AAAS 88.07 Afro-Diasporic Dialogues: Latin America and the U.S.

This course investigates how people of African ancestry have forged cultural and political ties across national boundaries in the Americas. Drawing on primary sources, film, and literature, we will examine the transnational dialogue among US African Americans, Afro-Latinos, and Afro-Caribbeans from the 19th century to the present. We will also consider why efforts to mobilize Afro-descendants across the Americas have often been undermined by mutual misunderstandings, conflicting agendas, and differing conceptions of "race" and "nation."
