HIST-1306B Pensamiento Afroamericano
The aim of this course is to familiarize the students with African-American thought. The course revolves around three main thematic axes: the first is a critical look at the Yorubian tendency that has set Cuba, Haiti and Brazil up as paradigms of Afro-Americanism and African-American studies. This condition has excluded or subordinated the reconstruction of historical and cultural processes of other African populations deported to Central and South America. The second thematic axis revolves around formulating arguments for a debate on the Afro-Caribbean and the Afro-Andean historical specificities. The third thematic axis is an analysis of the relationship between history, memory and cultural heritage regarding the Afro-Latin-American legacies.
