This new cluster course examines aspects of African culture in the Diaspora: Africa, the Caribbean and certain parts of South and North America. Attention will be on charms, painting, sculpture, secret scripts, textiles, as well as religions and spirituality. Understanding African Diaspora culture also involves an analysis of historical and sociological movements, the interpretation of written culture, and the effects of Africa's response to colonialism. The transmission and transformation of African cultures will be addressed by a close investigation of visual and material culture, and the cosmlogical constructions of African peoples. Methodologies are from the Art History, Literature and Religious Studies. Restrictions: Sophomore or above.
