HIST 37 The Black Radical Tradition in America
This course introduces major currents in the history of black radical thought, with a particular focus on the U.S. after emancipation. This class encourages students to define and evaluate radicalism in the shifting contexts of various liberation struggles. By exploring dissenting visions of social organization and alternative definitions of citizenship and freedom as expressed through nonviolence, armed rebellion, black nationalism, Pan Africanism, socialism, communism, anticolonialism, feminism, queer theory and integrationism, students will confront the meaning of the intersection of race, gender, class and sexuality in social movements.
