PHIL 38.05 Black Political Theory

This class examines main ideas and key thinkers within African American, Black American, and Africana political theory. This course compares goals, viewpoints, and strategies of various African American political and social movements of resistance and social and political voices that helped to shape them. Rather than proceeding chronologically, the course is structured around thematic units designed to give a foundational understanding of the development of Africana, Black American, and African American thought on a series of major socio-political topics, such as class, nationality, race, white supremacy, gender, body politics, and culture. The course is structured to give students an understanding of these topics and the multiplicity of methods employed in Black socio-political theory and philosophy.
