ETHN 149 - Civl Rghts/Anti-Colnial Mvmnts

Institution:

Santa Clara University

Subject:

Ethnic Studies

Description:

This course examines the connections between two historical developments often treated separately: the US civil rights struggle and African anti-colonial movements. By placing these two movements in a transnational framework, the course explores the global challenge to the racialized world order of the 19th and early 20th century. How did civil rights struggle gain momentum in the aftermath of World War II? What was the longer history and role of "Black Nationalism" and Pan-Africanism in the transnational struggle? What were the connections between the civil rights movement and contemporary independence movements in Africa and Asia? One of the central goals of the course is to show how we can expand our understanding of US history by reaching beyond the interaction between the US government and other nationstates to examine political and cultural change. Cross-listed with HIST 153.
