Producing Diaspora: Cultural Dialogue in the Black Atlantic

Course Description

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2014-2015.

While traditional understandings of the African diaspora center on displaced communities of African-descended peoples in the Americas, emerging scholarship increasingly calls attention to the active role played by Africans in the production of the Black Atlantic world. Focusing on cultural practices as performative dialogues that reflect, create, sustain, and mediate diasporic connections, this seminar explores the intersecting and multidirectional transnational movements, both historic and contemporary, that define the Black Atlantic.
