The focus of this course is on African, Afro-European, Afro-Native American, Caribbean, South and North American Maroon societies. In this course we examine various cultural constructs through which Africans in America understand and influence the world. The chronology of this course encompasses Dynastic Egypt, pre-European Conquest Africa, pre-Columbian America, to Post Reconstruction America 1877. ES 221 and 223 examine culture, identity, gender and women's roles, economics, and African and Native American responses to systematic oppression towards goals of individual and group liberation.
