have there been such high stakes for, as Dr. W.E.B. Du Bois so famously put it, "outthinking and outflanking the owners of the world," as in African Americans' quest for just, safe, and prosperous places to call home. This course is an interdisciplinary investigation of some of the spaces and places from the colonial era through the present that African Americans have created, occupied, tried to endure or escape, worked to make livable, and struggled to keep despite continuing opposition.
