Institution:

Harvard University

Subject:

Description:

Material culture study has much to offer in its own right and as an avenue into, and challenge to other fields. This course investigates intersections and disjunctions between material forms-- foodways; spiritual, religious, and healing practices; artisanal, craft, and visual art creations; and more-- and both the documents on which historians depend and the claims anthropologists and sociologists have made about the character of the African Diaspora, especially within what is now the United States.
