Afro-American civilisation (ethnic and racial issues) 15-CAAPEIR-KAA-11
The course examines the history of race and race relations in North America from the colonial period through modern times, with a particular focus on the history of African-Americans. The class will begin with study of the means by which the notion of race has been constructed historically in the North America and how it functions today in the Unites States and Canada. Following this introduction, students will explore a number of issues related to the history of African Americans in the region, including the role played by the legacy of slavery, the persistent phenomena of racism, prejudice, and racial inequality, and the intersections between race, class and gender. Lastly, the link between race, language and culture will be explored with an emphasis on African American culture in the late 20th and early 21st century and its place within the dominant, majority culture.
