ANTH 312 - People of the African Diaspora

3 credits
This course explores the patterns of dispersal of African peoples around the world, the kinds of diasporic identities these populations developed in their new locations, and to what extent did they maintain linkages with Africa through demographic, cultural, economic, political, ideological, and iconographic flows. Distinctions are drawn between the “historic” and “contemporary” or “new” African diasporas, referring respectively to diasporas formed before and during the twentieth century.
