African Cultural Institutions. This course examines the social and political institutions embodying patterns of culture that have evolved over thousands of years and represent Africa's contribution to glo bal civilization. Contemporary African so cieties reflect the interplay of tradition and change since institutions of the past have not simply given way to the newer ones of the present. African cultural institutions and practices continue to give direction to the internal and external changes that are taking place in Africa and in the Americas today. The course enables students to see Africa in a world perspective and pro vides a framework for scholarly research. Mr. Opoku 211. The Black Experience.

AFRICANA STUDIES experience in its global context. As such, it is most immediately focused on the expo sure of students to the life experiences of blacks from a variety of perspectives so that they become familiar with a broad range of fact and opinion about these ex periences. The course reflects a strong multidisciplinary perspective in address ing topics and issues. Offered in fall se mester. Mr. Opoku, Mr. McCartney 213. Racism and Sexism. This course uses a multidisciplinary perspective to focus on the interplay of race, class, gender, and sexual orientation in American society. Readings include students' personal ac counts of experiences of racism and sex ism and academic analyses of the dynam ics of oppression. A variety of teaching and learning styles is used, but emphasis is on discussion of readings and their con nections to personal experiences. The goal is to help students articulate their under standing of how oppression has affected their lives as well as the lives of others. Of fered in fall semester. Ms Nixon 307. Black Social and Political Thought. This course examines the complexity of ideas of black leaders in Africa, the Carib bean, and the Americas, including Kwame Nkrumah, Julius Nyerere, Nelson Mande la, Marcus Garvey, George Padmore, W.E.B. DuBois, Martin Luther King, Mal colm X, Elijah Mohammed, and Jesse Jack son. Theories and thoughts presented both in scholarly formats and in nonformal fashion in everyday life are examined in a way that makes them not less powerful or rigorous but accessible. The course reflects diverse theoretical traditions such as Afro- centric philosophy, liberal and conserva tive thought, capitalist and Marxist social thought, sociology of knowledge, postmod ernism, etc. Prerequisite: AFS 211. Staff 325. Global Africa: Comparative Black Experience. This course combines the study of Africa with the study of the two diasporas. The Diaspora of Enslavement concerns slaves and descendants of slaves in both the Western and Eastern Diaspora. The Diaspora of Colonization concerns demographic dispersal as a result of colo nialism. African Americans are in their majority part of the diaspora of enslave ment. Recent African immigrants into France are part of the Diaspora of Coloni zation. Jamaicans and Trinidadians in Brit ain are a double diaspora products of both enslavement and colonialism. The course examines black genesis from Afri ca, comparative slavery, emancipation and reconstruction, comparative liberation from colonialism, and other areas of con vergence in African and Diaspora Studies. Prerequisite: AFS 211. Staff 360. Racial Identity Development A course on the major issues in personali ty development and socialization of Afri can Americans.
