Africana
Women in Historical Perspective is a global, cross-cultural survey of the lives
and contributions of women of African ancestry. Emphasis will be placed upon
shared elements of African culture that, when impacted by colonialism and/or the
Atlantic slave trade, resulted in similar types of resistance to oppression, and
analogous cultural expression among the women of four locales- Africa, South
America and The Caribbean, North America and Europe. Theoretical methodologies,
historical narrative, literature, demographic data, material culture,
representations of self, and representations by others will be explored to
illuminate/explain the: history, cultural artifacts, cultural retentions, and
self-concept. Previously listed as WGST 280 or WGS 280; cross-listed as AFAM 280 or AAS 280 | |
