SYLLABUS: Black Mecca and black popular culture
Description
This course is an upper level seminar that focuses on the history, politics and culture in the Black New South. With an interdisciplinary approach as seen through public memorials, film, music, and literature, the focus is on the major issues involved in the study of the post civil rights African American experience, both the objective issues being analyzed in the research literature and the subjective issues of how African Americans think about their experience. The goal is to provide an opportunity to understand the issues and enter a discourse based on black thought.
