AFRA 393 - Special Topics: Readings in Black Text, Anti-Text, and Juxta-Text

Credit(s): 1-3
READINGS IN BLACK TEXT
Component: Lecture
This course is colloquy formatted and specifically either with one text or various texts. Text is construed as either written, imaged, filmic, etc. etc. etc. Dialogues and disagreements are encouraged to help us reconceive (which is in keeping with Africana Studies) paradigms of knowledge. All of the work in the course connects to the student’s concentration and thus the readings are in a multivariate intellectual context and thus works within varying disciplinary identities that serve to develop divergent understanding.
