A
major in Afro-American studies
prepares you to understand
the context and dynamics
of the African-American
experience, past and present,
gives you an introduction
to the methods of the social
sciences in a comparative,
interdisciplinary context,
and develops your abilities
for graduate studies. You
can choose from three areas
of concentration. The political
concentration includes an
overview of the institution
of human bondage, black
political thought and activism
in nineteenth-and twentieth-century
America, and the political
economies of contemporary
Afro-Caribbean societies.
A sociological concentration
is based on the voluntary
associations. The cultural
concentration highlights
the black experience in
literature and popular culture.
