AAAS 66 B/black Migration: Diversity, Identity, and Solidarity Politics in the U.S. and Beyond
This course will explore tensions and misunderstandings between people referred to as “B/black im/migrants” and “B/black natives.” Questions for interrogation include: Who is “African American,” “B/black,” and/or “native?” Who decides? What accounts for hostilities among groups racialized and politicized as “b/Black?” What issues do newcomers confront when immigrating to a highly racialized society? Focusing on the United States, students will also travel through time and space exploring this topic’s relationship to global anti-blackness and anti-racism.
