HIST 9.06 Black Ethnicities in the United States

This course examines the historical processes of identity formation among varied groups of African-descended people in the United States, problematizing the concept of “African-American” by interrogating the history of the Gullah-Geeche, the Black Seminoles, the Freedmen (Choctaw, Cherokee, and Chickasaw), and the Creoles of the Gulf Coast (Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama). In particular, students will examine the ethnogenesis of these groups and, where appropriate, the phenomenon of emerging linguistic distinctiveness, and the historical relationship between linguistic minority groups and Anglo-American hegemony.
