AAAS 88.18 Black Feminisms in the French Atlantic

French colonialism and particularly French transatlantic slavery between the 17th and 19th centuries produced a shared linguistic and cultural legacy as well as a sustained political struggle carried by Black populations in France, sub-Saharan Africa, the Caribbean, and Québec. Although combatting racial inequality and white supremacy is generally understood through the lens of movements in the US, or the example of South African apartheid, this course invites students to consider such undertakings from a fundamentally transnational point of view by focusing on Black Feminisms in the French-speaking African diaspora. Open to all students. Text, lectures and discussion in English.
