AFST 30286 - Racialization in U.S. and Brazilian History

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Africana Studies

Description:

This course will consider the processes that have caused aspects of society to be racialized, or labeled with racial meanings, symbolisms, and/or identities. The class will focus on, but will not be limited to, "black" racialization. We will examine how racialization has shaped the human experience in the largest ex-slaveholding nations of the Americas - the United States and Brazil. Our goal is to understand the ways in which not only people are racialized, but also communities, geographical regions, nations, cultural production (such as music), behavior, labor, and gender, to name a few. With these two nations as our case studies, the class will explore the dynamic nature of racialization, focusing on the impact that space and time has had on the way we identify and live race.
