This course will interrogate how Black identity shapes conceptions of womanhood and manhood over space and time. In particular, we will examine the varied ways that Black people have defined, understood, and challenged individual and communal notions of femininity and masculinity. In doing so, we will consider how a gendered analysis shapes our understanding of family, power, sexuality, activism, and resistance. Focusing on a range of scholarly interventions from classic as well as recent texts, we will explore major themes and developments in the interpretation of Black gender history. While the course is designed for historians, it explicitly incorporates scholarship in other disciplines to encourage students to develop interdisciplinary approaches to the study of Black life.
