This course approaches the study of the Black diaspora through a global and interdisciplinary lens. Throughout the quarter, the scope of our focus will span several centuries and a number of different regions, including but not limited to the Americas, Caribbean, Western Europe, Middle East, and Southeast Asia. As such, we will learn about the long history of the Black diaspora's movements and how those movements shaped the places from which they departed, through which they traversed, and to which they arrived.
