African American Culture: Historical and Aesthetic Roots - Sec 005
AFS 2010 introduces students to examples, examining three texts, of the broader complexity of African American history and aesthetics that have evolved into a coherent collection of beliefs and practices that most African Americans have known longest as their own culture. We will seek to understand African American culture historically (not as ‘fashions’ or as ‘trends’ from limited period to period) but by examining the thoughts of three black authors in order to consider Black culture and aesthetics as a deep history. This is a history course, not a pop culture course of the sort often offered in a literature class.

Politics and Culture in Anglophone Caribbean - Sec 003
The Caribbean is one of the most crucial geographic, political, and cultural sites on earth for any accurate, coherent, and historically conscious understanding of the New World. It is the location of the first slaves brought to the Americas, it is the location of the first capitalist mass agricultural production sites, and is the location of the first Greek styled (ala France) democracy to be born in this hemisphere. We will use economic and political documentary analysis and will carefully avoid the myths of ‘race’ often misused to understand the rise of the corporate slave trade and misused to explain the rise of mercantilism/capitalism. You will practice objective, analytical thinking and writing--your own documentary writing, from evidence. The Caribbean in this way can be fully understood for what it is: the origin, nature, and course of the modern age.
