PHIL 26700 - Africana Philosophy

Course Credit: 1
(AFST)
AFRICANA PHILOSOPHY: This course provides an introduction to Africana Philosophy. This course will critically engage: (i) competing notions of Africana and Afrodiasporic philosophy, (ii) the psychological, corporeal, and economic effects of colonization and the transatlantic slave trade, (iii) questions of ethnic and racial identity and group advocacy, and (iv) creative methods of fashioning a world with less degradation and misery, less subjection. We will become acquainted with the works of several challenging and provocative philosophers, such as: Frederick Douglass, Anna Julia Cooper, W.E.B Du Bois, Alaine Locke, Sylvia Wynter, Paulin Hountondji, Angela Y. Davis, and Patricia Hill Collins. [AH, GE, PPRE, SJ]
