here is the course discribtion:
This is an upper level college survey course whose overall purpose is to provide an introductory
overview of the African experience in Africa and its global Diaspora, using a comparative approach.
“Diaspora†means dispersion or scattering. This course traces the voluntary and involuntary
movements of peoples of African ancestry across their continental homeland, and their
subsequent dispersion around the world to Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the
Americas—as well as their return to Africa. The course proceeds chronologically from the 14th
century to the present. Topics will include slavery; resistance movements and emancipation; the role
of women; religion; and a comparison of the development of modern, organized political
movements with intellectual currents in the African Diasporic communities—also with some
emphasis on contemporary developments.
